He was also incapable of giving analysis, he could only give opinion.

Repeatedly Fran asked him to speculate on who would be the next mayor or something like that and he could only answer with his like or dislike of specific people.

Eventually they're going to make a version of Stand Your Ground but for cars. Go ahead and ram that guy at the stoplight, he's blocking your freedom

I am seriously concerned about the future of the borough of Lincoln Square :((((((

We need a 4/20 for psilocybin

I want a mayoral administration that truly, seriously prioritizes public transit and active transit infra. Road diets, lower limits, the whole shebang. But if we ever get such a mayor, I suspect the transportation stuff will turn into such a huge political fight that it would endanger reelection.

The 10 nuclear reactors that power the ComEd region of Illinois have saved ratepayers billions of dollars since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. And they have effectively decarbonized the electricity we consume in the region. Just incredible stuff. I wish they were publicly owned.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

status page as of april 16, displaying the incident making the site unusable

api.pop1 down and experiencing the outage making the site unusual. note last 7 days uptime is 93%, so for the next week uptime shouldn't be able to rise above that if the previous week was quiet

status page now, with api.pop1 and api.pop2 mysteriously removed

current recorded uptime and status updates, which show a notable lack of reginos

hi @bsky.app, wanted to report an issue with status.bsky.app - it seems the status page no longer lists the incident making the site unusable on the 16th, and the servers that experienced the outages are missing. do you have any idea where they went? i'm worried for the well-being of our reginos
