The best thing I've seen in a while. Kinzie and Leamington, Chicago.

You can parachute into my district if your politics are good. I don't care at all.

From inside a women’s prison, a domestic violence survivor began collecting others’ stories of abuse. Many prisoners, 156 in all, shared harrowing accounts that shaped a new Oklahoma law.

One of the most annoying parts of Gilded Age 2 is how bad they want us to take rich people seriously, even when they say shit like “I don’t think” or “you should feed your whole brain into the computer so I can sell it back to you”

bambalambalamb

okay, Kat for the ninth, I'm all in. I'm tired of this Biss and Fine bullshit

I voted for Kat yesterday, so excited to see her win. give us this moment of congress at least +feeling+ like we matter - biss and fine aren't that

I just got to season 3 of Industry, and I must say I love how Harper's face is consistently blank and vacant - it's like exposure therapy for people with hostile attribution bias

I'm not down here to see the green river, I'm down here to see the gridlock 😍😍

when you've ignored your laundry for weeks:

visit Edgewater at the northern trailhead, but don't bike on the sidewalk or you'll get arrested - get wrecked on Sheridan instead

here's how I read his phrasing: "... of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is... destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World"

today's intrusive thought: bring my walker to early voting, roll up on bike

great so now Chicago police are going to ask for and get rocket launchers. excellent

sweet cyberpunk shades my man

Local weather lady seems pissed that the weather will continue to be rainy and super concerned about wind on Friday

724 North Harding Avenue

Jacked action hero with goon in headlock, in raspy yet firm voice:

“Oh yeah, graphically sexual, just like you asked, boss”

from local morning news weather forecast: "Today is the day that you get ready for tomorrow" I don't know if this is supposed to be cm affirmation or ominous, feels anxious

I love days where you meet new people, 2 people today, that's wild 💕

a car is not a symbol of freedom; it's a symbol of your government's dereliction of duty to provide basic infrastructure that produces a social good (which most comparable countries have in spades) bc it's not really a government, but rather the functional sockpuppet of a greedy, reckless industry

how is this pattern made in tiles, right and wrong answers welcomed

it's it safe to assume that this company doesn't mind if I use ai to do all their documentation?

gotta say surprised to say I like me my guy that's like "were having fun" and then shows off his poppers

cat was not having it with whatever he saw out the window today, had to draw the blinds before he could slam himself against the window. was he tired of the fog? Who can say...

somebody at the bar with a hat that just says "VHS" - but why not BETA MAX? insecure in your masculinity?

but... Ocean man, take me by the hand Lead me to the land that you understand Ocean man, the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip

😂😂😭😭

We're getting our first season-shift lightning storm tonight out at the lake

yep, sure

that white on the horizon is that fog finally rolling out

that white on the horizon is that fog finally rolling out

Telling Jesus he'll never make it if he keeps being so hostile to wealth. Advising him to moderate his message to appeal to the Galilee suburbs

Sears Tower Zipline

obligatory stolen bike alert, hmu if you see her

fuckers stole my bike again

The time honored conservative axiom "anything I've never personally experienced is fake," applied not just to gender identities, sexualities and non-evangelical religious principles but the very idea of consequences

I love this, and also - don't we already inhabit echo chambers, lacquered in pessimism toward persuasion, at least politically?

I am starting to wonder if people who spend a lot of time talking to LLMs lose their stamina for actual critical analysis because they're so used to having their own priors reflected back at them in the guise of another's voice.

kind of wild that the secretary of defense said he won't tell the American people the longterm costs they're willing to incur, said it was foolish to think they would

I am irrationally irritated by the phrase "if I'm being honest", instead i think "to be honest" or "honestly" is sufficient and more direct and accountable. like, who asked for that fucking "if" and how did that become common phrasing?

I just threw together a website visualizing this ICE contract data! You can browse through the companies and their contracts, and filter them by state micahflee.github.io/ice-contracts/

Lake gon Lake

Every line of this, but especially: “The language provides cover. If it’s chaos, nobody designed it. If it’s unprecedented, nobody planned for it. If it’s erratic, there’s no strategy to expose. Every one of these words takes an intentional project and turns it into a weather event...”

does this count as a lake Michigan forever?

sir, you are mis-characterizing the behavior, mixing up the cause and the symptom, and failing the root cause analysis: capitalism > anxiety by design > fear / paralysis

so I know it's not just fancy people in there but bc of ice all the fancy pre-check people are going to be in line with us pleebs. if instead of fascism, that's their DHS /fascism tipping point that will be the most american mind changer
