An appropriate time to remind everyone that Sam Kuffel still was right.

The Alan Parsons Project never, ever, ever gets old...

Any song.

Any album.

Full stop.

Is this a rouge latin mass church or one that has been granted under the new rules that were clarified a few years back by Francis?

Let's discuss the *actual* charges against Judge Hannah Dugan using the Complaint against her.
tl;dr - she sent the man in question into the public hallway where agents there to arrest him watched him walk by and did nothing. 1/

Everybody romanticizing about the heyday of American manufacturing needs to carefully listen to one (1) Bruce Springsteen song.

The Road Runner about to be horny

Look it’s a visual joke. Alt text will do nothing here.

In these uncertain times,
one thing never fails: watching cartoons where the Road Runner is very horny.

I mean let’s be real… I don’t think it happens for 25 years

So, I do like the idea of keeping it lower for at least part of the stretch around the park. The land bridges to me are also far more realistic than the full tunnel proposal they had initially.

Even though the intersections on the south aren't great, it does slow traffic down and create more logical flow. (Especially if the Stadium gets redone with a diverging diamond.)

On the north, right now it's safe & easy to walk/bike to the park from the west. Bringing all that traffic up stops that

Oh, I think the current freeway setup is abysmal. Like, it needs to be reimagined and redone/gone. Full stop.

I want to like "end middle" for the boulevard but as you said, the intersections are πŸ₯΄. It's why I think "end north" is best aligned with what I'd like to see.

Plus, I'll admit, I don't want to completely give up quick & easy access to 94. It's part of the reason I wanted to live here - easy access.

I would've done a lot different before 1962 when it opened if I could, but seeing as we are where we are, I have a hard time going that far back. I admit it.

I think ultimately it all boils down to raising it up and having more intersections or narrowing what exists but keeping a decent chunk lowered but with cross traffic & such to limit speeds where it can.

The elevation changes make doing a lot just very difficult.

So, to that point, I like the northern 1/2 of "North" better and the southern 1/2 of "South" better.

If I were benevolent decision maker, that's what I'd offer as my "preferred alternative."

I will admit, loss of 44th St for rail-fanning and to have an "easy out" from Brewer Games to go north is a bit sad, but I can't exactly say I'm surprised by it at all.

It's hard to tell from these renderings, but "End Freeway South" looks like it's decent too.

Maybe keeps a little more of the "expressway" feel than some folks are comfortable with, but I think it does a good job of connecting around for everyone.

Nah, this was always expected.

Kinser ran a stronger campaign than anyone in over 15 years for that spot.

Millennials are rightfully terrified of it. We saw the effects of the Great Recession directly and know stagflation is that much worse bc eveyone told us the GR β€œwasn’t that bad.”

This is a good starting thesis - focus on public administration - and has some good ideas but misses a lot of key points, and mixes up some stuff. Its a good provocation to get the conversation going. Some thoughts 🧡

Some of us know and have been preaching that gospel for years!

That it’s never really heard on terrestrial radio in regular anymore is a damn shame. It’s why I knew to buy β€œMaking Movies”!

Do I know if the Democrats' messaging will click? Not really. Does Chuck Schumer look silly at these rallies? You could say that.

But I remember covering the early Tea Party rallies in February 2009, when the CW was "look at this stupid shit, do Republicans actually want to associate w this?"

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.

And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.

It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.

Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

By advocating for zero-based budgeting in government, one immediately reveals oneself as a crank who knows nothing about the last five decades of public finance.
