Rogers Park moon.

Just after Full Moon, over Lake Michigan, with mångata on the water. Clouds on horizon, leafy fall foliage in foreground.

This is one of the rare times in Illinois politics when you could call for the governor to be jailed and be incorrect.

The President of the United States is calling for the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois to be jailed.

100% it reeks of capitalism brain. taylor was never beating those allegations but the charli ppl seem to be in more denial about it

taylor and charli both seems pretty intent on appealing to the tastes of 20 somethings and i simply have to ask why so many popular artists, regardless of taste and style, are afraid of being grown ups

RIP Kaleb Horton

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

More filmmakers should spend exorbitant amounts of corporate money to make anti-fascist action comedies based on subplots from Pynchon novels.
