This the American Way: Deliberately make transit confusing and difficult to use, then the powers that be can say “see, people don’t take transit.” Minneapolis is playing this exact game with the Nicollet Mall, so it can become a permanent corporate events space tailored to suburban tastes.

We have our answer on what actually happened with the woman and the dog and the bat in Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/bat-rabies-m...

A bat found in downtown Minneapolis last week tested positive for rabies - and on Monday, health officials said they identified the woman who may have handled it.
The Minnesota Department of Health had posted public notices seeking her so she could get a rabies assessment.
The woman was walking her dog around noon on Sept. 15 and noticed a bat on the sidewalk on Hennepin Avenue between N. Washington Avenue and N. 3rd Street. According to the Health Department, she picked up the bat with a plastic bag and gave it to a passing couple who offered to take the bat to a wildlife rehabilitation center in Roseville.
The bat died shortly after arriving at the rehab facility, and its rabies test came back positive on Friday.

I remember exploring in the early days of Google maps, looking at Venice and then Trieste and then being fascinated by the tiny Slovenian coastline…planning a trip in my head…thinking about hiking trails and busses and B&Bs…anyway, however many years later this is, here I am

Ian noted that Bluesky is disproportionately Minnesotan (which explains a LOT) so as a service to my non-Minnesotan followers, I'll just note by way of explanation that today is the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair.

THREAD: Trump admin claims in a SCOTUS filing that under US Postal Service's final rule responding to Trump's order to limit mail voting for the midterms, USPS "will not refuse to transmit ballots from individuals who were not included on a state-submitted list." But that leaves out key context...

Screen grab of the Trump administration's Aug. 24 filing with the Supreme Court, highlighting a line that says: "...the Postal Service will not refuse to transmit ballots from individuals who were not included on a state-submitted list..."

Hi fun fact: did you know there is a standard API for "public transit data feeds", including things like "how delayed do we expect this bus to be when it arrives at a given stop" Did you know that metro transit has it available as a public API :) svc.metrotransit.org

Tonight’s MBAA presenter was a 71-year-old woman who’s still actively brewing in Minnesota. She’s been brewing for 45 years. She was previously the international director of quality for Guinness. Her husband invented Coors Light. Like, you can just walk into a Pine Island brewery and meet her.

Technical Presentation
Our technical presentation will be provided by Ann Fahy-Gust, who will be speaking from her experience on Post-Packaging Quality Assurance, from Local to Global Breweries
Ann Fahy-Gust started her career as a lab technician with Coors, working her way up to brewer before moving to Guinness to become their International Director of Quality, followed by being asked to run the largest UK brewery at the time, Scottish Courage. She returned to the United States to do brewery consulting and teaching at the Siebel Institute, of which she is also a graduate. She is now one of the co-owners and brewmaster of South by SouthEast Minnesota Brewing Company in Pine Island, MN, and is responsible for their beer recipe formulation and creation, brewing, quality control, taproom management, and distribution coordination. She is one of the first and longest-active female Master Brewers in the world.

NEW: Earth’s oceans were warmer than any day in recorded history Friday due to a combination of long-term human-caused global warming and short-term effects of El Niño. The record ocean heat is threatening marine life and will have cascading effects on global weather throughout the coming months.

Earth’s oceans just broke a heat record. The implications will be massive

Human-caused global warming and a strong El Niño are adding excess heat to the oceans, threatening marine life and providing storms with more energy and moisture.

They're trying to get Hollywood to do to Rufallo what they got Colombia to do to its own students and faculty. Hollywood has fallen for this shit before, when the billionaires weren't even as rich or omnipotent as now. This is when creatives have to remember the Golden Rule: Fuck you. Make me.

Minnesota has one of the best food safety systems in the country. From what I've heard from experts, the MN Department of Health is legendary in how fast they track this stuff down. Which is to say, there's gotta be a *lot* out there for 20 cases to crop up before they nailed down the source.
