Man, when you compare the bravery of every day Minnesotans to the overpaid cops it’s astounding

There was a goose on the field at Wrigley, they played on

I sometimes have “I wish I was good at anything else” days.

Hope tomorrow is better.

It's gotten better as they get mature, but "same problems with fewer resources" was how we talked about traveling with our kids when they were younger

Picture of street filled with people when cars are prohibited, with a prominent sign saying “road closed.” Via Urban Truth Collecrive (Also, it’s a street, not a road)

How come they keep spelling “open” wrong?

Does that street look closed to you? Only if you’re a car… and presumably that’s the real problem. #UrbanTruth

At the dentist this morning and there’s a tattoo parlor two doors down.

You’re already prone for an hour or so… there’s a crossover opportunity here. An inking and a brushing, tattoist on one side, hygienist on the other.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

If this were an ebike, the community would be really upset.

The English word "shark" was two different meanings: a predatory cartilaginous fish and a predatory scoundrel. We sometimes understand the predatory scoundrel to be by metaphor from the predatory fish, but evidence suggests these two meanings have entirely separate origins—German … and Maya??

Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

I think a lot about how we could just close like 20-30% of Minneapolis residential streets to cars, or make them annoying to drive on (e.g. much narrower) and it would barely impact commute times/convenience for most people while significantly improving their quality of life

NYTimes story on robot winning a half-marathon: “While the approximately 5-foot-5 Lightning crashed into a barricade and fell during its final stretch, it was able to pick itself back up with help from humans, swing its short forearms to rebalance, and stride across the finish line in 50 minutes, 26 seconds, according to the state-run China Daily.”

That’s not “picking itself back up,” New York Times

I’ve now cut 1/4 of the flooring of the undersink cabinet out.

The rat is back in its cage.

When my spouse and kids suggested getting pet rats against my wishes I agreed, on one condition: I’m not going to be involved at all.

Anyway, I just got done drilling seven holes in a bathroom cabinet after a rat went through a gap none of them noticed and refused to come out from underneath.

The New Twin Fossil Shock | Ember How the energy crises of the 2020s speed up the electric age

Trust your common sense: yes, a series of massive fossil fuel supply shocks is, in fact, going to radically accelerate the process of electrification & decarbonization.

I’ve been talked in to joining a panel on bikepacking at MinneBar this year. Should be fun!

I’m not sure to make this more clear to everyone.

Bicycles are important to our survival.

Look at the dinosaurs, they didn’t have any and look how they turned out.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

NASA and Mamdani are proving that Americans are desperate to see their money spent in ways they feel good about.

This, however, is not the same thing as simply spending the money on things we would feel good about but never know happened. People need to be able to see it.

Let's all use this occasion to take a look at the many ways Tennessee Republicans have shown how much they value and respect the Traditional Nuclear Family™
