A brief summary of the water issues at Lake Hiawatha I threw together @MinneapolisPark @hiawatha4all #Minneapolis
Just a reminder that the MPRB has not only carefully studied options for 18 holes and wasn't able to figure out how they could be done, but the golfers did their level best last spring and produced what can only be described as an epic engineering fail.
Barr Engineering has completed a contracted review of the golfers' 18-hole proposal for Hiawatha, and it is *relentless*. Section after section discrediting the inaccurate claims made by this proposal. A 🧵.

ALT Based on other project experience, there are several components of Alternative 6 as proposed that would typically not be allowed/permitted by the technical review agencies and are explicitly prohibited by state statute. There are numerous permits that will be required for the construction of Alternative 6. These permits would also be required for the concept as outlined in the master plan. However, there are several components of Alternative 6 that would typically not be allowed/permitted by the technical review agencies and are explicitly prohibited by state statute. This brings into question the overall feasibility of Alternative 6 and ability to secure necessary permits.

@ATT What is your response to this article? What is your justification for propping up one of the primary sources of misinformation in our media landscape? popular.info/p/how-at-and-t-…

@gruber As with anything else the @wirecutter recommendations make a lot more sense when you follow the money. Their recs are constrained by the items that can net big $ via affiliate links.

.@3M just “paused” all its political giving. This is not a “both sides” issue. They should join @att and @AmericanExpress & NEVER support those who tried to overturn our democratic election.

Incitement to violence has been occurring throughout. We learn which lives matter when we see which ones must be protected by the social media platforms
TFW you think about all the time Trump and Pence spent campaigning in MN when they could have been in NV or GA
Reminder: we are not likely to have definitive results on election night. Expect that it will take a longer period of time -- potentially up to a week -- to know the official election results.

Hey @gruber as a UX designer my guess is @nytimes has A/B tested themselves off a cliff nngroup.com/videos/dont-ab-t…
Proposal to shift #overpolicing to different neighborhoods: scale all fines for misdemeanors to personal wealth; a proportion go to dept
Anyone who wants MN to start opening up should take a good hard look at this 5/6 graphic from an internal White House Coronavirus Task Force report. #COVID19 #Minnesota
Hey @Apple the new iPhone SE is exactly what I've been waiting for. I guess I'll need to wait a bit longer — until you have publicly left the sham group that Trump is using as cover for his open-the-economy-no-matter-how-may-americans-die agenda.

Was lucky to be outside and looking in right direction to see a big meteor streak over Minneapolis & break up ~8:30. I’ve never seen one so bright. Just kind of walking around in awe now.

100% all of this
The most successful teams involve everyone who will influence the eventual design—including developers and stakeholders—in their design studios and paper prototyping activities.

As a serious aside, fixing the instructions would likely do little to improve the UX of push button ignition. I did a little study where most had trouble starting a Prius - few read that instruction at all.
My wife’s car says, “Depress Brake Pedal then Press Start Button.”
So I get in the driver’s seat and say, “Brake pedal, you are ugly and stupid and nobody loves you. You are the worst brake pedal I’ve ever stepped on.” Then I press the start button. Works every time.
