Moon off Rogers Park.

Photo of 3/4 waning gibbous Moon over Lake Michigan at night, with a vine-covered fence in the foreground. Lake water shifts from green, lit by streetlights, to deep blue. Sky is dark, with a few stars visible. A mångata (reflection of moonlight on water) centers the image and connects water to sky.

I assume Clayton Kershaw is being punished by God because he again didn't do something heterosexually enough. That's on him.

Thanks! I have long rooted for the Blue Jays because of former Cub Joe Carter . . .

It’s great to watch your well-informed and knowledgeable baseball fan joy here. As a Cubs fan, I can only be jealous.

I don’t think diagonal streets on their own encouraged this sort of industrial development, but such developments happened further out from city center in general.

I have a friend who owns a restaurant. He says tourism and travel to DC in recent months has devastated many restaurants in DC. So, yes, Trump is lying. Again.

Trump: "You can go and eat at the restaurants. The restaurants are booming. They were closing one after another and now they're booming, they're opening. Nobody has ever seen a transformation like they have in Washington DC. It's as hot as it can get."

My favorite thing about baseball is its unparalleled literary history.
My second-favorite thing about baseball is how failure is the norm and nobody can succeed through force of will.
My third-favorite thing about baseball is this:

Rogers Park moon.

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

As the Supreme Court term begins, keep this framework in mind: Autocratic Legalism.

Instead of “rule of law” (law constrains the power), we get “rule by law” (law as a weapon for power).

Authoritarians usually have to install allies. Trump started his second term with that step already complete.

The only effective opposition is through the language of morality and documented harm—not legal technicalities that can be swept away with a 6–3 vote.” The text is centered on a neutral background, with “morality” and “documented harm” slightly emphasized to underscore the moral and empirical contrast with “legal technicalities.”
