Seeing a lot of “what about cars” dunks on this, which of course mentions cars first among “bigger culprits,” but actually it’s story about a promising intervention to reduce our climate impact that our shitty healthcare system largely does not cover. Europe, and our VA, are already making the shift

@1password.bsky.social @beeper.com figure it out
@signal.org you're cool

Screenshot of a dialog with the following text, followed by an OK button:

The following Electron apps were checked:

❌ Beeper Desktop.app (33.2.0)
❌ 1Password.app (37.3.1)
✅ Signal.app (38.2.0)

Apps with an ❌ can be slowing down your Mac and need to be updated for Tahoe.

One of the would-be unsubscribers found a thread about the conference updating their forum experience and replied that they should consider changing the new default email settings. Someone replied, explaining how to change your personal settings (again). Others continue to introduce themselves.

The intro sharers are now trying to "help" the unsubscriber hopefuls change their notification settings instead of moving the conversation elsewhere

Currently on an email thread where half of the participants are sharing paragraphs-long introductions and the other half are trying to explain that they are emailing (many?) thousands of people who may have attended a massive conference any time in the last decade

Ald. Brendan Reilly is running for Cook County Board President and his base is people who’d beat him in broad daylight if he said “showing a warrant before detention is not optional” or “due process is not negotiable”

I've shared multiple articles about the ICE raid at 75th & South Shore Drive because no one of them captures everything important:
-simmering tensions over Venezuelan migrants into a Black neighborhood that is the eviction capital of Chicago
-prior deplorable conditions & lack of maintenance

I’m out, I'm sore. I'll have more later, but right now I have to say a couple of things. First, walking out of there to learn about the kindness, support, and quick action from so many of you all has meant the world to me, my wife, and co-founder, Raven. Thank you.

So this two-person shop has become a load-bearing element of Chicago's coverage of what's happening with the ICE raids. The least you can do is support em: unraveledpress.com/support-unra...

Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.
