I have no problem writing (typing) β€œalder” but still stumble over the word when speaking. If anyone has a better option than β€œalderperson” I’m listening (and often find myself saying β€œalderman” or β€œalderwoman” β€” although of course that does not work in the case of an official who’s nonbinary).

Kim Kardashian Insists the 1969 Moon Landing Was Fake: β€˜It Didn't Happen' Kim Kardashian revealed that she believes the conspiracy theory that the 1969 moon landing did not actually happen, and she tried to convince her 'All's Fair' costar Sarah Paulson to believe it, too, ...

Also she thinks the moon landing was fake and believes TikTok is valid source material. Does the ABA need these kinds of members?

Will Trump Tower's Riverfront Retail Space Ever Get A Tenant? The infamous tower's massive commercial space has sat vacant for 16 years, becoming the longest-running retail vacancy Downtown. A new effort to lease the space is underway, but many remain skeptical.

The ground-level retail space has been vacant (or largely vacant) since it opened.

Meh. I’d heard such great things but felt sort of let down. Probably most appreciated by Superman/superhero and comics fans.

Of course nothing matches the ear worm for the GLP-1 that begins with an O. Literally caught my kids singing that jingle (funny but also disturbing).

Just learning about biologics too. It is a taxing process to navigate, and a taxing thing to process when you are told you need them. Sounds like have been coping with more than one loss; thank you for this moving account.

47th Ward also has very engaged residents & often has the highest voter turnout (or one of the highest) in the city. Also some folks with political connections.

I once mentioned the Jon Lovitz SNL character whose catchphrase was β€œget to know me!” while conducting a workshop and got blank stares from most of the audience. This was about 20 years ago, and these were not teenagers; I felt old and lame.

Happened upon a rerun of News Radio and my son was like, β€œIs that JOE ROGAN???” Had to explain to him that yes, Joe once played a supporting role in a sitcom. Of course Phil Hartman & Dave Foley were the standouts, which had to be said.
