I write and talk about sports for a living. Quilt, sew, bake, and love Chicago. Probably making a Taskmaster or Murder, She Wrote joke. I won't answer any questions you can Google. I'm here for conversation, not debate. I mute whining about officials.

Since Broadview is so close to where I grew up and much of my family is near there, I want to be a resource for anyone heading there to protest. To begin with, here are some places where you can go and grab some food not far from the Broadview ICE facility. These are all BIPOC owned and delish.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

“The Little Movie That Couldn’t”: ‘Mallrats’ Turns 30
In the fall of 1995, Kevin Smith’s second film was a box office humiliation. Now, it’s become an embarrassment of riches. We chat with Smith about the movie and how it forever altered his career.

I have two Thanksgiving tips for everyone.
1. Assuming this works in your family dynamic -- if you don't know how your grandparents or parents met, what their weddings were like, etc., what it was like for them living through major historical events, this is a great time to ask questions.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

LOL, I went to high school with two of them (John Carrozza and Michael Zink) and they were both nice dudes in high school and uhhh, that was not the norm at a high school that had just gone coed.
As we work on our next judicial election guide, we want to hear from you: What should voters know about these attorneys and judges? If you recognize any of these names, send us your tips. buff.ly/DlOqYRA

It's a very irritating thing that Ken Burns is one of the most the world's most prolific collectors of quilts and yet he doesn't deem quilts -- which are both utilitarian and pieces of art -- important enough to look at. So yeah. I'd like for him to look at how quilts have kept America alive.
I figure Ken Burns has one, maybe two big documentary series in him before he fully retires. What do you think they should be? My votes include Football, Hip-Hop, World War 1, Reconstruction (though Skip Gates did this one well), Iraq/Afghanistan, 19th Century Expansionism.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.
