That's why, short of any realistic effort on the part of making grade-level any safer, I support every bit of new infrastructure that provides alternatives. Not to mention bridges are cool.

My mother-in-law was killed on a bike, on a designated bikeway, so I no longer entertain the academic approach to bike safety. Cars are an endemic danger that we are not serious enough about dealing with.

I'm all for making things inconvenient for cars, but MDOT is not. And until I see any realistic path to that, I'm all for paths that keep cars away from people.

I'm for the the B2B trail too, even though Huron River drive would make a lot more sense as a place to bike.

We'll never get proper bike/ped infrastructure at grade at that location. Between ambulance routes and the M-14 on/off-ramp, that intersection will never be safe (I lived right on that corner for years, and it's only gotten worse since).

I was just on this bridge, and thought it was pretty cool.

Wow. Never would've guessed that one, but makes all kinds of sense. Love it.

Apple, I love you, but you are not serious people.

Flags at half mast? I thought we were supposed to say 'thoughts and prayers' and move on?

Clearly the Phillies baseball lady sucks, but we've got to stop this meme-fueled mob rule.

Nobody is perfect all of the time and we will all get bit by something at some point.

Very on brand for Xitter to pour gas on it though.

Anyone need the fan in their Nintendo Switch replaced? I feel like I should use this knowledge more than a single time.

How do I get on the mailing list that gives rich people the heads up that they should buy all the purposefully cheapened stocks right before the policy changes that make them go up again?

Today, Trump is playing golf for the 13th day of his 48 day in office.

Every day he played golf in 2017 it cost taxpayers $3,383,250 (so you know it's higher now).

Big Balls is coming for his golf clubs next right?

I think it's mostly about convincing people that the bar can and should be raised and that you're committed to helping it get there too. Which I *know* you can do Haf.

Look, the work just isn't there yet. I can see the idea, but we're not pushing ourselves. Take a step back and ask; does this design actually solve the problem? Let's workshop this together β€” there's potential here, but we need to push beyond the first ideas.

There should be an assigned delivery cart/small truck for every few city blocks, where large delivery trucks approach the edge of, and let the cart made the last mile delivery.

It'd probably be just as quick given how slowly a semi has to maneuver through those tight quarters.

I can't disagree with the sentiment, but I think we're in a moment where patriotism is important, if only to take it away from those that clearly don't have fondness for the real principles of western democracy.

Our side is the pro-American idealism one, and we should be taking back that symbolism.

Should we at least wrap it in a new brand of patriotism?

If we’re getting more serious about our propaganda, should our propaganda be more serious?
