Interested in learning about the complexities of this world we live in. Settled in Ann Arbor after a spell in Chicago. Working to become an expert listener. Raising curious humans. Finding sparks of joy in nature, cycling, music, art, and smiles.

Paris urban biking investment helps cut pollution in half: “Between 2005 and 2024, levels of nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter — 2 of the most harmful pollutants to human health — have been slashed by 50% and 55%, respectively.” Via @momentummag.bsky.social momentummag.com/paris-proves...
The grift must not, cannot ever stop.
Very excited to see @shovelsandrope.bsky.social at the Ark in Ann Arbor tonight! They’re so so good.
Who else saw Makaya Mccraven tonight at the Michigan Theatre? What an astonishing performance. So thankful for the opportunity to see this performance in person!
What a beautiful late summer day in Michigan.
Elon Musk &X @elonmusk • 12h Your estimates are about right. .... However, intelligent robots in humanoid form will far exceed the population of humans, as every person will want their own personal R2-D2 and C-3РО. And then there will be many robots in industry for every human to provide products & services. Özden Duran @ @zdenDuran14-11h When robots replace working people, how will those who become unemployed sustain their lives? 16. 1719 贝 企 Elon Musk & X @elonmusk X.com There will be universal high income (not merely basic income). Everyone will have the best medical care, food, home, transport and everything else. Sustainable abundance. 2:02 PM • 8/24/25 • 268K Views
Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future.
It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.
Maybe: Mark Ruffalo? I'll be brief. With the wholesale assault on our federal government, we all need our ways to stay sane and maintain our strength for our loved ones. I've decided to take a short walk, but after it's done, it's back to work for me. Can I count on you to let me know what we're thinking about for lunch?
Sent my wife a text in the style of democratic fundraising messages.
So the show was stunning and we was completely transfixed the entire time. The jibber jabber made it feel like we were friends and the set list was perfection. Please return to Michigan again soon. We adore you.
I’m so giddy with anticipation to see @shovelsandrope.bsky.social play tonight. I’m only recently introduced to their catalog, but it was love at first listen.
I’ve got a bunch of Blue Jays arguing in my backyard right now.
So this phrase “able-bodied” has clearly been on the most recent list of R talking points. It comes from the first round of English labor laws, which were instituted after the Black Death.
A mini medieval story time!
It just occurred to me that Trump's denial of Medicaid for many of his cult followers will leave them without legitimate medical coverage & they will resort to "wellness" scammers- those who wouldn't qualify for Medicaid payments. The snake oil salesmen figure to benefit more than anyone here.
ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.
I’m just hearing the fantastic news that Detroit is officially getting a WNBA expansion team. I was hoping the rumors were true! I wonder if they’ll bring back Shock or introduce a new team name. 🏀 #Detroit #WNBA
I dunno, I really feel like the paneling pulls this little gathering space together.
👀 The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has just published an article by A3P Sr. Counsel Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to the states & requires a separation of church & state. 1/
I hate it when the mosquito wins.
There’s another new guardrail on the Barton Drive exit off M-14. How long will this one last?
On a daily basis I question my dog’s survival instincts watching how absolutely undiscerning he is about the things he eats off the ground. <shudders>
Not really been into it before now, but today I’ve started thinking about studying to become a powerful witch. I desperately want to cast a mass curse on those people who find it a worthwhile use of their time to terrorize and harm trans children.
We are getting so excited for the @aadl.org Summer Game! The whole family is still brainstorming what our game code and message will be this year. We have not yet reached consensus. 😆 #SummerGame2025
Keep sharing. There are many angles in this one due to all the neighbors, mostly women, who stepped out to support this family. A few Bible verses come to mind for their efforts, in fact.

My kids always ask for that same gift too. A trip to @vaultofmidnight.bsky.social is always fun. 🤩 Happy Birthday to Atticus!
The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law.
He is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies like the Social Security Administration at will.
I won't be attending tomorrow's Joint Address.
‘Move fast and break things’ only works for people who have never had to clean up after themselves.

Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, our senators from Michigan, did not sign this letter
I can’t believe how much my dog gets catcalled in Ann Arbor. I know this city loves dogs, but damn.
The president just implemented one of the largest mass layoffs in American history – potentially 200,000 people in a single day – and democrats are not on the floors of Congress right now doing anything about it because they called it a day early to go drinking with Republicans in Berlin instead.
