During a military-style raid on a building in Chicagoโ€™s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. โ€จโ€จIt wasnโ€™t the feds โ€”ย  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I have had a miserable week. I've cried every single day. Work sucked. I ruined my fav hat. Setback with my broken arm & I'm just in pain. I canceled plans with friends & separately w/ family & my fantasy football team is going to lose

At least I get to try again next week, I'm grateful for that

Australia approves first vaccine to save koalas from chlamydia A vaccine to protect Australia's koalas against chlamydia has been approved for the first time, a development that scientists believe could stop the spread of the deadly disease that has ravaged populations of the beloved endangered animal.

Would you like some good news? A new vaccine has just been approved for protecting koalas from chlamydia, which is one of their leading causes of death.

Pay them what you owe them!

The Connecticut labor movement was proud to stand with members of the WNBPA at the Connecticut Sun game as they fight for a fair contract.

Respect the players by paying them their fair share.

(And the Connecticut Sun won 87-84!)

DS9 scene. Rom is a Ferengi hero who has a large bald head and giant ears and lobes that sort of connect to make a unibrow and a ribbed pine cone looking nose. He's wearing a jacket that looks like those lick and stick backsplash tiles you can get at Lowe's. He's pictured here standing in a corridor, talking to someone and holding/reading a PADD. Closed caption reads, "Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains."

A two-panel comic titled โ€œADHD Paralysis.โ€ 

The top panel, labeled โ€œLooks Like,โ€ shows a simple white character lying sideways on a blue couch, staring at their phone with a neutral expression. The room is messy, with clothes, books, mugs, and a backpack scattered around. A thought bubble says, โ€œWhatever, I donโ€™t care if itโ€™s clean.โ€

The bottom panel, labeled โ€œFeels Like,โ€ shows the same image, but the background is overlaid with a large block of cluttered, anxious inner monologue text about wanting to clean but feeling overwhelmed, guilty, and stuck. The text reflects racing thoughts, procrastination, and self-criticism.

It took me a long time to realize that not everyone has to argue/negotiate/shame their brain into doing routine household tasks.

The newspapers are not making a big deal of this today. This is a big deal. Someone shot into a Federal building repeatedly, fueled by misinformation and politics. It should be front page news across the country.

Iโ€™ve been teaching the histories of eugenics for over a decade and I honestly never thought I would be able to use an American Eagle ad in a lecture to demonstrate how dangerously normalized eugenics has become in 2025. A lot of it is the global ascendancy of far right fascism but also the pandemic.
