In snowy weather, CTA bus riders must become mountaineers
Despite the CTA, Streets and San, CDOT, and nearby businesses all being responsible for cleaning snow from Chicago bus stops, the snow still manages to pile up, creating hazards for commuters.

I went outside this morning to feed the chickens in just a hoodie and said to myself “It’s kind of pleasant out this morning”. I checked the temp when I got back inside and it was only 12°. These Wisconsin winters really temper you against some harsh shit.

G & H Wet Wash Laundry, 6633-37 S. State St., Chicago
I guess it’s impressive that even half of this old industrial laundry is still standing, although it likely won't be for long.

Stop ordering rideshare & delivery services and that makes a bigger difference
Hot take: now that Chicago officially has the worst traffic in the country I am starting to think that everyone who can should switch as many trips as they can to bikes, transit and even carpooling to reduce and avoid said traffic as well as improve sustainability, mobility, and health. Sue me.

Yes, that's really Natalie Portman, in a movie shot on Baylor's campus.
It's "Where the Heart Is," a bit of Baylor trivia that came out 25 years ago this year:

It's been 25 years since Baylor's campus was featured in this Natalie Portman film
We almost let 2025 slip by without recognizing it as the 25th anniversary of a VERY important Baylor milestone... Yes, it has now been a quarter-century since Where the Heart Is was released in…

What I like about this cabinet is they go after the hard hitting shit. Fonts, chin-ups at the airport, I know I sleep better at night
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move
Rubio Stages Font Coup: Times New Roman Ousts Calibri
The secretary of state called it a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

A vacancy on the CTA’s board of directors could give Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson a chance to exert some control over the transit agency’s future.

I hate that there’s days when you can’t trust @chicagocta.bsky.social, you can’t trust CDOT to plow the bike lanes, and getting around Chicago without a car is a frustrating mess.

administrative and institutional democracy is a complex process. the dream of the unitary executive theorists/presidentialism-pilled media, punditry, and political class is that politics is just One Event rather than an ongoing and roiling series of actions, measures, and countermeasures
the unitarian notion of accountability is, in general, very strange as it holds that a single election — the president’s reelect — is more democratically accountable than the rolling process of democratic assent produced by legislative elections and congressional oversight.
