Waymo privatized another public street:
Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco
Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.
The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

Internet advisory: Carol Becker continues to spam reddit with "biking peaked in 1980" under at least three usernames: MplsPokemon, MplsSpaniel, and MplsDoodleDoodle.

Congrats to the newly-elected board of @eastbankmpls.bsky.social, which represents far more residents than any other neighborhood org. After staying on board to help with the merger of neighborhood orgs, I’m grateful to these wonderful volunteers — the org is in (many) good hands!!

Approaching 3 hours since Katie was cuffed and taken by masked federal agents while peacefully protesting and filming today and our lawyers still can’t get anyone to tell us where they actually took her.
Fucking absurd.

Thought exercise:
You can choose any venue in the twin cities to see your favorite artist. The show will be sold out. Which venue do you pick?
(There’s a right answer, several acceptable answers, and many wrong answers)

i’m hoping that Big Squished Penny™ is rounding up as many as they can so they can preload pennies in the machines
(sure they could just use some sorta copper blank, but then you wouldn’t get to see abe’s stretched head on the back)

Has the bouldering community in the twin cities grown too large?
This is at the end of the private drive passing between the Mill and Main buildings. They must have been going pretty fast to hop it up onto the boulder.

Counterintuitive: the DFL is run by people who have no idea what it's like to live in an urban area.
Turned away from the MN DFL event due to a bag policy that didn’t appear anywhere in the invitation.
The suggestion was to put my bag in my car. I took the bus
I’m curious how many people were turned away due to other bags (bike bags, groceries, diaper bags) and didn’t have storage options

Wow. Can't say much else. The overhead corona was unbelievable. The most intense reds and greens. ❤️💚😍💃 She'll be dancing until sunrise.
I visited Franconia Sculpture Park over summer and it has been on my aurora photo bucket list ever since. That's where I went last night.

Does anyone know if or what MPS is planning to do with the free breakfasts and lunches if MFT strikes next week?
With SNAP frozen, it’s going to be a double-hit for so many families if the free school meals disappear.
Will every MPS have the meals available? Anyone know?

I'd like to announce my candidacy for Ward 3 of the Night Council
As someone with a delayed sleep phase, who attends 60+ concerts a year, & spends most other nights biking around downtown and SE for fun, I think I'm well qualified and ready to step into the roll day one

This is a great point. Also look, the kangaroos think we’re pathetic. I hate that for us!
If I were running in next year's midterms, I'd be saying: Aussies are getting free electricity, and we're getting huge price spikes.
Because they built solar, and Trump is blocking it.

Free Electricity. Like, at no cost. For everyone. Now.
Let's talk about affordability, abundance, and Australia--and why thanks to Trump we can't have nice things
