This repetitive clip of bulls marching in a 1930s Van Beuren cartoon struck me as incredibly, even profoundly funny when I was high the other night

Judge Reyes begins by explaining who the plaintiffs are: not "killers, leeches, or entitlement junkies" as Kristi Noem suggested.
They are a neuroscientist, a software engineer, a laboratory assistant, a registered nurse, and an economics major. All were facing deportation.

Judge Reyes starts with a comparison: George Washington versus Kristi Noem.
![[start quotation] MEMORANDUM OPINION
On December 2, 1783, then-Commander-in-Chief George Washington penned: “America is open to receive not only the Opulent & respected Stranger, but the oppressed & persecuted of
all Nations & Religions.”1
More than two centuries later, Congress reaffirmed President
Washington’s vision by establishing the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. See 8
U.S.C. § 1254a (TPS statute). It provides humanitarian relief to foreign nationals in the United
States who come from disaster-stricken countries. It also brings in substantial revenue, with TPS
holders generating $5.2 billion in taxes annually. See Part VI.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a different take."[end quotation]
Underneath is a screenshot of a tweet, which reads: " Secretary Kristi Noem
@Sec_Noem
I just met with the President.
I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that's been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.
Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom-not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.
WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.

If the cheese easily separates from the sauce on a frozen pizza that's a dealbreaker even if it's otherwise decent. Looking at you, Connie's!!

Always fun when the rest of the country gets to learn that the bosses at the Tribune have been conservative freaks forever
From the Editorial Board: You don’t need to share the Vances’ political views to be happy for them.
Editorial: A baby at 1 Observatory Circle
A new life is a reason for hope, a moment that invites optimism about the future. We wish Usha and the Vance family well.

The lighting on season 2 of The Pitt isn’t as bright as it was in season 1. I can tell because I had to turn off the lamp in my living room for the premiere, which I never had to do for season 1

My least Chicago-coded trait is that I’m becoming more and more of a winter weakling as I get older. I hate dealing with this shit and I hate becoming a hermit during these long cold snaps/storms. I’m ready to move to California just in time for the climate apocalypse

Gave myself another allergic reaction because I didn't notice the "may contain traces of peanut" note on a box of cookies again... this has happened to me a Darwin Awards number of times.

Aside from the randomly visionary outlier that was mother! (2017), it's clear that Darren Aronofsky has been floundering for a long time with no solid sense of why he makes movies anymore. He has no identity as a filmmaker, so perhaps he's grasping for "AI guy" as a belated acquisition of identity.

It must feel great to be a Gen-X comedian/actor who’s just a podcaster now. Semi-passive income reading Uber Eats ads. Working like 6 hours a week, no need to get cast in a movie or TV show
