DHS' official version of events had already been previously called into question by somebody at the scene. Joshua Orta, Martinez's best friend and a passenger in the vehicle during the shooting, said in a draft declaration that his friend "did not hit anyone" and that he was trying to comply with commands from officers. Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign that declaration.

"Orta died in a separate car crash last month, before he could sign that declaration."

His last words to the ICE agents: "I'm sorry, sir."

Clearly someone who posed a threat and was trying to run them over.

Reports of this natural born U.S. citizen being detained at Broadview and now incommunicado.

On the flip side my intake of Palestinian food is going to be lower this year.

By the time you’re reasonably competent at any stage of babyhood, the baby immediately changes to a new stage.

I see why people have a second kid. Just to actually get to use all of the skills they acquired.

I’m watching Paralympic curling and they don’t do the sweeping part, but they still shout “Curl! Curl!” at the stone.

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26

NO - 41%
YES - 38%
UNSURE - 21%

Those IJ ferries are really efficient.

No actually that was a huge deal when U-Boats first hit the scene in WWI, was that they could not render aid.

That's what happened with e.g. Japan in WWII, right?

Ok but the other direction?

It's not *that* unusual.

It's 21 hours flight time through the middle east and 25 hours through the U.S.

If I buy a ticket on amtrak.com for train from Carbondale to Chicago and then Van Galder bus from Chicago to Madison, and the train is late, will Amtrak make sure my bus ticket is honored on the next bus?

(And vice versa if the bus is late, will they honor my ticket on next train?)

Oh the other piece is interest rates.

The Rent Zestimate is based on current interest rates which are much higher than 5 years ago. Which is not related to the shortage of apartments.

Oh, that's good.

The two options were there is dense fog or someone had painted all of my windows white.

So, glad to hear it's fog.

Are the connections protected?

Well the mortgage part of that isn't subject to inflation, which has been 20% over that time.

I agree it's out of whack but maybe not as out of whack as it looks at first glance.

Don't take my word for it, take a Chicago bike lawyer's word.

You'd expect rent to be AT LEAST 20% more than mortgage+hoa+taxes+insurance, to cover things like repairs and vacancy time.

But assuming your rent is less than $5k then there's more than that going on.

"Improve your restaurant with AI!"

No, thanks.

This is The Onion shit.

Yeah, I'm not sure.

I think North American road engineers are hesitant to do do this "briefly drop the curb" arrangement. They'd rather just unprotected the whole bike lane, or find room for a full island.

Maybe!

In other locations they seem fine just interrupting the curb.

Reminds me of this

The City of Chicago's stance here and in court is cyclists aren't intended users of low speed residential streets with city-installed Divvy stations on them.

Zero Vision.

Cycling advocates: The mayor endorsed us. Now he advocates against us. In 2023, Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed our bike grid plan. Now, he advocates against us and our right to safe infrastructure.

New from us! Mayor Brandon Johnson endorsed us in 2023, now he is against our safety. The City of Chicago opposes HB2454, a bill that would make bicyclists intended users of all roads only on a disconnected network of streets rather than all streets.

Hey, question — will the war crimes still be good when other people war crime us in retaliation?
