This is exactly why vendor lock-in is the devil. At this point, it would be potentially cheaper & better for the County/City to combine forces and share a common digital service to build it ourselves and open source the code so other counties don't get screwed over too.

Tyler Technologies, the company that has spent more than a decade helming the troubled and often-stalled overhaul of Cook County’s property tax technology that has led to repeated delays in homeowners getting their bills, is in line for a two-year extension.

Today, while protecting Palestinians, Brad Lander & a group of American rabbis & others were taken by the IDF. Releasing Brad isn't enough, the Israeli govt must release them all.   If this is how they treat Americans, imagine how they treat Palestinians. Trump & Rubio's silence fuels this impunity.

Angel Reese is just the third player in WNBA history with 30+ points and 15+ rebounds in a Finals game (Breanna Stewart with Seattle in 2020; Jonquel Jones with Connecticut in 2019). Absolute monster performance!

it's so very hard opening the news and seeing stories like this every day that pales in comparison to the suffering of the people in those stories. that's why you can't look away.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"

It would be nice if Big Football, amid the Citeh crisis, took a pause to reappraise the game as a whole and it's money-obsessed model. It isn't working: it might look glitzy and be a major UK 'export product' but it is failing across the board. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

In 2018, my friend Ady Barkan — the bravest person I’ve ever known — was traveling across the U.S. Despite his rapidly advancing ALS, he was fighting so fiercely for healthcare for every American. On that trip, he introduced me to @abdulelsayed.bsky.social, who was running for governor of Michigan.
