I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.

HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

Overheard at Broadway/Devon: He wears polos and looks like he would have good hygiene, surprised you don’t remember him.

Saw a woman on the train remove a brick of cream cheese from her purse, unwrap it and take a bite. I have so many questions.

To help fight inequities faced by black mothers, Gov. JB Pritzker launched the Birth Equity Initiative this year. But the Trump administration’s orders to wipe DEI-related health data from government websites could “undermine” state efforts.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Much of the media's attention is focused on what harm Pete Hegseth's reckless irresponsibility might do to him, when it should be focused on what harm it could have done to our troops--and *will* do to our relationships with allies, especially in Europe.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

Mods are asleep, post 1920s NSFW entrance design. 1804 W. Farwell (1928-29).

Color photo of the front door to an apartment building, glass panes divided by dark wood, with similarly styled side lights on each side. White terra cotta door surround giving Gothic vibes. But all eyes go to a panel above the entrance, where a naked hunk engages in gardening.

Close-up of detail in stone or concrete: well-toned, naked man crouched and straddling the blade of a shovel, strategically placed over his groin. One hand is around the handle of the shovel, the other is plucking a plant from the ground.

Drunks walking past us en route to the bars, we’re pushing an infant in a stroller while walking our dog. You are our past, we are your future. Saturday morning on St. Paddy’s weekend in Lakeview.
