With all due respect, Patton, you are patently false when you say you are visiting "the University of Indiana." We welcome you to "Indiana University." Thanks for coming and visiting the IU Cinema.

House GOP reveals Illinois secession, school deregulation priorities β€’ Indiana Capital Chronicle The caucus is prioritizing outreach to unhappy Illinois counties, alongside the budget, schools, health care, energy, justice and housing.

I didn't realize that there were counties in Illinois that wanted to secede from the Land of Lincoln and that Indiana wanted them. I doubt it will ever happen -- they'd have to become Colts fans. indianacapitalchronicle.com/2025/01/14/h...

Hollywood will green light a reboot of "Hoosiers," based on the story of this season's Indiana University football team. Think of the scene where Coach Cignetti asks to measure the height of the goal posts and say, "I think you'll find the exact same measurements as our field at Memorial Stadium."

Wired reports that "I'm Going to Bluesky" is the new "I’m Moving to Canada." As much as I enjoy poutine, Montreal’s smoked meat and maple syrup, I'm not moving north of the border. I hope to find more adult conversations with other professionals.
