@AgingWheels Good luck with the auction! Do the new Solos fill that niche better? I’d be excited to hear if you recoup your upgrade costs, if you’re willing to do the math.

@mertzigzag Another Madison win. Just like how we beat London on Christmas Day.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@mertzigzag Are you saying a programming environment that has no support for tests, makes it hard to reuse code but easy to copy/paste, and no type checking results in programs that have bugs?

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

It’s raining here in Madison. February rain means that salt from road and sidewalk treatments isn’t swept up by street cleaning and just goes into the lakes and our aquifer. It’s just another cool way the climate crisis harms our environment.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@mertzigzag There’s value in doing both. I’m sure report a problem can be FOIAed, but Bike Lane Uprising can make the pervasiveness of the problem public.

@SiddhantAdlakha Come for the movie discussion, stay for the Boat.

@ChittiMarco @sanpabloavenue The Denver RTD Blue Line (that goes to the airport) does this, too. Is the distinction that it’s not light rail?

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@mertzigzag Yes, JarJar was presumably not aware he was calling for fascism.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@mertzigzag Did you see this one?

Hey you! Yes, you! Have you donated to local media yet this season? No? Consider helping Tone Madison reach our year-end goal. The more new Sustainers we get, the better we can consistently publish funny, fierce local journalism.

@mertzigzag I’ve lived here my whole life. I am a big lover of cheese and fried cheese curds. I even think Culver’s is pretty reasonable fast food. But still… it just seems like it can’t be good.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@scottgordonwi Remember that time he decided to go hard against the use of singular ‘they’ literally the day after someone at CPAC called for trans genocide?

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@kenklippenstein Was not aware that The Onion rebranded!

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@thedalehollow I don’t think this casting works. One look at you and no one will believe the character isn’t super cool and already skilled in several martial arts!

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@mcmansionhell Men are mad that there’s art in the world that targets other audiences.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@mertzigzag Queueing up a huge cache of minion-filled big lie memes for you to peruse, no doubt.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@ToneMSN @StinaDale The choice of a suburban campus means a huge number of employees are commuting out of the city on 18/151. Speed and vehicle miles traveled are both higher than they would be otherwise, increasing risk and severity of crashes.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@mertzigzag Sounds like an issue we could fix with more service. Transit should be frequent enough that it’s rare for there not to be a few extra seats on a bus. Wishful thinking I know.

[LJD @AmusingMoniker]

@MadisonForPpl This is a hilariously inept attempt at co-opting social justice language. It’s literally the opposite of equity.

Also demanding or building sprawl is climate arson.

@WISCTV_News3 @scottgordonwi Where is the shelter? Seems like obvious context to add to this story, and it’s very weird that it’s missing.
