"...exemption for landlords in owner-occupied buildings with fewer than seven units and the removal of a provision barring landlords from charging both a security deposit and a move-in or move-out fee." Those are quite the concessions. 💀

We really need urban planning that includes better pedestrian routes, bicycle paths, and public transportation. Why the fuck are we dumping money into a dying/dead industry? Transportation should be a public good, not a private enterprise.

Most the responses I get from AI start with "You're absolutely right!". It's especially jarring getting it again with my second prompt, "Critique the answer you provided, because (so-and-so is factually incorrect or something like that)".

Gov. Pritzker wants 25th Amendment invoked to remove President Trump from office over Iran threats
Gov. JB Pritzker joined more than 50 House Democrats — and an unlikely alliance of conservatives calling for the president's removal, including former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, former MAGA ally and radio host Alex Jones and conservative commentator Candace Owens.

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party. We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

The problem isn’t that these are bad ideas. The problem is they’re mostly existing law/policy. Want to get serious? At least mandate accountability. Ex: Revoke qualified immunity. Firings. Demotions. Suspensions. Loss of OT. Kicked back to basic training. Or a more mainstream idea: Abolish ICE.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce. As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies. This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

Could be argued that denser communities need to pour more money and resources into public transportation. But yes, parking spots with Level 1 chargers is plenty; Level 2 is luxury.
