They're all special parks, brant
I’ve studied US drone strikes, I wrote a book called “Drones and Terrorism,” and this Caribbean strike is different. Lethal fire at a non-threatening target in a non-hostile environment on purpose when other means, such as capture, were easily doable, and without even attempting a legal rationale.
All these politicians ought to be challenging Trump to debates. I would love to see him and JB mano a mano right now
I have 100 ready to go to hand out tomorrow morning
I went to high school with Emmy's little sister Leona

I'm a white Sox fan, so that's no problem for me!
Hey! Do you live in Chicago, anywhere west on the Blue Line? Do you like to take a nice walk on a fall day? Are you interested in hearing about labor and why it's important? Then join me for @chicagodsa.bsky.social's first 606 Trail Walk & Talk, Saturday at 9:30AM! RSVP link below! See you there!

This TikTok someone in DC posted is a great example of various agency vibes on the ground here.
I think we've got some interesting times ahead of us chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...
Those people were probably so annoying
*sits bolt upright in bed* BAT IS SHORT FOR BIRD RAT
Yeah, Gladwell's always been shit. He fooled me the first time I heard him but I think I heard one smart criticism of him and realized it was BS all the way down
Believe it or not, the BBC was in negotiations to replace him with Noel Gallagher until the Oasis reunion quashed that.

Chicago: Cheese pizza (pie would be understood, but it isn't common) Most places sell by the slice, but not deep dish, it's the thin crust that we eat way more often, cut into triangles, rather than the usual tavern cut.
The tween scored a working disc man at a thrift store. Came home, put batteries in it, popped in a cd, and then *held it up to her ear.*
I'm not shitting you, this was in my Google News feed
I believe this wholeheartedly.
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
Dammit. One of those performers who always brought it all
New rule: Grouse all you want, but once you do it for 5 minutes, aha!, you have to actually do something
Get well soon
So that rules out Taylor swift. I'll get this eventually
Probably a lot of people. I'll need another hint
Fuck OpenAI
This is true. It used to rhyme with "nuclear"
By a majority of accounts
I don't know their actual habits, but my gut says it's Guinness for Liam (Santa) and cigarettes for Noel (Krampus)
Please stop quoting this in my timeline. All of my partners enjoyed nearly every moment of our coitus.
I am so cursed that the only part I understood was "o9a"
Pete Townshend: Why not just Tommy?
I've been waiting to start listening to these episodes until I finished part 1 of Dazed & Confused, even thinking that these seemed like interviews that might interest Andrew, and I was so pleasantly surprised to hear Terry directly attribute the inspiration to 500 Songs.
Thank you, Andrew, for inspiring Terry to dig these interviews out of the archive. All in all, great work, everybody!
2 songs? Or am I missing some?
I'm still on that Ashley Monroe tip btw
Their posting history prior to this was 2 posts to r/Trump, no text in either beyond the title, one was "I am a black woman who voted for Trump" They deleted both of them the moment I left a comment pointing out their existence.
I don't know what this MAGA troll's plot is, but somebody is trying to do something with the running community in my village
Thank you for your service
And re all the people saying to build the routine by starting to go to bed earlier, I say bullshit. It's easier to build the wake-up habit. Going to bed earlier will naturally follow.
It's easy once you've built a habit. I built that habit by being excited about why I was waking up early. I have a great job and I love getting there on time and leaving on time. (Part of why it's a great job is that I am done when I am done and it does not follow me home)
This is the rare example of an image that I don't care if it's real, if it's manipulated, or if it's AI. I don't care. It's perfect.
But...but *you're* the mayor right now
One could say
I don't know who needs to hear this, but simple syrup is really easy to make. Very uncomplicated process
No AbFab talk so don't get your hopes up
Not sure play reviews are a good thing in preseason NFL games
BREAKING: I spoke with the parents of the two pro-Palestine protesters, including a 15-year-old teenage boy, who were dragged into an Egyptian government building in New York and allegedly beaten by Egyptian officials, and were then arrested by the NYPD: theintercept.com/2025/08/22/g...
Sounds like a fun event
What is this supposed to mean? Is it inviting me to live in an 80s simulation? I hate it
I am excited for this Sterlin Harjo's 'The Lowdown' is a love letter to his hometown Tulsa - Los Angeles Times share.google/L5g2NiwRVJTS...
I read it as "sexual intercourse in the fashion of a person from Detroit"
This is one of those "sweet summer child" moments. I hope she sticks around through the grim, inevitably grim ending.
I'm not too far into the new season but maybe it's an intellectual exercise for her, and/or she doesn't want to see *other* people get away with it
I caught a bit of a 1995 episode of Music City Tonight yesterday, and Sam Moore and Bill Monroe were both guests. They did not perform together, sadly, but just knowing those two met kind of rocks my world.
me getting stabbed multiple times by a crazy guy in an alley: help! This is murder! you, very smart, adjusting glasses, watching it happen: actually that's not murder yet. he has only assaulted you. it's not murder until you're dead
Fuck yeah, Paul Weller! www.billboard.com/music/music-...
Ok
We ❤️ U!
I read "Donald Westlake" and thought "nooooo," and "how could he?" and "especially since he's been dead since 2008"
Helluva marketing campaign
"They were young" 😒
I don't like this. I don't have a pithy metaphor here but it's like mocking people who got poisoned by snake oil that was sold as prescription medicine.
Or tonnes, if you must
There is no evidence to suggest it and tons to refuse it
That makes sense, but did he think he had to forget everything he learned about writing when he dropped out?
Did he drop out or did they throw him out of the English Dept?
You should only be allowed to vote for Peace and Love if you manage to listen to the entire album (challenge: impossible). Peace and Love is the fourth-best Pogues album. Wrong is one of the best albums of the late 80s full stop. The choice should be obvious
I love the Pogues but this is Nomeansno all the way. Obligatory live video from this album: youtu.be/7gtK_4gyf0M?...
I've had Del Amitri's 1995 single Roll with Me stuck in my head the last few days, only I don't know the song well enough to be sure what they were singing and had to guess at the lyrics to look up what the song was called, who sang it, and when it came out. I am an expert now. AMA
I used scare quotes
Should have said "'centrists' get a new publication"
Honestly, been a great day
I think the case against Fugazi is that it's not a proper album. It's really two EPs repackaged.
I liked it
Tears of fucking rage
Even if they hadn't left those papers behind, should they be connecting the public printer on a hotel's network? That seems terribly insecure
"J K Rowling" is an anagram for "I wish ill upon"
Ok, I've only had it twice but I think I nominate Amato's as best Chicago pizza
They make millions. We make peanuts. Living wages for Dodger Tour Guides now.

Well done.
What do submariners get? Knuckleballers?

The weirdo who goes to street fests with a pet rat on their shoulder
Leaving aside that I think all catchers should be defense first, yes to all of this
This was when he recorded that album with Kenny Loggins
Give her time
Me wishing these were audio notes so I could hear the legendary George Wallace say “Labubu” ☮️♥️
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this troubling time 🙏🏼
What's with the Cooky the Clown erasure?
This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.
America is no longer descending into fascism. We are seconds away from impact Military occupation has come to DC. If and when military occupation comes to where you are, there are things that you can do. This article outlines some of them
