Back in 1951, Chicago Public Schools had a very rah-rah civics textbook where the very first lesson was the Grid.
Blue book entitled Chicago. Copyright page if said book. 1951. Image of Chicago’s Grid, a bit abstracted and without waterways or diagonal streets. Image of intersection of State and Madison,

Haskell Wexler didn’t embed his actress in the middle of the 1968 DNC protests and get tear gassed so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable.”

Shin Godzilla's theme of a stuffy political old guard being both unprepared and unwilling to handle apocalyptic disaster and effectively forcing a proactive new group to take the reins is, ummm, pretty timely.

People should consider that a consensus around treating diversity as “bullshit” contributed to an environment in which the court is comfortable doing this politically. Maybe.

It's not just the Voting Rights Act. On Friday, the Supreme Court finished the Republican Party's quest to erase every tangible legislative achievement of the civil rights movement But we've been here before.

When the Supreme Court dealt the final blow to the Voting Rights Act, it completed its mission to erase the tangible results of the Civil Rights Movement.

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"

Harris accused Altman of being the “Goebbels of the Trump administration.” But on Tuesday, Harris said by email: “It was late and I had a few too many martinis so I misspoke when I said Goebbels… I should’ve said Friedrich Flick.”

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Thank you so much to the 150+ riders who came out in the cold temps and slush to honor the life of Alex Pretti, a fellow biker, to our marshals for keeping everyone safe, and to @babski.bsky.social for organizing.

every time i use this crosswalk, i'm always so thankful for how it slows cars speeding toward or away from lake street. i had no idea it took someone being killed to get it installed. utterly heartbreaking the current city budget wants to ensure it happens again somewhere else in the city.

remember how like nine years ago trump saying this exact thing in a private oval office meeting was a five-alarm fire with NPR and NYTimes and CNN grimly reporting that POTUS called some countries "shitholes" and our institutions, i don't know, cared? now he just says it openly at a rally. rad.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally. And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

dumb question for @starlinechicago.bsky.social or other metra experts - do you know why metra electric doesn't stop directly adjacent to the flagstop stations? the conductor has to unlock the gate, let people in & out, and relock the gate. which is inconvenient on a good day let alone in the rain
metra train conductor relocks a chain at a flagstop in Chicago. view is from inside the metra train.

Western Avenue is really funny. Hey what if the longest road in our city sucked absolute shit? What if we had a major road that made you want to end your life regardless of transportation option? What if said road had parts of it had express lanes and flyover ramps? Honestly iconic
