Wolves win!

In case you missed that this is an update: The woman has died. #SOS wants more of this. I hope @mayorher.bsky.social understands that this is why the Summit Regional plan is a critical need. Not one death is acceptable. We know how to prevent these deaths and have the ability to do so. A choice.

Suffragist and educator Frances Willard riding her bicycle, Gladys (because it made her glad). “I learned to bicycle when 50... and I think it is one of the best things I ever did. What pleases me is to see other worn-out women take it up, and find a new lease of health and life thereby."

the only windows app worth a damn continues to be Character Map. if they add copilot to Character Map I’m gonna riot

“I don’t understand why anybody, liberal or conservative, would be OK with ripping out almost new infrastructure,” Anoka Mayor Erik Skogquist said. “Sports stadiums last longer than this is lasting.” www.startribune.com/northstar-co...

Can't believe this bus wasn't running Sundays or after Wolves games a season ago.

I dream that one day drivers will have the same patience for me crossing the street that they do waiting for a parking spot 10 feet closer to the mall entrance.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

Another example: obvious outcome of allowing parking in bus lanes

the war on cars is the most important war of our lives

I'm not sure people are aware of just how often someone will yell at me on my bike for seemingly the mere sake of existing. I take so much psychic damage from it and it's directly why bits like the St Paul Saints' "bikes shouldn't be on the road" hot takes get my blood boiling

Having one of those days that I realize I've been putting a lot of random shit in my pockets lately

Making a band singular: 3 -1 -1

The worst UI change for Windows 11 is that opening its namesake Window (file explorer) often crashes the operating system. The second worst is that Ctrl+p then Enter doesn't print anymore and instead asks you to change the printer from the default

dinner du nord is downtown as playground: the elites dine on steak on nicollet mall while cops collect OT looking at their phones and an 81 year old woman asks me why buses are gone and she had to walk home to loring

Sometimes in the world of transportation you'll hear arguments against bike lanes because they don't align with the "user-pay, user-benefit" theory but there are many times where everyone can benefit Transportation is not a zero-sum game Separated bike lanes do benefit bikes, but not only bikes

Saw the improved bike path on Minnesota in downtown Saint Paul yesterday, it's so nice! Im glad they are adding infrastructure to make downtown safer and more pleasant for me to visit and for my retired mom to get her steps in from her condo.

Segue to more careful spelling choices this morning

At the Saints game and they are advertising anti-Summit-bike-lane, pro-car messages on the jumbotron. Very disappointed, and t was all brought to you by Busch Light, because nothing goes together better than crushing beers and driving

Street work down the street and the house is shaking with the cadence of a cat cleaning itself

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

Still close to the 3, so I support this site over the farmer's market. Transit options still much diminished over the Target Center

Guy who likes cilantro BECAUSE it tastes like soap

George: Well, I can't walk anywhere now. I'm just gonna be wishing there were walkways. / S05E15 The Pie

Best I can tell the county found a way to eliminate the bike path, while preserving their ability to say they haven't eliminated the bike path. Bizarre outcome.

People lose their minds about this but it would save literally thousands of lives.

I asked Brian Setzer for change for a dollar so I could feed a meter and he just gave me 50 cents

“Driving the speed limit is actually more dangerous than driving 10-20 mph over it actually.” Listen to yourselves.

Hey Minneapolis bikey types - how to report bikeway obstructions to @minneapolismn.gov? Is it the 311 app or something else? If the app, which category? I already put it in to @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social ...

The Como Zoo fought against some of the lots being paid parking because that would "mean the zoo is no longer free." The end result is parking for miles while the displays inside promote conservation

Is there any org that loves to park on GRADE SEPARATED bike infrastructure like USIC?

Do NOT cut a land. Keep your draft decks at 17 mana sources except in EXTREME circumstances.

Go Wolves!

Willow Gate II? I only C1 😢

MnDOT freely admits that motorists will be fine after they adjust yet it claims removing the freeway through the city permanently will cause (c)Armageddon. www.startribune.com/drivers-feel...

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

Respectable parking

Context: it's not just the overnight period. Frey cut the hours of the bus lane during the day when city's own data showed it would harm new BRT transit service.

Why don't movies or shows ever tell you when they are sold out online anymore? Vague error messages are often all I get like the website is trying to ghost me instead of hit me with the hard truth.

Worst part of Twins breakfast was realizing known Yankees fan (the mayor) was there

Whoever @minneapolismn.gov thought these were a good solution for bike parking has never locked up a bike before.

count how many full cars you see, gimme a break!

Sad that Bike and Pedestrian Bridge 9 will be closing for the summer without good reroutes available after Twins games with the Stone Arch still closed. Really need to extend the bike lanes on Hennepin to the county line and onto Larpenteur

Super bummed to see the Electric Fetus have this take. I almost exclusively get there by bike or bus and really welcome the improvements to the safety of Franklin Ave users in this redesign.

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

Gonna tell my niblings this was Minnie and Paul

I bike and take transit to St Paul Brewing when I do go. My mom regularly walks there from her condo downtown. The brewery's old building was off the car-centric Highway 5 instead of the park-adjacent Hamm's building. Why not stay there/move back if parking is valued so highly?

Imagine what a commuter paradise Manhattan would be if millions gave up public transit for cars!
