I am not in the habit of attending Planning Commission meetings, but I infer that they devote a significant amount of every meeting listening to grievances of delulu NIMBYs. Is this a requirement? By now, I'm sure they have heard it all. Can't they just get to work and finish their job? #a2council

Apparently all these European leaders got the message that Trump wants to be thanked.

Is today a holiday? #a2council

The two recent mailers from LGC are clearly a naked play to get "No" votes from the pause-the-plan crowd. I have to assume that most Ann Arbor voters are smart enough to know these are separate issues and not to fall for the spurious arguments of the LGC. #a2council

OMG! Another deranged mailer from the LGC. How much money do those people have for propaganda? Yet they could raise almost nothing to create a park. #a2council

The glossy mailpiece that arrived today from the Library Green Conservancy that conflates A/B with the CLUP is so disgusting. I am furious but don't know how to counteract their disinformation. The depravity of those people knows no bounds. Sorry, but I just had to rant. #a2council

Watched 3 different cars use the bike lane as a right turn lane from Scio Church onto Maple yesterday. CAN WE PLEASE GET BOLLARDS!? #a2council

I am having trouble understanding why City Council members think they should intervene at this time to appropriate many thousands of additional dollars to delay the work of the planning commission. Did the consulting firm request this? #a2council

Has Tulsi Gabbard resigned yet?

IRL, I don't think I know anyone as dishonest and mean-spirited as JD Vance. He knows what he is doing, and I don't understand how he can live with himself.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Ann Arbor” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/standupameri...

I was sitting on the front porch enjoying a beautiful day to do some reading when Weed Man pulled up and sprayed his stinky chemicals in the lawn across the street. Forced me inside. Yeah, I'm annoyed.

Why wasn't the president in that group chat of high-level officials? Apparently he was on his way to play golf. Has he just checked out of governing and is leaving that to others?

How to explain the Republican mind?

Yesterday Trump and Vance disrespected the USA in the Oval Office, and Republican leaders seem disinclined to do anything about it. Such cowards. What a sad time this is.

Today I am embarrassed for my country.

It's incredible that stupid Republican senators actually believed these liars apnews.com/article/trum...

@umichbball.bsky.social How is it possible to win a college basketball game while scoring less than 50 points? Does this happen a lot?

Is Scott Jennings still on @cnn.com? Please tell me when he's gone so I can watch again

Mitch McConnell used to be the most powerful man in the Senate and arguably at times the entire country. Now he can't get a single other Republican to go along with him in important votes. Or isn't he even trying? I have little sympathy for him, but it's still sad to see.

I don't know who was traded for Marc Fogel. I hope it was Tulsi Gabbard.

Seeing posts with "MAJOR BREAKING NEWS". When everything is Breaking News, we now have breaking news inflation. What's after major?

Palestinians Propose Taking Ownership of Mar-a-Lago

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I'm not gonna lie, I'm floored that a university would call off a Lunar New Year event open to everyone because it might be "DEI"

Only 3 Republican senators with even a shred of integrity. And I never thought I would be saying that about Mitch McConnell. SMH

Is shock & awe over? Is it safe out there yet?

Well, here we are. We've already survived four years of this jagoff being president, so let's hope we can survive four more.

Pete Hegseth is so manifestly unqualified to be Secretary of Defense, the discussion should end right there. It's appalling that a majority of elected senators seem ready to confirm him. How has it come to this?

According to the news, a certain person became a felon when he was sentenced yesterday. Why didn't he become a felon when the jury convicted him?

OK, I get the no jail time, but why not a fine or probation?

Happy Public Domain Day!

Has anyone asked Bob Dylan his opinion of the Bob Dylan movie?

To the very end, I will never understand how January 6th, 2021, wasn’t a dealbreaker.

Lovely, we share the road with sadists and psychopaths but at least we can hear them coming! #CarCult #RoadViolence #SafeStreets

May I mention that I have no confidence in Chuck Grassley?

A 9-3 team? Is that fair to the Wolverines?

from what professors tell me a lot of college kids need to learn this lesson www.theverge.com/2024/12/5/24...

This seems like a good summary of how the media is failing here.

The airport issue at #a2council tonight was interesting and somewhat perplexing. I didn't hear very convincing arguments for the no votes, and the proponents sounded much more coherent. Did Council turn down free money in favor of having A2 taxpayers pay later for safety improvements?

What 8-4 team will Michigan face in a bowl game?

I saw somewhere that Matt Gaetz has been selected as the next Attorney General. It's really crazy what people will make up

Just as I was pondering how to respond to my sadness, this article appeared. What do you think? My Manifesto for Despairing Democrats www.nytimes.com/2024/11/06/o...

Republicans would likely have won this race no matter what, with a larger margin of victory with a different candidate. They blew the chance to elect the first woman president (and probably a woman of color). Instead, they opted for a felon who already has a record of being quite a bad president.
