Hang on, why *is* it good for three people to own as much wealth as half the country and live like cartoon supervillains while they make everyone else's lives miserable?

Was gonna say. That smile doesn't say love, it says "I'm gonna kill you in your sleep"

Updates from my noon walk:

1. The squirrels in my neighborhood are getting *chubby*, and one came right up to me and sniffed my shoe

2. The giant skeleton on the next block is now wearing a Pilgrim costume and holding a big turkey leg, so I guess it's staying up another month

if you're a fisherman in the caribbean this man has decided that he gets to decide if you live or die. this man

ugh they’ve made this place hell

It’s extremely frustrating that CPD’s role isn’t the number one issue the press are grilling the mayor about.

In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here

In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together "Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

Sorry to do litmus tests but I want candidates who understand and say out loud that the big tech industry is a hive of evil charlatans who get rich pumping poison into the world

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Tonight's videos include Halloween hangover, the joys of homeownership, and transportation safety demonstrations

"Police dishonesty, even on the stand and under oath, is so common that it has its own name (“testilying”), and it has forced prosecutor offices to create what are called “Brady Lists” of officers they will not put on the stand out of fear they’ll commit perjury."

Fourteen suburban moms arrested in sit-in protest outside Broadview ICE facility The mothers sat in a circle on Beach Street on Friday to “demand an end” to the immigration raids that have swept through the Chicago area since the Trump administration launched “Operation Midway Bli...

This morning, in Broadview, 14 suburban women were arrested during an act of civil disobedience calling for an end to ICE/CBP’s kidnappings throughout the Chicago area.

“We want to encourage other people who feel strongly about ICE’s actions to step off the sidelines and take our cities back.”

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

I see some quibbling about if sandwich guy is really "jury nullification" (we know he's factually guilty and acquit anyway) or actually just a normal acquittal because the government didn't prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Fun thing about jury nullification is that's entirely unknowable.

Democrats won big on Tuesday and Chuck is panicking that the beautiful, sacred helplessness might be coming to an end

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

On my second listen and I like it more than the first one. I prefer my HiFi on the more psychedelic end, is what I'm learning

Night Vision Creeps, by IfIHadAHiFi 5 track album

BEHOLD the second new IfIHadAHiFi EP!

This is one of those times when social media is important. I don't trust most major news organizations to do much with this photo, even though it speaks volumes about this moment in our nation's history. But the image going viral will get it seen, and might push news orgs to use and discuss it.

EP #2: darker, spacier, synthier. The soap opera goth identical twin cousin of the last one.

We're the thing that shitposts when there's too much friction on the feed

Luthen again

I’m condemned to post the bullshit I used to look up to. I burn my decency for someone else’s giggles. I burn my life to put a smile on faces I know I’ll never see. And the ego that started this fight will never be free or satisfied or see the light of gratitude.

On the subject of "buy on sight" releases: two of my favorite dance music weirdos, Atlanta's Nikki Nair and Nagoya's Foodman, collaborated on two tracks?
