There is no bottom.

Are there? I’ll go look.

Architect Frank Gehry who designed Millennium Park's Pritzker Pavilion and foot bridge dies at 96 The visionary West Coast architect had deeply rooted Chicago connections and friendships.

When reading Lee Bey's excellent obit of Frank Gehry in today's Sun-Times, how many readers wonder WHY it's so good? The answer being because Lee knows this stuff backward and forward, because SOM's Adrian Smith returned his call. Institutional memory at work.

That FIFA peace prize sham is the most humiliating self-own imaginable. Something the Onion would cook up. It's as if my pals at Eli's concocted the Cheesecake Pulitzer Prize, and I accepted it, wearing a cheap paper crown. The fucker grabbed the medal and put it on himself. He just couldn't wait.

I’d have to. 😊

As much as I'd like to hate Trump, I can't help feeling sorry for him. He's such a pathetic man, pity wins out over contempt. Being president, being rich, famous, whatever, does nothing for him. An open festering sore, unquenchable ego thirst. Is there anyone who would want to be him for a minute?

Can't sleep? Don't count sheep — use this guided meditation for healthful snoozing Because some 50 million Americans have trouble falling or staying asleep, the internet is jammed with "guided meditations," essentially canned lullabies for adults.

Times being what they are, occasions for fun do not often present themselves. But this was fun.

Last year, Republicans said Joe Biden was sleepy and inept, totally disengaged as president.
Now, 11 months after Biden left office, Republicans depict him as a hugely influential figure, casting such a shadow over current events that he's to blame for every bad thing that happens.

Northbrook, Illinois.

I believe so, if you have a legitimate project you're working on.

Ouch. Time to walk the dog.

Exceptional work.

Glad to see the Newberry Library joining the Bluesky party. If you haven't visited, consider doing so —their exhibits are always worthwhile and they have a world class gift shop.

Maybe if we put on a better show they wouldn't hate us so much. The blog of Neil Steinberg
