Alright I'm making a VC company

it's called ARTILLR

Makes 155mm shells, but with a cool office where people wear those weird dress sweatpants
I don’t think it’s that they want it destroyed as much as they just want the money going to F-35’s and 155 mm shells redirected to their VC companies grifting AI and Drones
Trump may be damaging the U.S arms industry right now. But we should consider that they may not just be stupid, but deliberate. I've listened to a few of the podcast episodes with the Trump capo David Sachs and Peter Thiel. These people have contempt for the U.S arms industry and want it destroyed.

The CTA left-justified the route information for (dubious) "accessibility", but half the time the signs say something irrelevant about the season or local sports teams. Probably they just care about getting a nice press release but actually don't care about how easy it is to read the damn signs
Hot take, I hate buses that say "seasons greetings' or anything that isn't relevant to the route.

Like PLEASE I don't care that it's Christmas, just tell me the route number and where it's going 😭😭

Love it when "pro peace" protestors all have signs about who they think should win the war (the terrorists because ofc)

Raise the voting age! Not that hard to fix this

(And add a maximum age too)

Cook County should have a special box at the polls where you can select the “girl I guess” picks, and then it puts your vote directly in the trash can

Would probably speed things at some polling places

While this does suck, walking from the L to McCormick much faster than the miserable people in cars is quite nice
I love telling folks here for the Pack Expo that they should use transit to get to McCormick

I don’t love when there’s a 55 minute gap in Metra service from Millennium to McCormick right when the expo floor opens

Idk who this question is for, but...

If I wanted to go from Chicago to somewhere with a dark enough sky to see plenty of stars without a car...the move here is Amtrak to Gilman IL, right?

Really remarkable that the CTA still hasn’t figured out how to not drop runs when they’re running not so frequent service

Drivers are as crazy as ever, but it’s really encouraging that new bike infrastructure is being built quickly enough for me to notice the improvement even over a short timescale.

Chicago people, the bike lane on Francisco to access the channel trail is striped
