Northwestern University admin accepting $35 million for the football program from MAGA donors Dick and Liz Uihlein while also shuttering the African Studies program and its 80-year-old history is a pretty good encapsulation of higher ed in the US.

"I was always taught never to say anything about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good." -- Jackie ‘Moms’ Mabley

Loretta Mary Aiken (March 19, 1897 – May 23, 1975), known by her stage name Moms Mabley, was an American stand-up comedian and actress. Mabley began her career on the theater stage in the 1920s and became a veteran entertainer of the Chitlin' Circuit of black vaudeville. Mabley later recorded comedy albums and appeared in films and on television programs.

She came out as a lesbian in 1921 at the age of twenty-seven, becoming one of the first openly gay comedians. During the 1920s and 1930s she appeared in androgynous clothing and recorded several "lesbian stand-up" routines.

In April 1939, Mabley became the first female comic to perform at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.

Hey Chicago, these are the people that are trying to buy the Parking Meter Deal that Richie stuck us with. It looks like the Finance Committee is meeting tomorrow, July 13 with the final vote scheduled for Weds the 15th. Contact your Alders, if you need an advocacy letter I have one for you.

Colombia fighting for a win on the world’s biggest stage while ICE rips through Colombian neighborhoods in Chicago all day. Same people, same flag, totally different realities. It’s hard to watch one without thinking about the other 🇨🇴

What we should do about it is invoke eminent domain, seize them and direct all collected monies to benefit the citizens of Chicago.

The silly little ritual of Supreme Court opinion days is a perfect illustration of the justices’ self-absorption. “We’re gonna decide cases but it’s a SURPRISE which ones, so just keep refreshing this browser tab to find out who still has civil rights!” Profoundly stupid institution. I loathe it.

This is the Tony Fitzpatrick Memorial Tree in Humboldt Park. May its roots grow deep and its branches long and strong to provide a safe haven for the birds of Humboldt Park and to the humans who hear their song and follow their flight. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. #HumboldtPark

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.

A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

The whole controversy over Bad Bunny boils down to the simple fact that extreme social conservatism is incapable of producing interesting and compelling art of any kind, and so its adherents must use inferior artists to try to convince themselves that they aren't out of touch.

It’s pretty fucking wild that the DOJ is releasing files that include accusations that the President of the United States raped underage girls, to distract from the fact that the DOJ is covering up murders of US citizens by their own government.
