Impossible to root for.
So he was all about free speech, right?
I regret them all equally.
He was just following orders
Proving again that just because a reporter interviews someone, interesting or newsworthy information does not always result.
Lotta doinks in this game
a quintessentially American moment
"It needs to be a bipar..." SNORE ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Nobel peace prize through strength
Come for the racism, stay for the other various and sundry forms of insanity
Has anyone done any reporting on whether MAGA world will accept Trump-like shenanigans from JD? Cause I kind of have my doubts.
well he risked eleventy gabillion dollars on one oil well that turned out to be a gusher, so it's emotional 🤣
Thoughts and prayers
he's obviously full of sh*t, but it's hard to rebut when the graphic they show is made to look like a bar chart in which -8 is larger than -17
Do you have a story to tell about urbanism, housing, safe transportation, or healthy neighborhoods? We want you to submit a proposal for a Lightning Talk. We can help you develop your talk and slides. The deadline is this Sunday! The event will be Saturday, September 20, 6pm. #A2Council
I think from here on out, "raises questions about whether" actually means "is strong evidence that"
this was one of my first: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M3j...
“Middle class” 😴
oh, well, I guess I like her a tiny bit more 😂
who
An uneasy mix of fascism and a police state?
Wow. Inspiring. 😐
Can you be more full of shit?
you guys keep topping yourselves for worst headline ever
If you're looking for a podcast guest to talk about homelessness and criminalization, I've got some time available this month 🤷🏾♂️
are they supposed to just walk somewhere?
yes, well, when I lived in DC and needed to do some drug trafficking, I always went down to the Mall to do it 😵💫
A pierogi delayed is a pierogi denied
Wow who coulda seen that coming
Tonight's newsletter is out and it is 🔥 if we may say so ourselves. * Why one A2 parent welcomes multi-unit housing * Just how expensive is it to live in Washtenaw County? * New group connects climate & density c2a2.info * And a CALL FOR SPEAKERS! newsletter.moreneighborsa2.org/p/call-for-s...
I'd say this phenomenon of fake backlash and back-backlash goes back even farther to things like the "politically correct" scare of the 1990s. (or was it the 80s?)
You’re right, YES would have won by a lot more in Nov.
Well if you want to get really mad, look into the revisions the city of Ann Arbor is considering to the comprehensive land use plan and the opposition — google “pause the plan” it’s horrible — it’s as if increasing housing density will result in hell on earth
Ok I’m gonna go on the record here and say “too soon”
32, not bad
They’re gonna start spelling it that way to own the libs
That’s a secret?
35 pts, 12-15 free throws in a win vs Eugene Bible College. 🏀🔥🏀🔥

Support more dense and diverse housing in Ann Arbor by signing this petition: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Bill Kristol, best Dem strategist going -- did not have that on my bingo card.
Hate to tell you this, but they're gonna want breakfast lunch and dinner tomorrow too 😂
Did you know the actor that plays a teller in Dog Day Afternoon is also in Inside Man?
This sounds like a cliche but it's true -- I was having dim sum in Chinatown NYC, when who walks in but Allen FREAKING Ginsberg. He turns to our table and says, "What's good today?"
snatching defeat from the jaws of victory yet again
Yesterday, we opened the Grove at Veridian with more than 100 Avalon staff and supporters. We salute county commissioners Andy LaBarre and Yousef Rabhi, and Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor, for their words of inspiration, and thank all of our partners - avalonhousing.org/tgv-ribboncu... for more.
gosh if only there were an opposition party with leadership that would amplify the idea that being arrested and jailed with no due process by a secret police force is bad
Framing
lolz
If you help someone distribute drugs, you might be a "drug dealer" If you accept stolen goods from someone who committed a crime, you might be a "criminal" But if you accept and distribute stolen data from racists... You might work for the NY Times
if they make more GOP districts with smaller margins, it's gonna backfire
Guess my computer is all too human
I think there should be "OK" and "Not OK" -- and they both do the same thing, namely nothing 😐
Also housing.
I'm a rank beginner, I have literally no idea how to pronounce it!
Rubio:
Rescued a Fukien tea #bonsai from a big box clearance rack and now it has little white blooms 🥳
we're going to have a massive police force going after a relatively small number of people. what could go wrong?
I would rather beat Ohio State.
I'm going for that record.
What are you supposed to do with those slices of cheese?
The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!
It’s surprisingly not horrible if you slather it with horseradish
The vast majority of us on here truly appreciate your voice.
They’re scared

All month we’ve celebrated different themes, elements, and aspects of Black music.Today is a little more simple: the song you love in and out, top to bottom. For the *final day* of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share your idea of the perfect song.
There are a couple in my neighborhood ☹️
let's summarize the new mayor so far according to the NYT: bad for the Jews and bad for Black people...
this is a train wreck of an article. I can't look away
Both-sidesing fake antisemitism
I don't think you're a sucker for feeling bad about Haliburton's injury -- that was brutal and I don't think a lot people really enjoyed the game much after it happened.
The Ann Arbor chapter of Neighbors for More Neighbors just updated their site—it’s beautiful and full of great info on the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, how to get involved, and why making room for more neighbors matters. #a2council Check it out: www.moreneighborsa2.org
Is this real? Can it please be a deepfake?
there's a pretty strong pressure campaign on to delay and weaken land use reform in ann arbor. please sign this petition to remind the council that the YIMBY voters who elected them still want an affordable, growing, and diverse city. neighborspetition.org
Is this a news piece or opinion? Fucking ridiculous
These discussions, like one on my neighborhood listserv today, feel as if they're designed to make me feel discouraged and depressed. But a groundswell of activism organized around NFMNA2 is giving me hope and energy. For those who haven't signed yet, please go to neighborspetition.org
I guess I'm supposed to like Tucker Carlson's "I'm confused" schtick better now that he's using it on Republicans? Meh.
That’s way too much for Bane
Zing!

we've entered the "how do we tell the good ones from the bad ones" phase of this nonsense
This is the status quo. People can't afford to live here. If you want change, sign the petition at neighborspetition.org to urge the #a2council to adopt a land-use plan that promotes higher density and greater diversity in housing. www.mlive.com/news/ann-arb...
at the very least, every elected member of his party should be asked if they agree with using force on peaceful protesters and if so, did they not really mean their oath of office?

How come nobody calls him Nemby?
Ann Arbor is facing a housing shortage that touches every corner of our community—from cost-burdened renters and priced-out middle-income families to seniors unable to downsize affordably. #A2Council
