Everything bagelism comes to coach houses in Chicago. Pretty black-pilling. Once something like this becomes law, I think it’s harder politically to roll back than it is to pass in the first place.

Lacking bus stop infrastructure and the removal of downtown benches has fueled a guerilla bench movement, bringing together a new coalition to build and place wooden benches across the city.

48 homes will replace a surface parking lot at North and Clybourn chicagoyimby.com/2025/09/full...

It’s seriously so impressive that Ruben Gallego won Arizona on the same ballot as Trump. Same with Slotkin and Baldwin. We have a lot to learn from this crew.

RT @rubashkin.bsky.social Missoula smokejumper Sam Forstag, a local union leader and wildland firefighter, is considering running against GOP Rep. Ryan Zinke in MT-01 (Trump+12, Tester+1), per 3 sources familiar. No decision expected before November.

"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," an agent can be heard saying in the video. "Hey, I can give it through the door," a man is heard saying in response. "You can do it right here," the agent says, pointing to the ground in front of himself. on.nbcboston.com/3phHyWE

Posts like this are so misleading. Most of the cost of electricity is the grid itself. It’s not free.

It would be awesome for the mayor to crack down on bike theft. I suspect it’s a small group of organized thieves that account for most stolen bikes

There is something that just feels so right about tv shows where Stanley Tucci explores Italy.

If you say enough good things about Trump he will just bailout your entire country www.reuters.com/world/americ...

NIMBY zoning in coastal cities is a subsidy to the South. It drives up housing costs in the best, most productive places,and displaces people to second-tier cities in shithole red states, thereby propping up their backwater economies.

This is my love letter to my favorite product: electric cargo bikes www.theverge.com/transportati...

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

This is the best feature of any data application I've used in my 10 year career in analytics. All those hours of hard work documenting my data warehouse are now paying massive dividends. There have been multiple times where my jaw actually dropped at this agent's work. hex.tech/blog/introdu...

People are yearning for institutions and media to have a morsel of a spine against this regime

If we continue to let crypto become normalized in finance, without the century+ of regulation that has been written in blood for banking, we are going to face a real disaster at some point www.coindesk.com/markets/2025...

The easiest way to make new friends in my neighborhood is to wear a Harris Walz shirt at a tavern. Within seconds, you will be getting comments like “she was right about everything”.

FIVE HOURS of Charlie Kirk Memorial in the midst of an NFL FOOTBALL SUNDAY??? lmfao this seals it, conservatives gave up football in the national divorce. the gridiron is left-coded now

When we don’t build enough housing in the places where land value is high, everyone else suffers

I want to buy one and replace the diesel generators at festivals in Chicago

There aren’t enough people wearing this marina city sweater in Chicago architectural-icons.com/products/mar...

BYD just announced a 14.5 Mwh battery container, more than double the industry standard. They claim it delivers a 21% lifecycle cost improvement. Beast mode stuff. www.ess-news.com/2025/09/19/b...

It’s crazy to think that for the first 16 years of my life I was completely dependent on my parents to go anywhere beyond my neighborhood. When I have kids, I don’t want to be responsible for that, for that long. Kids should have more independence.

Instead of requiring calculus we should require a capstone econometrics paper to graduate high school 😔

So hard to focus on anything while our country commits suicide

Holy shit, H1-B holders that are out of the country right now have to return to America before 12:01am Sunday or they will be subjected to a $100k entry fee. People in India don’t have enough time to do that. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm Tear gas is an abortifacient. When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby. The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since. Horror movie stuff.

For some people, robotaxis feel like the symbol of the urban future. For me, it's the pneumatic garbage collection.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

Great post from @lovering.bsky.social on new nuclear construction costs that have surfaced from China It turns out that it is possible to build the plants with a positive learning curve jlovering.substack.com/p/new-data-o...

Another Illinois universal basic income lawsuit just dropped. This one is interesting too! www.si.com/mlb/cubs/new...

I'll be at the @abundanthousingil.bsky.social happy hour tonight, which is at Big Bar on Wacker. By coincidence (or not 😉), it is also the Illinois Municipal League's annual conference! Come by from 5-8pm www.eventbrite.com/e/yimby-happ...

We are going to inject sulphur into the stratosphere to stop this. It’s only a matter of when, and who will do it.

Hate to break it to everyone but his widow is going to run for president now. And in his own words, he’s a moderate compared to her.

Dallas got a radial line before Chicago?? Nice trains too!! www.trains.com/pro/passenge...

Happy #ConstructionAppreciationWeek The tallest wet cooling tower in the world has topped out at Lianjiang nuclear power plant in China. The plant will be home to 6 American-designed reactors, and it will generate enough power for 28 million households. We can, and should, build these at home! 🔌💡

Just arresting opposition lawmakers, nothing to see here

And now their electric utility is collapsing. I for one do not want to live in that dystopia. Call me a macro-grid guy, I don't care. www.economist.com/finance-and-...

We should be covering our cities in emergency vehicle lanes

Robotaxis don’t scale

An unfathomable tragedy. Kids deserve to be able to walk to school safely in Chicago.

Only a few more months to qualify for a 30% tax credit on battery-equipped appliances like this induction range from Copper Home copperhome.com/products/cha...

A big scary number that actually isnt much at all www.wpr.org/news/microso...

The CA01 super module was just installed at Lufeng unit 1 in China. It took just 204 days after the first pour of concrete at the site. For reference, at Vogtle Unit 3 in America this milestone took 879 days. Positive learning curve! 🔌💡 world-nuclear-news.org/articles/sup...

We can't sacrifice the future of our city at the alter of the automobile
