Good morning, i wrote about the St. Paul election issue of administrative citations, an extremely basic tool we need for growing the city of St. Paul. Vote yes. www.twincities.com/2025/10/19/w...

My 78-year-old dad rode a CaBi ebike to protest today.

Idk you but I loved you

never miss an opportunity to be heard.

Only you can prevent fascist liars!

Anoka County SWAT Team is at US Bank Stadium. 🤷‍♀️

How does living in a TOD affect the way people travel? #AffordableHousing makes a difference. We'll be getting started in about an hour with today's Transportation Seminar, featuring Nathan McNeil with a study sponsored by @oregonmetro.gov and Portland State! trec.pdx.edu/events/psu-t...

“Now Scientific American has updated and re-released what it calls the “classic graphic” that shows that a human on a bicycle—able to coast, or freewheel, without pedaling—remains the world’s most energy effecient traveler.” @carltonreid.com on the re-release of the iconic graph in @forbes.com.

Any dictionary can be a pocket dictionary with big enough pants.

Saint Paul / Twin Cities, I need a tiny bit of drone footage done at the funeral home of the exterior featuring the new road, our building, the new parking lot & re-done sign? Who do you know who we would be open to this small gig with availability before the snow falls?

Second to last Tuesday for free herbs at the St Anthony Park library! Basil, chives, flat parsley, thyme, rosemary, lavender- and marigolds.

Amazing Emergency Naked Ride. Here’s the moment thousands of riders rolled through the protests at the ICE facility and cheers erupted. 😮💯

SEND YOUR IDEAS! The small silver lining of an insane house fire is we essentially have to gut/rebuild the entire interior of our house. What details, large or small, are you glad you fixed or wish you could fix that we should consider once we actually get to the renovation/rebuild stage? REPLY!

Anyway, today is World Migratory Bird Day, so I invite you to spend a minute contemplating those extraordinary journeys, perhaps by looking at the European Migration Atlas. migrationatlas.org

CW: CSAM. Holy shit, this story! And check out the ending 2 paragraphs. Our law enforcement at work.

If you are in the metro this Sunday, please join us for a roll down Summit Ave. The adopted Regional Trail Plan is at risk because of the small wealthy group of homeowners who oppose this being a safer corridor. Meet at 1pm at the WWI Memorial.

Finding joy is part of the resistance (so is taking out your feelings in a non destructive way). Be part of it this Saturday at Oktoberfest as we kick off our reelection campaign and continue our efforts to build a more just, resilient, and thriving MN! tinyurl.com/jonesoktober...

Can y’all please be on the lookout for my bike? Last seen in Elliot Park. It is a black Biria bike with red pedals and stickers of local news orgs on the bottom tube. It also has a Brooks saddle and adapters for Wolf Tooth pogies on the handlebars.

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia …”

Wow, look at the decrease in shootings in the 4th Precinct.

While @bookshop.org is still doing discounts and free shipping, here’s our family’s favorite parenting book that we rarely see recommended. It’s *so good*

This is an important point. Everyone one of these people has been asked to leave their home, their family, and their job to work without pay bc of the shutdown. We're better off thinking of ways to make this backfire on Abbott than to treat them poorly.

Free shipping from @bookshop.org continues today. Plus they have Life After Cars for about $2 off, so preorder your copy!

Jeff, the owner of Yox Toys, dropped off the FIRST ever YOX Tops construction kits. Made in Minnesota! Only here at Mischief!

This is a very good piece about two very bad public performances.

For those playing “are we there yet?” at home, at @atrupar.com's PN I’ve got the recourse for the president’s explicit call for domestic military deployment. There probably won't be any accountability but there are options still on the table. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-mili...

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

I emptied my ostomy bag and pete hegseth fell out

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

Donald Trump is wishing everyone a happy national coffee day by increasing the price of coffee by over 20% with his chaotic tariffs.

One year there was an issue with the Chromebook licenses at our kid’s school, so the teachers had to start the school year NOT having the kids work on laptops, and—shocking, I know—the students learned a ton, said they preferred “hands on”/analog teaching, and asked for more laptop-free lessons.

BTW, I have a syllabus and curriculum for a high school elective in food and travel literature if anyone would like it.

I’ll never forget one year when my class was eating blackberries while we were studying Kinnell’s poem and one of my students discovered that blackberries have, as he put it, “a cob.”

NEW: I spoke to the owner of a solar grazing business in the US to find out why agrivoltaics is getting big over there. Plus, solar panels are increasingly coexisting with crops, too. atmos.earth/climate-solu...

1. The $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina, announced last week by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, delivers an enormous windfall to hedge fund billionaire Rob Citrone. Citrone has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Bessent.

Where is your favorite place to buy unique fashion accessories in the metro area? Thinking homemade/craft jewelry, bracelets, ties, bow ties, hairclips, maybe even bolo ties? Is there a store/location that has these? Ideally before Thursday. Exploring my options for an event next weekend.

Anyway, everyone annoying. Here is a puppy.

This is an interesting and encouraging piece in @51st.news by @samdelgado.bsky.social . There is a *lot* happening in DC. It is an engaged, improving place. Lots of problems, but lots of participation. (Some day we'll have equal Congressional rights. But for now, DC solidarity.)

Criticism about AI in schools mostly focuses on how it allows students to get away with something (by using OpenAI to write their essays). But shouldn't we be talking more about its detrimental effects on teaching and learning than on how it impedes our ability to evaluate students? is.gd/acOSmQ

THIS. This this this this this, a thousand times this.

So grateful to Saint Paul and even Minneapolis (😛) folks for their support!

It’s always cool when being silly and fixing things on the @mountvernontrail.org leads to being designated as a hero by a German bike trailer manufacturer.

In the US, even a “cheap” transit bus costs 2-3x more than in Asia or Europe -- and one agency may pay twice as much as another for nearly identical vehicles. In Bloomberg, I explored a ripe opportunity to improve transportation by applying Abundance-coded, supply-side reforms. 🧵

Took a nap. Ate a burrito. Talked to a guy who got hammered at Farm Aid and can’t remember anything that happened after Kenny Chesney. Says he lost his $75 poster when he got on the bus to go home and fell asleep. Makes me want to hear everybody’s Farm Aid Story.
