Beautiful day in Saint Paul along the Mississippi River.

Sun is low in the blue sky and reflected across the Mississippi River. Trees and a railing in the foreground...trees across the river.

bridge spans the Mississippi River below blue skies and green trees. A person in a bike helmet and red jacket is in the foreground

Wife was having trouble remembering a politician’s and said “the one you said who likes the throw things”. So I ask “Klobuchar?” “Yeah, that’s the one!”

I am so, so tired of politicians attempting to pretend their opposition to bike infrastructure - especially in a case like this, where the NIMBY opponents are literally some of the wealthiest people with the most expensive homes in town - is some sort of brave stand for "equity." Bullshit, indeed.

This morning I turned on my phone only to find that it had changed my user name to Shirley, and when I tried to enter a simple Google query it came out as "Do you like gladiator movies?"

Then I realised it was in Airplane! mode.

Managed to go drug free for my second one because it was pretty small. I tried the same with number three but after a few hours and passing out at one point I figured it was time for meds

Still waiting for a more efficient explanation of everything than "Everyone got brain damage from Covid": the airline executives charging a $155 predatory premium for legroom, the guy deciding to customize his own flight experience, the chain of command aborting the whole flight—busted mind-traffic!

Kashmir Hill @kashhill.bsky.social · 18h

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

need a minneapolis mayoral candidate to ride the slow nicollet mall buses and talk about how we can improve their speed in ways the city hasn't tried yet. need a minneapolis mayoral candidate to ride transit in general and talk to transit riders!

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 19h

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Zohran sits on a bus talking to a rider sitting behind him.

Yeah, including Tulsa was an odd choice. It can be one of those frontier towns we can afford to lose to the south or the plains

America needs a new republic. It's time to call for a constitutional convention. One where every single Republican politician and judge is disenfranchised because they're either dead or in jail.

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 21h

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Let’s see if we can get a $2.00 per trip surcharge that would directly fund transit
