Love having a city council that treats civil litigation the same way a second grader treats making their bed, eating their broccoli, or wiping their ass.
The surprise rejection by a vote of 18 to 15 was the latest sign that an emboldened City Council fed up with the avalanche of settlements tied to allegations of police wrongdoing is no longer willing to rubber stamp those giant pay-outs.
Finance Committee rejects $8.25M settlement to compensate family of woman killed in high-speed police chase

RIP Biggles, I look at this poster of your ridiculous mug every dang day
Since we’re all talking about the Chicago Municipal Device this morning I want to share a throwback to when I did a beer label design for @beermiscuous.bsky.social’s anniversary ale: ‘Biggles Seizes the Means’
Featuring @bainard.bsky.social’s pup ‘Biggles’ (RIP) and snuck the device onto his tag.

she's terrible of course but i get the urge to loudly brag about half-completing tasks that people wouldn't stop riding my ass about for days
Pam Bondi is bragging about releasing 3 million Epstein documents even though she has illegally redacted many of the names and SHE TRIED TO RELEASE NONE OF THE DOCUMENTS but Congress forced her hand.

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

it's neat that he's willing to go all over the world and whine about how big of a loser he is
Vance whines about US Olympic athletes speaking out against the Trump administration:
"When you're representing the country, you're representing Democrats and Republicans. You're there to play a sport...You're not there to pop off about politics"

A surprisingly common type of blue city mayor is the "How is making me do any work going to improve this terrible situation? Idiot!" varietal. Chicago basically grows these people in greenhouses.
In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

You wonder why these people feel the need to wear masks while committing kidnappings and murders until you don't have to wonder any more.
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

"explaining a problem visually in 30 seconds" is also why congress got furious at tiktok: because zoomers were learning about the Gaza genocide, and there wasn't anything they could do to push back on that flow of information.
extremely hopeful, honestly. as long as you can explain the problem visually in 30 seconds you really can make people understand things they've otherwise been tricked about
ring just did it, uh, accidentally

i thought we were trying to rid ourselves of the Male Gase
He’s back: After a five-year hiatus, Adam Gase returns to coaching in the NFL, joining the Chargers as an assistant focusing on the passing game, sources say.
The former Jets and Dolphins coach rose in the ranks as a record-setting offensive mind. Now back to his roots in LA.
