I find this very alarming. AI is being used in explicitly prohibited ways. No doubt this will soon be the norm. The consequences of this will be dramatic. Over the holidays, the publishers and the whole of academic community are doing nothing else but working on a solution to this, right? RIGHT?!
Chicago: ICE heavily active in West Ridge and Edgewater. Landscapers heavily targeted. Put on your whistles and patrol if you can.
Multiple abductions and ongoing sightings across Rogers Park/West Ridge reported just now.
The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line.

A caravan of Border Patrol and ICE agents, including a van with abducted individuals, drove out of the Target on Peterson Ave across from Rosehill Cemetery around 11:30 this morning, Nov 3. They came from the service vehicle loading dock, where it seemed Target allowed them to remain for some time

Immortality is a child's answer to death anxiety, not a real thing with which humanity will ever have to contend. No king's alchemist ever granted him eternal life, and it isn't going to start happening now just because of Computer.
Good morning, Ye Mighty
I hope these works find you well. If you could look upon them by EOD today and get back to me, that would be great. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Best,

they emailed a guy called Bill DeBlasio. He gave his opinion. It wasn't the mayor
Thought the Times had been hoaxed. Turns out to be so much better than that
TLDR they spoke anonymously for the same reason ICE agents wear masks.
Since we’ve outstripped our costs to date, I’m happy to help anyone who’s starting up a whistle event in Chicago with supplies and any comms or logistics support they need.
It’ll be your party, but I’ll help you make it happen!

A tenant union representing 150 residents across four buildings in Rogers Park has approved a rent strike to begin Saturday after a new owner announced a spike of several hundred dollars in monthly fees.
if you turn away every time you feel discomfort, your world will contract and contract and contract until you are incapable of connecting to others or imagining other ways of existing in the world
"Or perhaps they’re not taking something evil and declaring it good. Perhaps they don’t think there’s a difference between good and bad things."
But for mainstream liberals, there *is* a difference and it's purely aesthetic. Which is why cozy wholesomeness appeals so much to them
"They’ve simply taken the dystopian and declared it wholesome as-is."
This is true of more "cozy" media than not, btw
Really good piece
Video from today's first gas attack.
Saturday morning in Chicago.
ice and border patrol and continuing their terror campaign across chicagoland this morning.
masked agents are active and making abductions in waukegan, des planes, and along the northwest side of the city.
abductions from windy city produce and yet more tear gas near schurz high school.
IDK what that means going fwd but it is a Very Big Deal that people with a lot of wealth and political power suddenly feel a personal stake in this issue
It's VERY important that it translates into *solidarity* rather than the usual crime/policing "keep this unpleasantness contained to Over There"/
LOCAL COMPANIES BETRAY CHICAGOLAND. Chicago-area companies have made millions in lucrative contracts supporting Operation Midway Blitz’s immigration enforcement actions in the area.
Threads post from julieceye At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.
For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.
I am delighted and honoured to say that my second novel RAKESFALL has won the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction! vajra.me/2025/10/21/r...
The Tribune reports Elgin cop Jason Lentz posted specific addresses on Facebook for ICE to check out.
He was fired years ago after he posted that Ferguson PO Darren Wilson “Did society a favor” when he shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown. Later an arbitrator put Lentz back on the job.
Venturing a bit further afield this week: musing on speculative-adjacent ideas of irrealism, and mostly just enthusing about Barthelme's 60 STORIES with @timothymoore.bsky.social. A very fun conversation about a remarkable stylist, check it out: ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/10/20/a...

Between Friday 10/17 and Saturday 10/18—just this weekend's demonstrations—Illinois State Police and Broadview PD arrested 30 people outside the ICE facility.
