Yeah the difference between “people can choose whose posts they see (and are maybe choosing to not see yours!)” and “algorithm deliberately weighted to feed you right-wing radicalization” seems…unsubtle?
And if you prefer the latter that’s more about you than about people who prefer the former. 🤷🏼♂️
New from me for @bettergov.bsky.social: Chicago's city council made history in December by passing a budget over the mayor's objection. By the numbers, however, the mayor's spending plan remained mostly unchanged, with nearly all of the council-authored changes affecting revenue rather than spend.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
How do you do my fellow penguins

I thought that was Stephen Hopkins? But I am very willing to be re-educated if Mx. Pulaski made some sort of cameo during the Declaration drafting, tell me more!

Colored sketch of Revolutionary War hero and (probably) intersex bae Casimir Pulaski, looking very dapper with rosy cheeks and a wee little moustache.
Happy gender-ambiguous cavalry hero day to all who celebrate.
Got a little obsessed with this house a few years ago. Junot Whitehouse, the explosives exec this home was built for, is buried at Rosehill, having ended his days in the Elgin Insane Hospital labeled a "distracted person." The year before his death, there was all sorts of drama concerning his estate
The way I immediately knew this view just from the general shapes and colors, before even making out any words. 🤣😭😍

Chat is it good when a candidate in a very crowded primary starts sending campaign emails as unsolicited BCCs with no unsubscribe at the bottom?
i’m sorry what
The “Roll Call” podcast is just part of a larger push in recent years to expand CPD’s communications operation.
Comms have vastly expanded over the past decade, and costs rose along with it.
They're charged w/ misdemeanors for things like sitting on concrete barriers.
One w/ a felony for allegedly fingerpainting on a barrier.
The feds have dropped similar cases; the Cook County State's Attorney is prosecuting nearly all.

This explains a lot actually.
Bruce Springsteen making an album called Nebraska and filling it with even more songs about New Jersey is the most east coast shit anyone has ever done
In my eeriest yet Bluesky synchronicity (no not the album; this is not a long walk to a Police joke), this post crossed my feed while listening to Nebraska. 😱
(Which, despite my advancing age, is not THAT frequent of an occasion in my household.)

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.
