Bears Stadium Situation
Part 6: Economics
Both Arlington & Chicago plans need major public funding, leaving the final call to Gov Pritzker. He’s open, if taxpayers benefit. The strongest case for either site is economic impact, the numbers clearly favor a new domed stadium in CHI

Soldier Field to Park
Converting Soldier Field to park space would be an economic disaster. The difference between a new domed stadium and a park is massive. It’s up to $1B in lost local economic activity per year, with no major events, tourism or tax revenue to offset the impact

Retrofit Soldier for Sox
Probable cost: $600M (range: $300M–$1B)
A 30,000-seat ballpark could bring in $150M–$250M/year, as a seasonal venue, which has limited economic impact. It’s a costly fix that doesn’t solve broader area challenges or unlock long-term economic potential.

A few months ago, I dug into Cea Weaver's Twitter history because she was Mamdani's housing advisor.
I had a hunch she might get a position on his team.
Well, she did, and she deleted her X account, accordingly.
However, I took some screenshots. Let's dig in.

For context, this woman was just selected by Mayor Mamdani to be the Director of the newly revitalized Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants.
According to NYC.gov - "The revitalized Office to Protect Tenants will serve as a central coordinating body to defend tenants’ rights, stand up to landlords, and ensure city agencies act swiftly on behalf of renters facing unsafe or illegal conditions."

What is the dominant spectrum of light in the forest understory?
This measurement by Robert Fosbury, PhD says it all
- enriched in long wavelength NIR light
- shielding shorter wavelength UV
Mitochondrial ETC function is maximised in this NIR light saturated environment

Despite all that is being said on longevity and 'not dying'
To few are making mention of the daytime conditions most conducive to longevity
Bathing yourself in NIR daily optimises mitochondrial function & therefore slows rate of decline
Green spaces = outside in nature = evolutionary niche / 'metabolic envelope'

@ricwe123 Germany could have decarbonized more quickly by maintaining its nuclear power plants, but only to a limited extent, as they produced only 31% of Germany's electricity at their peak (in 1999), which itself accounted for less than 25% of total energy consumption.

Trick 1: The "eyebrow flash"
Raise your eyebrows for a split second when you first see someone.
It's a universal sign of recognition and warmth across all cultures.
Their brain registers: "This person is happy to see me."
It bypasses conscious thought entirely.

The Gurus Word is the Wisdom of Vedas. The Guru is Shiva, Vishnu & Brahma , Guru is Parvati & Laksmi

☑️The God Killed SahastraBahu, Madhu Ketabh.
He seized Hiranyakashipu and Tore him with his Nails
The Demons Jaraa Sandh & Kal Yavan were Destroyed Rakt Beej and KalNemi were annihilated

Following a surge in CI/CD attacks, we decided to scan for public CodeBuild projects, and noticed a strange auth setting in core AWS repos.
When verifying if a @GitHub account could trigger a build, it didn’t check for specific account IDs - it matched against a regex filter 🤔
When verifying if a @GitHub account could trigger a build, it didn’t check for specific account IDs - it matched against a regex filter 🤔
But the regex had a major flaw: it was unanchored ⚓️ Any ID containing a maintainer ID would pass the filter and trigger a build!
We found that every ~5 days an eclipse occurs: a new account gets an ID overlapping with a maintainer ID. Raising the question: can we capture it? 🎯

R.I.P. basic prompting.
MIT just dropped a technique that makes ChatGPT reason like a team of experts instead of one overconfident intern.
It’s called “Recursive Meta-Cognition” and it outperforms standard prompts by 110%.

The problem with how you prompt AI:
You ask one question. AI gives one answer. If it’s wrong, you never know.
It’s like asking a random person on the street for medical advice and just… trusting them.
No second opinion. No fact-checking. No confidence level.

What if AI could check its own work from multiple angles before giving you an answer?
Not just “think step by step.”

The results were insane.

Cuando Irene Montero trabajba para la República Islámica de Irán, era obligada a ir con ropa ancha, sin escote y con los hombros cubiertos, y así se lo imponían a todas las que acudían a su programa en Madrid, hasta que...👇🏼
Un día invitaron a Adilia de las Mercedes para hablar (como no) de la ulteaderecha.
Ella aceptó, y fue entonces cuando descubrió el machismo que había en ese programa. Un machismo que nunca denunció Irene Montero. Lo acataba como buena mujer sumisa a los hombres.

Scientists Accidentally Discover Laser-Free LASIK Alternative
A lab mistake revealed that a tiny electric current can soften the cornea like clay—then lock it into perfect focus.
In early tests, vision was reshaped in minutes.
And doctors were stunned: it showed signs of repairing eye damage once thought irreversible.

Michael Hill at Occidental College accidentally used too little current in his experiment—and stumbled upon a discovery that might replace LASIK with a gentler treatment that reshapes corneas without ever cutting the eye.
The discovery may offer hope for the millions of people living with poor vision who want an alternative to glasses and contact lenses but are wary of LASIK’s risks.
While laser eye surgery is generally successful, it involves cutting into the eye and can cause complications including dry eyes, vision problems, and in rare cases, severe side effects.

The suitcases full of cash moving through Minneapolis St. Paul Airport fit the profile of a Hawala money broker settling balances in cash. What is Hawala? 🧵👇
Hawala is a network of money brokers that function like an unregulated Western Union of the Middle East and North Africa. Brokers keep large amounts of cash and communicate outside of the regulated banking system. When you wish to send money to someone in, say, Somalia, where there is little to no presence of banking institutions, a Hawaladar broker may be your only option.
Say a Hawaladar in Minneapolis has a client who requests to send $1,000 USD to Puntland, Somalia. The Hawaladar accept the cash and takes a cut (say, 3%) and contacts a Hawaladar in Puntland. They agree on an authorization method (a challenge-response phrase , authentication token, or ID pair) and provide that method to the sender. The sender provides the authorization method to the recipient, and the recipient picks up their cash from the Hawaladar in Puntland, less the service fee that both Hawaladars collect.
SHOCKING: Wuhan-style bat lab is being built in Colorado
“The exact same people who were behind the gain-of-function disaster in Wuhan … are setting up a bat lab here on US soil with funding from Dr. Fauci.”
White Coat Waste first exposed this “disaster right out of Dr. Fauci’s cookbook” in 2023.
In 2024, Jay Bhattacharya called the project a “mistake” and said it had “no upside.”
Then in 2025, as NIH Director, Bhattacharya handed out $2.1M more in NIH funds to complete the lab.
Now, White Coat Waste’s Justin Goodman is sounding the alarm:
Experimenters plan to “import bats from Asia and do coronavirus, Ebola, Nipah, and other experiments on those bats, breed them here, and ship them around the country.”
“That’s where we got the name Wuhan West.”
Sen. Joni Ernst and Rep. Paul Gosar just sent an urgent letter to Bhattacharya, demanding that he shut this project down “IMMEDIATELY.”
