In Minnesota, we value the people who care for our veterans, even if DOGE doesn’t.

If Trump fired you, come work for the State of Minnesota and help take care of our vets.

It's a goal of mine to help make this the most famous, well-known and UNDERSTOOD quote about cities in history. Please share it as much as you can. #InducedDemand

I re-read Wheel of Time at least 3 times. Nothing else holds a candle to it imo.

Vehicle height compounds dangers of speed for pedestrians New pedestrian injury risk curves calculated by IIHS show that vehicles with taller front ends begin to cause serious injuries at lower speeds.

New studyΒ from IIHS shows that car bloat is dangerous even at low speeds:

If hit by a sedan goingΒ 27 mph, a pedestrian has a 60% chance of a moderate+ injury and 30% chance of a serious one.

If it's a pickup going 27 mph, those odds rise to 83% and 63%, respectively.

It's weird that Looking for Alaska is the second-most banned book in the U.S., and mostly challenged by evangelical Christians, because the novel is about Radical Hope and how forgiveness is available to all people at all times, which are Christian concepts I wrote about because I'm a Christian.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Citizens want to be part of planning but don’t like developments near them. Blue states can lead the way by getting rid of hearings for individual projects and just getting feedback during the long term planning.
