Every TikTok I see about Chicago, I post "Chicago is the greatest city in the world" and get a chorus of "hell yeah" replies. And you may ask yourself, why do people love Chicago so much?

It's simple. Chicago is the greatest city in the world.

Antitrust law is legally distinct from first amendment speech. Hope that helps. In a just world they'd get rule 11 sanctions.
BREAKING: RealPage is suing New York, challenging a new state law that bans landlords from using algorithms to set rents.

My mom is coming into town this weekend but I have no plans tomorrow and I am sort of dreading the weekend itself. This entire year has just been an unending war on all fronts. I'm trying to take care of myself but it's really fucking hard.

From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

Cream cheese in sushi should be ILLEGAL. I want fish and rice and PERHAPS a crunchy veggie. If you want cream cheese with your sushi you are a COWARD and your bloodline is WEAK and you will not survive the winter
Realizing with horror that I ordered a roll with cream cheese in it without knowing. Time to hit it with wasabi ig
