"we strongly recommend taking transit" and "no bags allowed, if you bring any, you will be asked to return them to your vehicle" in the same event information email is so funny

Just like with ending homelessness, Frey is making the same promises as 8 years ago, after having done nearly nothing to fulfill them.

The government shutdown began January 20. Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable. In many cases, there’s no publicly available evidence that appropriated money is being spent at all.

bus lane enforcement rolling out this year in spots: have a cry, josh kraft. www.boston.com/news/transpo...

Fucking landlords.

The first driver I saw on my bike commute this morning drove through their stop sign looking at their phone, saw another pulling a left turn in front of me, eyes on the device the entire time. I'm sick of this framing, let's take care of the real problem.

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

DC’s streets are talking…

Former FBI Director James Comey to be indicted in Virginia federal court for taking Tylenol.

The NYC street tree data is great. Here are two pictures drawn with it. First, a clustering of tree species based on their profile similarity across neighborhoods. And then its dual, NYC neighborhoods clustered by similarity of their street tree profiles. kieranhealy.org/blog/archive...

A really great piece about the history of autism. “There are autisms, rather than just autism. The diversity in symptoms, the severity of symptoms and the range of biological contributors are simply too large to be reduced to one uniform disorder.”

same issue with what lessig called architecture. so many laws/principles/regulations are dependent on assumptions of limitations of the physical environment and those limits no longer hold

I wrote about one man's quest to not have to ride in pitch black darkness through South Minneapolis. Modern day Don Quixote here, except the windmills are lampposts stripped of copper. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

The Epstein-Trump friendship lasted considerably longer than the Confederacy.

The killer had zero connections to leftist groups and so they’ve dropped the story like a hot potato. But the damage is already done. The third of the country who have mushy authoritarian worship brains will believe he was a dyed in the wool leftist until they take their last breaths.

If my explanation was too many words for you, this is a good explanation of Ranked Choice Voting and why using all three rankings is a good idea. I’ll be ranking Omar, DeWayne, Jazz. Your order may vary, but you should rank all three.

my dog just ate a stink bug and i am here to tell that he did not enjoy the Flavor Blast

Good news, hopefully it continues for this project.

Looks like someone has a list of speakers canceled at UT by the admin. Any bets that it is a lot more people than ever canceled by "woke admin"

Meanwhile, at my alma mater

So in my spare time, I volunteer for a variety of bike and active transportation advocacy. And over the last two years, I’ve been supporting the 2025 USAC Gravel Nationals in La Crescent MN. It’s been wild to see behind the scenes just how much planning, politics and logistics goes into natl events.

shit ain’t over til it’s over

Last week, my husband Kareem showed up early on the first day of early voting to vote for me – and got to ask others why they were excited to rank me first on the very first day. Early voting is officially open, and I hope I can count on you to rank me – and to rank Jazz Hampton and Omar Fateh too!

This is insane, @mta.info. A white woman gets on a Metro-North, tells a Black man to sit differently, then complains to the conductor when he says no. That’s bad. But then the conductor CALLS THE COPS. On the MAN. For not changing how he was SITTING. That’s inexcusable, @mta.info.

In 1983, 90% of U.S. media was owned by 50 companies. By 2012, that number was 6. Today, it's just 5. Decades of media consolidation made it "a lot easier for authoritarian government to exercise control," consumer advocate Gigi Sohn says. Much more in my new piece: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

“Trix are so dangerous we won’t even give them to rabbits!”

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

The storied Playwrights Center reopened today, but not in Minneapolis. It has found a new home in St. Paul — see you there? www.twincities.com/2025/09/19/p... By @jaredography

Disney execs hastily assembling Andor S3 about a group of charismatic Coruscant businessmen who just keep their head down and work with the Empire until the Battle of Endor and then say they were actually against the Empire all along and everyone cheers

Oak Treehopper Mama Update! Here she is with entire brood. They're getting big! So, why is it nice to leave some leaves around? These kids will hibernate over winter as adult females in leaf litter. (Platycotis vittata) PA

One FIRE stat as an example: "Almost one-third of students (30%) have self-censored in class because they thought their words might be considered offensive to their peers." 100% of Americans have self-censored for fear of needlessly offending their boss, friend, etc. www.thefire.org/research-lea...

When it's chilly and rainy out there, we bring the sunshine in here. This beauty is inspired by the French 75, but what shall we call it? The Caribbean 75? I combined passionfruit puree, lemon juice, and vodka with ice, shook it up, strained into a coupe, and topped with prosecco. Magnifique!

In between knocking 1,000 doors, passing 2 unanimous ordinances, and connecting with residents, I took a day to visit the Renaissance Fair with friends. The vibes were magical with turkey legs, flowing gowns, and other treasures. I encourage folks to check it out!

Curtis Evans, of Evanston, carries a U.S. flag through gas deployed by federal officers as they clear protesters from the entrance of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Broadview on Sept. 19, 2025. Evans said he was a Marine during Ronald Reagan’s term.

Minneapolis deserves a mayor who will meet our climate and environmental crises with the urgency they require. That’s why I’m so thrilled to be endorsed by @sierraclubmn.bsky.social ! Together, we can build a city that reflects the care that our neighbors have for each other and the Earth.

We should start by pedestrianizing these commercial corridors just during the summer like Montreal and then slowly make them permanent
