I can’t shake the feeling it’s a protest-themed LARP.

I have heard some descriptions comparing it to woodstock or excuse for an extended party. Of course that was from old people.

I think it’s fair to ask anyone engaged in an extended protest what conditions are required for them to pack-up and go home.
If these protesters were forced to answer honestly, what would be the rate of “justice for Palestine” versus “the semester ending”?

For many schools the semester is over, they've been kicked off (and suspended) but they came back. Soo...

I applaud them for sticking to their guns.

A little more locally active today. Photo not by me. You can see the “ar W” of the car wash I go to.
“What do we want?”
“MORE BIKE RACKS!”

Been only 10 to 20¢ off in the suburbs, but it’s returned to normal.
City Mobil by the Costco:
Not control suburban Speedway, but nearby:
I did not check the price of Speedy Freeze

I have since discovered DePaul requested the CPD clear the protest encampment, and this is a likely photo of that in progress.

Is the Chicago PD short on cop cars? That's a whole lot of bikes - is someone saving money? Especially on rainy days?
"You won't melt. Get out there on your bike anyway. Peddle harder to keep up with the getaway cars. Good cops are very athletic."

Those are mobile barricades and de facto riot shields. It also lets them innocuously wear helmets.

My parents are very concerned with the bad bad college campus protests, which makes me think [the protestors are] probably correct? I've tried to stay out of the latest conflict but it doesn't seem as cut and dry as Russia vs. Ukraine.

I prefer Google’s remark on my answer to my actual answer.

Nothing Israel/Palestine is ever cut-and-dried, but this latest chapter is especially fraught.

I won't pick a side in this one. The people on both sides lose, and it's always been the Palestinians who lose disproportionately. But this is only due to the lesser means of murder under control of their leaders.

Our work recognition system has an AI DEI analysis mode that can check your comments for potential racial bias.
Back on topic, I somehow ended up with a $900 Costco gift card (returned a mattress and they wouldn't give me cash) so I'll probably be getting gas there now. Filled up with 87 octane for $2.85 when E85 is currently going for $2.49-2.99. Interested to see what my mpgs do.

I'm so glad they removed the watermelon reference. That was just too toooo much. How dare they.
