Absolutely. And if your answer is some version of "it's a bad process if there is a group of NIMBYs who don't like the outcome" then you're saying you will give entitled NIMBY assholes a veto on any progress the City might try to make.

Bingo. When I ride Summit back and forth to downtown, it’s not lost on me that most of the yards with Kaohly Her signs also sport the Save Old Sewers signs. I hear the word equity being used, but it’s clear who is being served here.

It’s a tactic, when one doesn’t wish to state their true opposition to a project, to criticize the « process ».

I will not be ranking Kaohly Her for mayor of Saint Paul.

Asked about the Summit Ave regional trail, she said a bunch of critical nonsense capped by “I will look at the project and reevaluate it.”

I agree with Adam Dullinger: that was such a bullshit answer.

In May I quit my job with a 30+ minute drive.

I took a pay cut to bike 5 minutes to and from work daily.

Since May I've lost nearly 20lbs, I never WFH, I work longer hours and I am getting at least an hour back for my life every day.

I've also probably saved $1000 on gas by now.

Occasionally I get asked to be on some sort of work-life balance panel which I hate but will reluctantly drag myself to just so I can say my one and only tip: Live somewhere where you have a short, non-car commute to work. You’re welcome.

My best tip in life is if you can, move as close as possible to a grocery store you like that you can then walk to. Makes so many other aspects better too!

Laura G Mitchell @lauragmitchell.com · 1d

Walkable cities are perfect for busy people/families.

I had a 45 min break between work calls & wanted to fit in a quick walk.

My wife pointed out we still needed a grocery item for dinner.

I walked 10 mins to the co op and took the long way home.

And I got to pet a cute dog on the walk home!

if you're willing to sacrifice some groups for your personal safety, i'm going to assume you'll sacrifice anyone. Either we all get humanity and rights or none of us will. Because nobody is voting for another centrist Dem trying to move the party right. that shit is over.

Had to be done.

Screenshot of a results page from the website « relatedwords » from a search of the word « Deez »:

Below is a list of deez words - that is, words related to deez. The top 4 are: nuts, ay, chee and dee. You can get the definition(s) of a word in the list below by tapping the question-mark icon next to it. The words at the top of the list are the ones most associated with deez, and as you go down the relatedness becomes more slight. By default, the words are sorted by relevance/relatedness, but you can also get the most common deez terms by using the menu below, and there's also the option to sort the words alphabetically so you can get deez words starting with a particular letter. You can also filter the word list so it only shows words that are also related to another word of your choosing. So for example, you could enter "nuts" and click "filter", and it'd give you words that are related to deez and nuts.

I will 100% support any politician who takes transit, bikes, or walks regularly to get around. Be out in community! Don’t just drive through it.

Science Magazine @science.org · 5h

For behavioral scientists struggling to recruit enough subjects for their studies, #AI offers a tantalizing solution: artificial “participants” that can stand in for real people.

But a new preprint calls for caution before researchers make the leap. https://scim.ag/42myIdg

AI-generated ‘participants’ can lead social science experiments astray, study finds

Data produced by “silicon samples” depends on researchers’ exact choice of models, prompts, and settings

The 2023-24 regional sales-tax and concomitant reductions in county responsibilities for funding regional transit put *lots* of new transportation funding in county coffers specified for transit and « active Transportation » projects. Expect more such skirmishes over the next decade.

There’s plenty of city/county conflict in the core. In Hennepin consider battles about Hennepin Ave bus lanes; in Ramsey consider One Battle After Another about transit on W 7th.
