#GrandRapidsMI

Where did the public transportation riders go? And will they be returning? https://urbangr.org/WhereDidTheRidersGo2026 #UrbanGR #GrandRapidsMI #publictransportation #publictransport

This Thursday you have the opportunity to weigh in on the future of US-131; the interstate stabbed through city's heart by the misguided policies of the late 20rh century. This event is not hosted by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), this is not disingenuous and performative "public engagement" meant to justify their foregone conclusion. This could be the beginning of a movement to essentially change the character of downtown Grand Rapids. #GrandRapidsMI

@daseinslaborant@berlin.social @tylergaw@mastodon.social This. The old BLOGosphere is very much alive; there are mountains of new content - on niche / extremely specific - topics produced all the time. I have a couple of BLOGs, and "Social Media" isn't interested in the content, but the people who matter find their way there. RSS remains the ultimate content curation technology. Nobody needs an algorithm; those things are not there for the reader or the creator, it is just content middlemaning. https://urbangr.org/
