The New York Times fires back at Donald Trump's complaints about its story on his declining fitness and age-based slowdown, which included Trump calling reporter Katie Rogers "ugly."

Treatment for trans kids cannot wait for adulthood. Adolescent changes in the body are permanent and irreversible. The pain of dysmorphia kills. No medical professional treats kids casually, no family seeks treatment casually. Treatment is safe, effective and is a conservative course of action.

People have the power!

Parks and Rec isn't a hill to die on, but one thing it gets right is this whole government thing rests on the shoulders of people you will never know, caring a lot about jobs you've never heard of, fighting challenges thrown at them from every angle just to make life a little better for everyone.

Looking for new baseball books this fall? Check out the new edition of the SABR Bookshelf, with dozens of recently released books on all aspects of the game: sabr.org/sabr-bookshe...

Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this. But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!

Concrete jungle where dreams are made of

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

“Listening to Old Voices” from Stolen Moments is a song I hadn’t noticed before.

Listening to John Hiatt hits differently in my 50s than it did in my 20s.

This game in the 2016 Series would have killed me.

Wait, the game is still going?

These guys get $50k signing bonuses. Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos. They get almost no training, many couldn’t pass an open book exam & they’re allowed to hide their faces. They’re swinging assault rifles around in public. Abolish ICE

Thank you, Chicago.

Shout out to my fellow #Saturdaylibrarian!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

MSNBC Grandmas in Skechers seamlessly reclaiming the frog from 4chan Nazis in about six weeks has gotta be the political upset of the century.

It's good for baseball that there's an old dude named "Pat Murphy" managing a team. Over the next couple of decades every other manager is gonna be a 37 year-old ex-catcher named "Austin" so we should cherish our old guys named "Pat Murphy" as long as we can.

The thing about this story: It is, in fact, a hyper-local story, and focuses on hyper-local figures and activists. Except it also involves comments from the Archbishop of Chicago. And from a U.S. Senator. And from Pope Leo himself, who is, of course, a native Chicagoan. They're all involved.

Cal Raleigh looks like he should play for the White Sox.

Weird to see a relatively quiet playoff crowd.

Keeping the world safe from *checks notes* rideshare drivers

This is the most beautiful and heartbreaking action by these bystanders.

That last challenge nearly did me in.

Everyone knows if you really want to blend in on the streets of Chicago you don’t wear camo you wear this

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

i get that this is supposed to be a joke, but i’ll go ahead & fulfill the humorless librarian stereotype & point out that the move to online catalogs has empowered library patrons and rendered collections legible and accessible and integrated like no other development in the history of libraries. 📚

Now there’s a better guest

Sandberg would have stayed with the team.

You know what’s actually possible? That a person on the autism spectrum invents the next Tylenol.

RFK has done the impossible. Made the librarians like Elsevier

There are signs that while ICE is driving around, they may be scouting out homes where they see any signs laborers are present. If you have people working for you, whether it’s roofers, painters, landscapers, carpenters, whatever, you should have a plan to protect them if ICE shows up.

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

I’m loving the excitement in Pat Hughes’ voice today!

Javy Báez and I talk plate discipline

Legacy media and cable news reduced Trump's aggression against Chicago to a question of whether troops would be sent immediately. When he said he was taking his fascist military spectacle elsewhere, those media players declared the situation over—while waves of federal agents attack our neighbors.

Listening to the Braiding Sweetgrass audiobook with to Bears game on mute.

SISKEL & EBERT, which premiered #OTD in 1986, had a master class of an opening sequence. Thirty-five seconds, 21 shots, and a flawless establishment of the professional rivalry of two Chicago newspapermen who inspired a generation of film buffs. #FilmSky #TVSky

Should have brought Len Kasper back for this game

Today’s asshole is tomorrow’s martyr.

A lot of people are mad about this, but you’re missing the point that he’s making his argument the right way without raising his voice or using any bad words

Mariachi in the Midwest is a wonderful antidote to what ails us.

Listening to breaking news on the radio like it’s 2001.

This is 100% a name thought up by a kid playing with his William the Refrigerator Perry GI Joe figure in 1986.

Lots of misinformation going around about ICE in Chicago including this post below showing masked agents. IT'S AN OLD VIDEO. Listen to local experts like @unraveledpress.com. Don't re-post clips without double checking to see if they are accurate. If you don't know for sure, don't share.

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend. What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...
