Never forget.

Historic image of Water Tower ruins after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Probably my favorite historic image of the 1871 Great Chicago Fire. Apparently coffee shops were just as important in the 1870s as they are today. Hurry somebody open up “Burnt District Coffee House” ASAP!

Historic image from the C.R. Clark photograph book (Newberry Library) that shows the Court House Ruins at Clark & Washington after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

Historic image looking down Pine Street (what is now Michigan Avenue) with the Water Tower ruins after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.

A lot of these guys go to Riyadh or Dubai and say wow this is great, no unions no protestors, how can we get this? I genuinely think it's the model going forward but no one is allowed to say it out loud for obvious reasons

In Alberta I think, the head of the police plainly said he doesn't care who the pm or governor is because he's the one actually in charge. So there's plenty of this going around

This is personalism. It's the Charles I scenario -- the king rules without the a legislature and simply taxes and spends in whatever way he feels like.

Impeach, remove, disqualify.

an unfortunate irony about this post - and even if you are the staunchest anti-ai critic out there, i think you’d agree - is that some of the most bigoted things are being said to respond to this. copy/pasting phrasing and terminology used by bigots but replacing “dna” with “bits” doesn’t make it ok

i’m completely serious when i say that much of the dismissive ai discourse on here fires the bigotry neuron

Chuck Schumer is talking about bipartisan solutions while Stephen Miller is on CNN saying the president has plenary authority ie power without limitation www.reddit.com/r/law/s/tJKa...

From the law community on Reddit: Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

I think there's actually a huge gap in created meaning and interest between "this is a train that did exist" and "this is a train I made up", but it's not insurmountable

Nerd bait take: 40k should have trains you know because autistic people are stereotyped as enthusiastic about both
Actual take: adeptus/dark mechanicum would be cooler with train units
