Same at the Broadview facility outside of Chicago.

No thanks. I'm experimenting with being happy to ditch FB (again.)

$35. That's what it cost me to buy an antenna about a year back. Flat piece of plastic, point it out the nearest window, voila! I can watch football for free.

(I amortized the initial cost via the 24-hour 21 Jump Street channel. 16 y/o me is ecstatic that this exists!)

"With gratitude" for what, exactly?

Question: Gabbard gave it to two members of the Gang of Eight heavily redacted because "executive privilege."

Could one of Trump's lackeys... say, Stephen Miller... falsely claim to have had a conversation with the president about it in advance and then use "EP" to hide the results?

This is why I lose respect for NPR on the daily.

Welp, Facebook suspended my account for reasons they say they'll never tell me. I got three simultaneous messages about restricting advertising by my account, so... I assume it's a glitch, since I don't advertise. Or it's a ploy to get me to upload my face, my firstborn's soul...

"Fuck you; make me," is already my slogan! And no, I will not simply accept that AI must be in every facet of life.

Bovino leads that charge. Everything gets worse when he comes to town.

Like when Elon brings his son to events?

I LOVE(D) TEEN VOGUE. More corporate obeyance in advance.

Evidence of absence. No surprise.

How I look at people that don't vote today

Hello from Time-change-with-loud-birds land! Only four months of standard time here in the (far-ish) north US.

STANDARD time is what you want. Yes, it would be nice to have daylight after work. Just like it would be nice to only eat pasta alfredo and chocolate for every meal.

Funny that. Bad actors are taking advantage of bad actors to kidnap and assault random people.

Even if these braintrusts decided they don't need air traffic controllers to keep the airplanes flying, I don't think pilots or passengers are going to gamble.

Guess it comes down to what's the bright line for too many of the Republicans in Congress? People eating and having health care aren't it.

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social:

ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday.

Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events.

Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

I thought it was illegal to conduct immigration raids as traffic stops in Illinois?

"Just following orders."

Indeed.

Push back on the "twenty pound loss" before you can have surgery. That's ridiculous and not based in real medical science, just fat-phobia from poorly trained doctors.

This has been my experience.

It's true. Those Costco lines are insane now.

I only go to the Baby Target for one prescription, and then walk out.

As is NPR a lot of the time.

Exactly. The moment you cross him, it's you, and/or your loved ones, on a plane to El Salvador. Pam Bondi won't even bother to comment publicly. They'll deny it happened.

You know why Republican politicians stay silent while Trump tells an outrageous lie about Ukraine starting the war with Russia? Because Republican politicians – at every level of government – are traitors to democracy.

This. Right in the video. Then the laughter.

Any snippet from today's press conference - and the fact the AP was barred from the press pool despite a court order - confirms that Trump and this administration have assumed full Authoritarian Dictator mode.

Your move, Congressional Republicans.

That's a great companion to "enshittification"! Congratulations! (And, indeed, enough with the assumptions that there's *any* subtext or larger plan.)

FINALLY, indeed! Let's hope all the other universities stand up as well. (Looking at you, Northwestern-without-a-Bluesky-account.)

Welcome back!
