In a city as big as chicago, it’s absurd that the only city-ran location to dispose of old electronics is open once a week from 7a-12p

I’m a home organizer.
I would say 95% of the homes I help are significantly over-buying in these five categories:
-All clothing, all ages
-Shoes, all ages
-Holiday decor
-Party favors, decor and supplies
-Kids toys, all ages

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Hubble captures the sharpest view of the Antennae galaxies, two merging spirals. Bright blue starbursts emerge, while old stellar cores are shrouded in dust. This galactic collision offers a preview of what will happen when the Milky Way and Andromeda collide in billions of years.

Sabotage. The chaos is a feature, not a bug. They’re trying to precipitate a crisis to justify taking even more control, to suspend the Constitution (which they’re already shredding/ignoring/defying) and impose dictatorship. I think I might have said this a few times. I hope you’re catching on.
Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

In case no one caught it, #Amazon bought the Oscars with a completely arbitrary #JamesBond tribute, having nothing whatsoever to do with the 2024 season.
Usually the #Oscars feature each original song. Not this year. Just one big ad from Amazon who newly acquired the James Bond franchise.

It’s about time Americans came face to face with their consumption issues. Try a 30-day buying ban. Try shopping at thrift stores if you need something. Everything we need already exists in the world. Go find it. Reuse it. Stop feeding the oligarchy.

The Flaming Star Nebula's vibrant red hues are due to the ionized hydrogen gas emitting light, while the blue areas result from light reflected by interstellar dust.
