"Each person plucked from their day-to-day existence left a whole life behind. There are shoes by the front door and an empty bed. There’s a car in the driveway and a job undone. There are pets that need feeding, bills that keep arriving and leases with months left to pay."
Apparently I have not been imagining even the nicest military base housing to be nearly as fancy as it must be
Well. Looks like it will be getting wild again.
I'm one of many professors quoted in this report from Alice Speri. I really appreciate The Guardian taking an angle which has basically eluded every other major outlet.

another "you're not wrong! the red X means you're doing it right; it's not an error, it's bad design" day for meeeeee
Looks like downtown is clear. I don't think it ever got too big, but I don't think I've ever seen it falling so fast
Here (Chicago/lakeshore) they're not big yet but so voluminous!
*PUT! Sheesh
NWS says these clouds have tennis-ball-sized hail, don't try to outrun this (I am sorely tempted to but staying out)
CPD residential searches fell sharply after the 2019 Anjanette Young raid.

Some day a judge is going to have to do this. And it needs to be soon.
Me, if a judge said this to me:
Seriously cannot get over this part. He's the US Attorney! He came to a show cause hearing about a filing from an atty in his office about invented citations without knowing whether AI was involved?!
He is lying or disrespectful or negligent or (I suspect) some combination of these
If I were a judge (we are all relieved I am not) I would also sanction THIS lawyer for DOJ

I talk a lot about my work on here but less so about my job(s). Well...with a week left until the IL primary, I'd like to ask you to read this report about some of where Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi gets his campaign money and why it's so important to this election.
And it's also a much bigger punishment to be banned from Wal-Mart than WF

Today, The Daily Beast picked up the story and discussed the NPR's analysis of the missing documents. But the response is still very muted. These is absolutely no defense for the Trump administation's actions. Impeach him now! bsky.app/profile/thed...
I get why people want to vote for Kelly because of Gaza. I think its a mistake because she will not win.
Senator Stratton would be more likely to pivot on the issue than a Senator Krishnamoorthi. And Stratton is a lot better on every other topic.
The right move is to vote Stratton & pressure her
