I have finally correctly been identified as a cool kid.
All the cool kids want more building data
We were excited to see energy benchmarking mentioned in the Chicago Central Area Plan 2045, and to see that they want to expand it to more buildings!
Do you know any buildings that would start reporting with this new threshold?

My ex showed our daughter the movie Grease last weekend and, to my horror, she loved it
I already hate basically every musical ever, but this is an especially grating one and now she’s blasting the soundtrack 24/7 I hate it here

An interesting group of alders banded together to create this alternative budget proposal. Note that not everybody who opposes the head tax is included.

How do I block screenshots of Spotify Wrapped? I don't care about what anyone listens to on the platform that doesn't pay artists so it can pay Joe Rogan instead and wants to destroy music and the planet with AI slop.

George Cardenas is just soliciting bribes directly at this point.
For most owners of single-family homes, making sure all applicable exemptions have been filed will probably make more difference than tweaking the assessment.

He means guerilla dismantled and the parts sold to fill gaps in the city budget.
Seriously, these need to be treated as ADA violations, and fined.
Hey, it's not too late to add a new tax to next year's Chicago budget!

Confirmed that these guys are the biggest fucking dorks on the planet. Just total loser shit with a posed group photo in front of the bean.
@colinbphoto.bsky.social caught federal immigration agents in an apparent photo shoot at the Bean this morning and I guess this happened:
While Border Patrol photographers snapped photos, one agent shouted, “Everyone say, ‘Little Village!’”

The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

If you're supporting the same thing Ray Lopez is supporting, just what are you fucking doing?
A Sunday read — 26 members of the Chicago City Council signed a letter expressing concern about Mayor Brandon Johnson’s proposal to tax wealthy corporations, making them pay their fair share.
Here’s a look at who’s for/against the proposal.

Emanuel killed it. Johnson wants it back. Chicago’s corporate head tax debate is about more than money • The TRiiBE
Proponents say former Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s removal of the corporate head tax left a hole in the city's budget that was never replaced; they want the rich to pay their fair share.
