Last night yet another person walked through the busted down gate to scream at our neighbor's house. He broke his fucking door down and threatened to kill him. It's fucking scary this shit keeps happening in the middle of the night.

The SCREEN Act is not just another age-verification bill — it goes much further than anything passed at the state-level or in other countries. 1. The bill doesn't just target porn sites. It goes after *any* site that allows material "harmful" to minors. You'd have to scan your face to use Google.

The largest cause of deforestation is, and has been, the expansion of farmland. But the production of which products, in particular, has been driving this in recent decades? A recent study, published in Nature Food by Chandrakant Singh and Martin Persson, answered this question.

Busy day for ICE across Chicagoland. Reports of encounters with agents across the heavily Latine Chicago neighborhoods of Hermosa and Austin, and in the suburbs of Wheeling and Naperville. Rapid responders report at least 5 people detained this morning in Naperville; 1 person detained in Austin.

also it seems like things would be better if we had ranked choice voting in Chicago. maybe

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

you ever think about how we only have butt cheeks bc we’re bipedal

Based on what I've seen happen to people I know in the last couple years, I'm pretty sure the next decade or so is going to require some very serious thought about how badly these things can fuck a person up.

I feel like takes scoffing at the idea that people could have addictive behavior patterns relating to LLMs are likely to age poorly

that’s what they get. They sold out a decades-long humanitarian project to appease a nazi and the nazi still isn’t satisfied

This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

TFW it’s MORE than 100 gar!!!

it always rains like crazy without fail every Lolla weekend lolol. there are many sights that define a Chicago summer, but one of them is hordes of muddy, drunk suburbanites huddled in every Dunkin and Walgreens in the Loop until the stages open back up from their rain pause

A large trial found no evidence that Hepa air filters reduce respiratory infections in care homes, challenging assumptions about their role in infection control.

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year

I worked at Disney a while ago. Do you know why theme parks are so safe? Because OOSHA reps can walk the track on any ride at any time and any safety violation they see is a $10,000 fine. Each. Theme parks are not safe because the company cares. They're safe because it's cheaper to comply.

Turns out that food companies were only checking their food because the government told them to, which is exactly why we need government regulations.

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.
