i'm sure this will all work out fine

Mendoza’s campaign has hired a chief of content who co-founded a local creator hub called Renowned, while Giannoulias’ campaign is currently advertising a $6,500-a-month new media manager role for someone with “a phone full of Chicago creators” at their fingertips.

“This is the first municipal election cycle in Chicago where we’re seeing content creators be relied upon so heavily to communicate with voters,” said Joanna Klonsky, a local media strategist.

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

With the full term becoming vacant I’m pretty sure it’ll trigger a special election in 2028 for the balance of the term (like what happened for Comptroller in 2016) but whoever JB appoints will almost undoubtedly win that special as the incumbent.

Very possible that 97% of the term is served out by neither candidate but whomever Pritzker wants to appoint next year You get the illusion of a democratic choice… but Alexi’s ambitions mean you don’t really get a choice here

Chicago Landlord disparages the entire profession of lawyers in service of opposing Chicago’s PRO and gets retweet from local lawyer John Heiderscheidt who seemingly agrees with that assessment Not everyone can have such a noble and righteous career like ““housing provider””, i guess /s

“Fundamentally PRO has been about making a new housing hustle.
For industries like lawyers, it about creating
more conflict and getting paid.
For "inspection style" industries it is about making more money to point out trivial issues and getting paid.
These are extraction..and make housing more expensive.”

If you haven’t yet, I highly recommend reciting the lines staring at yourself in the mirror with 100% earnest because that line in particular feels so funny to end on, like you’re just stalling for time during your own mantra.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.
