BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Remember this? This cost $950,000 and had to be thrown away because it kept showing footage of Baltimore, a city whose cops are so bad they made TWO SHOWS about it! It's 1.52 times the amount of money HourCar needs, and it was basically burned. Call your reps. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...startribune.comMinneapolis posted a police recruitment ad. But the ad showed another city.The commercial, part of the city’s $950K marketing campaign, has been reposted with a clip showing a south Minneapolis intersection. 1165
BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This gap is less than it cost the mayor to put a bounce house in the warehouse district for a summer. This is 1/33 the cost of MPS's surprise overtime. They renovated Target Center in part by making us, the citizens, pay $74 million via a sales tax. WE. HAVE. MONEY. We can spend it in better places 47040
BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Call your officials. Tag them on bluesky if they're active (hey @sorenwithward8.bsky.social ). Hourcar lets people who occasionally need a car use one without the huge investment actually owning a car involves. This is an actual, local, community service! The city could help maintain this. 0117
BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 08/10/2026FOLD THIS INTO METRO TRANSIT. We lost Nice Ride and are now beset with discarded ebikes on narrow sidewalks. Micro Transit is not city wide so we're stuck with the gig economy and out of state venture capital companies. We can have better options if we invest public infrastructure in them. 1198

Build a functional entertaining game, test the hell out of it, before committing to the wallpaper and vfx. Not here though. 010
BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 07/10/2026These prompt slop systems always emphasize how incredible your game will appear, immediately, without any work or thought. The first thing it tells you is what to buy, just a list of assets one click away. How is this fundamentally different from an asset flip? It's faster? 132

BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I still weep that when Blue Cross pulled out of Nice Ride, the city just let it die instead of folding it into Metro Transit. Imagine the city we could have if Metro Transit were invested not just in building bike infrastructure, but adding bikes to use that infrastructure. 070
BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I'm making a horror comic kind of about bats (but really about city infrastructure and public health), so I want to assure people: I love bats. Bats are amazing, cool, useful creatures that come in many varieties. They are ALL adorable, even the ones with scrunched up faces. Just don't touch them. 140

BΔTBΔRΔ @marteani.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Resist the urge the diagnose people. Especially strangers. It is genuinely off-putting to do/say/express something and then some dipshit throws in their search engine medical opinion. Sometimes people are just who they are, not everything is a symptom. 022
