Chicagoan. I’ll probably complain about my clients a lot. It’s because they’re stupid. I mostly watch women’s sports, but also #COYS

Me: Mom, do you need anything while I’m up?
Mom: No thanks. I’ll wait until you sit down to ask for anything. 😝
She got her mother’s sense of humor.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

Everything is very bad right now but at least my dad’s current health crisis has finally convinced my mom that it’s time for assisted living. Now I have to get my dad on board. 🥴 Because dropping everything and driving three hours for every little thing ain’t it. #EldestDaughter

Declaring dissidents and undesired groups mentally ill was one of the fundamental means of control used in the Soviet Union.
i don't think a lot of you understand what's happening.
if they can declare transgender people mentally ill, then they can do it for anyone. and they will.
they'll say homosexuality is an illness. they'll say women have hysteria. all the old invented pseudoscience will return in service to them.

If the Trump White House wants to ban all transgender people from owning guns because a handful were responsible for mass shootings, wait until they hear how many shootings straight cis white guys have done.

Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.
The AI hype bubble driving the stock market is also the Trump bubble.
Facing reality on one—“cost a lot to run, low revenue, isn’t superintelligence” or “tariffs, corruption, and chaos are real”—will make reality hit on the other.
So they’ll try to keep inflating it, and then we’re in for a crash.

As a nearby naval base is being considered as a staging ground for an immigration blitz by federal agents, Chicago Mayor Johnson's measure aims to hold federal law enforcement to city rules on policing while also keeping tabs on new deployments.
Mayor Johnson signs 'Protecting Chicago Initiative' to safeguard city from federal agents, troops
The measure says the Chicago Police Department would remain a city agency and requires federal law enforcement to abide by city laws on policing while also submitting information requests on federal activity in the city.
