In this Indiana diner, everyone has three questions: How's the breaded tenderloin? Is the quarry hiring? And when will the feds finally put an end to congestion pricing in Manhattan?

That’s how you write a headline, people.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

I think an American flag created entirely by black men at the Superbowl is one of the best pieces of art I've seen in my lifetime. I hope it actually killed some folks. And I hope it finally closes the fucking book on the argument that we shouldn't use the flag to fight the God damned fascists.

Anyone else remember how the CTA's own public cost estimates for RLE went up 47% in **12 days** and no one cared?

An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

This is a great figure. For all the doom & gloom about climate inaction, we have made a big dent over the past 25 years.

What started out as 3.5-4°C increase by 2100 is now down to 2-3°C. Of course, more work is urgently needed but this is progress! We don't let up now. h/t @hausfath.bsky.social

when you’re in grade school you learn about the war of 1812 as a kind of curiosity but i’ve read a few books this year where it has come up and to me, it seems like the first episode of “america fucks around and finds out with an ill-conceived war”
