Yes, it's the nature of a protection racket that "breaking" and "owning" work together. h/t @dahlialithwick.bsky.social

I'm convinced this is why T opposes congestion pricing. He doesn't care at all about the policy. But if he doesn't get a taste, as they say, nobody else gets to enjoy it either.

Yeah, 68th street & Marquette are still euphemisms for neonazis in Chicago. The SW neighborhoods have a lot of CPD employees there. Like if you're riding the red line, there's an expressway sign stating 68th street near one of the stops.

This afternoon I was told I have two weeks to get my entire rent balance for December paid off. Any donations/shares are deeply appreciated. Good luck on your finals!

I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.

KEEP IT UP.

My car is at risk of being repossessed. I am behind on Rent, Electricity and Medical Bills, if anyone's able to help.

Also, it sounds like people have figured out which hotel the ICE agents are staying at and are giving them a lovely overnight musical performance with drums and vuvuzelas and so on.

Thank you so much for this space! I have been without my insulin for about a week now. We also have no food. I would be so grateful if I could possibly get at least $100 to buy some groceries. Thank you! $BlueEyedAshh or BlueEyedAshh or @/AshleySpend 💸💕

The way you're taught that VC works is they fund 100 risky ventures and 99 of them fail. They lose money on those, in the hopes that the 1 that succeeds goes really big.

The reality is that VC looks a lot more like Ponzinomics. These guys make absolute BANK on failed moonshots.

How do VC's make money from failed bullshit? Fee structure. Say you're a VC with a 20% carry if the venture succeeds.

You ALSO have a guaranteed management fee of 2% of AUM per year. So you create a $1B "Deep Tech" fund, that's $20M a year. These sci-fi projects take 10 years to fail. That's $200M.
