Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.” @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

OK, I can't find a good GIF version, so you'll just have to imagine Jackson Bentley stumbling into the aftermath of Lawrence of Arabia's attack on the Turkish column saying "Jesus wept"
NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.

Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution

For today's #BirdOfTheDay the theme is all about Birds looking a bit on the #Round side. Alternative Birds are #Sparrows.

This Golden-crowned Sparrow fits both themes! #birds #photography #EastCoastKin

Silly dinosaur is being silly.
My audience got me to release a Chipmunk Cut, in other words an animation of me with my voice sped up about 50%. It's my half of a response video, so it probably won't make much sense on its own, but it's funny.

2/ 🏠 there are no emergency shelters for single people on chicago's far northwest side despite the significant number of unhoused people who live in the area.

after years of requests from advocates, local leaders are finally hoping to change that. (via @katieprout.bsky.social)

The last leaves of autumn glow even brighter to a hungry pair of Therizinosaurus, bulking up for a long winter. These strange dinosaurs are some of my favorites, and though they're slow movers, they made it just in time to be included in my new calendar!

HUGE development IN hearing for Comey selective prosecution motion, It turns out that the grand jury NEVER saw the operative indictment. Whole separate basis for dismissal. Standby for more.

I think the level of sexual abuse that is going to be coming out of ICE would put the Boston archdiocese and Penn State to shame
Sounds like he thought he had a get out of jail free card on the underage sex charge since he was ICE www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

People who say "we're wolves not sheep" have never seen two ewes trying to murder each other over relative status in the flock before they give birth, and then all their friends and family picking sides because being friends with the winner will raise THEIR status, until there is a massive brawl
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

“ABC11 spoke with Lori Lober, a study participant. Initially, she was given a grim prognosis, with median survival rate of less than 2 to 3% for five years. However, the trial at Duke Health gave her new hope. She has remained disease-free for 24 years.”

I could cry.

i've half-joked about how you aren't actually rich until you have "cancer money", or enough that you can pay for treatment *and* be out of work for however long *and* maintain your or your family's basic quality of life (ie, not having to liquidate core assets like your primary residence).
