more than anything what Team USA needs to work on for the next WBC is not fielding a team with so much Cop Energy
I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am
Real monkey's paw situation where last year I was convinced IL-9 would be reduced to Kat and Biss jawboning about I/P, but instead the campaigns are all metacampaigning about AIPAC and other dark money
I think a big part of the derangement of the average American is that they see people on their phone who are lying about how successful they are, believe that they're telling the truth, and then get mad that they aren't that successful right now.

Anyone want to pay me $1,500 so I can make increasingly labored jokes comparing Extreme Championship Wrestling to Elect Chicago Women for my dozens of followers?
I'm so sorry
I'm writing a hoax article about an addictive Northwestern basketball themed drug called Michael Jenkem
Apropos of nothing, there was a Northwestern themed Wrigleyville bar named Purple Haze that I believe CJ Bacher and a couple other ex football players opened, and there's hardly any proof it existed because it closed after like two weeks
βFund the policeβ was Bidenβs *applause* line in his first joint address to Congress. It was written to echo LBJ saying βwe shall overcomeβ in his joint address as a lifeline to a movement under attack. I really donβt bring it up enough.
Ald. Silverstein being personally pro video gambling is a very funny outcome of this tbh

It was my first day working from home. Over lunch I got my wife a spa gift card because it was her birthday that weekend. It felt weird to buy one, not knowing what would happen in the future, but I couldn't *not* get her something, and she'd really wanted a pedicure. It was never used.
*bursting into the room* did somebody say Davor Duvancic?
Mamdani is doing sweeps in NYC too and I have a hunch that institutional inertia is a hell of a thing
Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
We've seen another morning of increased ICE activity with DHS helicopter out and about in Chicagoland.
Feds have taken people from Humboldt Park and Ravenswood. Vehicles also seen in Rogers Park. ICE watchers are asking north side neighbors to get outside and keep an eye on landscapers & laborers.
You have this interesting A/B situation where the Italian team is all Americans going "mamma mia, that's a spicy grand-a slam!" but the actual Team USA is humorless warfighters
Somehow this is the Chicago Pope's doing
My man hit em with the Carl Fredricksen, go 'Cats
It does! Around page 30. Fine's unfavorables with younger voters are absolutely toxic. Meanwhile Amiwala has highest favorables for younger voters and Biss highest among older voters. I guess that tracks.
I'd really like to see an age breakdown of that one
Chicago municipal candidates the day after the Illinois primary
Yes I'm religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity.
Walt Disney's Carousel of Enshittification
So an armored truck of money poured into this race for Fine and it made her less popular. Excellent political instincts!
