I love bringing out this anecdote about Rahm:

Someone is going to have to write a "here's why Rahm sucks" piece in the national press, for the benefit of those in the national press who have no damn memories.

Besides Laquan McDonald, here's an example: he is to the right of Pelosi, and his alleged acumen almost doomed the ACA.

I always like to remind people, the majority of Gen Xers weren't Kurt Cobain, they were his classmates who bullied him in school

All the while he was an asinine, arrogant @sshole as the grenade went off in his hand. Ill-prepared, ignorant MAGA poster child.

Hah, I was specifically thinking of this one when I made the comment above

He added my account the other day; I asked and he actually pointed to a repost that was, actually, AI. (A cute animal vid; I missed the tells.)

I un-did my repost, but I'm sure most of the people he adds aren't getting a clue why they're getting added.

I'm still on the list, too.

The odds are this guy is about to say the most uninformed, annoying, wrong thing possible
On this day in 1943, the first of Norman Rockwell's Four Freedoms graced the cover of "The Saturday Evening Post" magazine.

Attention to people living in Illinois, Chicago: you have until Thursday to register a formal message to the state legislature that requiring age verification to install Linux is a horrible idea. This doesn't require writing anything, just filling out a form. Click through this quoted post:
PLEASE y'all, file witness slips in opposition of this ILGA bill that would require OPERATING SYSTEM-LEVEL AGE VERIFICATION.

This is a bad bill on privacy and a bad bill on rights and a technical nightmare with terrible implications. There is no implementation of this that would be good.

Basically, I don't want to be, shall we say, "fettermaned" again. This guy definitely looks better than that.

Anyway, time for me to repost my thread listing most of the many ways Rahm sucks:

I can't be sure their BS in Oregon was the true cause, but the candidate they were spending against lost.

Incidentally the link to "Classic Chicago Magazine" is a 404 error, but you can see it on the Internet Archive. It's an interview with his wife.

This is a regular reminder for Chicagoans reasonably near Montrose & Kedzie, that Sottomarino makes fantastic subs

Going forward I am just going to assume that any single government service that does anything remotely good is going to be shrunk down to a rump so they can pretend it is still working. I assume the savings will be going to a contract that mandates every federal vehicle be a cybertruck.
Now under Trump, the NIH says it is cutting ~$9 billion in federal research grants supporting medical research ranging from cancer to Alzheimer's diseases.

I just realized that in 4 years we will have another Most Important Election Of Our Lives.

It's going to be this way forever. Better get used to it
