Yeah, that sounds like them! I haven't seen them up here all year, but people in Rogers Park have.

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

oh no...

Bleak, damp March weather. Stan Getz and The Oscar Peterson Trio. Fizzy rosé. Apple & cheddar meatloaves, baked sweet potato, salad w/ oranges, almonds, and a honey ginger vinaigrette. Debate about the best route to the cemetery for an upcoming funeral.

Oh, he will!

1991, surely!

This is the most frightening thing I've ever watched.

Is it like radio, or is it like a podcast?

Fucking freaks.

You can just do that online - don't need a radio.

I should start watching PBS News hour again. I just hate watching news. I want to read it.

Where are people getting their world news these days? Not breaking news, not commentary. Just the "here is a summary of the facts as we know them along with some context and what we expect to happen next."

Happy Birthday! 🥂

I've been watching Babylon Berlin, and I get how WWI created the conditions in which the Nazis rose to power. But I never understood the conditions which led to WWI. Which seem about as inane as the current situation. Global order crumbling, questionable alliances, jockeying for power, madness.

Completely unrelatedly, I have just been reading up on how WWI started because I knew the Franz Ferdinand thing but not why Germany began invading other countries.

Well there has been a lot of discourse making the same sensible points you are making...

It genuinely sucks to not be able to vote for the candidate you prefer the most.

It also genuinely sucks to live under the current regime with a mediocre opposition party.

These are safe Dem seats. We shouldn't waste them. We can always primary Stratton & Biss in the future.

Robin, Bushra, and Mike would all rock in Congress.

But it appears that if we do not elect Stratton and Biss, we will have our own IL version of Schumer and Jeffries. And NOT having elected Schumer and Jeffries is like the one thing I can still troll NYers about. Don't take that from me. Please.

It hasn't been missed. It has been ignored in bad faith or twisted into accusations of being "establishment" or problematic precisely because of these pre-existing relationships.

Pulaski Day was a state-wide holiday when I was little. Is it not anymore?

The Ex-Files—a survey of some of the Ex-titled books (Ex-Husband, -Mistress, -Racketeer, -Judge, -"It," -etc.) inspired by (or leeching off) the success of Ursula Parrott's 1929 novel, Ex-Wife.

I read the first sentence of this post and thought, "What? They just did it!"
