The annual pumpkin display at the entrance of Governor Pritzker’s personal residence on Astor Street. He is the pumpkin king. Illinois produces the most pumpkins, including canned, than any other state in the U.S., twice as many as the next five states combined.

What is common knowledge in your field but shocks outsiders?

30+ years into the climate regime, climate action to date has been woefully insufficient to address the climate crisis (and it's still getting worse)

not sure if this is humblebrag or simply brag, but I just did a 30-minute interview with a journalist from @franceculture.fr in French and was surprised by how well it went (not perfectly, but entirely comprehensibly); I don't know where this comes from given that sadly I never use French these days
