Funnily enough, I checked in with CTA and they're actually urging Chicagoans not to be alone with Ald. Jim Gardiner after dark.

Man, it is very unfortunate we beat www into everyone brains and then years later we insist on running sites off of the bare domain

The constant, simmering background stress and anxiety I felt when they were in Chicago this fall was unlike anything I had ever experienced. They fucking suck.
For people who have not yet had ICE descend on their city, I think it’s hard to convey how all-encompassing their presence is. You constantly hear about the neighbors they’ve taken, get texts about where not to go that day, see signs from where people were taken, hear whistles from down your block.
ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

This is definitely a me problem, but Rust seems to have 2-3 options and I'm dumb enough to go read about each of them every time

Yeah sorry boss I've spent 4 hours deliberating if I should open my copy of The Linux Programming Interface to see if it has a chapter on sysfs or if that would ruin my productivity since my monitor sits on top of it so I got nothing done today

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.
I love you all and am holding your hand as I say this:

Dems wield zero hard power levers
it's kind of crazy that there's even any question that democrats are going to do anything about this

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti.

Mattia sips on an espresso during his.

Truly the heroes we need during these times.

Chicago, if ABC don't bring back wasted local news people with cringey local on-site party check-ins from Hammond, Indiana and Aurora next year, we riot.
