When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

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.

Change in Abstract

Before: The Consumer Price Index for September, released late because of the government shutdown, may reflect the effects of President Trump’s tariffs on a wide variety of imported products.
After: The Consumer Price Index rose 3 percent from a year earlier in a report delayed because of the government shutdown.

Anyone of any gender should have access to hormone therapy, but to opine that HRT is cool and based for cis people to improve their sex lives while in the same breath demonizing transgender people for supposedly being sick sex-freaks is fucking infuriating.

Brady! 🏳️‍⚧️ @like-the-bunch.bsky.social · 2d

when trans people take HRT to feel normal: “look at these depraved sex freaks performing their sick fetish in public, we should bully them out of existence”

when cis ppl take HRT so they can fuck real good:

NYT Magazine headline “‘I'm on Fire': Testosterone Is Giving Women Back Their Sex Drive - and Then Some
There is no F.D.A.-approved testosterone product for women. Insurance won't cover it. Many doctors won't prescribe it. It's become a cultural phenomenon.”

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Fuck Ben Gvir’s evil, stupid, fat ass. Who is also a convicted terrorist.

He is a genocidal freak who wants to kill children. Yet he had the nerve to call the flotilla activists terrorists.

Every accusation is a confession w Israelis. They are a genocidal terror state!

Fall in Ottawa is so beautiful because it's when the city adds a third colour (yellow) to its much hyped brown and grey palate.

The attempt at using homosexuality as a negative against him aside (because that's normal conservative moralizing nonsense) the fact the other guy called a CEO their "superior" really says a lot about conservative thinking

The United States has the most-remarkable store of human talent in modern history. Yet, among our vast intellectual capacity, no one can figure out how to stop this treasonous man-baby? How is this even remotely possible?!

Trump's ballroom ain't bringin' down the price of groceries or the cost of healthcare.

Trump literally cares more about Argentina than Americans.

Mueller, She Wrote @muellershewrote.com · 1d

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

So the reason they’re calling it the Epstein Ballroom is to celebrate the President’s best friend Jeffrey Epstein. They had one special thing in common and the Epstein Ballroom will remind everyone of that one thing. In the Epstein Ballroom.
