I didn't know my sticker would be this relevant when I put it on my bike

Two adults and a 4yo. Cargo bikes are great (check out @mcbl.bike ) The 4yo fell asleep on the way back.

Not a good Catholic, don't think of myself as Catholic, but wtf is the archdiocese doing right now? They wrote a commentary and posted in the wall street journal and the below statement came out after Renee Good was murdered. "Both sides" is a wild position to take from the middle of all of this.

Statement from the archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis calling for immigration reform and for people to pray for Renee Good's family.

Cops already have a PR problem. Why aren't the brass working harder to change their shitty frat boy/tough guy culture? It doesn't help cops do good work showing up looking like they did today.

The walking and biking infrastructure is amazing. The mass transit is amazing. I'm currently riding a ferry out to where I'm working this week.

Just had a couple of people biking by thank us for having this flag hanging. I don't really think we are changing the world by showing our allyship, but if two people biking by my house feel more welcome in my community it was worth it.

I rode my bike yesterday, it was cold. Also, I came across people playing disc golf in the snow.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul govts better get their nose in MnDOTs business on "rethinking 94". Doesn't seem like they are rethinking anything. Both cities have standing policy against freeway expansion. sahanjournal.com/climate-envi... stpaul.legistar.com/LegislationD...

Text from Saint Paul city council resolution with highlighted portion stating categorically rejects any lane expansion within it's boundaries referring to the rethinking 94 infrastructure project currently underway at MnDOT.

This type of discussion isn't worth attempting. I tend to agree with Cooper here though. The social contract will never be consistently applied when it comes to contagions, just look at cars speeding or any other locally benign* behavior that results in widespread harm. *Mostly

How is this the first accomplishment they list

Bio text from a New York Times article on Minnesota Governor Tim Walz

The first accomplishment listed is that he deployed the national guard during the 2020 unrest from the murder of George Floyd.
