Does it have a valid U card?

North side public meeting is today! The city is terrible about promoting these so very few people show up. I guarantee if you come and speak your mind CLIC will refer to your comment as we build the proposed capital budget lims.minneapolismn.gov/Board/Agenda...

Other interesting capital projects that CLIC is evaluating:
- George Floyd Square street reconstruction (PV177)
- "Downtown Transit Improvements" aka Frey's move the buses off Nicollet mall vanity project (PV189)
- Democracy center (former 3rd precinct) - PSD32

This is the first time we're seeing new traffic calming program, which would put $500k/year of bond proceeds toward neighborhood installations like traffic circles and speed humps. We'd get an extra $200k starter grant from MNDOT. city-minneapolis-mn-cleardoc.cleargov.com/22841/213873...

Tomorrow is the first of three public listening sessions on Mpls's annual Capital Improvement Plan. Thursday 6-8PM at North Commons.

Come yap at us about MPD's cop city (PSD23) or anything else in the $370M of budget requests city-minneapolis-mn-cleardoc.cleargov.com/22841/881384/d

Working in fintech in the 2010s I was often on open outcry floors doing support for traders. Society has paid a price for making those meatheads learn to use computers

Oh I am haha

Back in the saddle for the first regular CLIC meeting of the year, getting a full day of presentations from city staff on capital project proposals. Yay infrastructure!

The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

We should play a football game across Minneapolis

One of the guests at the seder I led said it was both chaotic and efficient, which was exactly what we were going for

I dunno, I kinda respect that the definition of a species is mostly "can these two lifeforms viably fuck?"

Barricade blocking a Minneapolis side street, decorated in a MN flag motif. A giant No Kings banner hangs below the barricade, and a hand painted "local traffic only" sign is mounted above

People at a block party, standing by a fire pit, eating hot dogs, etc

Instead of going to the St. Paul No Kings rally, I helped organize a block party right off the B line so people could make signs and hang with neighbors before the main event

Dark bar interior with a TV showing the Dr Strangelove illustrated artwork and DVD menu options. The TV is surrounded by two large humanoid sculptures mounted on the wall

Like if there was a bar in town that showed the Dr. Strangelove DVD menu through six straight Nine Inch Nails songs played on the jukebox I might just become an alcoholic to hang out there all the time

I just meant they're not a bar but are the most authentically punk place I know of in town

Yeah that tracks. Hard Times is great and there were probably places that closed before I moved to mpls but I just walked in here and it brought back memories of similar Chicago spots I knew

Am I just drunk or does the twin cities not have a punk bar on the level of Yesterdays in La Crosse, WI?

Lol nope, that's why it's coming up now

They are already trying to buy an industrial property in terrible condition in W11

If you're comfortable sharing, do you know the circumstances of him leaving his U Chicago position in 2008? I haven't seen details in reporting but was curious if he was denied tenure

A sticker with a hand drawn color illustration of a turkey, with "whose streets?" written around it. A small folded zine "What do you call this turkey? Specifically, the lone male turkey patrolling near Minnehaha Avenue and 38th Street. I'm sure your local turkey is cool too, but excuse us while we focus on ours" with a photo of said turkey

One of the page spreads of the zine with photos of it around the neighborhood and its supposed names: "Turkey Lurkey? Lonesome Tom? King Herod?"

Grieving that we once had such an abundance of rolling stock that we would do this with 40 year old locomotives just for show 😭

It’s been a wild morning outside of City Hall – we had two HSI vehicles illegally parked on Minneapolis police parking right next to City Hall. The tow was called and had started being put on the car when the HSI agents arrived in shame, and were booed out by the several people, staff, & CMs.
