reading this book rn. the shit forrester says about "utility cycling" is crazier than anything I've seen on twitter his "typical" cycle commute is 40 minutes and says enjoyment is higher on the street than urban bike paths, because ppl get more "physical condition" on the road
There had better be major changes made in these 30 days. The East Side deserves to not have lead, and particle emissions in the air me and my neighbors breathe! Give the land back to Wakan Tipi and @lowerphalen
A good example of placing a right-turn lane left of the bus lane with a dedicated RT signal phase. Buses use transit bar signal.
Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. x.com/hillaryclinton…

We are blessed to have a GM as good as Lesley. Also shout out to the G Line engagement staff who gave up their time on a weekend to ride with us and answer questions about this project. Can't wait for it to open in 2027/28!

It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

“With little fanfare,” Saint Paul just got a major upgrade to our Bicycle Plan. Why little fanfare? Because making a City where biking is safe and appealing for all ages is popular. Great work by Jimmy Shoemaker and the Public Works team! twincities.com/2024/04/24/st-…
Seeing the "Student Driver" on a lot of @MetroTransitMN buses...good sign! #busride
@MaplehoodUnited People are dunking on maple Grove for having a bunch of chain restaurants is like judging 12 year olds for liking pop music. For 3rd ring suburbanites, that’s a feature not a bug. Everything about that community is about cultivating a lifestyle of predictability.

If you just look at this you can make the argument for more school work, but stats like this downplay how many work full time jobs, especially low incomes students, and folks trying to go back to school to better themselves I wish I could afford to work 2.3 hours a day at school

Brightline West isn't perfect. I'd rather it not be privatized, but there are lessons to be learned of not letting perfect be the enemy of good. Cost per mile: Brightline West - $55 million (4-6 yrs to build 218 miles) California HSR - $246 million (15 yrs to build 171 miles)

That’s not an OD. That’s an expected response to opioids & sedatives. I need you fuckers to start learning what an overdose actually is before y’all go around Narcan-ing ppl who don’t need or want it 🙄
OD! Right Now! PPG Place Downtown Pgh! Sent by a concerned citizen! They called 911! It happens ALL DAY LONG! Why isn’t there a “Narcan Squad”…a “OD Team” ready 24/7? Why!
Me when someone in the giant zoom meeting says “turn on your cameras so we can see your wonderful faces”
Unusual commute for me today: Routes 22 + 3B to the Bureau of Mediation Services for a who knows how long day 😅
Believe it or not, @PioneerPress is hiring a municipal government/general assignment reporter, ASAP. Probably a mix of Ramsey County and suburban duties. NOT Minneapolis/west metro stuff. Job can be adjusted somewhat based on your skills and interests, but here's the scoop:
@BreeMinneapolis What kills me most is when people trot out "oh well it's just 'pretend' to keep them busy" or something like that as if they're doing the disabled a favor. I can guarantee you there's plenty of fully-abled adults who put in far less effort at their regular paying-jobs.
@RGermanix Also, that's wackadoo - piecework still has to get done, crap companies will just use slave labor to do it as long as they possibly can. Once they can't, it will still need doing.
@BreeMinneapolis Easter seals comes to mind. Someone has to stuff those envelopes
@RGermanix Yup, or rolling silverware, stocking shelves, making copies/scanning documents... repetitive and not the most exciting jobs, but all needed and necessary.
@BreeMinneapolis And all done with full wages before they decided we could turn disabled folks into slave-labor.
It will never cease to amaze me how many parents will fight tooth and nail to continue allowing their disabled kids to be paid subminimum wages.
Have we fixed the drought yet? Am I allowed to bellyache about the rain?
I would get a forklift cert tomorrow if I could do this full time
It's interesting watching how they deal with illegally parked cars elsewhere.
@D_Wads I hear stuff like this all the time and I’m always perplexed by a certain segment of the population just being fine living in unverified fear.
@leiftree That can’t possibly be a real story. I am just dumbfounded
Laura isn’t judging them, I will. Not allowing your kid to walk 4 blocks in your neighborhood even with a trusted adult, cause you’re afraid of strangers is flat out ridiculous.
My 5yo has a new friend at school & asked me to set up a play date. I was texting with the parent & when we got to logistics the parent asked if I could pick the kid up. They live 4 blocks (under .5 mile) away & I said we’d be happy to walk over. The parent shared 1/6
@RevTChristopher There are also a fair share of Democrats criticizing the prosecution of Londregan, showing their willingness to sign off on Black death at the hands of police for political expediency.
seriously, how many pep rallies have there been in Minnesota for an officer who killed an unarmed white person?
Credit to @daviss for the story and the photograph x.com/daviss/status/…
Accused murderer and Minnesota State Trooper Ryan Londregan arrived to court this morning to a thunderous applause from hundreds who seemed to have arrived in private buses/vans lining the street. He's accused of killing Ricky Cobb II during a Minneapolis traffic stop last July.
