My neighborhood has great nighttime vibes. The hills of Omaha provide some pretty neat vantage points.

A blizzard with potential for 70 mph wind gusts is crazy

Minnesota is supposed to be this bastion of progressivism, but its minimum wage seems to have fallen behind deep red midwestern states like Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota

Something I don’t think a lot of people realize is that rural areas do often have transit, and some places do some pretty innovative things.

For example, Open Plains Transit operates a network long distance bus routes in western Nebraska and surrounding states.

Is “trunk or treat” a bit dystopian? Yeah.

It’s also a rational response by parents to a transportation system that has deprioritized safety in favor of vehicle speed, right down to fractions of a second, for decades.

Until we fix what this graph shows, trunk or treat isn’t going away.

Not quite as vibrant, but I do like the new vaguely homoerotic art deco plate they’ve been rolling out this year

Nebraska’s old geese and sunset plates were pretty great too imo
