Yeah, America is mostly broken, but this map of Minneapolis greater metro bikeways is wonderful. Best in USA; and probably NA.

If you need to reorder your feed list don’t tap on what looks like a sort icon. It does nothing. Tap on the gear.

Also, it’s not hard to see examples of how forked America is in 2025.

I remembered a NYT Op-Ed by Andy Grove on the risks of hollowing out American manufacturing.
My ai says it was not the NYT, but Bloomberg in 2010.
It is paywalled — www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The secured facility is the home of a Christian-sect. “LW” for Living Will. I had to sign in to get to the public gift store and coffee shop. I am the only visitor. Security and staff suspect I am an infidel.

I needed coffee. Apple Maps pointed me to a coffee shop. A public shop. Inside a long concrete secured facility.

Trump admin sends spam to SS recipients about glorious tax cut.
Just another bit of American decency degraded.
Rather like Apple using Wallet notifications to spam us about a movie.
Yeah, once this would have been important. Now it is breaking the prized crystal while the house is on fire.

Ummm. How do I submit a search string in Perplecity’s 4/24/25 update?
This is from a Space question. There is no submit button.
I think they are trying to do a full AI generated coding pipeline and have no human testers left.
