I might have made myself Reviewer #2, but at least I did get the review in before the deadline???

I live in @reprheingans.bsky.social's district, but I've also supported @jasonmorganmi.bsky.social. Jason, why are you doing NIMBY FUD on road safety improvements? This is disappointing. And exhausting. I'm not your constituent, but we live in the same community. Do better, man. #a2council

The thing is, you would never catch me thinking about Tony, wondering where he could be, who he is with, what is he thinking, is he thinking of me, and whether he'll ever return someday.

Great reminder that the ongoing and intensifying American affordability crisis cannot be solved without major land-use changes (ending sprawl, accelerating infill development at scale) that enable people to ditch their cars and access cheaper/more sustainable mobility modes

I think part of the reason the right is so het up about Abdul El-Sayed is that he sounds so much like your average college-educated dude from Michigan (cadence, accent, mannerism). Compensatory freakouts about his name and religion are because he comes across as blessedly normal and they know it

Back when you could cross the border with nothing more than a driver's license, we would drive to Windsor, Ontario and drink in bars. I remember us stopping somewhere for gas in Windsor at a place that also sold fake IDs, and sure enough Natalie Emcard was among the IDs featured in a display.

Have been with my partner 25 years this fall. It all started because one time in college our house accidentally got a half-barrel keg instead of a quarter-barrel, so we invited my now partner and all his housemates over to our house to help us drink the too much beer we had found ourselves with.

Populism and conspiracism are not quite synonymous but they are inextricably linked. Yet liberals must become populist again.

Yousef Rabhi, candidate for #a2council mayor, alleges that the current mayor is only fixing the roads downtown because it's an election year. What in the actual fuck are you talking about, man? www.wemu.org/wemu-news/20...
Yousef Rabhi: I'd say it's deferred maintenance. You have a situation here where my understanding is that Taylor basically instructed his team at the city that this was the year that they were going to put a lot of shovels in the ground, put a lot of cones out. And unfortunately, it's an election. I mean, the timing is that it's an election year. He wanted to show that there's a lot investment happening, but why wasn't this investment happening before this time? Why wasn't investment happening in our community to fix our roads leading up to this moment? And the reality is, is I voted for the countywide roads millage, which supercharged the ability of our local communities. Ann Arbor gets a direct allocation from Washtenaw County to fix the roads. And so, we should be seeing a lot of these projects. We should have been seeing a lots of these projects in the pipeline already to repair the roads. But the other thing I want to say too is there is a problem that we have at the city, where a lot city dollars that should be going to City Hall to actually fix the roads and provide other services are being captured by other entities.

It's tempting think "we should democratize decisions about the city & give neighbors a voice in decisions." But I really think it's a bad idea to allow adjacent neighbors to have veto power over safety features (bike lanes, sidewalks, crosswalks) that benefit the larger community. #a2Council

Sometimes I worry that I’m not legible, and then a random nonbinary lesbian on the street checks me out so hard their eyes pop out of their skull. Happy pride?

Woke up thinking about how when asked a question about a time when he brought a coalition together, one candidate told a story about finding consensus through compromise. And the other candidate shouted out a story about being a swing vote. 🫤
