Now I really don't want to sever your access to Kohl's. And we are part of an economic region. But I can assure you that there isn't a suburb or small town in existence that would allow us to completely trash their community for our own convenience the way Interstate 94 trashes ours.

The mobility trend that's sweeping the nation.

So long, Metro Transit Route 6; Hello, E Line, Metro Transit's new rapid bus line The E Line will be the agency’s third such line to open this year.

The Twin Cities' newest bus rapid transit line launches this weekend, with the E Line running between Southdale Center in Edina and the University of Minnesota.

It's the third BRT line Metro Transit has launched this year.

Sorry, “FIFA Peace Prize”?

This was across the road from my house. So many people showed up within minutes. ICE agents circled the block for 45 minutes after they’d been chased off, just to troll. There is no hell hot enough to roast those fuckers.

I think that both humor and journalism can be practiced ethically, or unethically. I think that the mix is especially dangerous, because humor _by design_ slips past our defenses. /12

Yeah I like waymo. Waymo public transit, bike lanes and benches!

Two facts:

-Accessibility and walkability are as strong as their weakest links.

-Uncleared sidewalks are a moral statement (even if it is just the curb cuts)

If grandma can't roll over the snow to catch the bus, it isn't good enough.

This huge win is thanks to DFLers and only DFLers. No Republicans voted for it and they spent the last two years trying to destroy it before it even started. 🫶🏼

My son introduced me to this BBC series from 1978 called Connections, about how interconnected events led to the development of technology and the making of the modern world. It’s absolutely delightful and if you’ve never seen it, you’re in for a treat

In case you missed that this is an update: The woman has died. #SOS wants more of this. I hope @mayorher.bsky.social understands that this is why the Summit Regional plan is a critical need. Not one death is acceptable. We know how to prevent these deaths and have the ability to do so. A choice.

This sure is a cluster.

The "Larry Summers complained to Jeffrey Epstein that MeToo went too far" and "Olivia Nuzzi committed crimes on behalf of the fascist she masturbated with while reporting on him" are the same story: American elites have no ideology other than "I should be untouchable." Society is run by empty husks

yeah man, tree people are the worst

When Schools Made Kids Care for ‘Egg Babies’ to Thwart Teen Pregnancies To curb teen pregnancies, schools in the ‘80s forced kids to care for another delicate dependent: an egg.

(someone's gonna justifiably ask "wtf???" so www.mentalfloss.com/culture/educ...)

like high school students carrying around eggs to learn a lesson about parenthood

just put a different group of kids' limbs in unnecessary casts each week

Same 3-a-month schedule in 2026?

Post from r/CuratedTumblr by u/netphilia: "Swedish TV accidentally puts subtitles from a kid's show over a political debate, and it's brilliant:" Then there is a photo of a suited white older Swedish politician holding up a newspaper and speaking, with the subtitle "I will build the best sand castle in the galaxy" Under this, user nerdeas comments "He's got my vote"

Too few candidates run on the important issues
