“West of Pulaski, all the restaurants are mostly empty and dark,” he said. “Once you get past Pulaski, you just start seeing all these full businesses. And I’m, like, man, if just a portion of those customers came a couple blocks west, it would make such a difference.”
Trump’s deportation blitz is hurting Belmont Cragin’s restaurants: Can neighbors save them?

Thread; click through. This is so gross.
When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles.
Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

This is why despite how bleak things may seem, I always make it a note to share organizing victories, even small ones. They matter more than you might think.

Quick little health-related thread:
There are measles outbreaks happening in the US & Canada because of pockets of very low vaccination rates.
I wondered if maybe I might need an update to my vaccines. I got them in the usual way as a kid, but sometimes immunity doesn’t last. So I asked my doctor.

Recently had the chance to play with an Instax Mini 9, which has a very satisfyingly clicky settings wheel.
One of those settings is Hi-Key, which I used here. I love how much detail is in his fur!

Some things you can do. No one can do all these things, but most people can do at least one:
Feed people. There's work for you at Food Not Bombs or whatever you got going on where are.
Join a local cop watch, ICE watch, or rapid response group.
Who's being targeted in your area? Have their back.

Folks.
I am still telling jokes on the internet like a doofus. I want to explain why I am telling jokes like a doofus when people, especially marginalized people but also everyone else, are being slowly pulled apart by the most ghastly people imaginable.
The answer is, for my mental health.

Shame about the halo. But I think I'm going to enjoy this Automat Glass. Came with a film cart with 2 shots left on it; this is one of them. I kind of wish Fuji still offered this border now, lol.
