Part two of my series about Seaming for Modern Daily Knitting: this one's all about top/bottom joins. www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/sk... 🧶
Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes. Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.
1/ If you are feeling overwhelmed by the fast paced of legal news, remember that it’s deliberate. It’s a strategy Trump uses, flooding the zone in hopes that people will tune out. Read what you need to know here to get ready for the week: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...
Another record-breaking year for tourism, but these numbers represent more than just statistics: they signify jobs, local economic growth, and lifelong memories created in the Middle of Everything. Illinois is proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.
Brilliant
"The straw man being put forward is that it's either we have the military or we're going to get our throats cut at night in DC. Is there no middle ground? Do local law enforcement account for nothing? We've got the National Guard GARDENING right now in DC. Is that an efficient use of our resources?"
9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

That is the man women look for in a husband.
I’m curious to see how many of these Icer’s are Jan 6’ers, criminals, domestic abusers, dishonorably discharged vets, section 8’ers, with restraining orders, white power tattoos, foreign agents, etc.
I can see how this could confuse. OTOH, I have trouble with the underarm fit of raglan and this led me to AHA! EUREKA! as I realized I can increase or decrease the body and arm sides at different rates! Thanks for the knitting lesson!
Love this! Added to my Ravelry library!
The government has failed us. So we are stepping in. #media4good @msnbc.com
Can the media STOP referring to Jeffrey Epstein as a “financier”? The money he made came from SEX TRAFFICKING MINORS, RAPING CHILDREN, and BLACKMAIL. He was NOT a financier. I’ve seen at least five stories from three outlets refer to him this way in the past week. This is the latest from the Times:
donald trump has been convicted of more felonies than 99.9% of Washington DC residents.
ABC is still traumatized by the lawsuit they stupidly settled.
This is the way. Call it what it is: an invasion
Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."
Remember the last time he was really MIA was for ~7 days, during the campaign, just before he reappeared in Pennsylvania for his “assassination attempt.” Is he busy now in rehearsals for some new show?
I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Our TV president is avoiding the TV. Suspicious AF
I stand corrected. That's what I get for posting during my evening post-meal snooze.
Former National President of the United Mine Workers, John L. Lewis was born right here in Lucas, Iowa – and was one of organized labor's fiercest fighters. It's up to us to continue his legacy. That includes sending a pro-labor champion to the United States Senate.
New Mexico is overriding the federal government on the topic of COVID19 vaccines to ensure their residents can access them. States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
This “explicit” is a weird editorial choice. The constitution gives the president no power over this at all. It’s not ambiguous.
When Leana Wen, a right-leaning contrarian, writes this, we know things are very bad.

