I think this is the first time where I really want to give Kim a hug and ask her if she's okay. That's horrible.

Detroit is all over their bikes.

Living within a mile of my destination is absolutely a luxury. I've also lived 20 miles away and have commuted by bike. But considering the price, upkeep, insurance, etc. for a bike vs. a car... there's the luxury. But why shouldn't city planning and urban development support residential dwelling within closer…

Nope, nope, nope. We need to find better ways to integrate various forms of transit infrastructure. Separating them causes far more headaches.

Eh... by riding a bike and not owning a car, I can actually work a reasonable distance (1 mile) from my office and enjoy my neighborhood's walkability score. I get that this doesn't apply to everywhere, but an "inefficient luxury"... That I disagree with.

Uh-oh, is Murphy going all Byrne on us, infrastructure wise? ;) As much as I adore James Murphy and as much as LCD Soundsystem was my entry way into electronic music... my vote is still to speak with people that have more infrastructure, people movement, etc. experience. Unless of course he wants to fund it himself...

Outlet stores for life!!! Nordstrom's comparable brand Zella is so inexpensive if you wait for them to show up at Nordstrom Rack.

I want this dress!

Back in my early 20s I broke off a 3-year relationship and then went through a string of guys. There was a lot of sulking and angst. An older, more experienced, and practical friend - though completely acknowledging and sympathizing with my emotions - pointed out that relationships (friends, family, love, etc.) all…

I'm also a big fan of considering most things in life as economics, and love has a surprising amount in common with investment banking. ;)

If you like electronic music, I suggest the High & Tight shows, or the Voices From the Lake show that is coming up.

I am a cyclist and they speak they speak the truth!

If I find their t-shirts at the second hand store I always jump at 'em. They also have pretty decent tights.

I am amazed that you didn't know all-kill shelters existed..., which I think says more to my degree of cynicism and dread than anything.

I think this case goes to show that most people don't have the slightest idea about what zoos must do for genetic reasons, breeding, putting caps on population, etc.

Saw this at SIFF in Seattle and I was pretty disappointed. :S

When my boyfriend gets sushi without me it's worse than this. :P

That's why I posted the picture of my pup: she's a street dog from Taiwan. Another FMD (Taiwanese street dogs are often referred to as Formosan Mountain Dogs) owner also chimed in on her pup. Pariah / street dogs can make awesome pets! I'm in an FB group with ~1,000 people who have also adopted or owned Taiwanese…

Astrid was found with her sister (who lives up the road surprisingly!), but yeah - even that short amount of time without humans has added some interesting complexity to her. Astrid only barks if Guy Bandit or I get her super excited, she will make little growling / snorting noises to get our attention when necessary…
