loooooooooooooooooove my state
Artificial intelligence companies are threatening to shun Illinois and build their most advanced data centers in Wisconsin and Indiana if the state doesn’t dilute its privacy law, the toughest in the country.
Amid chaotic data center debates, industry warns Illinois will miss out unless privacy law weakened

First time I've seen one of these birds up-close: a white-winged scoter. I saw it this morning in the Chicago River's North Branch right next to the Lawrence Avenue bridge. It's also been seen lately in River Park.

You can be mad at the people documenting all you want but that won't change the fact that state and local police departments have played (and will continue to play) an instrumental role in allowing DHS to operate unimpeded. That's kind of just what cops are designed to do.
