I’ll try again. All of these original artworks are still available on my website, there are some spooky things and some nice textures and lines that you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you for looking. 🖼️ and if you share this that would be super

Bank of Eng now: “Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis”

This is only a small portion of the whistles & zines from last night. The bar and the patio at the Nighthawk were packed with volunteers.

Week two of gathering at our local bar for the whistle project. The turnout was incredible.

Look, I've never skeeted about this before but when I was at NYT I was involved in a sexual harassment thing. I was not the person lodging the complaint (nor was I the harasser). I was a corroborating witness let's say. Anyway, NYT did the right thing and fired the harasser.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Copying Maura is generally a strong choice! And even though I am a little torn on my first two, I do feel good about Hampton solidly in #3. From what I understand, he's notably less progressive in a number of ways than the other two.

US lawyer John Yoo wrote a series of memos for the Bush administration in order to create a legal cover for torture.

He suffered no negative consequences. He later was made Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley.

Did anyone get a pic of ICE’s vehicle and the plate? In LA they are often finding that they operate used looking civilian vehicle with swapped plates. So you might see a ford explorer, but run the plate on minnesotalicenseplate.com and it’s a plate registered for a Chevy Tahoe.

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.

Yep! My dad is an NYC Jewish atheist in all things except bagels, where he believes G_d has very strong opinions. In my dad's theology, even whole wheat and cranberry bagels are anathema. Scoop out the middle and you're insulting everything sacred.

Was just at a neighborhood school at dismissal. Hundreds of people with whistles surrounding the school and stationed down every block making sure ICE doesn’t snatch anyone. The same is happening at all the schools around here. I love my neighborhood and I love Chicago.

Anyone in Minneapolis want to make a post-sized case for Fateh or Davis in the number 1 spot? I'm torn but leaning Fateh and people whose politics I respect are doing both and I can't bring myself to go vote because I don't feel sure about ranking order.
