Quando omni flunkus, moritati I look at spreadsheets & decide things for a living. Self-professed crazy cat dude. Devoted husband, DIYer, lefty, tinkerer + I cook & I think I’m pretty funny. Big sci-fi nerd. Also, I believe blocking is self-care.

Il semble assez clair que le PQ doit se départir de PSPP et sa philosophie. C’est une question morale, pas une question politique.

J’étais tellement content de voir un politicien aussi important que Labeaume avoir le courage de le dénoncer. C’est une voix que nul ne peut ignorer. Pas pour rien que PSPP a déchiré sa chemise sur la place publique après.

A Burger King becomes 31 new homes in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago

Before-and-after collage of the same Chicago corner.
Top image, labeled “2021”: a low Burger King with drive-thru sits behind a wide asphalt parking lot; fall trees with sparse leaves and a tall residential tower are visible at left.
Bottom image, labeled “2025”: the site has a new four-story red-and-tan brick condominium building with black-framed windows and recessed balconies; cars line the curb and a few people stand near the entrance; the same tall tower appears at left in the distance.

https://chicagoyimby.com/2025/08/condominium-development-nears-completion-on-irving-park-road-in-lake-view.html

What the linked article says (quick take)
• The project is 3951 Wayne, a 31-unit condo building at 1323 W Irving Park Rd (Irving Park & Wayne) on the former Burger King site. A demo permit for the restaurant was issued Jan 2024; construction approvals followed about three months later, with foundation work starting the next summer; the building is nearing completion as of Aug 6, 2025.
• Homes are mainly 3- and 4-bedroom units averaging ~2,000 sq ft, each with private outdoor space; balconies include built-in grills. There’s a garage with 31 indoor spaces and a shared roof deck above it.
• Pricing noted on site begins in the upper $900k range, with larger units listed up to the high $1.3M range; several units are already under contract.
• Transit: within a block of CTA 22 and 80 buses; ~½ mile to Sheridan (Red Line) and Irving Park (Brown Line); 9/X9 buses stop at Ashland Ave a few blocks west.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Thursday a decision on whether to pursue the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination comes down to whether he thinks he can meet “both the challenge and the promise of tomorrow” and execute on it.

Rozier is more straightforward because his crime is participating in gambling while being in a position to influence the results (like by pulling himself from the game early). Billups and Jones were apparently involved with rigged mafia-run poker games designed to extract money from rich marks.

Yeah I was speaking more in generalities. I hope he won’t win and don’t actually think he will, but it’s still concerning that it *keeps happening* more generally.

Shocking though that they’re getting nailed for *illegal* gambling. Like holy fuck man, people are losing their shirts and hitting rock bottom betting on their phones on the shitter, legally. Like you have to go out of your way to gamble illegally now. JFC
