I think it's great, and I'm glad this was organized. A lot of the big names doing mural work in Detroit signed the statement in solidarity with the neighborhood.

As far as I know, Wayne County [[in Detroit) does not do anything to secure properties that they foreclose on. Anyone legally changing the locks would be doing it after buying the property at the...

Richard, I brought up the book burnings to connect the Nazi rally last week with the long history of Nazi violence against LGBTQ people. I make this connection to emphasize that their words are not...

There's video out there if you want it. About 11 people in Nazi regalia marching down Jefferson, several armed with long guns and many of the rest openly carrying handguns. One of them has a...

I wish that would happen but it's probably not going to, cos the people who put on the grand prix are still going to make a ton of money. The traffic jam MSP pushed into Jefferson today didn't cost...

the current ownership of the Penobscot destroyed the almost 100 year old neon beacon on the roof by doing a crappy LED conversion. It has already partially failed, is not as bright as the neon was,...

the fact that an allegation wouldn't hold up in a court of law doesn't disqualify it for me, because that's kind of the problem -- our criminal legal system is really really really bad at...

The real test is going to be how snow removal handles the bike and parking lanes. Generally our plows kind of fuck up both the pedestrian and bicycle experiences.

Michigan drivers have always...

I am so incredibly sick of the Free Press website. Auto-play video with audio is annoying as hell, and it doesn't follow any of the normal conventions [[spacebar, escape key) to pause or mute it.

that's 63x as much money as the combined total of all of his opponents. ...

I for one thought the 50% felons stat was a positive sign.

I know what afrofuturism is, but I have no idea what she means by this. Does anyone know?[/QUOTE]

Here's an interview with Ingrid LaFleur in Thump -- VICE's vertical on "electronic music and...

I used to drink a lot of Bustelo, which is sold at Honeybee and most Meijer's for about $5 for a 10oz tin. It's sold as an espresso grind, which probably will help lead you away from the "my coffee...

I live just outside New Center, in LaSalle Gardens. A fun little melting pot.

To your third question, I think the platform of Ingrid LaFleur covers a lot of what I'd like to see. Especially the...

Here's the lineup:

Looks like a lot of great stuff.

I'd like to see the zoo cleaned up, stabilized, and turned into a sculpture park.

I haven't heard anything other than pipe dreams from my friends, tho.

It's perfectly reasonable to be filled with intolerance to fascism, or filled with hatred for white supremacy, or filled with rage at language constructed to confuse and silence rather than to...

I agree with this:

I too would like to see our elections handled better.

I wish there was as much gusto behind election reform as there is behind voter ID laws.

Easier, more reliable, and just fundamentally...

I agree that the operative word is "shall," but before that is a big "if":

If you want public support for your development, your development shall provide for community benefits.

I don't understand where you're coming from with this.

Here's two big chunks of the actual ordinance being voted on as Prop A. Skim it, it's not that bad.

The first chunk is a list of what the...

Here's the full text of Proposal A.

I'm skeptical of Proposal B. It reminds me a lot of when Mike Dugeon, the barber, randomly ran for mayor. Similarly, the opposition to Prop A seems to be...

Here's a post summarizing a scholarly article about our demolition scene:

When I looked into homeowner's insurance, I was asked if the house needed any repairs "more substantial than chipped or peeling paint." Well, yeah.

Michigan Basic comes up a lot because they...

It's a step in the right direction. But it looks like we're upgrading a desolate empty field into a desolate fenced off industrial field.

Seems to be a lot of open space between rows of solar...
