EXCLUSIVE: We found that Instacart is using AI algorithms to charge customers different prices for the same items.

It's not just online. It's in physical grocery stores too.

Our months-long investigation with @consumerreports.org and @groundwork.bsky.social found it could cost families $1200/year.
We Had 400 People Shop For Groceries. What We Found Will Shock You.

Picture from Tunnel View point at Yosemite. El Capitan is visible on the left and Half Dome is visible in the distance. Also the moon can be seen in broad daylight over the Half Dome mountain. The mountains in the distance have fresh powder.

The corporate building at 300 South Riverside Plaza Chicago has a gorgeous curved design. Designed by Skid, Owing, and Merill, one gets the same view of #Chicago River from any floor due to the curvature. Creates these amazing reflections on the windows.

A marvel of construction designed by Goettsch Partners at 150 N Riverside Plaza, Chicago. The building is famous for its balancing act on its unusually small base as if an arrow shot from space and landed on the west bank of Chicago River. #Scape #Cityscape #photography #urbanscape

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.

Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.

Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.
