pinned post!
My life's accomplishments include being a part of a nebulous group which organizes mass illegal bicycle rides to clog up roads during rush hour traffic. It may be the accomplishment I'm most proud of.

Unsurprisingly, I prefer a map. And since our wastewater and stormwater systems are combined in Chicago... Once reservoir levels hit 75%, we're likely gonna get poop dumped into our river. So stop doing laundry or dishes or taking showers on super rainy days!

On one hand...maybe we should stop paving over our cities with asphalt and concrete and start building bioswales and separate our stormwater and wastewater systems to stop flooding issues. On the other hand...let's just flood our crosswalks and let that be the solution.

Chicago moves closer to video gambling in city bars, restaurants
The 2026 municipal budget opened the door to slot machines in city bars and restaurants—but some doubt the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Will Art Institute expansion leave Louis Sullivan’s Chicago Stock Exchange room in the cold?
No decision has been made, but the museum says "the east side of the building — where the Trading Room is located — represents the area where gallery space could increase the most."

In Congress, I won’t just be fighting Donald Trump. My vision is to reverse the decades of policy violence, complacency, and austerity that got us here and directly hurt our communities. The 9th District deserves better than the same tired approach. We deserve a new generation of leadership.

Gavin Newsom has no core convictions and will say whatever he thinks gives him the greatest political advantage, which actually makes him a valuable barometer of how dramatically the politics of this issue have shifted in just a few years.

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else: “What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”

What we actually need to do is fund our libraries. When I was in grade school, my public library had an online tutoring service that I absolutely loved. Always hated it when they wouldn't solve my homework problem for me but teach me how to solve a similar problem. ¡¡¡!!!

One of the things I expect to see as Waymo deployment goes wider and faces more revenue pressure is that they’ll turn up aggressiveness to reduce travel times and compete with human rideshare, which will lead to more bad/unexpected behavior

In an attempt to control the public narrative around Chicago police, CPD’s communications/pr budget has increased 700 percent over a decade. Meanwhile, CPD’s refusal to answer Freedom of Information Act requests has resulted in 200 public records litigation cases & cost the public $3.1 million.

TLDR: Jaime Andrade is pushing Facebook ads out that are paid for by Draft Kings, which is pumping millions into races across the country to influence gaming regulation, including dedicated funds for "electing dependable conservatives" and this was easily discoverable in a matter of minutes.
