We’ve made quick progress on this with at least two alders privately disclosing that they are pulling their support for the ordinance. That’s still not enough. In the coming days I will be working with other stakeholders and groups to make sure we kill this. DM me if interested in helping.

And remember: AC is at minimum 3 times more efficient than heating the same space (and often requires cooling a space by fewer degrees than heating does, making it even more efficient.) If you wouldn’t hesitate to turn on a space heater in December, the AC in June is fine.

Weird that the Cubs didn't play today

Thanks Mayor Johnson, my teens appreciate it!

Me: It's unwise to be charmed by politicians and you should never treat them like fictional characters you root for uncynically. Also me: What if Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander were both mayor and had Bert & Ernie beds in Gracie Mansion?

Holy s*** Matthew Boyd, what a catch

Gosh I wish I were at a baseball game

TIL Ursula Le Guin loved Worf with all her fannish heart. #StarTrek

Just a gentle reminder for those on antidepressants in this heat 🔥 Not everyone knows this, so please share to spread the word ❤️

What's your favorite team doing to make sure your favorite hot dog guy is safe, or the person who helps you find your seat -- or you? Even as ICE tried to get into Dodger Stadium this morning, Scott Ostler was checking in with Bay Area teams & restaurants. www.sfchronicle.com/sports/ostle...

There are 30 alders signed onto this bill to require surveillance cameras be installed in every business in Chicago and watch the public way. Aldermanic offices are now open for the day. Call yours today and ask ‘WTF?’ tell them this is not okay. www.chicago.gov/city/en/dept...

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

Oh no, I did not ask for this anxiety. I even took my meds on time.

Please please please be careful about who you give information to

talked to Edie Fake about his amazing mural of a fantasy (and fantastic) trans healthcare clinic, and Chicago's history of queer art. observer.com/2025/06/inte...

Idea: put Cuomo, Emmanuel, and Schumer in a Truman Show style simulation and tell them they're in charge and can ruin as many poor people's lives as they want. Pipe in news stories about how kids schools are being shut down and homeless people are being "cleared out." The rest of us can live free.

I was not expecting to hear chapelle roan at the Discount Tire

Fun fact: in hospice the acronym for patient-controlled analgesia is PCA. So this work meeting is very confusing in the era of Mr. Crow-Armstrong.

This happens in every map about every large-ish city, and it's usually by people who would be horrified to be accused of Jim Crow era segregation. But "har har don't go south of Sox/35th on the red line" is the same goddamn racism baseline as redlining ever was.

Remember when we thought it was a free country

Someone in the replies called this doordash for bears and I can't stop laughing

This is exceptional reporting

"AllTrails has a new generative AI feature that can be asked to 'shorten my route' or 'make this more scenic.' But the people in charge of searching for lost hikers say the feature is going to exacerbate an issue they’ve been warning about for years: hiking apps providing false information."

never attribute to polyamory that which is adequately explained by having a shitty partner
