Turns out that paving project on the Lechowicz Woods portion of the North Branch Trail was also an unpaving project. They removed the entire back parking lot and replaced the awkward curve to it where trail users had to share the driveway with dedicated trail. Massive improvement

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

The more democratic elements of the American constitutional and economic order are actually throwing up road blocks to Trumpism. Protests and boycotts and low level courts and juries and cetera. Elite actors on the other hand are all too frequently caving. Fascinating study in who actually cares!

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

support whomever you’d like, but what is frustratingly dishonest about this take is that actual issue — the thing critics have identified as the problem — isn’t the decision of the 21-year old to get the tattoo, but of the judgment of the 40-year old who still has it.
I think political writers actually should have an opinion about a guy in his 40s having a Nazi tattoo. The decision to keep it on their body may tell us more than their website.

I have no idea what Graham Platner's religious views are, but the way our culture is obsessed with trying to divine a person's "real" interior views, by definition radically private and unknowable, above and beyond external actions in the world, is a sign of how culturally Protestant we all are.

Earlier today I was listening to one of the hosts from Here and Now repeatedly ask a resident from Southeast Chicago whether throwing rocks at ICE was justified. And finally she just said, "They invaded our community. They have machine guns."

ICE has threatened a “sh*t show” in Broadview today, per a village statement.
“ICE is seeking to intimidate the Village of Broadview because we dared exercise our 1st Amendment constitutional rights calling for an end to their war on Broadview. We will not be intimidated. We are Broadview strong.”

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

CDOT is dropping 8 new micromobility hubs around Wrigleyville this week! We've heard feedback & seen evidence that a more uniform/comprehensive approach to parking scooters, Divvys, etc was needed in the area. Excited to expand this network! Also dropping 2 new Divvy stations in the area today :)

Protected bike lanes have a near-magical ability to produce cyclists.
This new study of 28 US cities finds that census block groups w/protected bike lanes expanded bike commuting almost 2x faster than those w/standard bike lanes & >4x faster than those w/o new lanes.
