I have lived and worked in and around Chicago for 27 years and I have been assaulted less often than Sen Paul has been in his own back yard.

Vinklu Turns Forgotten Plot in Bucharest Into Tiny Coffee Shop The Chapel in Bucharest by Vinklu is a glass-clad triangular structure that transforms a narrow urban plot into a tiny, charming coffee shop.

Love this. What a cool use of a teeny tiny sliver of a lot.

Here’s a Shocking Idea: Democrats Don’t All Have to Sound Alike Four candidates in wildly different races show the value of being yourself.

Will Democrats ever stop arguing over what they should say, how they should say it, and where they should say it? They really should, because the answers are obvious: It all dependsβ€”on who you are, where you live, and what you believe. New from me @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/shocking-i...

my father-in-law is a β€œI know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about β€œwinning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas

The United States government is no longer able to protect us from real hazards, such as flash floods, because it’s shifting funds to fake hazards, such as a non-existent immigrant crime wave. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It β€˜s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Iran Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran β€” and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made β€œRick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Wayne County community rally amid ICE raid at restaurant Newswatch 16's Emily Kress spoke with people in the Honesdale community who are shaken after watching three restaurant employees get detained.

""It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy," said Simon..."

Why is the Daddy Party allowed to rant & rave & do impulsive, stupid shit & never, ever be held to account, while the Mommy Party is endlessly scolded & lectured & second-guessed by everyone, even when it is earnestly trying to do the right thing?

Gosh. What a puzzler.

We need to keep track of all those who bent the knee and be sure to never do business with them, elect them, support them, follow them, etc, going forward.

And those who commit a crime for him need to do the time for him.

I found the exact crosswalk this morning and tried it but the sound had been turned off. It didn’t even say β€œwait”. Wondering if PA turned off sound completely, to avoid offending ol’ Elon? Nevermind that visually impaired ppl no longer have any sort of audible cue for safely crossing the street πŸ™„
