Pope Leo: "Every boat that arrives does not bring only migrants; it brings with it a question: what world have we built, if so many brothers must risk death to seek life?"

They're literally addicted to Twitter. It's more addictive than heroin.

part of my problem with the way you use online is that it doesn't seem like you're having fun

Barry Bonds The man was playing on a different level than anyone else.

oh i see maggie haberman and jonathan swan have a new book out, time to see the stories they kept out of the newspaper so they could juice book sales. again.

My entire LinkedIn feed is about AI in education, and the main 'argument' from the pro-AI side is more of a demand, and the demand is that educators change their standard to stop asking students to know things.

Here's how much education funding is in Illinois' state budget for the 2027 fiscal year. blockclubchi.co/4okvgJN

#BREAKING Transcripts from grand jury proceedings that led to the "Broadview Six" indictment have been made public. Here is the first, from Oct. 9: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

There was a time when the press wouldn't both-sides the issue of a Nazi death's head tattoo

This is a complete lie. FIFA had previously decided that Soldier Field is not up to international tournament standards, and Chicago wasn't eligible to host, regardless of what Rahm wanted.

We replaced textbooks with "ed tech." Half the time my kids need to study for a test, they can't access the information they were taught in class bc it's all fragmented behind various apps. If you want your kids to retain any information, you have to re-teach at home. This is where we are at.

OK! So my suspicion here is that the role of AI in this fiasco is overexaggerated because the company is trying to find a scapegoat that isn't "Korean Starbucks is run by conservatives and Korean conservatives' brains have rotted from the inside out."

We need more rich people with normal interests like "your movie sounds neat" instead of, like, white fertility rates.

GPUs are not an investment asset, they're more like a consumable good. Using them as part of an AI data center depreciates them and they eventually break.

Only fitting, because Elon has long complained about the woke origins of Equity Inclusion.

Man, a lot of Bears fans don't know where the Giants, Jets, Rams, Chargers, Cowboys, 49ers, Dolphins, and Cardinals play.

ALERT it's going to be nice Saturday evening which makes it possible, even likely, that there will be a PERSON TAKEOVER of multiple Chicago beaches

Would Tesla ever do this? Could they?

This is going to kill for-profit schools first, so I doubt it will go anywhere

He REALLY hates Chicago.

people were reliably apprised of the existence of Moby Dick, and the havoc he had made

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

Oh, you can't write a 5-page book report without AI? I fucking wrote 5-page book reports without having read the goddamn book. Get your finger out of your ass.

Good. Indiana can pay for the stadium. Fans from Indiana had no problems getting to Soldier Field, and the Hammond site is right by the highway and far from Loop traffic.

Of course we talked about the Vikings’ toxic QB room. As @rotopat.bsky.social said, if you’re JJ McCarthy, you simply cannot lose a PR battle to *Kyler Murray.*

this is the kind of headline you write if you spend way too much time online. this isn't an unpopular opinion except amongst certain online communities. you're fighting ghosts homie.

Data centers were over 50 years old when the first LLMs came online, and many of you had them for neighbors and never noticed. Most are still not used by AI companies. The environmental regulations were relaxed five years ago and killed last year. When did your problems start?

Look at this ugly coin they're using as an example. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

Imagine getting arrested by ICE then siding with them

Big let down, to be honest

Florida... no state income tax... no property tax? Gov DeSantis going for it

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

Imagine being the person who cut both Taxi Driver and Star Wars, two of the best edited films ever made! Her brilliant career feels infuriatingly brief, cut short by the stress of working with one of the most difficult friend groups in Hollywood history.

Far from the worst thing we found while reporting on Lt. Daniel Miller, this complaint from a white man stood out as a particularly insidious way for Miller to push his apparent ideology: sorry man I have to give you this ticket because DEI. This stop also was not in his jurisdiction.

… then get the Indiana windfalls “only” after the site is cleared for building, environmentally This is my hope The Cubs did renovations, the Bulls/Hawks built a whole building, neither gig anything close to what the Bears *DEMAND* Not one nickel, not one Let Indiana eat it and the cost

NEW, from @zoetakaki.bsky.social & @peoplesfabric.bsky.social: A Forest Park cop won't be charged by North Riverside police over an incident captured on video where, while off duty and wearing a Trump jersey, he yanked a terrified young woman from her car and arrested her—for hitting a curb.

Happy 529 College-Planning Day! ...all you financial planning nerds...

This is Daisy. She doesn't have time for all this pet gate nonsense. Has things to do and places to pee. 13/10 (IG: toyobsessed_and_unimpressed)

This sounds like a well thought out plan.

So everything is going to go through DFW, ATL, and MIA? Most airports in right wing areas don't have facilities set up to handle large numbers of international flights.
