St. Louis, MO | The Lou

I wouldn't normally do this but after two very bad experiences with Ed Napleton dealerships I wanted to make a PSA to people in the St. Louis, MO region:

Avoid Ed Napleton dealerships if you can. They are good at pulling a bait and switch, wasting a lot of your time in the process. With lots overflowing they are still trying to add a "pandemic market adjustment" of $2,000. I'd like to save people the time and frustration.

I NEVER thought I'd see an aurora in St. Louis. But I did, and here's the video and timelapses I recorded—it was amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNNboe7m42U #aurora #stlwx #stlouis #stl #NorthernLights

75 years ago, the students of Washington University in St. Louis overwhelmingly voted to admit Black students to undergraduate programs. But it took the university another three years to desegregate. #stlouis

Eviction filings, including in #KansasCity and #StLouis, are skyrocketing despite the better economy. Let's call it what it is. Landlords are price gouging tenants, hitting them with fees, and evicting them when they can't pay. The best solution is to do what they do in #Finland -- give people the housing. Meanwhile, join your local tenants union or organize one if there is none in your area and know your rights. #Missouri https://www.kcur.org/housing-development-section/2024-04-29/more-tenants-in-kansas-city-and-st-louis-are-being-evicted-i-was-scared?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Kavahn%20Mansouri%20reports%20for%20the%20NPR%20Midwest%20Newsroom&utm_campaign=Early%20Bird

Yesterday I joined a protest in #StLouis about #WhitePhosphorous. A chemical weapon, which kills and maims by chemical burn. White Phosphorous is produced by #Monsanto (headquartered here in STL), sold to #ICL (which also operates out of STL), and then sold by ICL to several militaries, including the US and IDF.

In many ways it can feel like these wars are solely the decisions of far away politicians, happening in far away places, to far away people. But the machine is also here at home.

Anyone in or near St. Louis doing anything for #MendInPublicDay? Just heard of this.

Good article on the non-cleanup of #radioactive contamination near the #StLouis airport. ("Good" in the sense of interesting and detailed, not the actual situation.)

I bet everyone in St. Louis has captured some version of this cloud on their phone today. Mesmerizing #stlouis #STL #weather #clouds

Good morning friends, welcome to Wednesday! It's going to be annoying for me at times, I've got a conference call with Chicago Bob, our sales person and his customer, let's call him Mr. Jackass today at 10. Talking to customers isn't normally my job, but this guy likes to use big scary engineering words that confuse poor Bob, so I'm taking over. Fun times!

Good morning friends. 🌄 How's everyone doing today? I'm tired, I only got two hours of sleep, and I'm feeling it. Luckily, I have a full thermos of strong coffee and this sunrise to enjoy while I chug it. Unfortunately, I have to walk into work at some point... 😡 If I was 20 years younger, I'd call in, damn my old fashioned dedication.

Have a good Tuesday! Let's make it the best one we can or cancel it next time. 😉

Maps have been placed at some bus stops by a helpful commuter! Check this one out on the #8 on Cherokee.

These maps help to clarify the bus system for new travelers.

A pair of sweet adoptable kittens at Tenth Life Cat Rescue. The siblings are nearly identical, and were busy wrestling just the minute before I took the picture. #StLouis #CatsOfMastodon #kittens
