every time.

Do you live in the city of #AnnArbor?
Are you a US citizen?

We need you to vote today! If you're not registered, you can still stop by city hall and register! If you are registered, your local polling place has the library on the ballot!

It’s already started. Our district mandates kids get a certain number of hours or levels in the Lexia app they purchased up through middle school, whether it’s helping or not.

4. People don't appreciate how housing breaks the political spectrum. There really are a lot of left-NIMBYs — but also a lot of left-YIMBYs. The right similarly has both NIMBYs and YIMBYs.

Ann Arbor: get out there and vote yes today. If you’re not yet registered, you can register in person at City Hall at the Clerk’s Office and vote there.

People will be like "I would do anything for my kids!!!" right up until you suggest dropping the speed limit to 20mph.

this is to say, is there a non-bullshit ecological urbanism?

This right here. I am an expert in digital marketing snd learned that the dccc has an approved list of vendors if you want their funds. Ripe for abuse, so candidates can’t get the best help available.

The campaign results here are abysmal.

It’s a disgusting racket.

The U.S. is a massive net exporter of services and Trump is killing the only sector with a net export surplus. Education, travel for education, and housing to foreign students is also believed to be dramatically undercounted in foreign trade statistics. Personal travel for education alone: $55bn/yr

This is how you know Trump is from Queens

This margin is a good reminder that you can transform politics without throwing out all the shitty politicians first.

Elected officials respond to incentives. When incentives change, their behavior changes—for good and for bad.

4 men standing in a gaming store holding prize cards and one holding a champion mat featuring Jafar from the movie Aladdin.

In between poll greeting shifts I popped over to The Upkeep to play in a #DisneyLorcana set champs tournament and brought home the champion mat.

Now would be a good time for an alt Project 2050 that bundles this jigsaw together and gives a recovery administration a road map. Not sure who funds or leads that though

Great day for everyone whose 2024 brand move was claiming that Dems were exaggerating how bad Trump would be.

Call for Artists! The Ann Arbor Housing Commission has issued an RFQ for public artwork at the new Dunbar Tower. Selected artists will be commissioned to create original works for the building’s interior, exterior, & new community space. Deadline to submit is coming fast: August 31. #A2Council

What happens if Ann Arbor Props A and B for a new downtown library don’t pass? What are the implications for the Ann Arbor District Library if Props A and B don't pass? And could the Center of the City park still happen? Supporters and critics weigh in.

"Now today we can build a bigger, better library for children like me all those years ago, for parents like my mother," Sova said. "New inventory, an outdoor play area, a kids room, gathering space, performance venue, gallery, studio, cafe — for zero new tax dollars." #A2Council

Everyone is yelling at Ian about this but the article is good and this is a real problem! If you are a straight guy trying to get laid 99% of the advice you come across will be right wing-coded.

Since people are talking about the razor thin margins in the restaurant industry, I would like to remind everyone of my bête noir, which is parking minimums for bars and restaurants. Off street parking mandates for places that serve alcohol are basically a subsidy to drunk driving.

Ann Arbor Voters to render decision on Proposals A & B Voters in Ann Arbor will render a final decision on two ballot proposals on August 5th. Proposals A and B would approve the sale of city owned land for a new downtown library. Opponents say the city i...

I talked to WEMU about why I voted for Props A&B after voting for a "park" in 2018. I'm embarrassed to share that. But I want the many voters like me to know that we can vote for AADL to provide our public common space downtown (and so much more). #A2Council

Something I wish I would have said in the episode is that men need this advice far more than women! The vast majority of dating advice for men is how to trick women showing signs of disinterest into sex when it should be about not letting rejection turn you into a whiny little baby.

Boston has higher rents than Jersey City. Yet JC builds 4 times as many apartments per year despite being 1/3 the size. The Wu administration blames 'economic conditions' for the housing slowdown in Boston.

The true reason is policy, and JC should avoid Boston's failed housing policies.

the way that land use reform is getting attached to a larger libertarian project, remind me a little bit of the brief moment when the koch brothers were flirting with police abolition.

Also, we have an outdoor artisan market complete with awnings and parks department support a 10 minute walk away every Sunday at the Farmers Market!

I love this. It's like a reverse SimCity.

Most of the ones I’m missing are in Texas or the southwest. Not in a hurry to visit Texas without a good reason right now…
