wrote about a truly nightmarish series of railroad crossings in northwestern minneapolis. in early 2024, one of them was blocked for *194 minutes*. that's long enough to watch the entirety of the odyssey (2026) and then spend 21 minutes googling "anne hathaway oscar odds"

Aurin Chowdhury MPLS City Council Member W12@aurinmpls.bsky.social · 4w agoIt’s an abysmal mistake & out of touch for the MPLS City Council to even be considering doing a drone pilot for MPD with a company used by ICE & the IDF.

big fan of episode 2 of buffy going “people don’t want to think about bad stuff” after the town experiences a quintuple murder and then never addressing why no one cares about their awful crime rate. television used to be good

"who's a real new yorker" discourse is tailor-made to drive everyone completely insane. i think if we get in the lab and somehow graft "can you call listening to an audiobook reading" discourse onto it maybe we can get social media to overheat and turn off
Waymo pushed for language in Minnesota statute saying specifically that a vehicle could operate with no driver. That didn’t happen, but some are expressing concern that the company could still “operate in that murkiness.”
