Minnesota would like a word.
Sadly, it is an appropriate time to re-up this thread.
Among all the other terrible things about this war, gasoline is about to become much more expensive for families that have been give too few alternatives.
Here's how state lawmakers can help.
I'm gonna go with Iranian schoolgirls not being my enemy or people who pose any particular threat to me who got killed for no reason.

Four Brompton folding bikes are on the floor, with a coat rack and some other things nearby.
Spotted at the coat check of the Ocean Sciences Meeting. The collective noun is a fold of Bromptons. #OSM26
Beautiful morning in Minneapolis. Ran my old bridges route. ❤️🏃♀️

Rewiring America was among the GGRF grantees affected. The waste is staggering - teams dismantled and capacity burned that took years to build. I’m heartbroken for the people and communities counting on these programs. And furious at the squandered momentum.
Spot on 👏
The rent is too damn high. The commute is too damn long. Here's how to fix it.
Rivalry, Wisconsin style #spoonerblows #birkebeiner
Wow! It's seriously cold in Whitehorse! This is the worst city I've checked for heat pump suitability.
Still good 90% of the year though!
What's your city look like?

Good luck to all the Birkebeiner racers this weekend! The largest cross-country ski race in North America kicks off tomorrow in Wisconsin. Not the Olympics, but still epic - 50K+ of grit and pure winter joy. At risk bc of climate change (this year’s route is altered). #Birkiefever
Michael Friedrich @mfriedrichnyc X.com After promising reinvestment in public housing on the campaign trail, the Mamdani admin is instead backing a developer-friendly demolition & privatization plan in the first major fight over NYCHA's fate.
It really sucks to see left-NIMBYs trying to sabotage Zohran’s mayoralty.
they’re currently attack him because he supports a plan to rebuild crumbling NYCHA apartments in Chelsea with increased density AND ensuring every existing resident gets a brand new, permanently affordable home
YOLO, friends 🌵
You never quite know what a work trip will bring. I certainly didn’t expect to find out that 23 years ago my beloved grandmother’s ashes were scattered in the gardens where I’m staying. A disarming, beautiful surprise —
What a GOOD BOY!
BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.
The question of our time is how do you artistically rebel — and win — against a totally flat cultural landscape? And before my readers, who I assume are all approximately 36 years old and very tired, say, “so what, who cares?” This does matter. I mean, just look around right now lol. You know things are bad when even OpenAI President Greg Brockman is posting stuff, like “Taste is a new core skill.” If people had taste, your company wouldn’t exist, Greg. But if everything is just attention now, and attention is completely commodified by algorithmic tech platforms, how can you push back against that? Well, I am slowly coming around to a theory on the new cool: You have to essentially pre-deplatform yourself. Culture right now is determined not by human teams of editors and producers picking and choosing what youth culture gets the spotlight, but, instead, by the unthinking algorithms that power YouTube and TikTok. Which means the only things that have the level of scarcity and danger required to be seen as cool by young people will, slowly, but surely, be whatever is unacceptable on those platforms.
A post so smart I'm almost afraid to share it.

TODAY - Governor Pritzker's State of the State has several housing ideas that tackle cost + climate:
🏘️ By-right multifamily housing
🅿️ Remove parking requirements

Authoritarian force fractures when communities stay united, nonviolent, and institution-backed. Minnesota showed us what that looks like. Worth studying, not just celebrating. Important piece from @minnesotareformer.com 👇🏼

“staggering incompetence, cold indifference, and jaded cruelty…” is a terrific description of this entire administration

I finally got what I wanted, a chart that shows how much of a given year a heat pump is suitable for a given climate.
I find that I can get heat pumps to work pretty well in most houses down to 25° or so.
Good!!
I had a tiny gravel race this last weekend and wore a mask on the flight out and pumped all the vitamins. Seems so obvious - why catch a cold or virus if you don’t need to!
