The first thing I thought when I saw the news about DC declining Benteke's contract is "oh, for Doyle's sake we absolutely have to bring him here to Minnesota"

I don't underrate this. 🙁

We are about to get 4-8 inches of snow here in Minneapolis so it's time for winter tires. But there are still folks out there and we plow the bikeways.

This means being careful about embracing the idea that the internet allows us to warp reality to conform with our political preferences - even when it seems to benefit us. It may indeed win us an election! But it’ll literally burn down the world if we’re not careful.

The world will not snap back to normal after Democrats win an election. How do I know? Because they won in 2020 and the world only continued to go more floridly insane. We need to address the root cause of the insanity, which is the complete epistemological collapse we are living through.

Plenty of people bike during the winter! The best source for ice thickness in Minneapolis comes from a guy who fat tire bikes across the lakes with an auger once a week during his commute.

Minneapolis ranked 44th out of the 100 cities listed, so certainly nobody is comparing us to Utrecht yet.

But Bryant Avenue is a good example of what's changing; from sharrows to a world-class curb-level bikeway for two and a half miles. And we're delivering a couple similar projects every year.

Good example of how the City of Minneapolis is in alignment with our partners; Lowry is a Hennepin County project! The new shared use path, GSI, and road diet are a huge (huge, huge) improvement.

I like that the calumet illustration on the 'Great Peace' cover also looks like a hockey stick.

Genuinely was Rishi Sunak better than both his predecessor and successor?
