I’m no political analyst but I hope someone is exploring the idea that it’s not just politicians who can be bad and want bad things - plenty of of voters, despite what they may say they care about, are simply happy to suffer if it means the people they want hurt are being hurt a little worse

I will never recover from the years I spent working in media amid a totally deranged obsession with empathy for Trump voters who wanted nothing but to make other people suffer

I've been beaming about @thetriibe.com and @southsideweekly.bsky.social collaborating to cover the heck out Chicago's current debate about youth curfews and where/how young people view the restrictions on how they move in the city. It's been great. Support local journalism!

In fact, almost immediately after publishing, Cinema Chatham suddenly closed on the far south side. I discussed the loss of another theater on @wbez.org alongside @arionne.bsky.social. www.wbez.org/reset-with-s...

wbez.org

With Cinema Chatham shut down, only two movie theaters remain on the South Side

Even before Cinema Chatham unexpectedly closed last week, it was hard to find a movie theater on the South Side.

Gordon is not ok with this, and I’m not ok with it. This whole love triangle of Mia, Inc and Gordon gives me a gross feeling. And Mia is irritating me, because in what way is them doing this on camera benefiting the children?? This could hurt them #RHOP

These people ARE NOT thinking about the children, and it is sick! Mia has this man running around the children, Inc is swearing that Jeremiah is his son, and Gordon is dropping a new bomb of information every time he and Mia films. The children are not coming first! #RHOP
