I think a guy who doesn’t see women’s humanity doesn’t see crimes against women as actually mattering

Good news in Illinois, another protection for trans people who take testosterone.

My jaw dropped

Vile: Mike Johnson just said GOP might try to undo birthright citizenship with legislation, which is unconstitutional. I've noticed a pattern: He and Vance are using sleazy new language to sell this as a trivial reform. The threat is very much alive. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2127...

the now-decades-long saga of tubman on the $20 bill is a great, if somewhat unimportant and symbolic, example of the democrats' lack of ability to Just Do Stuff

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

They’re calling it the curse of the fifa peace prize

Pausa de Humiliacion

Id take it further, I would argue that pain is the goal here. The more I think about it, the more I see the need to jail and institutionalize as a manifestation of the need to punish difference. The impulse to institutionalize disabled people overlaps and is born of the same anxiety/disgust/anger.

The Chicago Tribune editorial board is trash, and they owe Kat Abughazaleh an apology.

Watching the water rise was just... ribbiting.

I think one accomplishment we can be absolutely jingoistic about is the Americans with Disabilities Act. Traveling abroad immediately teaches you what a massive impact this legislation has had

new romantasy dedicated bookshop is opening in Oxford today and 10/10, no notes

It's that time of year again!

I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

Gooool for TELEMUNDO who not only refuse to run ads during the mandatory hydration breaks, but also straight up just announced that hydration breaks are necessary because of dangerous heat caused by fossil fuel-driven climate change. Bravo Telemundo. #worldcup #futbol

I don’t think I’ve ever been as proud of a team as I am of this Cabo Verde team. What a remarkable performance. One of the best games I’ve ever watched. I’ll never forget it.

Crushing on Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinho. He’s 40 and blocking Messi’s shots.

Come on, Cabo Verde!!

Great address from Mayor Mamdani. Must-see for 4th of July weekend.

Check out my photo of the young bald eagles on this Chicago Tribune story: Meet Migizi and Marian: Chicago’s first bald eaglets born in a century named (gift link) www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/02/c...

I’ve been loving spotting black crowned night herons in the city as they’ve been busy raising their fledglings in the trees above Lincoln Park Zoo. Had a go at drawing one! 🖤 🪶

That’s Chicago’s Rainbow Cone specialty in the photo. Tasty!

In a just world, Cynthia Rothrock would be 10x as famous as Steven Segal and Chuck Norris combined.

These alerts go out locally because there’s a real risk that the power grid may collapse. The 78 figure applies to healthy adults. If you’re sick (and heat intolerance counts), disabled, or caring for small kids, of course you don’t need to do this. 1/

We went to Donald Trump’s Great American State Fair for the U.S.’s 250th anniversary. But the 16-day celebration is proving to be less than successful. Watch @premthakker.bsky.social explore the disastrous fair. Subscribe to zeteo.com for more!

YIKES!!

I’m no Barry Butler, but I did manage to capture a lightning strike from my back porch. #ilwx

The USMNT chant “I believe that we will win!” is such a hideous butchering of the Nicene Creed. Alert JD!

Cool finding! Article includes “palette-cleanser” and I just saw another palate/palette mixup. People!

Such a pretty girl. Who? 🦉😄 A Long-eared Owl (Asio otus), a medium-sized bird known for its prominent, ear-like feather tufts. The "ears" on this owl are actually just tufts of feathers called plumicorns, which are used for camouflage and communication rather than hearing. #bird #adorable

I’m imagining what human babies would look like with long legs

“They are going to be dedicated to the proposition that you need love, that you deserve dignity, no matter who you are, even if you're Megyn Kelly.” Jonathan Cohn talks the real people Megyn Kelly was targeting with her disgusting comments on Haitians.

Happened to get this shot with a doggo in it too!

In soccer they can determine if a player’s toe is offsides with computers, while in football they’ll have two guys haul a 10-yard chain onto the field to see if it’s a first down.

A data-driven analysis of how the New York Times's treatment of transgender subjects shifted "from rights-based framing toward more skeptical, conflict-driven coverage" since 2014, centering trans-rights opponents over trans people themselves. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Took me a moment to decipher “Chequia” on Telemundo

I agree that Oreo cookies are brown, not black, but disagree that you can refer to BEQ as “Emmett Quigley.”

Cute handpainted Pride sign in Edgewater

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and— I said look. Look with your eyes! Oh now you’ve gone and touched it. The paint is peeling. My beautiful paint! I’ll have to call my pool guy back. Vandal! Antifa! I said look And despair Nothing but the algae remains.
