Solution is simple

Give all criminals also horses

Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune.com · 16h

From the Editorial Board:

As Mayor Brandon Johnson prepares to give his budget address Thursday, one idea should get tossed aside: eliminating Chicago’s mounted police unit.

Editorial: Chicago budget should not cut mounted police nor sell off their horses

Is Chicago really going to sell off the horse named for Officer Ella French?

Video game where you are a pair of ragdoll cats who must heist a mystical Egyptian cat statue from the British Museum.

You have to stake out the place, figure out a plan, execute it flawlessly etc. While being cats.

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Can't call them fascists?

I feel like this goes hand in hand with my ever solidifying theory that niche subcultures and the mainstream have merged in a way that has amplified the worst aspects of both.

I think the leak of the incredibly racist young republican group chat only furthers the argument that millennials were the only generation able to use the computer without going insane, mostly because the computer was once a place separate from the real world. but now the real world is also computer

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic

This is what happens when you request books from the library! Place a hold or an alert on Libby! Fill out the request firm on the library website! Ask at the front desk! You and your neighborhood get cool books and authors get paid. Libraries are so dang cool.

Image shows a partial screenshot of the Libby library lending app. A square version of the cover for Emily St. James’ 2025 novel “Woodworking” is shown, with the following text:

The Wait Is Over
Ready to borrow!
Woodworking
12 HOURS
Borrow
Manage Hold
Deliver Later
Placed 25 Mar
Your hold is ready after 2 weeks, including 1 redelivery, because the library acquired 59 more copies.

A red underline is beneath “the library acquired 59 more copies.”

I really doubt I have anything to say people aren't already aware of; but "Establishment Dems helping underwrite a Far Right conspiracy 'documentary'" serves a pretty obvious microcosm of both why the Far Right keeps getting gas no matter how despicable they get and why the "Center" is so odious

The moderates of this city really want to deliver a Republican legislature next year. And corporate democrats are giving them the lay up.

It won’t hurt progressives. But it will hurt the top of the ticket next year.

Former KARE-11 anchor Rick Kupchella won’t say who paid for the film that paints a dark picture of Minneapolis and progressive City Council members, who dispute policies the film ascribes to them.

What to make of ‘A Precarious State,’ the new film that sees Minneapolis through a dark lens

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

And sometimes they'll go so far as your Russel Brand/Louis CK types and drop it all to go full Chudd to escape The Allegations; but even if they don't, there's this vast shallow sea of political opportunity to Tsk Tsk Orange Man but concede a slowly growing swath of the beliefs he represents.

But there's a lot of people who have this Nominal Liberal politic, or may even be marginalized in one or two ways, who Make It™️ and develop this myopic hyperfocus on their own individual success or political sensibility.

Like I think there's a certain strata of "Your Shit is At Risk of Being Fucked"-ness that doesn't necessarily, but CAN, inculcate an awareness of the intersectional nature of our survival and liberation (god i hate talking like this)

1. Money, previously
2. Between Gaza and the Radical Feminist packaging stretched over everything from transphobia to religious fundamentalism; we're in an era primed to market reactionary politics to nominally liberal people in certain (usually petit bourgeois) social spheres.
