The only real analysis that makes sense is they didn’t want to mess up their own Thanksgivings

I’m hungover and yet I seem to have more energy than the Bills

All these guys sound so indignant when they complain about the problems brought about by their own politics. They’re in a real reaping phase.

First as comedy, then as national tragedy

40th Ward Ald. Andre Vazquez is up next. “I’ve never been prouder to be a Chicagoan in my life. … Come to Chicago and you’ll realize what greatness in this county looks like,” he says, riffing off MAGA. “Chicago is a welcoming city unless you’re a fascist.”

Could Trump make a frozen pizza? I bet he would end up smearing toppings all over the oven.

Good morning my friends, please enjoy this first post about a joke that was absolutely everywhere in the late 80s and early 90s: www.imightaswellexplainthejoke.com/elvis-is-ali...

Building affordable net-zero housing with climate resilience measures is something we could do everywhere — but the guy making luxury homes on the Florida coast gets the press as a “pioneer” apple.news/Ar8rD5vAtQjO...

The ICE GO HOME stickers on mirror vinyl are in and they look so good. Only $2! If you're in a city with a particularly noxious ICE presence I give you a few extra, for good measure. square.link/u/gsHlY5WF

Would love to see an article critically asking what anyone learns in business classes

Astounding that the consultant class has just decided that “climate change” is an issue of popularity

I was reading the news this morning and saw an amazing story. I said to my wife, "Look! Scientists say you can now breathe through your ass!" My wife said, "That’s just great. Hey, when you run to the store, make sure to ask for TWO plastic bags."

Geno Suarez hits a Grand Slam to put the Mariners up 6-2 and seal Game 5 of the ALCS! "The City is Shaking!" #SeizeTheMoment

It’s funny being back in Western New York where everything is Bills stuff but all the fans are miserable

Come to the live show on November 22! You’ll see me as Roger and maybe even catch a glimpse of Chicago luminary Geoffrey Baer

Excited for an encore performance of Sneak Previews, a stage show that stars @zackmast.bsky.social as Ebert and @sawinchell.bsky.social as Siskel

THIS IS A HISTORIC MOMENT SEAN DUFFY HAS MANAGED TO ILLUSTRATE THE FALLACY OF BEGGING THE QUESTION BY MISUSING THE PHRASE "BEGS THE QUESTION"

Pushing “market logic” into higher education has made the wealthy schools richer and the poorly resourced schools poorer. @lookheron.bsky.social builds on his arguments and findings in his recent report for @lpeblog.bsky.social. lpeproject.org/blog/the-neo...

Stefon Diggs played like a psychopath in a relatively meaningless Week 5 revenge game instead of any of the multiple times he was near a championship. A Hall of Famer of American spite.

bluesky is missing this

One night of rooting for the Giants and I feel like Scrooge kneeling at his grave begging for his life back

My boy has to go in for a dental cleaning tomorrow. Please send him good vibes for the scary anesthesia! Dream suggestions welcome.

I used to say conservatives are all just 14-year-olds who never grew out of it but the last year or so has definitely lowered the bar

Why does The Ringer's portrait of Aaron Rodgers make him look like a gnome in a human-sized helm?

My gf got a circular ad for Menard’s in her email which includes this bizarre product that’s certainly unsafe. The photo looks like a guy giving himself a lobotomy.

HANG IT IN THE ALLBRIGHT KNOX

interesting that Nate references “main character” as a term but still doesn’t seem to understand the concept of a website where people go to have fun

in college I would always look forward to reading the Cornell Review because it was, reliably, the stupidest fucking thing I’d read all month

I think Belichick will be remembered as a nerd who infiltrated a meatheads’ sport, but by the time the nerds caught up to him he had fallen victim into his own arrogance and failed to adjust to his new reality. It’s a classic American story.

Andrew Carnegie built libraries and our modern Robber Barons are like “what if we made books that drove you insane?”

Patrick Henry was like the only one calling out Madison’s bullshit and even he still owned slaves

Stumbled upon this old Wordpress from the director of the Lord of the Rings behind the scenes documentaries and it's very endearing. Like this comment that expresses confidence in the upcoming behind the scenes docs for The Hobbit.

I respect Jamelle Bouie’s belief that he can influence a corrupt institution from within but there’s no excuse for Will Shortz

Red Ring of Death #1,690, “One Nation, Under Shawn,” circa 2012. Released in the week before the 2012 Presidential election, this strip was Shawn’s last ditch effort to revitalize his crumbling bid for the Presidency. An incredible bit of history!

I finished @greenwell.bsky.social’s amazing book on private equity, Bad Company (on audiobook! from my public library!), and came away with both a reinforced hatred of private equity and a renewed faith in human-centric solutions and solidarity to get us through.

As Sam Altman continues to encroach on my sense of security, I have probably thought more about this piece by @davidrussellmoore.bsky.social than anything else I’ve read this year. flaminghydra.com/sam-altman-a...

I look at this every few weeks and chuckle at it, it is one of my favorite creations

I was just there a couple weeks ago and took a moment to really appreciate the speech. Incredible piece of writing.

Networking feels like one of the last remaining categories of consumer products where all the things are simply available for sale and designed to solve specific problems.

Successfully set up a MoCA network in my two-bedroom apartment with spotty WiFi and I feel like I could solve any problem on earth now

I recently heard an activist recall how the Red Scare interrupted a lot of political awakenings, to where many older black people are still afraid to talk openly about what once filled them with enthusiasm.

Chicago: I’d recommend stopping by the South Side Community Art Center in Bronzeville to check out their art sale this weekend sscartcenter.org/event/black-...

He also had this to say in 1998:

Talked to a few Chicagoans about bailing on Spotify

“For Ellison, movies have been a lifelong interest. He recounted his days growing up when he, his mother and sister would go to the cinema or pick from their extensive home library of video cassette tapes.” Not mentioned in the article, but that sister is Annapurna Pictures founder Megan Ellison.

yeah

It seems fair to start placing Bernie in a historical context, but that March 2020 Bernie rally in Grant Park was the last time I and many of my friends felt like we had any agency in the course of federal politics. That must count for something.
