kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them

AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.

It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.
BREAKING: A 5th Circuit panel has backed ICE's mass detention policy, a decision that clears the way for the administration to lock up people who are in immigration proceedings

It's a 2-1 ruling
Majority: Jones (Reagan), Duncan (Trump)
Minority: Douglas (Obama)

It me, again!

So many features to talk about with what we're doing at work. So proud to be able to move Chicago forward as someone who grew up on this system, bringing into reality things I wish I had as a kid and bringing some of the best ideas from around the world to make Chicago better.

"The glorious 1920s painted cupola only required cleaning, the team said, and not any touching up of paint, because it had sat 'preserved in nicotine' for decades, given that smoking was allowed in the theater for over 60 years of its existence"

It's stunning.

The illegal arrests will continue until there is a single consequence.
Ice is being very aggressive with arresting observers this afternoon.

I have made... a mistake. Each auction lot had 8-12 photos, so I assumed that was the number of pieces in the lot.

It was merely a sample. Each lot contains 100-ish pieces.

I won three lots.

It doesn't "turn out" -- they've been very open about what is automated and what is not -- and they aren't being "controlled".

I’m not sure it’s true that waymo does more deadheading than uber/lyft but I haven’t seen data either way. I don’t personally think the city should ban one kind of ride share but allow another but I do think they should all be charged a fee proportional to VMT

I wonder if Lakeshore Drive's re-design as a 4-lane boulevard could incorporate this style of roundabout instead of offramps / mini diamond interchanges.
I don't like multi-lane roundabouts anywhere, to be honest, but where they are kind of ok is in "almost freeway"-like situations, where a full diamond interchange would be overkill.

(In this example from Gran Canaria, there's actually a grade-separated tunnel for pedestrians)

I'll be honest I thought the Trump admin was going to "touch the stove" with the tariffs but I think the overtly racist kidnapping squads is probably having a bigger effect on elections.

Unfortunate prediction: this will probably do quite well.
