Bone-in pork chops with chanterelles in a crème fraîche sherry sauce. Side dish is orzo with sautéed leeks. The dusting of finely chopped chives counts as the veggies, no?

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

Beef curry a-la Izakaya Rintaro. It's missing the kabocha squash because I forgot to buy some. I don't mind. It still came out yummy.

Dinner I made recently. Got these beautiful pork chops from @zanottosmarkets . Reverse seared them. Topped with an herbaceous and tangy parsley pistou. I needed to use leftover leeks and spinach so I put them in orzo with some feta for the side dish. Yum yum yum.

Elon Musk is in the middle of approvals for a new $1 TRILLION pay deal from Tesla, one condition of which is him involving himself in politics less.

Yesterday he called for the overthrow of the UK government at a far-right rally, just days before that government hosts a Trump state visit.

Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?!

They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy.

Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

I just saw a real estate ad on Instagram. As a selling point, the presenter mentioned that the condo had "an original mural from the 20th century."

Putanginangshit! STFU you stupid presenter! 😂😂😂😭😭😭

Kirk’s advocacy of vigorous debate ought not be separated from what he said while jousting in the public square.

No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way

His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.

I'd love to be Team No Case, like @mkbhd.com , but I get too anxious about dropping my phone, even though I'm not a klutz. So yay, the case I ordered for my new phone has arrived, and I can finally breathe. lol
