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

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

The aspect of Bluesky posting culture that I absolutely do not relate to or understand is the constant negative attention toward policies enacted by the employees of Bluesky about moderation or whatever. I'm sorry, who gives a shit? Why are people obsessed with this topic?

I'm happy for everyone in the alternate timeline where President Bernie Sanders gave us all a 30-hour work week. I'm not bitter. They deserve it more than I do

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.
