As the founding executive director of HOURCAR, let me say that it is imperative someone steps forward to rescue car sharing AND bike sharing in the Twin Cities. HOURCAR, Evie and Nice Ride--all community-led nonprofits--were beautiful systems that allowed so many of us to live nearly car free.

Contemporary artificial intelligence is to cognition as artificial sweeteners are to good nutrition: full of misleading hype, distracting, and when misunderstood and misused, dangerous to one's well-being.

If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

As a child and young adult I always loved sailing on Lake Ontario. The communities that have a shoreline on this beautiful body of water are some that I will always want to return to. Maybe some day I will get to sail across it - sending good wishes to everyone there now.

Lake Ontario's name comes from the Wyandot word Ontarí'io, which is typically translated as "beautiful lake". The Kanienʼkéha called it Katarokwi. Samuel de Champlain called it Lac de St. Louis. The name Lacus Ontario was first recorded in 1660 by Francis Creuxius.

What a lovely day to be outside. Got caught in the rain twice while on two wheels. Paddled a bit on the Minnehaha creek and Hiawatha Lake. I hope everyone had fun at the porch fest and tonight listening to Big Thief play.
Photo from the back of a canoe floating serenely down the calm waters of the Minnehaha creek. The sky is medium blue and white cloud cover is scattered. The trees are very green as is the foliage along the bank of the creek. There is a second paddle in a bag visible at the front of the canoe.

It’s amazing outside. I hope you all can catch this epic 🌈 rainbow.
Full rainbow horizon to horizon (well left side obscured by low trees and a building). Full spectrum visible and moody gray clouds with a well lit foreground of white painted grain elevator and brick warehouse buildings. Rail tracks empty of any trains visible in the foreground. Close up of the rainbow landing behind a white grain elevator and silo. The sky is gray and overcast but bright sunlight is hitting the buildings in contrast to the rain and clouds in the distance.

The sky is absolutely cloudless and vivid blue. The grass and trees are green, the pedestrian bridge connecting to Loring Park is royal blue and bright yellow with the red cherry sculpture piece with a fountain emerging from the stem is wet and glossy and bright in the center of the frame.

Proud of the community here in #Minneapolis and Minnesota. Good morning to all in this sky line.
Pre-dawn glow on June 1 in Minneapolis looking over the Mississippi River. Red js the color today with pink, gray, purplish blue and very deep greens of the grass and trees lit from behind in silhouette against the bright red glow reflecting from the clouds at the horizon.  Moderately cloudy morning with some low clouds showing pink reflection of the still below the horizon sun and gray shadows.

Portrait photo of the Mississippi River before dawn. The river is very tranquil with smooth long ripples and very little breeze showing on the surface. Orange is the total vibe here. Orange above the horizon, trees and the minneapolis light house are dark in silhouette. The top of the sky is light gray and the river water reflects from bright orange to very deep gray.
