Let's all remember what socialism is really about in Wisconsin: baking our shit into lawn fertilizer

Since we're on a discourse cycle on 2010s personal finance ragebait, let me dig up another classic

check out how fast nyc power demand fell when the storm hit & the heat broke (from www.nyiso.com/real-time-da..., a great website for electricity fans)

Our arch not only has perfectly executed granite detailing but is also Grantposting in physical form

Damn what if we just did this all the time

like 70% of california politics is trying to prevent a place like this from existing (except with year-round good weather)

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I know trans people and I know fascists who are making life difficult for trans people. The trans people are pretty cool and I'm glad I know them. The fascists can go fall down a deep dark hole.

ICE agents should be fired, not deployed to airports.

Omakase is German for "grandma cheese"

ICE is bad. Deportation is bad. Immigration restriction is almost always bad. Armed masked men going into homes without warrants is so obviously villainous that the fact anyone approves it is a stain that will haunt even generous histories of our nation ever after. I am anti-ICE.

so Claude Code is a todo list app right

Going to work today, I expect a city employee to provide me with a challah and two roses when I exit the subway

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

apparently the new pynchon novel is set in milwaukee, certainly an uncommon setting for literary fiction www.milwaukeemag.com/review-thoma...

"I hope [Zohran] can accomplish the same sort of things that Hoan and Zeidler did here" — my Milwaukee mom

midtown east: where main transportation is neither mass transit nor car but a secret third thing (walking)

I grew up in Milwaukee, what happens when socialists are in charge is that you buy your lawn fertilizer from the government which makes it out of your poop

*guy who just watched a movie about the Romanian revolution on an airplane voice" this whole ballroom affair is just like when Ceaucescu tore down half of the old city of Bucharest to build a palace

went to see The Photograph and the print there is detailed enough that you can see it's a bike route lol

Found a weird suburb, 800sqft poured concrete houses on narrow streets with one big park rather than yards to deal with post-WWI housing information www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/l...

hello @dieworkwear.bsky.social i read this post of yours from 6 years ago dieworkwear.com/2019/05/25/t... with your bowling along cite about how people mostly don't have clubs like that anymore we do have a club like that here in nyc & have lots of nice fun outside by bike & train www.nycadv.com

also a fascinating piece of local NYC history from an unusual but illuminating lens (about how the Port Authority totally obsoleted the spatial logic of most NYC industrial space & adjacent neighborhoods especially along the docks in Lower Manhattan & inner parts of Brooklyn)

I think it is good for politicians to live in housing they can easily afford because it means they can take moral stands that may risk their reelection without risking their home It also means they needn't cozy up to those that may employ them (or hire them for "consulting") when out of office

Duffy is not just from Wisconsin but rural Wisconsin and would also soil himself riding a @ridemcts.bsky.social bus, and hates all trains as it is an article of faith among Wisconsin Republicans who also threw away a fully funded Intercity rail service from Chicago to Minneapolis in 2010

you have been visited by "Le Boulanger Quebecois" repost to receive his blessing

I think Mark Gorton should also give $250k to @davecolon.bsky.social (who I ranked first for council in D35)

Fun fact: many NYC grocery stores are already owners' coops eg Key Food and Ideal Food Basket en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Food www.idealfoodbaskets.com/about-us/

very hot day bike commute checklist: - thermos full of ice cubes to suck on - ice pack on neck - ultralight clothing from Muji/Uniqlo - slow pace - ebike on high

The Milwaukee rally is at the site of a proud moment in the city's history

there's a great book about this

"Direct vision" trucks would save lives of solid waste workers and those in other industries.
