Maybe a little for hockey too just to keep Canada on edge, but otherwise this.
If I were communist dictator of the United States, I would immediately abolish the military, and spend all that money on developing soccer talent instead.

MSP folks: I have a question about the Bro-Tex raid from someone who works at a different manufacturing facility. When ICE showed up, did they come through the front door, through the back door/loading dock, or through both at once?

Really fun and interesting episode today. Particularly the comments about the utility of speed cameras which is pretty relevant to MN people right now.
New pod is out!
On the agenda for @davidzipper.bsky.social & @wesmars.bsky.social:
🔹 What Mamdani means for NYC transportation
🔹 Why flying cars are always just around the corner
🔹 Automatic enforcement vs street redesign: Which should be the priority?