Yes! ✊🏻🫶🏻✌🏻
This is what a President looks like.
If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us. Follow @climate.us for launch updates.
Well that's the tipping point for my house. We'll have to get a Netflix account.
My reporting uncovered the existence of DoJ training videos instructing FBI personnel on how to flag Trump’s name in the Epstein files. I’m suing to get the videos under FOIA. substack.com/@muellershew...
The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.
Hey Mark- Told one of my chiropractic patients about Cost Plus Drugs last week and your mission after he complained a skin cancer medicine was going to cost him $1700- He found it on your website for under $20- for real. Best project ever. @costplusdrugs.com
All right, scientists. This is Stephen Miller saying that RFK Jr is vulnerable. The co-president doesn’t need to say things like this unless he feels like our hits have scored. Now is the time to turn up the pressure! Get RFK Jr OUT.🧪
Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.
One of my favorites!!! Love it!
Just another reason to keep giving Netflix my money.
My paternal grandfather was in an iron lung for a while as kid. Polio affected his growth and he lived with a limp. Vaccines help people live a healthy life.
Beautiful! They look soft and very cozy.
Trump is a Russian asset. I first started talking about this plainly obvious fact 10 years ago, on August 1, 2015. It is gratifying to see Portugal’s president agrees with me. All security policy in democratic countries should be based on the knowledge Trump is a Russian asset.
Birmingham, Michigan SHOWED up to where Mike Johnson was staying. Looks like he isn't getting much sleep.....
Democrats don’t sustain these fact barrages. They need to continue to show those stats and berate the media and Republicans for ignoring crime in red states. Newsom is correct, but a one time hit won’t do it. Democrats need to get on all media channels and not let up. Keep telling the truth.
FOX: *plays clip of Gavin Newsom pointing out that crime is higher in Louisiana than in California* FOX: Your response? MIKE JOHNSON: He needs to go an govern his state and not be engaging in this
Excellent question.
RFK Jr, "We need to stop trusting the experts, right.. Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy" Good luck America 🤷♂️
I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.
James Talerico, TX state rep - not a pastor.
Sad and true
Nobody has described Agent Krasnov more accurately than @kornetzke.bsky.social
How many tiny coffins will it take for Republicans to care ??
Well they're on my FB page several times a week making increasingly harsh & excoriating statements.....
a new, terrifying era has dawned where covid has proven to be a mass disabling event and we barely understand what's going on aside from the fact that this virus lives inside us for months to years damaging our immune systems and our cells and what do we do in response? blow up the CDC
NRA: “Guns don’t kill people.” ME: “They certainly seem to help.”
Let’s be clear, RFK is now currently limiting access to vaccines by preventing pharmacists from doing their job. This is playing out as we speak. In several states, pharmacists cannot vaccinate if the CDC and relevant advisory groups fail to give recommendations. @msnbc.com
Scotland’s signs are delivering. Y’all understood the assignment. 😂

Beautiful colors..
Sending the FBI into Georgetown is like sending Navy SEALS to shut down a lemonade stand.
Get politics out of public health. Get the creepy lunacy of RFK jr out of making health decisions based on his deluded opinions for 330M people
Oh what a delightful visit to the wool shop!!!!!! Rowan Felted Tweed!!! And some very nice markers as well, to keep those cable columns straight!
Don’t look away
Oh these pictures make it come alive for me. Thank you so much. Will gather some yarn and give it a try! Looks like fun!
It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot. It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place. Ban assault weapons again now.
Great set of follows here. Diverse perspectives on all this [waves arms wildly]...
Biden going after “gun dealers” licenses and treating these ingrates at gun shows like the DMV treats used car dealers (sell so many guns a year you’re a dealer; get a license) was the most common sense gun control measure I had seen in my lifetime! The ammo humpers lost their fucking minds!
I'm so sorry..its terrible when they leave us.
🎯
Believe me KKKroline if praying worked Trump would not be president.
Sanctimonious twat.
RFK Jr. will kill Americans, sure as death. You have the GOP to thank you for that.
#RFKResign RFK Jr is corrupt. He’s paid by law firms that sue vaccine companies. It’s a conflict of interest for him to blow up vaccines: he profits from that. Resign or be impeached and removed.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?
RFK Jr "the nation’s leading public health official does not have any real interest in — or possibly any real understanding of — public health" @jeneeninterlandi.bsky.social @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...
Quigley: Trump acts like a tough guy when it comes to going after some undocumented kid, but when he comes up against someone tougher than him, this president is a wimp.
Imagine skipping medical school, but thinking you know more than scientists — while wheezing like a busted leaf blower. 🙃
Thousands of Mike Johnson's own constituents are at risk of losing Medicaid coverage following the passage of a budget bill he pushed for. And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich. Don’t let him forget.
Firing RFK Jr would unburden a lot of overworked mitochondria in this country

Really? I can think of quite a few good reasons....
Completely and strongly agree. People don't want to hear the horrible reality that, as this boy explained, he is regularly trained to expect.
Exactly right.
Disagree. The parents recognized his ability to speak and allowed him to convey his truth. Its hard to think of a more empowering act in that moment. He was unique in his resilience and communication skills. I'm grateful to them.
