Hell yes

Let’s be clear, because I see a lot of people glossing over this. These allegations are of domestic abuse and physical violence. You could get an order of protection based on these allegations. Domestic abuse isn’t about “hitting,” it’s about using violence and coercion to control your partner.

More than two dozen people arrived to face federal agents in five different unmarked vehicles with aftermarket emergency lights. One agent had a Jerusalem cross sticker on the back of his phone, a Christian symbol dating to the Crusades that more recently has been associated with white supremacy.

This morning federal agents hit a woman’s vehicle while chasing and eventually detaining a man, later using a taser on him while pointing tasers and pepper spray at bystanders at Lawrence/Kedzie in Albany Park. Story to come via @chicago.suntimes.com

woke 1 made the mistake of making people think it was problematic to make fun of healing crystals and astrology. woke 2 must be focused on the destruction of white shamanism

i need hell to be real so bad, man

Finally figured how who he reminds me of: seinfeld.fandom.com/wiki/Dan,_Th...

Don't know or really care if it's "feasible" but I sure would love if this man were the mayor. (Very happy to have him as my state senator though!)

every news story is either 30 Rock coded or Connor O’Malley video coded

We just learned last week that Kat was never truly indicted. The grand jury in Chicago returned a no true bill. Prosecutors then had to tell anyone who didn't want an indictment to leave and cajole someone in the hallway until they returned an indictment. Please, go to jury duty and raise hell.

The thing about “Bluesky is a bubble” takes is that they start with the false assumption that social media is our job or some sort of responsibility. This isn’t my job. It’s probably not yours, either. It’s not our responsibility to ruin our days on a Nazi hellsite or to talk to dummies here.

Yes the lake really is that color. Yes it really is that big. Yes we do have beaches with public bathrooms and lifeguards and hot dog stands. Yes winter is worth it.

Actual leftists are never going to vote for Tucker Carlson for anything. Folks can dead that.

Bernie hiring this person was such a stupid move

Today is the 20th birthday of the Bean in Chicago.

Come on!!! What the heck???

frankly I have come to believe techies are illiterate. science fiction isn't about the future, stupid. it's about the current political situation but set in space so no one gets mad. duh!

ABSOLUTELY ZERO THOUGHTS ON THIS

The no-est of comments of all time

there was a 5-year phase out plan, which didn’t even last 3 years before restaurant owners tried to end it. seems incredibly naive to believe delaying another two years is going to change anything other than giving owners a more friendly mayor to end it before it goes into full effect.

i think people are too harsh on bsky because it is actually social media itself that is dying, not any particular site

The amount of angry/bad drivers redirected all the way to my neighborhood right now is crazy. Almost got hit by people rolling through stop signs twice on my run. Thanks to these guys for keeping me safe!!

Now Chicago Police are shutting down the Expressway without advanced notice? How many people will miss flights because of this? This is ridiculous. Seems unlikely that any public official will have the courage to speak up to criticize a police funeral. The worst parts of our system laid bare.

I spend YEARS brainstorming and MONTHS outlining and that IS the work. Zero tolerance for this shit.

Class in the US is entirely a matter of aesthetics now. Rich suburban kids are “country”. Beard Dudes who look like they love IPAs are “working class.” Teachers who make $32,000 a year but have to dress up sort of nice in JCPenney clothes are “elites“. None of these words mean anything anymore.

There’s something especially annoying about being told you’re defective by the raccoon penis guy

You guys have fun arguing about data centers today, but make sure you understand that Google’s explicit, official plan to deal with the fact that the entire US grid cannot meet the electricity demands of these things is to put a miniature nuclear reactor in every one of them by 2030.

Maybe not a generous read but something about the “what’s going on?” in the headline is driving me nuts lol

I could kick Yoda’s ass

happy Great Lakes Awareness Day! please be aware that the Great Lakes are great. thank you.

This is very good

When this is over there should be a law that if you see this guy out and about you’re allowed to pick him up and throw him.

Classic Brandon. Sounds good and gets some attention. Implementation is vague/confusing. Ultimately does nothing.

In Seattle's Pike Place Market, vendors claimed that removing cars would cripple them. Nope. Sales actually rose. Remember: Studies show that biz owners consistently exaggerate how many customers drive and undercount those who walk, bike, or ride transit. Info: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There’s enough suffering in the world

Reads like it was written by Andy Weir

This will be forgotten by Tuesday

Oh was there a shots fired ball on tonight??

I legitimately believe this is one of the largest issues of our era!!

Someone has to tell Alex Jones about Dr. San

HOW HAVE WE HAD TO LISTEN TO THIS INDUSTRY HYPE ITSELF UP FOR FOUR YEARS!?

Happy anniversary of this not happening

this is the literal DEMON being put in charge of infowars and everyone thinks this is just OK???

Mr Jones should be careful. Tim successfully represented himself in a murder trial shortly after this mugshot was taken.

Feel more and more justified being a pure hater of this shit.

Part of pushing back against car culture, driverless or otherwise, is pushing back against the idea that everyone has a right to be dropped off directly in front of their destination.
