Well, Eric Schmitt just made every voter in Missouri look like a dirtbag Nice elected representative you got there! He’s your best is he? Can’t tell a Hawk from a Hawkeye?

Sadly, the University of Chicago is gating its fantastic museum of Ancient Cultures (ISAC) with a large admissions fee. Continuing the spiral away from social good. Apparently, there was a marketing study.

The Excluder's Paradox: Exclusion cannot unmake them from our mind. Our children inherit both the excluded and the excluding.

I am so tired of Dems and lefties agreeing with fascist apologists that “woke” went too far! There was no uptick in the amount of bad crap that happens to people because of bullying and corporate ineptitude. They just cherry picked and branded some awful stories for their project bothsidesism.

Iran to begin charging ‘service fee’ for passing the #reflecting_pool.

You're laughing... I can't withdraw my Bonk from Kraken and you're laughing?

Nothing funnier than dusty white dudes on the Internet thinking they‘ve “won.”

Amen! This will destroy capitalism. It is not an inherently stable system. Any actual capitalist knows that. They just hope they can game it to get a bit richer before saying so. Now it’s musical chairs.

Trump’s greatest gift to this country? ‘Covfefe’ or ‘he was never the sharpest bulb’? Best thing he has ever done!

Just finished “the night manager season 2” What a terrible sequel! All style and no substance. Twists for the sake of twists, carried off without explanation or intelligence. How disappointing.

During Trumps term, immigration enforcement has committed more crimes, and more egregious crimes, than all of the immigrants in this country combined.

And anyone in the Trump admin who ordered the strikes or knew about them is a murderer. It's also that simple.

Honest request: Is there anyone who understands the social science research about diversity and excellence and opposes the practical efforts to increase diversity? I would like to read and understand that argument. All I can find are people who seem to be willfully ignoring the literature.

Please Dodgers 🙏, stand with the people of your city. Stay away from politicians and the White House!

Make Argentina Great Again! Trump has now introduced his Argentina First policy where instead of a foreign aid policy, we just give billions of US tax dollars to foreign governments at the whim of the executive / King.

I dislike the phrase, “touch grass,” as a recommendation for grounding yourself, aligning your priorities. Don’t get me wrong! I love the message. I just hate grass. It is a scourge, or at least lawns are. Can I please touch a tree instead?

Perhaps it is time for the UN to build a new headquarters, somewhere else. NYC made a lot of sense back in the late 40s. The US was a trust-worthy host, and a strong backer of the ideals that the UN embodies — alas, no longer true. How about Victoria, Seychelles as a great location? It seems perfect

NPR first wrote about the group "No Sex for Fish" in 2019 — Kenyan women out to end the practice of trading sex to a fisherman in exchange for his catch to sell. Since then they're faced tribulations.

As I watched the clips of the units marching in front of Dear Leader I was disconcerted, so I looked it up. According the US Army, they are ~50% White. api.army.mil/e2/c/downloa... That is not the Army that marched past Donald Trump!

I watched some clips of the Army's Trump Parade. Strangely chintzy looking really. Hardly a show of power. The audio was humorous with the tanks rattling and squeaking. The units were all so spread out, with small, half-empty viewing areas. I guess the rain kept folks away ;}

#Chicago no more Arlington Heights Bears. Brilliant. Let’s find something more enjoyable to do with Soldier Field! #redstars

She waited… and her hero showed up 🩵

If you have an okay life in a corrupt system, and you tell people that they should follow the rules, then you (and I) are Lawful Evil. May the Fourth be with you!

Living the dream!

@ronlieber.bsky.social I really appreciated this article in the NYT! I’ve taught at my University for 20 years, and my two children went through college, and I never understood this mechanism. Wow! www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04... Does anyone know where Judge Hannah Dugan is being held? Is she still in Milwaukee?

Happy #Easter Weekend! 🤣

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

#HANDSOFF CHICAGO

Huge crowd in Chicago

Ah! Sir Terry.

Gender Affirming Care: The medical definition usually includes patients changing genders, not all do. There is a broader set of treatments and procedures, many covered by medical insurance, that affirm gender. Erectile Disfunction treatments being one obvious one. CARE is the important part!

This crap is bad for Chicago. The CPD has no history that we should be trusting!

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Ordered my tomato plants!

If your school is not on this list, it is either small enough not to be noticed, or an embarrassment. Mine is an embarrassment. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

We will be at Federal Plaza Square in Chicago!

Amuse-bouche?

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org
