Only 40%?! Try harder, Chicago.
Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

Democrats weren't going to win. They were going to force Republicans to kill the filibuster. WIthout the filibuster they would be forced in power to pass a lot of things they don't want to pass.

Great. “AI” and Big Tech waste billions to rip societies apart (a good investment apparently, as nearly 40 percent of US GDP growth in 2025 comes from AI, which can’t possibly go on forever, or can it) so people buy gold as a “hedge against destruction”.
