Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

An 87yo in WI charged 17,766 times for $77k. An 89yo in D.C. charged 26,456 times for $429k. A 76yo in CA charged 27,236 times for $578k. There are thousands of examples like these. Republicans are even worse. We shouldn't have to protect our elderly parents from this.

crypto, car dealerships and MLMs. ripe targets for political and policy reasons.

The AI 'Reverse Engineer Anything' craze is going to further sloppify the real world & put insecure buggy stuff on all sorts of hardware. It is also going to liberate a bunch of internet of shit devices that have been needlessly bricked by their manufacturers www.404media.co/reverse-engi...

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Ossoff is simply too good

Can you bike through Chicago's winters and the rain, even with kids? Our last guest told us how she does it and how fun it can be! (full video below!)

Cancelling a subscription shouldn't be this hard. If you can sign up with a click, you must be able to cancel with one. Head to nyc.gov/click-to-cancel to file a complaint against any business that makes it hard to cancel a subscription.

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

I have been inside 129 Illinois public libraries and don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like this in Sterling: three-story stacks with glass floors to let in more light, original to the 1904 Carnegie building.

do you know how blessed I am to live in Chicago. how blessed I am to be raising my daughters here. I cannot believe it when I walk around our neighborhood that this is what my kids get to have as a home.

Like it or not this what Maine Guys actually sound like. Might sound like shit to you, but this is a Meryl Streep-level performance for guys from Maine with this voice and personality.

Our built infrastructure robs kids of their freedom of independent mobility. Streets are dominated by oversized vehicles, piloted by aggressive and distracted drivers where one mistake can turn lethal. We sacrificed child development to subsidize the auto industry.

He is so good at messaging. It's really kind of unreal.

One of the most notable Chicago homes of the last 40 years is for sale for the first time ever. In 1993, Edwin and Yoko Miller enlisted Kevin Lee Sarring, best known today for his highly awarded later work on US embassies, to create this Japan-inspired private residence on a double lot in Uptown.

Oh so they’re coming for everything huh

the other thing is that there is just an extreme enthusiasm gap this year. every living person who has ever cast a ballot for a democrat is probably going to try to get to the polls this november, and a bunch of trump voters are going to sit out.

Really happy to see so many of @katmabu.bsky.social's campaign ideas getting picked up by some folks nationwide.
