Chicago, the temp is going to drop late tomorrow night, and we'll see wind chills of −30 °F or lower on Friday and Saturday. Check on unhoused neighbors and people without reliable heat. Make sure they know their options. If you venture out, wear your warmest coat and cover up as much as you can.

I think it’s ok to point out how unaffordable everything is for most people. It’s all interconnected and just because someone is like “hey food is expensive,” we don’t need to point out that Greenland is the only thing they should care about. This is a DDoS attack. It’s constant and it all sucks.

It's all about this. Rampant impunity everywhere. Men who think rules are for other people. Because they are rich. Because they have nukes. Because they own the tech. Sometimes all three.
There is a crisis of impunity. The Musk/Grok stuff is just one f many examples of people who are counting on there never being any consequences. And it all makes me just incandescently mad.

yes! a good number of MAHA-approved products are just repurposed waste from beef production
i'm not saying this as anyone who knows anything about health; i'm saying it as someone who is an alleged expert in interest group politics: the American beef industry is all over MAHA, wellness, and podcast spaces.
remember "bacon mania?" totally a marketing strategy by the pork industry.

New federal dietary guidelines give federal approval to beef tallow, a fat that both cardiologists and the U.S. government told Americans to avoid for nearly half a century.

We visited Renee Good's memorial.
There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone.
Flowers & stuffed animals galore.
Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water.
Grief. And belief.

I often joke with my Music Friend that if you read NME, Q, Spin, Paste, etc. in the early 2000s that at some point a crossroads stood in front of you as you hit 30: You either got really into jazz or the Grateful Dead.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.
