The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

I hope everyone who knows her sees this & she never hears the end of it. What an ignorant ant democracy bozo.

The good news is, at least there's never anyone in the passenger seat.

Saving babies from drowning, putting out fires, and bike rescues: there are heroes around every corner of the city.

Glad to see this move forward, still would love if it was 4 stories, as there are already 3.5 story buildings along this corridor, but this is good solid infill housing.

It's always funny when neighbors use "naive" to describe well researched policies & development proposals that have been drafted, especially when the neighbor's assumptions are straight up ignorant.

We have lost so much great local beer in the past 6 months. blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/20/n...

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” #CityMakingMath Some costs aren’t costs.

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

tyranny. the most powerful enemies of our first amendment free speech rights in our nation's history.

That’s touching. Gold medalists are skating a sweater with Johnny Gaudreau’s name on it. Gaudreau, and his brother Matt, were killed by a drunken motorist while riding bikes in August 2024.

Rubio, Vance and Trump claim to be defenders of “western civilization” against enemies from within. We need to oppose not just their very anti-Western values but the entire concept of “Western values,” which is a gift to dictators. Let me explain www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

This is a choice. They could’ve prioritized their funding for this critical mission, not the terrorism they have been inflicting on American citizens.

I just remembered where this game was taking place thanks to that music.

Former #cf97 player Justin Reynolds getting injured in game 1 sucks for SKC

Huuuuugooooooooooo Cuuuuuyyyyperrrrrrs #cf97

This is like the tenth research group using a totally new dataset to reach this same conclusion: building new market-rate housing helps low-income tenants. "These findings demonstrate that housing supply expansions benefit lower-income households through moving chains"

Taking this as a good omen for #cf97

History’s mouth will be forever agape that Donald Trump was not impeached convicted and summarily removed from office.

MLS broadcast team involves question about which of the seven hills in Cincinnati each announcer likes most. One gives a politicians answer, the other gives the basic ass “Mount Adams” answer. A) there are more than 7 B) of the original 7, I am going Price Hill (originally Mount Harrison)*

As someone raised Catholic but who often felt ostracized from the church by bullies like Vance, I cannot express the joy I find in having a Pope that I can so fully identify with.

To friends, Matthew Allison was a likeable part of Boise, Idaho’s electronic music scene. But behind his computer screen, authorities say, he helped lead the Terrorgram Collective, an online network that inspired white supremacist violence. (Published March 2025 with @frontlinepbs.bsky.social)

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending *** As of the end of January, there have been no convictions."

Guys (The segment of my followers who care about MLS that is). They added a Multi-view option to MLS Season Pass & I am going to utilize the heck outta that. #cf97

This is like people who factor in the calories that I eat in a given day as part of the carbon footprint of my bike rides, compared to the carbon footprint of driving the same mileage in a car. My humanity is not measured by the efficiency of my existence as a machine.

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Wild outcome. There will be lessons learned from this.

This case is insane: ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.* The young man they killed had no criminal history. All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs. We don't know officers' names. We don't have footage. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/u...

The three journalists who helped ruin Ava Cordero's life when she tried to stop Epstein in 2006 *currently* work at NBC News, New York Magazine, and News Corp Australia. The one at NBC News is covering... Epstein.

One sleep til #cf97

Sure, in a space ship maybe.

is it good that everyone i know being made to find a use for AI at work is just having to manage the politics of the fact that they're expected to use it whilst fixing all of its mistakes? it seems to have the same impact on the workplace as a bad intern who's only there cause hes the CEOs son

Listening to some disco influenced euro house music while watching curling replay on mute, & guys...this works way too well

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From the Department After Sexual Assault Reports

It's just an absolute slap in the face to Hoosiers that their legislature is pledging to spend billions on a stadium while doing next to nothing to fill in the education and health care deficits left by the Trump admin. I'm thankful to live in a state with better priorities.

Ossoff: "If you live in a major democracy, and the nation's spy chief is showing up at raids on sensitive election sites, something has gone wrong."

As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

Just witnessed a taxi run a red light while turning left through a protected bike lane in Chicago. What intersection am I at?

I shared someone's post about this previously but just want to state how Curbed and Vox Media should be embarassed (if not straight up socially ostracized) for not maintaing their archive. What a fucking disaster. www.archpaper.com/2026/02/curb...

This alone would be a scandal large enough to lead to a secretary being forced to resign by their president under ANY other administration. The GOP politicians who stand by are cowards.

His name was Seaman Bryan K. Lee, 23, of Rancho Cordova, California, he was reported missing from the National Security Cutter Waesche. He is presumed dead after Noem called off his search!

Talking about distracted driving and distracted walking as if they are similar problems is ludicrous. You are simply not going to kill someone by bumping into them while walking!

US Citizenship & Immigration Services is an agency most Americans rarely hear about. It administers the *legal* immigration system. Under Trump, the agency has turned into an enforcement tool in service of the broader crackdown. My latest @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

Guys I found the best Epstein Files email. The one that illuminates an elite class that's cocooned themselves into an unaccountable shell of wealth and privilege, fighting to protect their secrets and offenses. I could write a novel about this email. prospect.org/2026/02/17/e...
