I (not so secretly) love going to the polls on actual Election Day. It’s so special to go into a building you may never visit otherwise, interact in a non commercial way with people in your community, all without the pressure of small talk or networking! Let’s do more of this.

Even if I didn’t have any of the knowledge that I do from working at City Hall, I couldn’t support the Mayor because he is supporting candidates like Brian Strahan and Becka Thompson. They are people who have repeatedly lied about residing in their Wards.

I have experienced this many times. Need help with traffic calming on a road shared with the County? Silence. Adopting for a community-lead redevelopment of the Roof Depot? No reply.

So for those of us who try to help people on a daily basis, this makes our jobs so hard because you have a culture being driven from the top to not take action and to not work with Council Members who are the ones most directly connected to actual city residents.

It’s this simple. Do you think MPLS is doing well? Frey has had complete control. Current state of the city is on his shoulders. If we re-elect him, we cannot expect ANYTHING to change.

Liam Davis Temple @liam2manynames.bsky.social · 1d

Jacob Frey has been Mayor for 8 years, and has had complete power and control over the City for the last 4 years. All City departments other than the legislative department report to him and he’s in charge of implementation of all policies and budgets.

I got a pair, they’re impressive for their price. I really appreciate the physical controls, the bass slider (lol), and how freakin lightweight they are.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

Grid scale batteries are changing our electricity system. Excellent new visual story on batteries in FT today shows just how far this technology has evolved.

Fasten your seatbelts, this is just the beginning.

I purposely bought two kitchen appliances with this methodology!

IKEA has a basic, barebones microwave. No screen. Just a knob to control a timer.

Zojirushi has a coffee maker with one button: on/off.

Please share the location of this magical donut you speak of. The ones I procured for myself yesterday were subpar at best.
