Is Launderrdale a typo or some sick burn on the city?

More details for those interested. 1pm meet, 1:30 ride, It says Washington Fair Oaks park but I suspect they mean Washburn Fair Oaks in Minneapolis.

If you are a cyclist in another community, do it in solidarity.

People are definitely setting up a barricade of trash cans and this couch, in the middle of the street where ICE is.

"That's my couch," said a woman standing nearby. "It's been on my porch for four years because it won't fit up the stairs. My neighbor will be pleased it's gone now."

'Sinister Minnesotans' T-Shirt Show your solidarity with the Sinister Minnesotans refusing to back down from the ICE agents currently polluting their great state with brutality, lawlessness, and an obvious dependence on testosteron...

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week.

Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities.

Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.

Obviously, that car has to park in a parking lot instead of just driving around the lake continuously.

I love how even in the AI slop the bikers and pedestrians look happy and are actively using the space.

Multiple people have been taken this morning already in Northeast and we donโ€™t have the same capacity on the streets that weโ€™ve had throughout the week. Please come out and help us today and bring a friend we need more people outside so we can protect our neighbors.

Did no one notice that the AI just recommended him a completely nonsense tire setup? What does having a "daily driver" set of tires mean when the alternative is All Weather? You gonna switch your tires whenever the forecast calls for rain? The entire point of All Weather tires is you leave them on!

I'm over the river from this in Northeast and I can still hear a barrage of explosions. Still can't believe there's a fascist government right in my backyard.

>Small town

>Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls is the most populated city in South Dakota.

Also amazing bait and switch listing a billion acts but putting one little asterisk that not all of these bands are playing at the same event.

Bringing state-of-the-art Gemini translation capabilities to Google Translate Weโ€™re bringing Geminiโ€™s state-of-the-art translation model to Google Translate for text, and more new features.

Well google is already testing exactly that so probably because nobody is going to try to compete against them in the translation space

Minneapolis people: If you support opening parkways to people on occasion - share your support by noon today by emailing OpenTime@minneapolisparks.org or attend this evening's park board meeting.

Thanks to @olsenforparks.bsky.social for helping support this measure.

Huge news today! That's right, at our Park Board meeting this Wednesday at 5pm I will introduce two resolutions. The first is to restart our Open Parkways work. The second would direct staff to reopen work on following the long range plan for the Uptown Mall Park!

I mean, HSA is not "slightly" tax advantaged. The only way it could be more tax advantaged is if the government was matching your contributions.

Taking this opportunity to share the minnesota local insulators union logo. I smile every time I look up if a local shop is on the list of signatory contractors.

Ah yes, the numerous retirees who buy an RV to park it in Minnesota in the wintertime! That's why they call them snowbirds, they love the snow!

Facebook post from the Highland Neighborhood Group, St. Paul. Name redacted.

"Hello Everyone, just giving a word of caution to make sure your vehicles are locked when youโ€™re warming them up this winter. My 2003 Ford Ranger, Rhonda, was stolen this morning at 8:15 from my home on Saint Paul Ave. Iโ€™m attaching the video to show you just how easy it was and a picture of my girl. My fault for leaving her unlocked and running but I thought she was fine for the 20 mins it took for me to shower!  Iโ€™m chalking her up as gone but if anyone sees my baby you can PM me."

There is something so deeply, deeply Minnesotan about these sorts of posts (which I see every winter). If you're from almost anywhere else and wondering if you're missing something: this person did in fact leave their car running, unlocked, keys in the ignition.

Had no idea this was already being built back there. Did you go through the 26th Ave overlook trail section? They were really dragging their feet opening that back up this fall.

Met Council recycles effort to expand Midtown Greenway A proposed expansion of Minneapolisโ€™ Midtown Greenway bike and pedestrian trail into the Merriam Park neighborhood of Saint Paul and the Prospect Park neighborhood of Minneapolis appears to be moving

Very happy to see this revisited, can't wait to see progress on expanding the Greenway. Building this expansion would greatly improved both the commuting and recreational capabilities of this area.
