I wanted to show off our regular route to school. I don’t feel like the protected bike lane is separated enough for my son to safely ride it but last winter the snow banks made it *just right* for a day. I’m hoping Milwaukee is able to create bike lanes that are safe for him year-round!

I forgot Fiserv Box office hours are minimal, so maybe the building is entirely closed today

AmFam is definitely open on the grounds, restaurant, and the shop. I assume but don’t know that that stadium itself will have parts gated off, but when I’ve showed up on non-game days it felt fairly open on the ground floor.

Fiserv I assume is locked down except for the box office

I don’t want to jinx anything, but if the brewers were to sweep the post season after ending the regular season with their win against the reds, I think that would put them at 12 wins a row and we could all celebrate the WS win at Webb’s

I’m just a guy who bought a couple shirts and stickers years ago 😂

Actually that’s only half true, when @brooklynspoke.bsky.social came to Milwaukee ages ago I did end up on the podcast for 10 seconds!

Hello friends,
We're less than one month away from the release of our new book, Life After Cars:
Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile. And we want to start by saying: thank you.
Whether you've supported us on Patreon or picked something up from our store. you ve already helped build this project. To show our gratitude, we're sending you a limited-edition "Life After Cars" sticker. Think of it as both a thank-you and a conversation starter. Something for your bike, water bottle, laptop. or street sign to to spark curiosity and spread the message.
We wrote Life After Cars because we wanted to go deeper than we ever could on the podcast-with fresh stories, bold ideas, and practical tools for rethinking the way our communities move, connect, and thrive.
If you're planning to read it, the best way to support the work right now is to preorder your copy. Early orders make a big difference in helping the book reach more readers and in amplifying this message beyond our usual circles.
Together, we can make the case for change-not someday, but right now.
With gratitude and in solidarity for imagining a life after cars,
Doug & Sarah
P.S. We'll be out on the road this fall-check lifeaftercars.com for cities and dates. We'd love to see you in person.

sounds like they want a pumpkin latte?

The house I grew up in had not-quite-shag length carpet in a terrible green color. My parents pulled most of it out as soon as we moved in, but kept it on the stairs that led down to my bedroom. Maybe that all left an impression

It’s no marble backsplash column but I think it would go a long way

The worst part is that I’ve done the dining room / living room swap before and it made for a great eating area and a terrible “room with couches and TV”.

Maybe it’ll work out this time!

Nicholas Sideras ☃️ @nicholas.sideras.net · 4d

Continuing to try to figure out the entire layout of my goofy house and I keep coming back to the conclusion that the couches need to go in the dining room, the table needs to go in the living room, and that this would all be easier if I cut a hole in the floor to make a conversation pit.

A printed floor plan of my living room overlaid with a grid of squares. Cut out pieces of paper with icons for couches, chairs, desk, drawers, etc, are laid out on the grid. In the background is another sheet of paper with another room and grid.

This is bad.

Not because any of these routes were essential to the system, but because it portends a dramatic shrinking of the system that will eventually make individual routes less valuable, reduce ridership and trigger future cuts.

It is the start of a death spiral.

still summery over here 🍔

Two slushies in clear cups sitting on a red table outside. The left slushie is a light red and has the word “Bubblegum” written on the cup, while the right slushie is a dark red and has the phrase “Rasp Lime” written on the cup.

In between the cups is a small white paper bag, with a green stamp on the front that says “Fred’s” with icons of a burger, ice cream, and fries underneath.

Fred’s is a burger and custard stand in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
