From the Chicago Sun-Times: "Federal prosecutors say the remaining members of the 'Broadview Six' should be barred from making arguments about free speech rights when they go to trial next month — though the feds also plan to use protest chants caught on video as evidence against the group."

First time I missed posting within 24 hours, but it’s still a daily! Been extremely busy and crying many happy tears. Also in another time zone, so… 😬 Anyway! I did it. 🥹

Becoming a New Englander was about drinking iced coffee year round, but becoming a Midwesterner has been about the gradual lowering of my "I don't need to put on a coat just for THAT" threshold.

Losing my mind watching these two Europeans dressed up in "American core" on the Museum Campus today. One is in a crisp white ballcap, reflective wraparound sunglasses, designer sweatpants, and an American flag scarf.

I know I'm old for saying this, but: did you know streaming TV now has... channels with scheduled programming? We reinvented cable? I'm not even hating on it -- now I get to rewatch Twin Peaks the Return in the same way I watched The Sopranos: in completely random episode order

One of the downstream problems of climate change is that none of my peers want to have kids -- which means I don't get to be anyone's eccentric city-dwelling aunt [not blood relative, unclear why we call her aunt?] who has lots of art hobbies and nobody is clear on what she does for work
