    " '#HeatDome' is forecast to bring dangerously high temperatures to much of the eastern half of the U.S. next week.

    "The extreme heat could last through July 4 celebrations.

    "Driving the news: 'Widespread temperatures into the 90s to low 100s, combined with high humidity, will result in heat indices approaching or exceeding 105-110 in many places,' NOAA forecasters write.

    " 'Overnight lows will also be quite warm, with some record high minimums possible, bringing little to no relief from the heat in the nighttime hours.'

    "Such conditions affect 'anyone without cooling/hydration as well as health systems, industries, and infrastructure.'

    "Meanwhile: The #HeatWave baking Europe this week wouldn't be possible without #ClimateChange, a World Weather Attribution rapid study found."

  3. The Broadview Six are protestors who were assaulted by ICE in Chicago, arrested and charged. It turns out that Federal Prosecutors contacted the Grand Jury members outside of the courtroom, so the judge threw out the case! The Sun-Times and WBEZ:

    #ChicagoIL U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros may have had personal contact with grand jurors in the prosecution against the group of Operation Midway Blitz protesters known as the “Broadview Six,” a defense attorney told a judge today.

    “U.S. District Judge April Perry summoned lawyers into her chambers to discuss the question out of earshot from the public, my colleague Jon Seidel reports for the Chicago Sun-Times. Assistant U.S. Attorney Diane MacArthur said it should be discussed privately because it involved grand jury proceedings.

    “The case fell apart, days before trial, after Perry discovered improprieties during grand jury proceedings. The alleged misconduct came to light only after a lengthy push by defense attorneys to get Perry to review unredacted transcripts of what occurred.

    “It included a prosecutor improperly putting her personal credibility on the line to support criminal charges, a prosecutor having substantive contact with grand jurors outside the grand jury room and a prosecutor excusing grand #jurors who disagreed with the case”. [Chicago Sun-Times]

  4. More #DataCenters coming to #Illinois as residents complain about #noise, #electric bills: What to know

    Story by Jason Knowles, Maggie Green, February 17, 2026

    "Data centers are moving in. They power everything from #StreamingServices to #ArtificialIntelligence, but critics say they are noisy and can jack up your #ElectricBills.

    Now, the I-Team and ABC News are finding that more than 3,000 data centers are already operating nationwide, with at least 1,000 more planned. Some are in the #ChicagoIL area."

  5. B.B. King, Live at the Regal, 1965 on ABC Paramount

    Recorded live at the Regal Theater in Chicago in 1964, and released by ABC Paramount (in the US) in 1965. Fantastic live blues album and a must have.

    It was a cold, raw day in traditionally windy Chicago on November 21, 1964, but hundreds of people found a quick way to warm up! There were the lucky ones who crowded into the Regal Theatre where an old favorite—B.B. King—generated his own brand of heat via his guitar, his band, and his great blues songs.

    My copy—via uDiscover online—is a 2015 reissue on Geffen labels, pressed at United Record Pressing. I’d love to have an original pressing but this sounds pretty good.
