Comparing delivery workers vs recreational cyclists obscures the fact that car drivers are the biggest safety threat on our streets.

Worth noting that among those participating in ICE/DHS watch in Minneapolis today β€” who Emmer appears to frame as β€œchaos agents” here β€” are literally hundreds of clergy.

If it weren’t for the videos at the end, I would’ve assumed this whole thing was a gag. A bit too on-the-nose metaphor for our current times.

That’s pretty close to a description of Cory Doctorow’s Martin Hench novels.

Still haven’t seen any reporting confirming that Homan got to keep the money. what was the FBI strategy here anyway? Give him the quid, arrest him if he does the quo, and if not - he just keeps the dough?

I would really like one of these stories to clarify whether he got to keep the $50k…

No shade to Minnesota but whenever folks celebrate their school lunch program, I want to point out that NYC was already doing it at a larger scale. πŸ—½

I would think there are zip codes in the NYC area that beat some or all in Arlington. But averaged at the county-level, Manhattan’s a big place.

Kids here ride the subway for fun. It’ll be raining and for an activity we’ll take the train a couple stops, then transfer and head home.

We once spent the whole day at the aquarium and the toddler said his favorite part was riding the subway train there and back.

New or old? The remake had some problems, but soundtrack-wise it was a clear improvements.

Yes I have small children and my Spotify yearly wrap-up is always dominated by Disney tracks.

I’m scared this isn’t a joke.

At a minimum, Trump will bait some of them into it.

If no one breaks 50% on the first round (seems likely) are we really going to have to wait a week for confirmation on who wins the RCV runoff?

If so, any reliable way to estimate where Lander voters’ # 2 lines go?

We hadn’t won World War II by May 8th. I know because my family and I were still in an internment camp in Tule Lake, California.

Cheap devices are part of it. But I suspect also it’s parents being stressed, overworked, undersupported.

Would be curious how this breaks down by economic status.

Reading to my kids feels like a luxury when you just got off work, somebody needs to prep dinner, there’s laundry to fold, etc.
