Queen of the Harpies.

40-something who likes classic rock and has a noticeable swearing problem. White Sox Bluesky standard-bearer. Never proofreads.

Baseball and Dr Pepper.
I deleted mine this morning, because this is just absolutely nuts.
TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list.

They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

“What’s one of your favorite songs? I’m gonna play it.”

“I like Abigail by King Diamond”

(Song starts playing)

“You LIKE this song?!”

“Yeah. … You just gotta get used to it.”

“OK. Here’s another one. 90s Metallica. Load or Reload?”

“Neither, really.”

“OK then. Puppets or Ride the Lightning?”

“I’ve always liked RTL.”

“That’s bc it’s the right answer. OK. OK. Lightning… or Justice?”

It's very cold across most of the country, so to counteract that, quote-post a favorite photo from a summertime baseball game.

Speaking as a parent, none of us knows what the hell we’re doing. None of us *knows* best. So instead we just *do* our best, and when you don’t know what to do, you should listen to the experts.
This is why I wholly reject the “a parent always knows what’s best for their child” argument because in many cases they absolutely do not

“These vaccines protect children and save lives,” Dr. O’Leary said. “It’s very frustrating for those of us who spend our careers trying to do what we can to improve the health of children to see harm coming to children because of an ideological agenda not grounded in science.”

Except children don’t get to make these decisions for themselves…?
OMG. Milhoan “said that he did have “concerns” that some children might die of measles or become paralyzed with polio as a result of a choice not to vaccinate. But, he said, “I also am saddened when people die of alcoholic diseases,” adding, “Freedom of choice and bad health outcomes.”

I would prefer to sit through a million 121 loss seasons
We’ve covered lots of losing local teams on the back page of this paper.

But none with a record as bad as the Chicago DOJ during Operation Midway Blitz:

0 convictions

11 charges dropped

3 no-billed cases

1 jury acquittal

This is unprecedented; I don’t know what to do with myself.
