A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

Encountered an older lady in the woods, collecting materials for her art. She was looking in particular for yellows, and I observed it was a good time for yellows. "Yes," she said, as she was leaving. "You can always find yellows... to the bitter end."

my wife telling me 20 minutes before we have to leave that she’s decided she wants to go to her 20 year HS reunion isn’t how I would have preferred this to go down, but I suppose this is why she married an extrovert.

It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

Remember when the City Council banned counter-flow bus lanes in 1990 bc they were being their usual racist selves even though a single counter-flow bus lane could carry more people than every other lane combined? With the price and shortages of diesel now is the time to repeal this ordinance
CONTRAFLOW BUS LANES IN CHICAGO: SAFETY AND TRAFFIC IMPACTS
Contraflow bus lanes were installed on the downtown portions of four Chicago streets in 1980 and 1981. They were installed as a part of a federally mandated air quality improvement program and also to increase bus patronage by improving east-west bus service reliability across the central business district. Since their installation there has been public concern about the pedestrian safety aspects of the bus lane operation as well as increased traffic congestion on the remaining lane street space. Regarding vehicular congestion, it was found that nonbus traffic did travel somewhat more slowly with the installation of the lanes. However, in terms of bus operations, there was a significant improvement both in average travel speeds (22 percent increase) and in service reliability, which resulted in annual cost savings to the Chicago Transit Authority of about $400,000. Patronage studies indicate that during peak periods the contraflow lanes move more people in one lane per street than are moved on the remaining through traffic lanes, and in only one-tenth of the number of vehicles. Concerning the safety of the bus lane operation, the actual accident data indicate that although there was an initial jump in bus-pedestrian accidents, these accidents have now returned to less than one additional accident per month on each street, and that there has been a 19 percent overall decrease in all pedestrian accidents and a 52 percent decrease in all bus accidents. The primary conclusion is that the bus lanes are operating in a safe and effective manner, and it is recommended that they be retained.9-20-020 Reversible lanes and contra-flow bus lanes.
   (a)   The commissioner of transportation, subject to the review and approval of the executive director of emergency management and communications, is hereby authorized to determine and designate streets, parts of streets, or specific lanes thereon upon which vehicular traffic shall proceed in one direction during one period and the opposite direction during another period of the day, and he shall place and maintain appropriate markings, signs, barriers or other devices to give notice thereof and to divide traffic traveling in opposite directions in shifting lanes. Contra-flow bus lanes shall only be established upon the approval of the city council.
   (b)   It shall be unlawful for any person to drive any vehicle in violation of such markings, signs, barriers or other devices so placed in accordance with this section.
(Added Coun. J. 7-12-90, p. 18634; Amend Coun. J. 12-11-91, p. 10832; Amend Coun. J. 12-7-05, p. 64870, § 1.9)

Genghis says, “yeeooo that’s fire”
