My campaign begins now

A DOGE staffer assigned to the National Endowment for the Humanities to flag grants for "DEI" tries to explain what "DEI" is. This deposition is part of a lawsuit by the @acls1919.bsky.social, @historians.org and @modernlanguage.bsky.social.

These shows are coming up

“The government could end all of the suffering in our country… We could have health care and access to food, healthy foods, fresh food, we could have good doctors. We should be asking, ‘Why are we investing billions of dollars into another war across the seas?’”

Eating With My Daughter and My Zepbound My food anxiety is inherited. Now that I’m on a GLP-1, I’m changing that for the both of us.

I have a column at @thecut.com now where I’ll be writing about fatherhood, and I figured I’d kick it off by talking about how I decided to start taking Zepbound because I want to do everything possible to be able to annoy my daughter for at least another 50 years. www.thecut.com/article/figu...

I bet @robertloerzel.bsky.social has a recommendation…

Oooh comparable to Low Life! That is a tough one!

The Aadam Jacobs Collection giveth

James Talarico saying he loves trans kids

UNEARTHED: Texas Democrat admits to feeling LOVE, an emotion that is WOKE and GAY

Attacks leave dead vs killed

Katharsis, by Kangding Ray from the album SIRĀT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Been thinking about Sirāt a lot since I saw it at the Music Box the other night, and man this score goes kangdingray.bandcamp.com/track/kathar...

A good reminder that an authoritarian in power to rage against doesn’t make great art, providing people with affordable living spaces does more to incubate cool weird fringe shit that’s internationally renowned decades later

a lectern with microphones is placed in the street in front of an ice detention center in broadview, illinois.

i’m outside the ice jail in broadview, illinois, where community members and electeds are holding a press conference after six people, including three u.s. citizens, were abducted from o’hare airport and detained for more than 40 hours.

feds took the six people to wisconsin before repeating them.

Richard Roeper’s 2026 Oscars predictions are here Get ready for the biggest night in show business, televised on ABC and live streamed on Hulu Sunday, Mar. 15 at 6 p.m. CT.

The Sun-Times abandoned film criticism once Roeper left the paper last year, so it’s particularly sad that this is the form of film commentary they’ll run: Oscar predictions by the former columnist oriented towards betting

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Everyone should not have to have a direct line to elected officials in order to ensure that we are not kidnapped by the government.

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

I am once again tapping the "support independent, worker-owned, billionaire free news" sign. the most powerful people in the world should not be deciding whether or not we know about this sort of thing. putting Marisa's subscription link below

Anyway here’s a whole lotta stuff happening in Chicago’s music scenes in the next week or so, and also some rad new music you can buy on B*ndcamp today

I love to read about local music news

South siders Lost Legion make oi! for everyday people fighting back against the feds - Chicago Reader South-side duo Lost Legion prefer simple, direct communication—at least judging from their unrestrained oi! punk.

I wrote about Lost Legion, who aren’t playing a record release show but a gathering of likeminded punks eager to be more involved in community organizing around jail support and ICE observation

Chicago's Broken Left Foot draw from alt-rock's deep well on Adaptor - Chicago Reader Chicago four-piece Broken Left Foot are well-versed in several subgenres of punk and alternative rock.

I wrote about Broken Left Foot ahead of their record release show

Chicago experimental duo Cleared make drone tracks for ambient dance heads - Chicago Reader Experimental musicians Michael Vallera and Steven Hess follow their impulses in the collaborative project Cleared.

I wrote about Cleared ahead of their record release show

Huge news for me personally

Thank you Mark Ruffalo and Bikini Kill bikinikill.bandcamp.com/merch/limite...

Waterslides?

That’s right
