So proud of my city. 👊❤️

(Albany Park is a diverse neighborhood on the northwest side of Chicago.)

* Continuing to fight the "Chicago is a hellhole" narrative: I saw this because I biked a few miles to a lovely chocolate cafe on a gorgeous fall day where the leaves were starting to turn golden.

I bought a thing of citric acid a few weeks ago, and I've been using it constantly in different things. It's been the best decision ever.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

This is *exactly* why they’re here.

Blur faces if you’re uploading protest pictures. Wear masks to protect your identity if someone records you. Cover tats. Stay together.

DO NOT RECORD PEOPLE DOING CRIME AND DON’T TALK ABOUT IT HERE.
I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Fun Fact: A Senior QA Engineer and I once used Factorio as a way to teach a junior QA Eng some basic principles of software development. Focused on things like reusability, maintenance/refactoring, modularity, iterative development, and scope creep
Factorio is a power fantasy game for engineers.

I love indulging in the delusion that I could escape an alien planet by building my own space program with a pickaxe.

Not only is this explanation great, I also know 5,271,009 people whose lives would be changed for the better by taking it on board.

Isabel is one of the important members of our community who we invited to the studio a few months ago. While here she made a request, I think not seriously, about getting her cat Bella into the game.
