The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.

My friend Andrew Lih @fuzheado.bsky.social is a freakin hero. A gunman came into his Wikipedia event, and he grabbed and disarmed him. Thanks to him and another brave volunteer, no one was hurt—not even the gunman.

Somewhere there’s an Onion article where a Chicago cop gets arrested for not having a mustache. Which is funny. But this is not normal.
It’s been about 2 months since I accidentally updated the Twitter app and failed to interrupt it in time to save the bird, yet X never appeared.

Here’s what I’ve learned over 8 weeks of ignoring that other microblogging (lol) app:
Look, I thought I knew things, but I had no idea that Bill Murray is on tour in a classic rock cover band. billandbloodbrothers.com
The Blue Jays came to play. I’m really enjoying this series despite being a National League elitist.
While we wait *forever* for a Bloomingdale Trail aka 606 extension, I wonder why this broken bridge section of the long-defunct rail line is still dangling over the Chicago River.
Looks like they’re making progress on the Cortland Bridge renovation. Yes, bicycles, scooters, pedestrians can still cross. Cars, no. So what are they doing in there?

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story.

"The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."
Indiana University has fired the staff director of the student newspaper, after disputes in which university leadership tried to pressure him to prevent students from publishing news.
