Saddened to share that in the recovery efforts in Kankakee County local officials have now learned of one casualty.

My heart breaks for this individual’s family and the whole community.

May their memory be a blessing.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

Here in our state, people really do stand up for one another.

Whether it’s neighbors, friends, or the local officials of Kankakee County, they’ve stepped up to help each other out.

Proud to see in these moments that we are truly one Illinois.

As if this two-bit arseclown has any personal idea of what’s taught at C&GS, much less the War College.

Finally picked up FF14 Cookbook vol 2! I had pre ordered the gift set, but it got cancelled. Apparently there is a wave 2 out next month, but I didn't want to wait anymore.
I'm so excited! I'm disappointed that they don't have a recipe here for chocolates to make the soul gems. Boo

To everyone affected by the storm and tornado damage in Illinois, you are not alone.

I was on the ground in Kankakee County to survey the damage from this week and meet with those impacted.

You have the full support of the State to help with rescue and recovery.

"As a whole, the rabbinic discussions about Sodom demonstrate that, for the rabbis, the true definition of 'sodomy' is toxic selfishness combined with an extreme devotion to property rights."

Yeah, Inknow I haven't been around the past couple of days. I've been doing chauffering for Laura's doctor appointments--she can't with an arm in a sling. Stitches came out Monday. Yay! She's doing very well, he said, knocking wood.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

The "standards" to which the House of Lords holds its members would be risible in a kindergarten. You can help to defraud your country, cause untold death and sorrow, yet still resign declaring innocence. A minor social club would kick you out in disgrace; the Lords is a get-off-free gravy train.

seeing more disgusting genocidal racism talk coming from Israeli politicians now that more bombs are dropping.

There is no justification.

Every human being's life is equally precious and demands our dignity, care and consideration.

Full stop.

That ain't a rainbow son
It's streetlamps on petroleum
Let's pull in here & get us some
Supplies are running out now
It ain't the reason for the war
That's meanness boy & nothing more...

It doesn't matter who we blame
As long as you all hear a name
All them bastards look the same
Everyone is guilty
