Absolutely roasted.

These stops are not "at odds with the mission." The mission is to meet Miller's arrest quotas, to show that the administration can and will exact revenge on regions that do not comply in advance, and to create chaos to be used to justify stripping rights. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/24/f...

B*vin* is desperate for his agents to be assaulted. He will continue to fabricate attack stories out of locals following, filming, & yelling at them, until he becomes so desperate that he false-flags an attack & frames someone. Also, "commercial artillery shell fireworks," now available at Boomland

"Soros is going to go broke."

If they teargas and pepper ball No Kings today, Chicago Open House is gonna be so understaffed tomorrow.

Academia has discovered that students need 'source verification' and 'ethical reasoning' skills the humanities taught before being gutted for job training. One admires such innovation: reinventing the wheel after melting down the original for scrap metal.

Holy cow, AI is going to create an even more unhinged version of Norma & Normann. Dickinson at least provided Belskie with a clean data set, as questionably representative of humanity as it was. academic.oup.com/chicago-scho... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_B...

Are John C*t*nz*ra and D*ante S*rv*n !CE agents yet?

one single step that would do a lot to improve reputation of LLMs would be for Google to abandon AI Mode like they do with all of their other products

In their defense, the adults with power are telling them that this thing that lets them turn their brain off is the key to their future

(No shade. Wikipedia was built by feral autists, as were most online resources of any value.)

last time I'm retweeting this post but it did remind me of this quote from John Bingham, America's Forgotten Framer

More than 1/3 of Capricans are dating cylons.

I'm sure every decorated general is looking to close out their career by overseeing their newly all-white platoon deployed to Mag Mile to tear-gas tourists lined up outside the Jellycat pop-up

These requirements are designed to get rid of men who will likely refuse to follow unconstitutional and illegal orders--older officers, black officers, etc. Men who would serve as whistleblowers to protect the American populace.

Seriously, though. I don’t know if that operation was still classified or if it even happened and neither does he.

I am going to make a million dollars marketing a "fashy flapper" costume that slightly fudges Unity Mitford's age.

A&E is leaving money on the table by not making DIGITAL HOARDERS where an army of people come into your house over the weekend and make you emotionally break down because they keep asking why you need 63 tabs open on your browser

Do they believe their own lies about what Chicago is?

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Matthew 26:36-44

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, beach to sandbar, revetment to sediment, brown rat to beaver, rabbit to river otter, chicken to walleye, pigeon to merganser, ramps to wild rice, urbs in horto to urbs lacus. The golf course grass withers, the hostas fall, but the lake laps forever, Amen.

A Halloween version of "wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger."

Ok did Frank Miller write the script for the ICE recruitment ad targeting disgruntled CPD?

What you will end up with is someone writing a set of bullet points that gen AI turns into a report, and someone else taking this report and getting gen AI to turn it into a set of bullet points.

The Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago wants to show your their goat, see? Register at mwrd.org/virtual-tour (a real registration link, not...that) Their tours are so much more fun than sewer & water treatment education events have any right to be.

Some amazing switches between passive and active voice here

Animaniacs: Iron(y) Mountain Our heroes live in the empty water tanks of a depleted mine far below Paramount Peak, venturing each lightless day into the tunnels where the studios have amalgamated 130 yrs of film archives, financial data, business correspondence, and unproduced scripts.

Wait, is dangerous transgender ideology that extension cord with two male ends?

This Halloween, decorate your home and welcome trick 'r treaters with dyspeptic late-career Clarence Darrow.

Ok the guy on the ad who asks his phone to dress him should absolutely stay off the matchmaking apps and keep dating his phone in the absence of his mother

Ok I knew it was going to be stupid, but Tylenol?

On a cool melancholy spring or autumn morning, when the humidity is perfect, the door hing squeaks a pitch-perfect rendition of the recurring squeal in Jump Around by House of Pain, and for the next hour I vacillate between rising to the top and packing it in.

Why do all new electric cars sound like Brian Eno is driving by on a high end vacuum cleaner

former kids who read too many books and didnt know how to pronounce the words you learned gang say hey

We appreciate good hater energy

It'll be *like* you're a #1 fan and the sports star will be *like* A.J. Pierzynski, but you'll actually be someone else and so will he.

Perhaps, in the manner that some Evangelicals "pray a hedge of protection" against Satan in an interpretation of a passage of Job, Chicago should pray a hedge of ramps against the President. There's already a decent hedge of buckthorn around Cook County.

age 15: Computers are amazing! I'm going to do amazing things with computers! age 45: explaining to the fourth person this week why Chat GPT is not a replacement for google or the library or friends

I thought the first test of the IRS's weakened enforcement position on the Johnson amendment would be a case wherein a Protestant church endorsed a 2026 congressional candidate, but maybe it will be a case wherein a sketchy Buddhist temple is beefing with an aspiring Popeyes.

Cafeteria constitutionalism.

After months of drivers treating the STOP sign at that intersection as a speed bump, drivers are now treating the new ROAD CLOSED sign as a STOP sign.

in 2020 the "COVID is no big deal" crowd was very quick to point out that lots of people who died of COVID (or "with COVID") had pre-existing conditions or weaknesses that "really" killed them and i think you're going to see the same thing with people who go crazy due to chatbot interactions

Local teen killed in hailstorm, distracted from flying debris by internet search for "half dollar size."

It trains people to *not expect any clues* about whether something is true or not. It's like an instagram filter for making incoherent garbage and shitposting look exactly like real research. and that is BAD for our collective information environment

The LLM actively reduces the available context for the information it provides, which is bad. But even worse, it *trains people to accept information without context*

If something is incorrect on Wikipedia, it can be sourced, traced, disputed, fixed. If it's wrong in the LLM, it's just...wrong. It's not a fact explicitly stored somewhere, it's just a string of words generated by a probability map

A key difference here is that while either can be incorrect, the structure of Wikipedia *creates context* and the structure of LLMs *destroys context* Wikipedia has linked sources and an edit history showing where information came from and who added it when An LLM just generates text
