It is agonizing to now watch another city go through this

Never in history has a pope been so close to streaming a playthrough of Fallout: New Vegas

I appreciate my friends who text first so much, as someone who is often initiating conversations. Always nice to know someone is thinking about you enough to pause in their day to reach out.

Seriously. I'm judging your fucking ass forever if you keep playing the NYT games after today. The last **decade** of everyone's lives could have played out completely differently if a few people in charge at the New York Times hadn't buried the emails they've had.

Attorneys who are alleging inhumane conditions at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center in Broadview will be able to take photographs, talk to detainees and include a detention expert in an unusual tour of the suburban facility, which will unfold over four hours on Thursday.

Business rent is way too high on Mag (not Miracle) Mile so companies are just shuffling around. H&M moved two blocks down the road to save cash. He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

Keep sharing please - lots of good resources, across the country, for folks who need them and folks who want to support the businesses & orgs providing those resources

How it started/How it is going

And not that facts matter, but the Mag Mile isn't in decline because of crime — like at all. It's in decline because retail is in decline. But it's still a spectacle of wealth and commercialism. Tourists from all over the world merrily shop there. It's not a remotely scary or run-down place.

And it's not a "shopping center," it's a mile-long commercial corridor, for fuck's sake.

It's the Magnificent Mile. Miracle Mile is a 1988 apocalyptic thriller in which Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham are incinerated in a helicopter.

When people say "There weren't many women in palaeontology/palaeoart in the 19 & 20th century" they pretend that women in the Central & East Europe did not exist, despite ladies ruling the show in that corner of the world for a century.

I know many of us are tired, scared & angry. When you can, if you can, channel that into doing what you can to help. Every day it's more clear the only ones who are going to save us ... are us. Whenever you start to say "people should do x," it's you. You're "people." We're "people." It's just us.

I just noticed that the wax head of Dark Souls 3 has its candle wick texture not cropped/ transparencied correctly, surrounded by a black rectangle. My immersion has been ruined! Pre-order canceled, etc.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit this should not be controversial 🫠

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

In a nearby galaxy the battle has resumed over the placement in books of citational notes—which of course go in the back; only adorable digressions are set as actual footnotes—and I am STAYING OUT OF IT.

Folks. If you love your city and the people in it and feel helpless in the face of the fascist forces roaming your neighborhoods, read this piece and find some way to resist or to keep resisting or to support others who are. Be like Chicago. City of Broad Shoulders indeed.
