still a horrible decision by the city to allow private vehicles here. this should only be open for transit like the 18, the last thing we need is another north-south street for drivers to speed in and out of downtown. i think a bottleneck was good for eat street which already has too many cars on it

Love to see the New Nicollet nearing completion. (Former K Mart site). Best part is definitely going to be how the 18 bus route will speed up without having to detour.

Cars have four lanes here; people have less than one meter. The cars have claimed even that. I'm joining the #WarOnWalking on the side of walking! 🌎 Little Rock, AR, USA

Here’s a call to action for all of you —since some may still be skeptical that there’s been a deliberate WAR ON WALKING in cities for a very long time, reply to or quote-post this with your own photos, examples, articles, studies, anything you think makes the case. Include the hashtag #WarOnWalking!

During a climate-change-induced heat wave, remember to close your Overton window once it starts to heat up in the morning!

I hate when a person or group fights as hard as possible to make something (COVID response, Metro Green Line Extension) as difficult and costly as possible, then turns around and complain about that thing being bad. If you strive to be the problem, nobody should look to you for solutions.

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

All the teams playing in the World Cup yesterday forgot that Father's Day is coming up, so they all rushed out to get a tie.

it has fingers, presumably with fingerprints, so it's plausible that it's whorled, but it's really more of a ball on a pedestal than a cup

Canada needs a international development bank with the slogan "Owe Canada."

The good Lord made me too tall to work on a submarine and too short to play basketball, and I've come to terms with that. I'm the right height to walk, bike, and ride buses and trains, though.

If I can do sensitivity analysis to determine whether to go to Koblenz via Mainz or via Limburg to account for inevitable delays, MnDOT should be able to do sensitivity analysis on their safety models for Rethinking I-94.

I've been waiting for the most anticipated sequel in history, threequila.

To clear up a common misconception: the Massachusetts city was originally known as Lol, but Daniel Webster changed its spelling to Lowell to get back at the British.
