Minneapolis dude who is now fucking up a suburb*

Builder of catyards, anti-lawn zealot, restorer of native habitats, bad bike mechanic, worse firewall engineer.



*killing hostas, planting pollinator magnets, and biking instead of driving.
Birders keep looking for tufted titmice in my yard with binoculars and it is unsettling.

Might turn the tables and stand out there in my bathrobe and shout "YALL LOOKING FOR TITTIES?"

My cat Freya,who usually hides when guests come over, came out to yell at me in front of my mom and I've never felt like such a terrible catfather

I had surgery on my wrist and cant scroll well and sometimes I fuck up and swipe over to the discover tab and see that pic of Erika Kirk dressed like Urkel going to a shitty casino and it feels like an ADA violation

I've lived in this house for a year and a half and just now found another light switch. I have no idea what it controls.

Hell yeah. This (eventually) opens up great bikepacking options for those uncomfortable riding on narrow shoulders.
Unlike roads where funding is fairly straightforward - Quality bike/pedestrian infrastructure is often the work of decades of dedicated advocacy.

Congratulations to all of the folks who championed this through! We hope you are celebrating your success and look forward to riding it soon!

Not the point of the article, but Rekeya Frazier's sister filmed George Floyd's murder. Her uncle was killed by MPD during a police pursuit. While ICE was trying to disappear her partner she still had the courage to go to the police for help and thats pretty fucking brave.

Found out im on the list to have my remote work status changed and forced to go into the office in Mpls even though my team is remote in Boston or Richmond, so I'll still be remote to them working on remote devices across the country.

Having wrist surgery on Thursday and will be off my outside bikes for 6 weeks and the thing I'm most worried about is the possibility of missing out on a new low temp record. This winter has had some great weather so far.

There's 0 reason to cut off a ring. If it doesn't come off with lotion then no one else in custody could steal it. If you're worried about a small 50+ year old punching you with it, then you're a little bitch and should stay the fuck home.
Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.
