What will become of artist Roger Brown’s house? Ask the developer who bought it

"The elements a Chicago landmark designation protects are unique to each property, and, in the case of the Brown home, such protection is limited to the exterior. Included is the original iron-frame storefront façade and a “ghost sign” on the north side of the house – a fading painted advertisement for the Daily News, a newspaper that ceased operations in 1978."

"'I really liked the fact that this was a really big house already, and I didn’t see a reason to tear it down,' he said. 'I like those projects where you can keep the history of it.'

landlord butchered the wildflowers in the yard for no reason and the only thing i’ve learned is that half of women i know have some experience of men pointlessly killing flowers either by accident or on purpose and not getting why it’s an issue

Some of y’all aren’t scared enough about running out of potable water. We need it to survive, our pets and farms do too. Data centres are using it up and wasting it. They project we could run out by 2039. Thirteen years. Stop asking AI questions, it’s not worth it.

Things the recovery industry will not tell you:

1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.

2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.

3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.

4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.

5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.

6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.

7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)

8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.

9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.

10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.

[Dr. Heidi Klessig @heidiklessigmd]

After heart surgery, the parents of a 13-year-old girl were told that their daughter was dying, and that they should start making end-of-life decisions, including donating her organs.

Upon transferring their daughter to another hospital however, they were told that doctors at Oregon Health and Science University had installed her new heart valve upside down.

“Doctors at Seattle Children's removed the inverted valve and replaced it with a different one, properly positioned. Her heart promptly began to function correctly. She was successfully taken off cardiac bypass and no longer required ECMO.

Her condition continued to stabilize over the following days in Seattle Children's ICU. After more than a month in critical condition, she was able to return home with her parents.”

someone a lot smarter than me should write a book on how this recent push for "parental control" and "age verification" features in our technology is codifying a very specific kind of legal doctrine of parental ownership into our everyday lives

This is the kind of shit that makes my blood boil. We have thousands of Holocaust museums and memorials in this country and the damn thing didn’t even happen here… but a small town in BFE Wisconsin wants to name its library after an American ship and her crew and the organized American Jewish community has a friggin conniption.

Flash forward 37 years and the Jewish Chronicle is STILL claiming that simply naming the library after the USS Liberty made it a “symbol of hate.”

No they didn’t Pete. Over 60% were drafted. And that’s the point. They went all the way to Berlin. War is terrible. Honor and duty.

peep the xtian dog whistle. "send me" is from the old testament book of Isaiah, today it's commonly used as a rallying cry for doing "God's will".

Most modern billionaires are just so tacky. Go endow a library. Fund research and get your name on a cancer center. Sponsor an eccentric polymath who’s obsessed with marble. Build a museum. Fund public parks. Back climate research. Create something that outlives your ego.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

Gaza is taking its last breaths, and the situation we have reached is extremely dangerous.

Temperatures are rising to suffocating levels, and the tents where hundreds of thousands live have turned into ovens made of fabric and plastic. There is no electricity, no air conditioning, no fans, no cold water. People try to sleep, but heat, hunger, and fear make sleep seem like an impossible dream.

Clean water is scarce, cleaning supplies are almost nonexistent, and essential medicines are unavailable. Skin diseases are spreading in a terrifying way among children and adults, while garbage piles up and sewage mixes with displacement areas, spreading even more suffering.

Long lines form for food, yet many return empty handed. Aid is decreasing, and most relief centers have stopped or are no longer able to meet even the minimum needs.

At night, rats, insects, snakes, and scorpions crawl into the tents, while during the day people face unbearable heat and endless hunger. There is no safety, no privacy, and nowhere to go. Meanwhile, killings and destruction continue daily, while Gaza’s space shrinks day by day, forcing people into smaller and more overcrowded areas.

This is not life. This is not displacement. This is a complete collapse of everything that allows human beings to live with dignity.

What more is the world waiting for? How many children must go hungry? How many patients must die before the world acts? Do not stay silent. Speak about Gaza. Share what is happening.

i like how their first instinct is "it’s fake food" and not "it’s poor quality produce that wasn’t conserved properly in the supply chain" so now instead of advocating for better food regulations they just spat out conspiracy theories online
