    Chicago seems to do power grids better than most American cities, including Houston... (8 days after Beryl and still 120k in the dark).

    Yikes. I hope everyone’s okay. I had a tree branch break off a random tree and almost explode my power lines 😬😬😬
  • Meanwhile Gov. JB Prickster on Tuesday plans to announce a major partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense’s research and development agency to further expand quantum research in Illinois. Just great... more taxpayer spending because Prickster can't balance a budget
