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! mwrd.org/what-we-do/t...

RCV whennnnnnn

Oh yay! Expansion of the police state and acquiescence to the fascist pos will keep us safe!

me rush hour biking mic'd up:

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.

I wish it was Bike the Drive everyday :'(

Why would Big Tech make a thing that breaks laws??? The great Lovers of regulations and laws?? I feel BETRAYED by Big Tech! 😭 😭 😭

Oh it can keep getting worse? dammit

new: chicago’s 2026 budget opened the door to video gambling in the city’s bars and restaurants—but don’t expect to find a slot machine at your local dive anytime soon. via @smelendez.bsky.social

I wanna know which member bought the most tickets in 2025 at the @davistheater.bsky.social and how many they bought

I wonder if this pilot program will find that people do indeed pee and poop. Let's give it a couple of years...

Who would have thunk

I will be so sad if my favorite room in the ENTIRE art institute goes away :( www.wbez.org/architecture...

Woohoo! Divvy was the first Lyft-operated market in the US to get this perk -- its been a game changer in Chicago for nearly two years now!

I'm sorry.... And alders want this back? What a joke.

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. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

All these "superpowers" going to war just end up stuck in quagmires....only thing they're good at is committing war crimes.

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. ¡¡¡!!!

“I have days in the summertime when I take the whole day and I just ride through Chicago. I'll start in Uptown or West Ridge and I'll go all the way out to Beverly. And those are some of my favorite rides.” 🧵

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

If you do *anything* good for people then all the businesses and millionaires will leave and we'll be left in ruin so we can't do *anything* good for people.... Supposedly

IDOT: "When people think of sustainability they think GHG emissions and carbon. I think recycling bins, low emissions vehicles, printer toner." Us: Absolutely cooked.

What in the actual fuck

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.

How about we automate our non-existent train platform doors first.

Bro, trust me, this time the free market WILL solve our problems. Bro, trust me.

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.

How did this become "restaurant week", its just a list of restaurants and their menus. No uniformity at all!

Tesla taxis are also in Chicago. So glad Chicago legislators are doing absolutely nothing to regulate these death machines on our streets.

Breakfast host: what do you like for breakfast? Me: Chilaquiles, pancakes, maple syrup, eggs (runny), crispy potatoes, jam spread, caneles, cheeses (hard and soft) (love a gouda), coffee (black), olives, and and and

Borders and walls inside our city serve to divide us.

Seeing Metro/BRT maps like this makes me wanna isdoghbdsfliugkfhbfsd

This is going to revolutionize travel in the midwest

Chicago divvy access with ventra card when??????? @davidpowe.bsky.social

I am the "we shouldn't do this" voice in the room and it's so funny to see so many people on board with having an improv comedy group create the slides for our board

This would revolutionize travel in the Midwest

I'm sorry but if you're gonna sign up to be a performer for the state, you can't roll your eyes when you need to do special screening for my film. You're getting paid to perform security theater!

Reminds me of this k&p sketch youtu.be/B46km4V0CMY

Watching French people get annoyed when their server in Mexico doesn't understand what they're trying to say in English.... Qué ironía

What a terrible framing

i'm baffled by all the people in the replies to posts about the spy doorbells asking for alternatives. like... the alternative is a regualr fucking doorbell with no camera in it. or a door knocker. get you a weird gargoyle guy! you dont need a camera!
