The Chicago Bulls have become so irrelevant to the wider world of basketball that you could easily convince several people that they were made up for Space Jam to avoid trademark disputes

Was talking to a random nice older woman from East Isles last night and ICE came up. She then detailed, totally free of irony, her plan for reforming US government, which included the simultaneous mass execution of every leading member of the Trump administration, many of whom were mentioned by name

thinking of the alternate universe where Sufjan Stevens got around to the New Jersey album and its beautiful and slightly haunting tribute to Camden, "City Invincible, City of Friends (Rivers! Ruination! Rejuvenation!, or, The Victrola Murmurs Love and Lament)"

Every so often I remember that SEPTA manages to have a better airport connection than any of the New York City area agencies can get to their big three airports. Incredible. Never stop believing in yourself.

reposting both for underlying insight and for solid use of "zugzwang"
one of the key motions of protest is that it places the adversary in zugzwang: either they abide the protest, and look weak, or attack the protest, and look cruel
