With Rodgers, Flacco, and now maybe Philip Rivers starting games this season you just know Tom Brady has thought about putting himself in for the Raiders

*chanting* Wild Loop Wild Loop Wild Lo

A ton of conservation initiatives mentioned, including "Transform underutilized auto-centric land uses like parking lots and spaces into walkable pedestrian plazas and green spaces to increase biodiversity, mitigate the urban heat island effect, improve air quality, and promote social gathering." 🌎

This is why I moved to Chicago

There are some good points in this report, but I'm disappointed not to see a single mention of freelancers or freelancing – freelancers are both holding up the tent of rigorous reporting and getting paid insanely low wages to do so. This is unsustainable and central to American journalism's woes.

A new bill aims to extend the U.S.’s only federal program to fund wildlife crossings, which expires in 2026. In this article, CLLC's Rebecca Boslough King highlights the demand for funds and importance of crossings to reduce collisions and reconnect habitat. mountainjournal.org/wildlife-cro...

"Everything is just a meme until you physically crash into a telephone pole" is maybe the defining ethos of everything now

Fascinating story on the future of the most interesting little town in Canada, maybe the most interesting little town in the whole far north

This is what happens when a team is focused too much on tradition and not enough on keeping up with the game — it’d be like trying to play the 90s Bulls against SGA or Jokic

“The Steelers offense is better with Mason Rudolph” No it’s not. That’s not true.

Do yourself a favor, and read @hels.bsky.social's newsletter on Thanksgiving traditions and the "supremacy of the turkey carcass"

“The Steelers offense is better with Mason Rudolph” No it’s not. That’s not true.

"Since becoming Green Bay’s QB1 in 2008, Rodgers has piled up more wins [in Chicago] than almost anyone — the third-most of any starting quarterback in that span. Including Bears QBs."

"Trump’s denial of disaster aid has left thousands of residents in Cook County, which encompasses Chicago, waiting to remove mold and to repair homes that were damaged by flooding from a storm in July or a storm in August"

Looking forward to the next season of Emily in Paris

I was just talking about this with some other freelancers -- if you're worried about the quality of journalism nowadays, you should be worried about the incredibly unstable economics of freelance journalism. Freelancers are the bottom of the journalism pyramid, holding it up and bearing its weight.

"Freelance journalism in 2025 is an incredibly difficult place to build a career. But, it turns out, it’s a decent enough arena for a scam."

once again forced to conclude that the cultural dynamic of late 2025 is 'i have lead poisoning' or 'there is a gas leak'

Legitimate chance the Bears (yes the ones from Chicago) are solely on top of the NFC North after tonight

As of right now Shedeur has a passer rating of 8.3

Nevermind the zero-sum game implied here, it's wild to just assume that tourists won't be interested in visiting the places where there is better food, unique cultural establishments, world-class theater, and walkable neigborhoods

It’s 2019. Mason Rudolph replaces an injured Ben Roethlisberger and does pretty good. It’s 2023. Mason Rudolph replaces an injured Kenny Pickett and does pretty good. It’s 2025. Mason Rudolph replaces an injured Aaron Rodgers and does pretty good. It‘s 2032.…

Not Sure How They Deal With Criminals In Your Town, But ’Round Here We Use A Restorative Justice Process

Whenever it rains in LA, I always think about the “Emerald Necklace Vision Plan”, which, if implemented, would result in expanded parks and green space along several waterways in the area.

I really can’t understand why a lot of people on here seem to defend the idea (also shared by the tech platforms!) that social media *isn't* a cause of mental distress, other than maybe some kind of user Stockholm syndrome From Superbloom, Nicholas Carr

I will no doubt read and enjoy all your very good Nuzzi jokes, but I also want to say earnestly, so many of us (myself included) are on the verge of being pushed out of this industry and it's genuinely so dispiriting to see the worst among us, ethics-wise, get such preferential treatment.

It is not quite 5:30 and it is dark as night — we are really living on a rotating orb, folks

A lot of Steeler fans in SoCal tonight

The populist platform

Has anyone written a piece looking at Nobody Wants This and Long Story Short in contrast with each other? Would love to read

Thanks to the Illinois’ massive investment in transit, Chicago has a bright transit future, with the dawn coming next year: —50% increase in every-10-min bus routes to 30 citywide —8-minute midday headways on rail lines —24-hour Orange Line service (Red & Blue already have it)

Just walked past this corner — it’s still up

Notably, cloning a recently deceased dog is a lot easier than cloning a long-extinct species

Seems like the answer to this is “no” — so does anyone want to hire me to make this? 👀 🌎🧪

Is there a podcast like Catalyst, Volts, or Odd Lots (read: smart, detail-oriented, outside the scope of pop sci) about wildlife/biodiversity/conservation issues? 🧪🌎

Legitimate question whether the Nets will win any games this season

It’d be crazy if Josh Allen could do this in the playoffs too

To put a finer point on it: • Lots of working-class folks live in 🟢🏘️ • There are lots of jobs in 🟡🏭 • We’ve already built 🔵🚆 • But we’re missing 🔴🛤️ • So those workers have to drive on ⚫️🛣️ • Therefore we should #BuildTheTunnel 🔴🚇

Steelers incapable of finishing a game without inducing a spike in cardiac patients at UPMC

Gonna be a long day for the Steelers huh?

Zohran Mamdani argues that “freeze the rent” is not just a way of delivering relief from exorbitant housing costs—it is the only way to get enough voters on board with a growth agenda. Rogé Karma spoke with Mamdani to see if he has a point.
