Just dealing with life and what it throws at me. Diehard Cubs fan! Political has made jaded, I don't like the right or the left.
I feel like some days I need a warning my posts get really weird, today may be one of them.
This is a major problem for Chicago, and Illinois. Our governor has been shutting down power plants. Yet he wants to attract these high level computing centers (more than just AI needs these high level power requirements). Yes, the US is absolutely losing the power generation…
Anthropic predicting 2-5GW single model data centers soon. I don’t see this trend stopping. US needs a lot more power. States that make power infrastructure investment and permitting easier are going to be economically advantaged relative to those that don’t. CC: Illinois…
Why does Trump act like the only reason people want the Epstein files released is to pin him to it?
JUST IN - Trump says the Democrats didn't have a "'smoking gun'" on the Epstein "'files'" which is why they didn't "use" them: "THEY HAD NOTHING!!!"
"Japan has deployed the Yoroi Reactor, a sealed, shipping container-sized microreactor, in remote communities... Using molten salt cooling and low-enriched uranium, the reactor features passive safety systems and no meltdown risk. Two units are already operational in Hokkaido."
Science from space - one of the highlights of this mission was conducting science in microgravity. Simple experiments become complex due to the environment of microgravity. Since everything floats, nothing would break if you leave it but would surely float away and you may end up…
More mismanagement by one of the kings of mismanagement...
Controversy: Orland Park DMV to close @ILSecOfState NOT supportive nbcchicago.app.link/dRrTvDkedVb
It is ridiculous that the only way to schedule an appointment at the dmv is at 630 am the morning of. @ILSecOfState is more concerned with his face being all over the website and notifying paperwork than he is with servicing his constituents.
The Nurse Licensure Compact would mean more nurses, faster care, and flexibility. Illinois said no. Why? Because union bosses told lawmakers "no." illinoispolicy.org/illinois-nurse…
New: CPD brass accused Mayor Brandon Johnson’s administration of deliberately slowing down paychecks for dozens of employees this summer in a fiery email that warned the city was jeopardizing its compliance with the federal consent decree. chicagotribune.com/2025/07/22/pol…
If I recall correctly, the TdA people were ones they would not take back directly from the US. All 10 from my understanding are political prisoners. (As well as some others he got for other countries.) Well done, this is some team work. People are back home, all around.

What is the background of the ten Americans? The background of the ten Americans released from Venezuela in the prisoner swap involves a mix of personal circumstances and political dynamics: Lucas Hunter: A 37-year-old American, Hunter was reportedly kidnapped by Venezuelan…
No Narcan vending machine nearby?
Another day on the CTA. Reported it to the station attendant.
X CHAT is live but most people still use the DMs since THEY DON'T KNOW about it! X DM feature is outdated and you can't even send a file! Maybe X should replace X DMs with X CHAT completely cause having two different methods is CONFUSING for most users!
Humm... How about we not. The government keeps out of private business, let both teams go with the names they wish and stops being the little dictator that he is attempting. If people have issues with it, then don't go to the games.
Well I KNOW that I’ll be watching this static fire! Truly impressive how SpaceX is able to adapt and overcome
The Starship launch mount static fire adapter has been lifted into position today in preparation for upcoming static fire testing of Starship 37 ahead of Starship test flight 10. 7/18/25
Hey, your last few tax submissions matched perfectly... Where are the audits.
The Supreme Court just gave the green light to a presidential power grab that guts the very agency meant to protect our students - the US Department of Education. In McMahon v. New York, the Supreme Court sided with mass firings and chaos over stability and equity. Justice…
Pensions cannot be discharged by bankruptcy, so Chicago cannot even get out of it that way. We have to fund these pensions one way or another. We legally owe them.
WATCH: Illinois comptroller and potential mayoral candidate Susana Mendoza responds to the Chicago pension sweetener bill now sitting on Gov. JB Pritzker’s desk. This is an outstanding answer. Exactly what Mayor Brandon Johnson and City Council members should be saying.
Boss Toni's Cook County Democratic Machine will soon convene a slating meeting. Samantha Steele, who is famous for her recent DUI arrest, barreled into several vehicles, attempted to flee, and then sexually harassed CPD on scene. An entitled brat, Steele never apologized,…
NEW: Cook County Inspector General Report: Board of Review Commissioner Samantha Steele violated ethics rules by hiding her Indiana government gigs and contracts in 3 years of disclosures. Hired Indiana political allies too in alleged quid pro quos.
