Chicago Ald. Byron Sigcho-Lopez has filed FEC paperwork to run for Congress in IL-04 as an independent, for the seat Chuy García is vacating. To even make the ballot he’ll need a massive number of signatures, I've heard at least 11,000.

big late breaking news: the market monitor for the largest energy grid in the u.s., covering much of the midwest and mid-atlantic, has called to block new data centers connections to the grid, saying current course of growth assures regular blackouts
No more PJM data centers unless they can be reliably served: market monitor
The PJM Interconnection’s market monitor urged the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to rule that large data centers can only come online if the grid operator can still meet reliability metrics.

So cool
I completed my final count. Out of 10,511 bus stops, I found that 4,360 (41%) of them could be removed to align with national best practices of 1/4 mile spacing. Long-form explainer article and an interactive map are forthcoming. Green dots are removed stops, black are kept stops.

I am not so sure what a 'brick' is; but I am thinking it is okay because I want to build my life with you. If you are the bricks then I will be the roof and protect you from storms.

Wow, Annemarie Gray AND Paul Williams on Zohran's transition team for housing! Nice!!! Very pro-housing picks. Big indicator that Zohran & the NYC DSA genuinely favor zoning and permitting reform, despite the defamatory, toxic and apparently ineffective, slander online.

The Republican National Committee is spending millions of dollars to harass and intimidate Missourians.

Don’t be scared.

You aren’t doing anything wrong by signing petitions. In fact, you are saving our state.

Who up boiling their cabbage
Chat, is it a good sign when the Atlantic's Thanksgiving take is "cabbage is affordable"?
Cabbage is affordable, delicious, and astoundingly versatile, @giladedelman.bsky.social writes. The underrated crucifer “is fit for a king”:

Three days in a row the Peregrines have arrived to harass the Snowies just after 10am. I'm too tired to edit the photos from today before a nap but here's a RAW look.

European cities are *compact*
I mean, Paris is actually quite a bit smaller with much denser metro lines.

Death, taxes and the Chicago Bulls getting embarrassed by the Miami Heat in must-win games.

Final scoreline: 143-107. Three players injured, one ejected, one fouled out.

Bulls are now all but eliminated from NBA Cup advancement after two group stage losses.
