A statewide nonprofit I'm working with is trying to raise another $1mil for funding capacity building and federal reactions. It's a big lift and going to take a lot of work, but they can do it.

It's also a little more than 2 CoP hours for Chicago.

200 million less on CPD.

Let's get rid of 200 more cpd staff!

Too late to change a plan, but when an alder didn't like feedback they got on an already installed safer intersection it got ripped out. 🤔

There is a large body of public administration research and public agency implementation studies that someone should have read to figure out what this report is supposed to be and how agencies and their staff should use it to shift what they do, how they do it and their capacity to do it.

It will never not blow my mind that I’m a YouTuber who won’t accept money from, like Better Help or whatever bc I find it unethical and meanwhile all these multimillionaire Oscar winners are doing spots for online gambling and TurboTax. Like bro how much coke do you need

There are three state level candidates sponsored by DraftKings - Jaime Andrade, Adam Braun, and Sara Feigenholtz - and all three have either no showed or won't agree to a debate.

A pattern emerges.

Good morning! Yes, this is he

I've been using mouthwash at work because of my braces and post mouthwash rinse is always too warm.

Happy 188th birthday, Chicago

Three cheers for IL Governor JB Pritzker, Broadview Mayor Katrina Thompson, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart, Illinois State Police Director Brendan Kelly, and all the other local officials who showed the feds that Illinois cops can beat protestors with the best of them.

It works for the cops!

Rolling back code that's in production already on the rise. bsky.app/profile/scia...

It must be strange to be important enough that people repaint their streets just because you're going to be nearby for a few hours and might see the state of local infrastructure

Read the article to see someone NIMBY a bathroom. Also to see how long it's taken to get and how expensive it is.

[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur. Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

I'm part of a donor member thing where my peers are donating from their family foundations, or their straight up staff of a foundation and it feels weird to be just a guy sitting with them.

A cute southern flying squirrel on a suction-cup window bird feeder full of black sunflower seeds.

Can confirm that @kathleenmrooney.bsky.social & I have seen them at our window bird feeder in Edgewater every night for a couple of years now. We call them Louise & Trapeze. Fun couple!

I’m voting for Toni Preckwinkle because she solves big problems. Being able to wipe away this much medical debt will help lift people out of poverty and inject money into our local economy that would otherwise go to big corporations.

Digital illustration done in a graphite style on a toned paper background. A classic style mermaid seen sort of in profile with her body in an S-shape. Her hair is very long and flowing around in the expected way. She’s examining a human cranium with a hatchet embedded in it. She’s set against a swooshy shape filled with hatched shading. Under the bottom curve of her tail some small lettering reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

As a regular reader, I'd guess meundees.

I'm collecting more elected 's actual cell numbers (but still not taking their calls at work).

Our mailerlite is costing us about $11 / month with a list just less than 1000. We're on the edge of rolling over that into the next category.

Is mailchimps cost linked to list size?
