I was gonna say phrasing, cheers!

There’s always a local angle, and a cheeky @chicago.suntimes.com headline to go with it.

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Kristi Noem.

Get after it!

Yup, was in Indiana for the siren text (theirs is at 11 am) yesterday, it’s so quiet here that it was super creepy.

This is why I take an edible just as I’m stepping into the airport.

Happy birthday Chicago, indeed!

Carl Sandburg’s iconic 1914 poem “Chicago” recently gained fresh relevance when a judge read it aloud in a court ruling addressing DHS use of force.

That inspired our arts desk to ask some well-known Chicagoans to recite it, with help from Bill Kurtis, Sandra Cisneros, Colston Loveland and others.

I’ll take that plus Sam for delivery, please and thanks

It would be ***extremely prudent*** to increase your OT threat posture as an organisation if you are in global or regional logistics, oil and gas, communication, agriculture, etc. Or critical infrastructure in any potentially involved nations.

Nothing like a four minute long tornado siren test to zap your rapidly fraying nerves.

Amazing

I do walk into a room rage first.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are rushing towards each other, with a narrative text above each, with an arrow pointing at each fox respectively. Narration above Green: Heat-seeking behaviour Narration above Blue: Attention-guided missile The foxes reach each other, swirling together like liquid or koi fish. Narration: Impact! Curling up together, coiled around each other in a tight cuddle, the foxes rest, calm and content. Narration: Equilibrium

Since it seems like we're on newspaper opinion section discourse again: They are a vestigial limb of a time that's long over. Opinion is *everywhere* now, the water we all swim in. And, frankly, we've become so media illiterate now that opinion's existence does lasting harm to the reporting work.

Go back to bed, it's all still shit.

You are fucking amazing and anyone that doesn’t recognize that isn’t worthy 💕

Remember when we all used to talk about how invasive the “Great Firewall of China” was?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Now we buy cameras for our front doors so they can ID anyone on our street and report their location in real time. Photo IDs to use the internet. Etc etc. is this the future we want?

Wow, sick burn

It’s very, very good but also really intense

Never gets old, man

Once more for the people in the back, TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS.

Please donate if you’re able (or share), our trans family are not safe in so many parts of this country.

I know it’s SO WRONG but once it was in my brain, it just pops back up!

Every time a man is over-explaining something (pretty sure this type of dood mostly like to hear themself talk), I hear Gigantic by the Pixies in my head but swap “gigantic” for pedantic.

your email found me lacking a certain, how do you say, joie de vivre

I was obsessed with this when it came out

Fuck this and everyone who helped get things to this point. Trans rights are human rights—full stop.
