it's objectively really funny that the secret to the Police cutting hit songs was
1. Sting writes song
2. Stewart Copeland hates the song
3. Andy Summers points out that the lyrics and vocal melody aren't awful
4. Stewart and Andy re-arrange the song
5. Hit record

A ranking of the tracks of Tim if they were Logan Square bars written in the style of yelp reviews
A 20-something just told me the track titles on the back of my "Tim" shirt look like a list of ill-named bars in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago

On the one hand I’d force David Simon to make the season of The Wire that was focused on immigration he said he was toying with, but on the other hand if I’m a despotic president I’d just fix the immigration policy of the country making that notion moot.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

the 2007 in film project would be impossible (as would a lot of my general film consumption habits) without MNLink. MNlink rocks so hard y'all.
Not only that, but you can also search and check out books and videos from almost every library in the state, including the U, through MnLink. All you need is a library card and you can request that items get delivered to you through your local library. 3/4

I'm moving and I went to a UHaul shop to buy some boxes. I struck up a convo with the cashier who revealed that she has a PhD in applied econ, is a former prof, and is working there to help her parents. She lamented that she no longer has access to journals in her field. Here's what I told her: 1/4

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.
The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

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.

YouTuber in 2025 producing an unsolved mysteries video essay called “Why is this car from 1981 in a photo from 1955???”
There are four instances of the Delorean in Hill Valley on November 12, 1955.
1. The original one.
2. The one Old Biff hijacks from 2015.
3. The one Doc and Marty use to return to 1955 to retrieve the Almanac before Young Biff can create The Bad 1985.
4. The one that’s been in a cave since 1885.

The basic concept behind tabletop games is pretty simple. Players represent all the characters who are human. The GM, or game master, represents everyone who's a Muppet

*regina george voice* so you agree? we should heavily regulate the airline industry like we did in the 60s and 70s, thus forcing them to compete on service and thus making flying more of an occasion?
Trump's Transportation Secretary on how to improve air travel:
"People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly... We want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Dear @danielsuitor.com what are my legal options if I get struck by a driverless car?
Waymo, the driverless ride-hailing company, is bringing its fleet of autonomous electric vehicles to Minneapolis.
Ridesharing without a driver? It's coming to Minneapolis
Testing will begin Thursday morning. No date has been set to start offering rides to passengers.

my favorite descriptor of the Murphys has been "the best music for fighting a cop or being a cop" from @joshgondelman.bsky.social's list of the 10 most Boston Celebrities of all time
I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"
