my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

“.. OpenAI spent more on marketing and equity options for its employees than it made in revenue in the first half of 2025. That single fact sums up where we are in the AI cycle more neatly than anything we could ever write, so we’ll just end there.” @financialtimes.com www.ft.com/content/908d...

The colors are already starting to turn in the Chicago area. Peak autumn colors are predicted to arrive in less than 3 weeks.

Begging people to stop amplifying posts that start with "BREAKING:" when the author isn't a journalist and/or there's no way to verify the accuracy of the information

It's very visible in media but people are being fired at a high rate in basically every industry as far as I can tell and seniority has no impact on this process. I can't help but remember all those think pieces about how millennials need to 'have careers' and 'show some loyalty' to their employers.

African Solar roll-out. Hardly needs a caption. And also there's Morocco & the planned power cable connecting the UK grid to the huge wind farms on its Atlantic coast. Shifting geo-politics & $$$s as renewables eat the FF market. Thanks to Hannah Ritchie.

RIP to a real one. So rare these days...

“We believe that in the near future, half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life” 🥴🥴

Y’all I only need 100 more Chicagoans to sign this petition in support of allowing ADUs citywide

Life may be chaotic, but it’s important to take a moment when the weather is calm to make or check your emergency supply kit. Make sure your food and water are fresh and all your supplies are working. If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready. #NationalPreparednessMonth weather.gov/safety

good morning to the Lake Michigan ducks

💯 The misinformation here is getting out of hand. A Community Notes feature is desperately needed, but in the meantime @skywatch.blue labeler is pretty handy

😬😬

Chicago, architectural mixology of the highest order

And, btw, the techology you build will reflect that. When someone builds for people, it shows.

I spy a Casio!⌚ 🕵🏾‍♀️ Also, lmao at Bill Ackman catching strays...

We got big project out today about Chicago’s lead pipes. The news is we mapped them all. The big idea is that Chicago residents are living through a public health crisis, and we wanted to help them visualize their place in it. @grist.org @wbez.org @insideclimatenews.org @chicago.suntimes.com

What I learned from Prince and Muhammad Ali was that it’s possible to love yourself so much that everybody else does, too.

in 4 weeks, Chicago City Council will vote on whether to end the ban on ADUs citywide. sign this petition (once!) in support of allowing ADUs citywide, please – actionnetwork.org/petitions/su...

The Great Lakes is a water-rich region, holding some 20% of the planet’s surface freshwater. A new report explores how unprecedented levels of consumption by heavy water users, like data centers, could lead to water shortages, even in the Great Lakes. to.wttw.com/4mPwM4I

And it goes far beyond politics. This is a huge part of the failure of modern tech. Blockchain and crypto and AI are all about making bubbles based on straight up lying about what the tech can do.

the Chicago sunken boat recovery account is fascinating

"While the deals often produce big payouts for founders and AI leaders, they can leave investors, other employees and the remaining company in limbo." A doggy dog world indeed... www.cnbc.com/2025/08/19/h...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but Amtrak is having a flash sale for fall travel right now

At #Fedicon last weekend, I had the opportunity to present my thoughts on the open social web, what we're building at @anew.social, and what it's taught us about building for people, not platforms. Our aim is The Last Network Effect. The path to that is building bridges, not walls. Check it out:

Now why— smdh

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

Help?

On average, 86% of all named tropical systems in the Atlantic occur after August 2, and the first hurricane doesn't form until August 11. We have a long season to go. Prepare now – Learn how at weather.gov/safety/hurricane

imo, if someone believes some races or ethnicities are genetically inferior to others, that person has revealed a weakness of mind and character that casts extreme if not irrefutable doubt on their other ideas. why would i expect them to use more rigor on, eg, housing than they do on human nature?
