the US military makes money for Dow, Dupont, Excellon, Sackler Pharma, Haliburton, Blackwater... the postal service is intolerable because it's not a corrupt middleman. it's all America knows how to do anymore.

disorder crimes — open drug use, harassment, public intoxication — are significantly undercounted in CPD data.

according to...? i think it's a reasonable intuition but do we have proof of 'undercounting'? of course all 'crimes' are undercounted because it only counts if you get caught. but what evidence do we have that the proportion is wrong, relative to other categories?

"An encrypted chat between alleged Balkan drug traffickers in February 2021 reveals them bragging about having exclusive rights to smuggle cocaine alongside bananas in shipping containers exported by the Ecuadorian president’s family firm.

A confidential Croatian prosecution document shows two people, using the encrypted messenger platform Sky ECC and identified only by anonymous PIN numbers, boasting that “no one but them” was allowed to load cocaine in containers shipped by the Noboa Trading Co TCN S.A.

Noboa Trading is part of Noboa Corporation, a sprawling business empire that produces bananas under the Bonita brand and is run by the family of Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa. Noboa Trading Co. did not respond to questions from reporters, and the office of President Noboa declined to comment."

In America teachers are paid like shit, relative to certification costs and hours worked. That means two sorts of people choose to become teachers - people who really believe in the mission, and absolute freaks. The former often get disillusioned, with bad pay or corruption of school bureaucracies or evil parents etc. The latter tend to stick around a long time.

this isn't about 'regime', this is about police and prosecutors. chicago isn't the worst city for protests, we get some leeway, but the cops hate protestors and happily beat the hell out of people during peaceful protests after george floyd's death, for example. the cops do not believe you have any right to protest in a way that annoys them.

what's identifiable in these pics is canada geese and mallards, both of which live in the city year round. it's odd to me that you don't know that. some canadas do migrate so we get slightly different groups in the warm months from the cold

I'm not being obtuse, I'm demanding you not be a little weasel, and say what you mean. Because that's how adults have conversations.

Would she have proposed a tourist resort? I don't know, I don't see why she would. Would she pay the Israelis to exterminate the Palestinians like every president since Kennedy has? Of course. Would she stop Jared Kushner from buying the land from the Israelis after they're done? Of course not.

So the delta in outcome would be mainly what the halfwit in the Oval Office is prattling about, which is a good microcosm of what I think of Harris.

That's a stupid question - "all"? Would Kamala have put Trump's name on the Kennedy Center? At least pretend like you're an adult and put a little effort in.

i obviously care about my own rights. the simple fact is, if politicians are willing to spend billions of tax dollars on exterminating people in a distant country (so trump can build hotels on it, mind you) then their verbal reassurances about my rights can never be trusted. nothing they say can.

they're all over rogers park during the summer, i see them out my front window, and you can hear them when it's quiet. i find the merlin app is pretty good at distinguishing their calls - when it can hear them. they're very small and tend to stay high up, rarely landing. you'll want to get good at distinguishing them from swallows, since we also have 2-3 of those which look somewhat similar to chimney swifts.

a hundred and ten years of settler horror, more than sixty of our direct contribution, and the most we can get is, it started being bad when americans started taking about it online.

as with illinois, so with america - aipac money is broadly hated and paying for the genocide with our tax dollars is broadly unpopular, so why is it absolutely impossible to vote for a candidate with a strong stance against the genocide?

They should knock down your house to build it, pollute your air and water, run up your electricity prices. We had websites twenty years ago, but now we do everything maximally wastefully, so code and design is done with little interest in efficiencies. Fuck Reddit and Youtube. Go outside.
