“In other words, the British appear to be unilaterally moving to let all manner of perpetrators off the hook, no matter what they did or how their victims feel about it.” https://t.co/4SI4FCYFfU

@dbrauer I worked with MSP Plumbing Heating & Air. They were going to do a Daikin system but switched to Mitsubishi when there had been some noise issues with the Daikin. I love it - it's been super quiet and my house is evenly heated or cooled in a way we didn't have before.

@dbrauer It was an off menu order at a restaurant I worked at, but I feel like they used it like vermouth: 2 oz vodka, 1 oz sake.

[Grace Riley @_gracer]

@dbrauer Favorite to use in a sake martini.

Opened my front door to check for packages and there was a turkey on my stoop. The sound I made was somewhere between a yelp and a scream.

@violanorth A *good* brownie. Not the sad swath of mediocrity generally associated with brownies. Flourless chocolate cake? Pretty standard, easily executed product.

I made this for a spring birthday. Very fun, total crowd pleaser.

This summer baby will have pie, though. Peak produce season and you want me to celebrate with cake?! Pass.

(Maybe an ice cream cake.)

Summer babies, here's your birthday cake. https://t.co/5WN1TI1Pf7

These examples, plus the untested rape kits and domestic violence response, are why at a 3rd precinct listening session, I called MPD cruel and incompetent.

Just finished the DOJ's 89-page report on the Minneapolis Police Department.

The "systemic problems" that "made what happened to George Floyd possible" are widely understood, so wanted to share some of the more striking singular anecdotes.

Heads up, some of it's disturbing 🧵

[Grace Riley @_gracer]

@WentRogue I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Why do women buy sandals that leave their feet hanging over the edges? Especially toes. Do you not consider the next size up? Do you need vanity sizing in shoes, too?

Latest example: Chanel bag, probably $20K in diamonds, and sandals with her feet overhanging on three sides. 🤷‍♀️

MILES-LONG TRAINS ARE BLOCKING FIRST RESPONDERS WHEN EVERY MINUTE COUNTS Houses are burning, patients go unattended, a 3-month-old in Texas died after his mother waited for help @andreapsalcedo @luzcita and @leepowelltv report https://t.co/7PDC42O5al

@risahustad How quickly the rules are adopted will be a clue.

Been telling myself since 8 AM I can go outside after I send a handful of necessary emails.

It’s 3 PM. But they’re sent! Plus a few productive procrastination ones.

With the current debates about Summit and the Nicollet Kmart site I keep thinking, “Be brave, MSP! Another city is possible.”

[Grace Riley @_gracer]

I was so excited to be a founding member. The way the city changed while I lived there - from almost getting run over by duck tours in Times Square to the pedestrian plaza and Broadway bike lane - was amazing.

[Janette Sadik-Khan @JSadikKhan]

10 ago this month, Citi Bike became the city's newest transportation network, with riders pedaling on new lanes and past the city's newest public spaces. We were riding in a city that hadn’t existed just a few years earlier. https://t.co/SRFOQ9idh1
