@fiago7 Another vote for Au Cheval. Also Kuma’s Corner burgers slap pretty hard

Honestly, i don't understand this economy when nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt our grandparents but nursing home aides need to use food banks.

daycare is so expensive it eats up one parent's entire paycheck and yet daycare providers only make $10/hr and need second jobs.

college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and puts students into debt for life and yet we have thousands of professors living in their cars.

everything we need is astronomically expensive and yet almost none of the money we pay is going towards the people actually doing the work and providing the services.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

So under full Republican control, the Republican controlled Senate can’t pass the Save America Act for election integrity, the House just passed a bill giving another $9 billion to Ukraine, Republicans are planning to merge our military with Israel’s military while Trump has us in another foreign war that’s costing $2 billion a day and has driven gas over $4.50, and not a single person has been held accountable for the pedo Epstein files.

I don’t want any more safe and effective vaccines.

I want them to stop engineering ticks and viruses as bio weapons.

Chicago renters should be paying attention. Brandon Johnson just announced his new ordinance that he claims will go after landlords. Making you pay for tenants move out costs if you raise rent by $200 and making them pay up to $10,000 if they want to renovate their building and have you move. Guess who’s going to pay the costs?

You.

Through higher rents.
Through fewer available apartments.
Through tougher approval standards.

Brandon Johnson is selling this as tenant protection.

But every time City Hall makes it harder to provide housing, it becomes harder to find housing. That’s the part they won’t tell you. We need to BUILD housing on the 50k vacant pieces of land not make it harder for landlords and renters.

How dare the peasants complain about data centers stealing their water and driving the cost of electricity!!

How dare the peasants complain AI will replace their jobs!!

The peasants are dangerous extremists if they don’t shut up and comply!!

[Døm @0xDomitian]

At this point, we need to just ban the H-1B visa entirely. You aren't going to convince me there is a "labor shortage" when 42% of recent college grads are underemployed, stuck in jobs that don't require their degree.

Start giving people a chance instead of throwing away their future for your own greed. It's destroying our country.

Teenagers have started calling AI art "boomer art" and consider it cringe, and YouTubers have stopped using AI-generated thumbnails because teenagers find them cringe and won't click on them. I honestly couldn't be happier.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

[Vlad Mihalcea @vlad_mihalcea]

Reviewing code generated by AI offsets all the productivity gains you get by using AI. It takes a lot of effort to review and validate changes, and you cannot do that for 8 hours per day.

Unless you are vibe coding, the actual productivity gains are marginal in large projects where software mistakes cost a lot of money.

[Paul Tassi @PaulTassi]

yeah

it might just be over. like my whole industry

I don't really know where to go from here. How do you exist in an ecosystem that takes all your work and gives you nothing in return

[Andrew Torba @BasedTorba]

It's pretty funny the whole market is propped up by like 10 companies exchanging the same money between each other

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

Climate alarmism disappeared the moment companies needed data centers.

Yeah, we noticed.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Yeah turns out the people who hate data centers are being completely and totally reasonable

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Big Tech companies are sprinting forward, building data centers as fast as they can, sometimes using eminent domain to seize the land by force, making their AI more and more powerful, expanding the technology at lightening speed with no guardrails of any kind at all. Yet none of these tech gurus or any of their apologists have even attempted to explain what exactly all of the millions of people who lose their jobs, and the increasing numbers who lose their homes, all sacrificed on the AI altar, are supposed to do. How does society support millions of unemployed and displaced people? What becomes of a society where algorithms and machines do everything, and a few people become trillionaires while millions more lose everything? There is no answer to any of this. They aren’t even attempting to answer it. Instead we’re simply told that China exists and we have to “beat them” in some unspecified way, in order to achieve some unspecified goal. We’re going to obliterate entire industries, entire categories of jobs all at once, and the only justification anyone can give is “China.” It’s madness.

“If driving is made difficult enough, this thinking goes, more people will abandon their cars.”

Today’s bike lane movement is driven by irrational car hatred more than rider safety. It is led by fringe ideological zealots and must be completely dismantled.

[Dan Proft @DanProft]

The rap sheet of the man who murdered one Chicago cop and critically injured another.

One year ago, he was arrested for aggravated vehicular carjacking and armed robbery...wait for it...WHILE on pretrial release (H/T Pritzker) for three separate cases at the time of the robbery and carjacking: a 2023 stolen vehicle and aggravated fleeing case; a 2024 charge for aggravated battery of peace officers; and a misdemeanor domestic battery case filed in January of 2025.

Another habitual offender turned out again and again to violate law-abiding citizens by a political ruling class that could not care less about them. And now a cop is dead and another one is clinging to life.

Illinois.
