We got overnight E/W bus routes on 87th, 79th, 63rd, 55th, and then......Madison??

lol

*BLAAAAAAAAAAAARE*

Our legacy infrastructure is one of our top strengths as a region, and we need to get better at sweating our assets to truly unlock Chicagoland’s potential. The CrossTowner vision is already 96% complete. Finish the Final Four Percent: #BuildTheTunnel 🔗 BuildTheTunnelChicago.org

But I was assured by transit advocates on blue sky dot com that VMT never goes down when you make transit free.

The YIELD sign here means you have to let the bus back into traffic the instant they put on their left blinker to leave a bus stop. Chicago should implement (and enforce) a similar rule.

Driving on DLSD is so fucked and nobody in charge gives a single shit. Roadside memorials are popping up now...three in the median, one at Hayes.

PHOTOS: Deep Tunnel has never reached its limit. After weekend's heavy rains, it’s almost full. Here's what that means.

Chicago transit has some catching up to do. The good news is almost all the infrastructure is in place! We mainly need to just run more trains on the existing tracks!

Maybe there should be a crash barrier between the FREEWAY and the PARK??

This before/after is pretty striking.

Well, we may have lost but at least we look like we cheated

Flanders is changing the road signage to be more in line with international norms and reduce confusion. Except they are not changing anything in Brussels and Wallonia. F did not even discuss this with B. So now we get different types of signs in 1 country for the sake of clarity and harmony

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

Out of 211 national federations in FIFA, 8 have won the World Cup. Germany, Italy, and Argentina have combined to win exactly half; Brazil has won almost a quarter by themselves

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

Some good USA soccer news.

Or as we might say today: for every pair of captions you write over a muscular white and black arm, there is something you can write over their clasped hands

pausa de humiliation

Every time the city builds like ⅓ of a mile of completely car free infrastructure, it's immediately swarmed yet nobody in power around here every seems to think "maybe we should build more of this" and always "how do we stop people from using this public asset"

Maybe they should have announced it more than a few hours before the match?

One weird trick to avoid parking tickets, speed camera tickets, and red light tickets

This is part of a pattern of claiming a massive construction project will improve things for cyclists and then somehow that doesn't materialize. - Riverwalk constructed with bike funds, then bikes banned - New DLSD / LFT bridges at 41st/43rd, locked - Obama Center paths, bikes banned

hell yeah some apparatus of the city is setting up a watch party tonight (starting at 6 pm, 7 pm kickoff) for USA v Belgium in Daley Plaza, and even closing three of the surrounding streets to cars

You're laughing... I can't withdraw my Bonk from Kraken and you're laughing?

Saw a motorcyclist hit an old woman at top speed. Blood and arms everywhere. Had snails for dinner.

data visualization is my passion.

<clears throat> assuming the USMNT are the only international soccer team to benefit from FIFA corruption is yet another example of centering the imperialist American experience at the expense of the rest of the world. learn about FIFA's proud global history of shady dealings. do the work!

Current* conditions near Chicago, IL:

I think AI could easily be a bubble in that some assets are overvalued but I don’t think it’s a bubble in a way where we’re going to undiscovered linear algebra and dismantle the data centers over it.

Is this result known?

Pochettino should bench Balogun voluntarily and win without him.

No one will miss three parked cars.

I haven’t seen so many ineffective crosses in Mexico since Hernán Cortés couldn’t convert the Aztecs in 1519

This was the most fun to watch match of the tournament so far.

Oh, there’s an old French joke: German guy gets lost, and he asks for directions, and he says to the Frenchman running the gas station, what’s the fastest way to Paris, and the man replies, well usually you guys go through Belgium

This is what the World Cup tournament rules say about hydration breaks, btw

I heard a BBC commentator who is here to cover the World Cup saying he was surprised that all of these Mexicans had traveled up to the U.S. to cheer on their team in cities where they aren’t even playing. Who’s gonna tell him?

It’s 43 minutes past midnight. This is downtown Oslo.

if you, a pedestrian, walk across the bike lane AT ANY TIME, i swear to god i will modulate my speed in such a way that you are unharmed and unbothered. my beautiful pedestrian child. i will love and cherish you until the day you die

Above and beyond the fact that cars don’t belong in the parks to begin with, with the incredible amounts of rain we’ve had lately it doesn’t take much for a car to cause some serious damage to unpaved areas. CPD (both of them) need to take this way more seriously.

Perfect ad placement, no notes 10/10

Here is another batch of letters from the Chicago Tribune about bike lanes. The people are clamoring for safe, vibrant streets! www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/04/l...
