Ah, we have a Homer mention in Hooker…

If you like the new Bedouine album you might like The Trials of Van Occupanther, the classic indie record of 2006 by Midlake

Got this Summa from the Hennepin County library, which is rad, but I gotta say this 1911 translation is extraordinarily clunky. I’ve got the Latin but I’d have to dig it out There is a newer one, right? That was published with Latin facing on the opposite side?

Is it preppy, or am I about to try to sell a marching band to your town and run off with the librarian?

I know we just reopened this but this intersection needs a redesign and soon. Super worried it’s only a matter of time until a ped or cyclist is seriously injured

And later a couple speed bumps. The point being when AAA routes are made available for installation or upgrades the City simply won't do anything in NE

Put a bird on it meme but it says "Want to do the least possible?" "Put a speed bump on it"

Cover art for Philip Turner’s “Christian Socialism: The Promise of an Almost Forgotten Tradition”

Tony (Soft on Crime)@adalehunt· Jun 3

Just have to footnote it. At 5,923 words I'm wondering if I should someone make it 6,000 for aesthetic purposes

Radical Orthodoxy's Final Breath: A Review of Philip Turner's "Christian Socialism: The Promise of an Almost Forgotten Tradition"

In Christianity at the Crossroads, George Tyrell wryly said of the German theologian Adolf Von Harnack, that “The Christ [he] sees, looking back through nineteen centuries of Catholic darkness, is only the reflection of a Liberal Protestant face, seen at the bottom of a deep well.” I think what can be said of Philip Turner’s book Christian Socialism: The Promise of an Almost Forgotten Tradition is that in it he looked into the well of Christian socialism expecting to see a Benedict Option, yet even with what limited tools he availed himself of, he saw instead something unexpectedly dark and alien.

Can’t recall if I’ve ever shared my little Phos Hilaron on here. Thanks to Michael Smith for transcribing it!

Reminds me of a truck that was fully wrapped around a tree at the end of a tiny street near Edison. How fast was the vehicle going that hit this thing??

I want my kids to make their bikes their own. To that end, for Christmas I got my anime loving daughter a set of decals from Kaneda’s motorcycle from the film Akira. This is how she put them on. I’m in love with this thing!

(Perennial reminder that the All Ages plan explicitly rejects Bicycle Boulevards based on their Greenway Study, but walked that back in the Design Guide)

The City published a Greenways Study in 2019. The most significant outcome of the Greenways Study was the introduction of the concept of neighborhood greenways, which replaces the term bicycle boulevard that was used in the 2011 Bicycle Master Plan.
Neighborhood greenways are similar to bicycle boulevards, in that they will be installed on low volume residential streets that connect neighborhood destinations and manage motor vehicle volume and speed. Neighborhood greenways differ from bicycle boulevards because they will optimize travel for pedestrians and bicyclists by eliminating or significantly reducing motor vehicle use. Neighborhood greenways will also greatly improve the walking environment throughout the city by limiting interactions with motor vehicles and improving the experience of crossing the street.
Neighborhood greenways will be linear and have logical beginning and end points, typically connecting to other bikeways on the All Ages and Abilities Network as they are installed. Each block will be unique based on the context of the neighborhood, technical analysis, and community engagement. Some blocks may fully remove motor vehicle access, others may narrow the vehicular travel space by half, and other blocks could primarily focus on intersection treatments such as curb extensions, median refuge islands, and traffic circles. Neighborhood greenways can be installed with a street reconstruction or as an independent project, which could install a concrete barrier to provide space for the bikeway. All greenways will be designed and built to accommodate emergency vehicles. Neighborhood greenways may also be used for flooding and stormwater management mitigation.

Far Left / Anti-Capitalist
Believes capitalism itself — not just its excesses — needs to be replaced or fundamentally restructured. The goal is collective or worker ownership of major industries, not just stronger regulation of private ones. Crucially, this transformation should happen through democratic
processes, not top-down state control. Distrusts mainstream institutions as built to serve capital,
