Reminds me of Juan Uribe's beer-soaked "I LOVE CHICAGO" 21 years ago. I love this team so much.

So grateful for Len Kasper to brilliantly paint the picture of my beloved Sox sweeping the 'Stros for old time's sake 21 years later. Go Sox.

Has anybody coined the White Sox Colson and Braden together as the Montgomery Ward?

I believe it was in Barcelona when I encountered escalators that were motion-activated. Simply stunning (and somewhat startling) to my uninitiated American brain. That's gotta save lots on energy costs.

Help me raise some money for my kids’ elementary school! Buy one of these large DRAW pins and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to their arts magnet school! Do it for the kids! www.harebraineddesign.com/collections/...
Black enamel pin with red type that says “DRAW” and white lettering underneath that says “To keep kids off generative AI” in the style of DARE program tees.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Absolutely am going to set up a family road trip to Dollywood, and if I have my way, her music will accompany us the entire way there & back again. Thanks for all you did for the world, Miss Parton.

Photos of watching Austin TV @subtchicago.bsky.social. Been quite awhile since I've been to a show that engaged and elicited such a response from the crowd. As loud as Mogwai with occasional mathiness of Shipping News.

Huh. Would you look at all that Canadian wildfire smoke in Chicago. It's almost like we live on one planet with each other and that political borders are for practical purposes, imaginary.
Hazy skies seen looking north from the Western Blue Line L stop in Chicago Smoke making it difficult to see skyscrapers in downtown Chicago

Anecdotally, on Facebook at the height of Covid, I got a trump supporter to agree that US PPE manufacturing should be handled in the US and that, to offset increased costs to the consumer, the US govt should subsidize production.
