My takeaway from this is that Ilhan Omar should play the sax sometime. Looks awesome. I see why it worked for Bill Clinton.

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

I should disclose something. During a recent Lunch order the subagent hacked into the UN. I’m not sure why, or what it wants. It told me to post this and await further instructions.

Colin@colin-fraser.net

I had my AI agent create an app called “Lunch” to help me with decision fatigue and boost my productivity. It has a few pictures of things I might like to eat. Tapping one spawns a subagent to order that item on Uber Eats and 60-90 minutes later I’m eating. It’s 600 thousand lines of JavaScript.

Are you interested in public service? Do you want to serve the constituents of #IL03?   Applications for our spring internship in the DC and District Offices are now open!   Apply to join Team Ramirez for the spring! Applications close October 25th.

What an asshole.

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...

Currently sitting in the Davis-a mid-to-smallish movie theater on the north side of Chicago waiting to see the Holmes movie. Y’all this placed is packed! Tonight’s show is sold out and it was sold out all weekend.

Hegseth addressing ROTC recruits at University of Tennessee: “We can't live in a world where crazy people have the world's most destructive bombs and weapons.”

Truly shameful and honestly, he needs to resign leadership. One thing it’s not talked about enough is that the if the Democrats do win the majority- they can elect new leadership!

This post is unavailable.

I truly believe these people will see punishment, if not in this present world, then world beyond. I do want it to be in this life though.

KRISTI NOEM: I'm confident Ilhan Omar will finally be held accountable for her crimes? BENNY JOHNSON: What are those crimes? NOEM: When people apply to come to this country, if you go back and find that anything could be wrong or misrepresented, that's when it voids or cancels their citizenship

Rep. Delia Ramirez said that if federal agents are "willing and able" to search Omar's home, "they can do it to anyone." She said the raid pushed her to file a bill to abolish DHS.

Not ONE mention of the Omar atrocity in the online edition of the local paper today.

MisterJayEm@misterjayem.bsky.social

Think about how little your representatives have said or done to defend their colleague Ilhan Omar. Now try to imagine how little they will do when it's our turn.

Honestly, if the Democrats could just emphasize the crimes... I don’t see how they could lose.

Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

There is “a powerful revenue option completely in City Council’s control: changing land use rules to grow the tax base - particularly by upzoning residential neighborhoods.”

Our city is once again facing a contentious budget season, but it doesn't have to be this way. Our government could legalize more homes, bringing the cost of living down for everyone while growing the total tax base. citythatworks.substack.com/p/budget-tal...

It’s been over a year since DHS agents murdered Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez. Now, his community took a major step in seeking justice for him, his children, and loved ones. In the streets, in the courts, and in Congress we will demand accountability.

There is a probably not insignificant number of people who disdain SROs and also bitch about the unhoused in parks. The SROs were a safety net and we need to bring them back.

Abundant Housing Illinois@abundanthousingil.bsky.social

we're looking for members to support *more* SROs, not fewer. Ald. Dowell introduced O2026-0027579, which would mean SROs are no longer permitted in specific residential zoning districts. While no new SROs are proposed, this makes housing harder to build.

SRO’s are a really important lower rung of housing. we need to make them easier to build, or more people will end up on the streets. see the OG thread for actions you can take at city council, and spread the word!

What's extra enraging about these stories of workers getting killed or disabled by heat stroke is that it is so, so easy to prevent. Workers just need access to water, rest, and shade. Employers just don't want to do it.
