This handsome fellow visited my porch this weekend (Milwaukee WI USA)--the likes of which I haven't seen before. iNaturalist couldn't pinpoint the species but similar beetles looked possibly unfriendly to trees (borers). Anyone have tips on what it is? #Milwaukee#Wisconsin#beetle#invertebrates#B&W #iNaturalist

😔 A music festival at #Culvers would have been kind of epic.
"It seems that Bug Moment did all of their due diligence as far as getting approvals and were rewarded with all of our enthusiasm. Somewhat cruelly, that enthusiasm spooked Culver’s corporate and the franchise owner, who reached out less than 12 hours after the initial announcement requesting a cancellation."
What’s your region’s biggest infrastructure embarrassment?
Here’s I-794 in #Milwaukee, which is 32.5 acres of the most valuable commercial and residential real estate in Wisconsin, estimated to be worth as much as $1.5 billion. All while only 15% of cars ever use the full bypass.
But here's the good news for Milwaukeeans! There’s a concerted effort to remove the freeway and revitalize the area.
We rode the new #Milwaukee#BRT bus downtown to the Lakefront Art Festival. We were very impressed with the ride. It was fast. The drivers were terrific AND, it was free. That’s hard to beat. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
I was awake WAY TOO LATE, last night working on scratching an itch. I wanted to write another bot that answers the question "What if @GMMKE was written by a 19th-century poet?", so I created @MKELimerick.
Another day of unbreathable air in #Milwaukee. #climatechange comes home to roost and it turns out no one likes it. Staying inside all day for multiple days in a row during the summer feels very, very wrong. #StirCrazy
