Merriam-Webster hopes your soul is trapped on the burning earth for Revelation and the last judgment

some good stinkhorns coming up outside the MIA for those intrepid enough to find them…

this is livin’ baby

I'm glad to see both the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees recommend that Council withhold municipal consent until the design restores dedicated, separated spaces for bikes/peds. BAC resolution: lims.minneapolismn.gov/download/Age... PAC resolution: lims.minneapolismn.gov/download/Age...

dog sat on his toy while he was playing with it… a nightmare

this mansion in Whittier is doing it. congrats to them

I counted the trees, section by section. There's only 11 (maybe 10?) fewer trees in the Orange Design compared to the Shared Path Design. & that's if they do not take any efforts to move/replant trees! @bikemn.bsky.social @ourstreetsmn.org @movemnaction.bsky.social docs.google.com/presentation...

Me commanding my subjects to look on my works and despair: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me with my shattered visage lying half sunk in the sand: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Hello Lyndale Ave South community. Opponents of a safer design for Lyndale are generating a ton of emails (via action network), many from outside Minneapolis, to city council members in support of the no bike lane option. You may want to get busy contacting your council members.

I know people here hate to hand it to Matt Stoller, but

✅ “All of that future traffic will be crammed and jumbled into a narrow margin on Lyndale. Picture a Lime scooter carrying two people heading toward an oncoming e-bike, with a dog walker trapped between them, and you get the picture.”

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Harriet Tubman was born while John Adams was alive and died when Ronald Reagan was alive. Adams: 1735-1826 Tubman: 1822-1913 Reagan: 1911-2004 When Adams was born, Hydrogen had yet to be identified. When Ronald died, he could’ve been listening to Hoobastank.

Very brave stand made by Central America, the South, Caribbean, Columbia, and Peru, but I’m sorry, the combined power of southern Italy, Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Persia, all Indian, all Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Hmong, Philippines, Korean, and all Polynesia. fuggedaboudit!

wonder if the bluesky bubble is prepared for how to handle if and when it's confirmed the guy who shot kirk intended to do it Leftistly. his texts to his significant other are in the charging documents and he said he did it because "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out"

I would go over the top of the trenches at Verdun and charge through No Man's Land, nude, to get a seat at one of Samin Nosrat's casual weekly dinners

I am drawing a comic a day until i get busy or bored. today’s is inspired by @bornwithatail.bsky.social

Not to get too political but this is the only kind of thing people should be allowed to use social media for

I’m probably not following any of Wendell Berry’s advice very well, but I feel like he called it a quarter-century ago

Many have played the parlor game "What would the Beatles have made if they stayed together?" Easy answers are songs they made together and released post-breakup (like All Things Must Pass by George Harrison), but I like Coming Up from 1980. John said if Paul had shown up with this he'd have loved it

The economics of social media are structured such that if you can turn boredom into anger you get money. So retired boomers get turned into spasming rage machines, and every asshole who wants attention and refuses to get a real job has a path to wealth.

Anecdotally true for me. My very online BlueSky is mostly thoughtful discussion of how Kirk’s legacy of hatred and celebration of violence against his political opponents interacts with his murder, while my normie Insta is, to paint in very broad strokes, wine moms going “bye bitch, sucks to suck!”

if you’re an isolated, angsty, strange young man, please know that you can become a Kierkegaard scholar instead of joining fringe online communities

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Seems like the trail is completely cold—law enforcement will have to wait for tips from family who recognize the photo of their downward-spiraled relative (as I suspect happened to Mangione). The odds that a person could escape and never be recognized or just hide out forever are basically nil.

Photojournalist Bill Biggart died when the second tower collapsed on him on 9/11, but the film he shot that day and his flash card were recovered from the debris and developed, along with his flash card. You can see his amazing photos of 9/11, the last photos he took while alive, here:

Bad Bunny, one of the biggest musical artists in the world, said he avoided the US in his tour because he thought ICE would set up ouside his shows.

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”

same manufacturer btw

A great low-stakes rivalry has sprung up between these two cars, usually parked on the same block in Whittier

"Free will" is a hell of a drug

With records in solar, wind and storage popping up almost weekly, President Donald Trump may have lost his war on green energy before it even started

Alright, now that I'm seated on the train back to Chicago, a thread about some of the cool urbanism and biking features I noticed in Minneapolis 🧵 First - beautiful bus stops with arrival screens! I didn't take the bus, but these stations are 🔥

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

Do NOT make me have to learn how to do this

Sometimes Stan just gives and gives and gives

These days, the football game of what’s more and more. In order to champion — when its competition of the ballgame — America is the time for together. And that’s which of the fans. The fans of what it’s most of all. Let’s what it again: the fans of when it’s more.

at brunch and a kid asked me if I’m drinking coffee to cancel out the beer. yes I am

I woke up and saw the dog sleeping on the floor and not his bed so I’m like “what’s wrong big guy?” and I look over at his bed and see this

20+ years I just heard the lyric as “bya chamboche.” I like finding small ways to live in ignorance

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

First street-level infrastructure going in at the new Nicollet/old K-Mart site. Photo 1 is from today, and shows roughly the section diagramed in Photo 2. Photo 3 is the former view from the same spot

Seems like it might be time for three-car Green Line trains serving the University of Minnesota again.

DC conducted a half-price & free transit fare experiment for low-income residents. Compared to those paying full fare: —Half-price recipients took 2x the transit trips —Free pass recipients took 4x the trips Subsidized participants reported higher well-being. thelabprojects.dc.gov/fare-subsidy...
