Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Journalist challenge: Use “Machine Learning” when you mean machine learning and “LLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch “AI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. 🧪

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

“Oh you think Schumer should step down well what would YOU do in that situation” is my favorite horrible counterargument because a shareholder does not have to personally headhunt a replacement if they vote to oust someone from a board, but if you dislike a politician you better have binders ready

In Old Navy, right now, being inundated with premature Christmas music and I have to wonder: has anyone added an extra verse, bridge, or any other brand new section of a classic Christmas song, and people said "wow good job you made it better?"

In all seriousness, Dick Cheney made the world worse in a way few other human beings can claim. Millions are dead because of his greed and ambition. The Middle East was torn apart over lies he authored and championed. At least he can't do it again.

When the House (1978) viewing goes badly, you just gotta get new friends.
Inventing a new word for when you excitedly invite your friends over to watch a horror movie they haven't seen before and then you realize the day of that it's a completely miserable, grueling experience

As Pritzker said, they don't need the national guard here - home grown troopers are perfectly happy to beat, brutalize and suppress protesters, clergy, and people of conscience!
Everything that just happened was both brutal and expected given how we've seen ISP behave these last few weeks.
Saw troopers striking people with batons, dragging protesters. They're currently cuffing someone marked as a medic. Approximately nine people we see in state custody now.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.
It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.
