Doesn't sound like Waymo doing illegal things is making us more safe, sounds like waymo problems...

Panel 1 In front of a store with pink awnings, two folks, one goth with pink bangs and the other with wavy blonde hair, wave goodbye to Elise wearing a red beanie and jean jacket who waves back. Goth: text us when you get home! Love yaaa! Elise: you too! Love you back! Panel 2 Elise passes by a store window and notices their reflection staring back at them anxiously. Panel 3 Elise leans towards their reflection. Regular Elise has a soft smile on their face while the reflection looks down anxiously with clenched fists. Elise: I’m gonna stop you right there, champ. Don’t over analyze how you did, okay? You know these folks. If you upset them, they’ll tell you and then we’ll work through it. Panel 4 Close up on Elise’s white sneakers as they continue walking. Panel 5 The back view of Elise as they stroll away. Text boxes: Trust them. Trust you.

Yup. Hauled a similar amount with just a wheeled wagon back home from our ACE that's three blocks away.

Oh no, did the post break containment?

All I have learned is that no one actually pronounces it the same because each pronunciation I've heard I've nodded and gone, "yeah that sounds feasible."

"This Belongs In A Museum"

I'd watch that

Some friends and I spent last night making tons of buttons and stickers to give away at our first community slow roll ride on Friday. Now just have to create the route!

The Disappearance of the Public Bench Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

"Benches aren’t just disappearing from large railroad stations, but also from subways, parks, plazas, sidewalks, and esplanades."

This is a huge problem, but it's weird to write such a long piece w/o mentioning William Whyte, author of Social Lives of Small Urban Spaces, who first raised the issue.

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car.

Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month.

No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

If 2026 really goes our way, we must become the very thing Republicans fear most.

Woke 3 is just Reconstruction 2.

Happy Earth Day, please enjoy these extremely metal Rogers Park bird murals speaking to the importance of treasuring our little blue marble

@danielbiss.bsky.social, Evanston mayor and Dem nominee for Congress, rode with ETA leaders along the Sheridan Rd protected bike lane in solidarity with @bikeleague.org @atalliance.bsky.social @waba.org and all others fighting against Trump admin threats to safe streets #BikeLanesSaveLives

Is this because of the new RTA proposal and just who is going to pay for it?

It may have occurred here, but Chicago is also headquarters to a lot of reactionary organizations, including the American Bar Association, in addition to the numerous financial groups.

In this case it's liability concerns (isolated site) mixed with limited financial gain, mostly due to the unique siting of a lot of our area's community colleges. Being on top of former landfill isn't exactly super desirable property, and they pull from a large area.

I have made this same pitch to my friend who works in the accounting department at our community college.

To put it another way, if you fill up a totally-empty gas guzzler with a 16-gallon tank in Chicago, the state sales tax on gas comes out to almost exactly the cost of a single round-trip on a CTA bus. Which of those two options should we be financially incentivizing during a gas price shock?

Here’s your “relief at the pump”

It should not be faster for me to go from Arlington Heights to Glencoe via Ogilvie or Clybourn, instead of via Pace Pulse Dempster.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

Editorial: Let’s get some ‘Pothole Politics’ here from Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s New York Sewer socialism might not be as bad as it sounds.

Proud to be a sewer socialist, and happy to see the closest thing we’ll get to praise from the Trib editorial board about it www.chicagotribune.com/2026/04/19/e...

Today in the Tulips. The start of Sunday in Chicago’s South Loop.

Fan art of the main trio in My Adventures With Superman, from left to right: Jimmy Olsen is holding a camera in his right hand and giving Lois a thumbs up with his left, Clark Kent towers over his friends and looks very concerned as he tries talk Lois out of doing something dangerous, and Lois lane,who's beaming and pumped up at the idea of doing something dangerous.

Wait, today is Superman day? Lemme dig up all the MAWS fan art I did a while ago!

Things that are simultaneously correct:
•There are more passenger rail services connecting more communities in the U.S. now than the last 75 years, and in some places, ever.
•Given our resources and by international comparison, we’re still way behind many other countries.

This better end with her giving guns to John Brown or so help me God!!!

I was watching the new Riding the Rails with Geoffrey Baer on WTTW, and they mentioned how Ogilvie was designed by Helmut Jahn and I immediately remembered how that visionary was also killed by drivers.
