I'm not sure what it's gonna take for people to realize that being subject to a sick burn in a judicial opinion is not something that will dissuade Trump or his cronies. They will push and push and try again and again until something sticks unless they are sanctioned and punished!

So, we asked Pritzker to weigh in on the go-to debate for every "Star Wars" nerd: Which movies are the best? Here's his ranking of the 11 major films in the series: 1. "The Empire Strikes Back" (1980) 2. "Star Wars" (1977) 3. "Return of the Jedi" (1983) 4. "Rogue One" (2016) 5. "The Last Jedi" (2017) 6. "Revenge of the Sith" (2005) 7. "The Force Awakens" (2015) 8. "Solo" (2018) 9. "The Phantom Menace" (1999) 10. "Attack of the Clones" (2002) 11. "The Rise of Skywalker" (2019)

haven’t seen ROS or Solo but this seems like a pretty ball-knowing list from Pritzker, particularly if he volunteered the name “Star Wars” rather than “A New Hope”

I mean he was installed mostly because everyone knew he didn’t know how to use power

A Manch-Murk-Collins-Romney clique could've dominated federal policy in the 117th

I think one thing that is remarkable over the last half decade is how moderates could step and run the show but are too dumb/convinced of their own helplessness to actually do it

“Is the US being a largely car-only society an example of its freedom or its suppression” - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

People hugely underestimate how much transportation affects them except in these moments where a bunch of people are about to get it that didn’t before. Transportation is mobility and mobility is the spatial exercise of freedom.

It seems difficult to really separate them (and also for AI to only help one and not the other)

Is a student who actually understands the information an assignment is supposed to reinforce, but is lacking in the skills to present that understanding in a professional way, still completing the assignment?

The way that AI is often argued to help with the presentation aspect of information (making sure a paper reads well or a slide deck looks good) makes me wonder about the value of those skills separately from the information being presented.

it’s pretty simple: you can either induce demand for things that suck and people hate (traffic), or you can do it for things that are good (bikes, the McRib)

How does one differentiate between that situation (which seems similar to an American 4-way stop) and this one (which seems similar to an American major vs minor street, where I assume drivers don’t have to yield to cross traffic)

Like, as an example of a random 4-way residential intersection (in Munich), I don’t see any traffic control signs. Is the expectation that, despite no signage, a driver should slow down and make sure the way is clear before continuing?

I’ve always been a bit confused by this argument.

How does it work if two drivers approach and intersection at the same time if there are no stop signs?

Is your argument mostly about stop vs yield (where the US effectively uses stop for yield)?

It took 20 years following the Civil War for a Democrat to be elected President and then it was a bare win

Not great when I have a full time job, lol

My hunch about the tooltips is that they built a mostly dynamic system for their generation (rather than it being hard coded), so the system doesn’t know what tool tip the player is requesting, just that it’s of a certain type, and responds accordingly

Instead I’m moving to her plan (Wisconsin gov’t plan) and we’ll end up saving ~$1000 annually

I thought I had a swanky job (and I do), but adding my wife to my plan would have been ~$1500 more expensive annually than us keeping our individual plans.

If we had a child, it would have close to $4k more expensive annually.

A story in 3 parts.

Hard to be on time when you leave the layover 3 min late

As Train Travel Surges, Amtrak Needs to Buy More Trains! Amtrak has a problem: There’s more demand than it can handle. Trains regularly sell out, year round. There’s a relatively simple fix for this problem: Buy more trainsets.

Amtrak has a problem: There’s more demand than it can handle. Trains regularly sell out, year round.

The need for more capacity is evident year-round, as the most popular parts of routes sell out or are available only at shockingly high prices

Borealis is suffering immensely from this problem. If you live in Wisconsin vote for pro-rail candidates in the legislature in 2026 and encourage them to include funding in the next budget cycle for additional rolling stock. A $100 million+ investment is sorely needed in Wisconsin.

She was a true believer and the Epstein cover-up shattered her entire world lmao

It’s not good, but the US enforcing human rights violations is better than a UN commission headed by Saudi Arabia and supported by Sudan, China, and Belarus.

US Imperialism is terrible, except all the others that have been tried.

In the crime/justice space, we have to find solutions that avoid the real issue: police are just dangerously incompetent, so resolving issues through them is wrought with problems and failures.

But law enforcement are essential to enforcing the law!

Fucking hell, this is so bad.

I feel like so much politics/electoral discourse has to do the same two-step as crime/justice:
How do you succeed when the primary tool is completely broken and incompetent.

We have to navigate a situation in which most political journalists are just hot garbage.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

This made me realize that the 3 biggest streetcar opponents (before Spiker) have each been replaced by 3 Hop supporters.

Borkowski -> Burgelis
Donovan -> Zamarripa
Zielinski -> Dmitrijevic

Burgelis and Dimitrijevic were 2 of only 4 alders to vote against a proposal to look into Hop fare collection

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.
