The Nazis used the term "Lying Press" (Lügenpresse) to discredit and censor all dissenting media, simultaneously targeting journalists, and seizing, and giving their political allies control of news outlets to crush any opposition.

Just mentioning that now for no reason at all.

This would have been REALLY NICE today.

Municipal sidewalk snow clearing in Minneapolis (and St Paul) NOW.
I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me.

Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

A bit more than TWO YEARS after release, the premier city-building game Cities: Skylines II finally has bikes. I am now allowing myself to play it.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Bike Parking Review: MN Orchestra

The treble clef bike racks are an A+ in my book. They fit perfectly with the location, there are a handful of them, and there are plenty of places on each rack to lock, making them usable with any bike.

This is the strategy ICE are following to meet their quotas. "Detain, deprive, deport" -- the "deprive" step is keeping folks in inhumane conditions to coerce them into signing a removal order. This is how they are bypassing due process.

Kansas City car-lite trip verdict: not bad. 🤔 Could definitely use a good train to the airport, though. It is Denver-level far away.

Love to see some of the massive car infrastructure being reclaimed for bikes (thinking of the Gilham bikeway here).

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."
