Bro, the Pope sent the White Sox letter, they’re going to the World Series.
Letter: 

To Jerry Reinsdorf
Chairman of the Chicago White Sox
was pleased to receive the kind letter that you sent following the game that took place at Rate Field on August 11, 2026. I am most grateful for this thoughtful gesture.
As I have noted,
"sport can truly become a school of life,
where all can learn that abundance does not come from victory at any cost, but from sharing, from respecting others and from the joy of walking together" (Letter Life in Abundance, 6 February
2026).
In this spirit, it is my hope that the White Sox will
continue to foster
bonds of friendship
and solidarity among
people, and thus bear hopeful witness to the possibility of living and working together in peace.
With
these sentiments, I willingly invoke the Almighty's
abundant blessings upon you and your loved ones.
From the Vatican, 9 September 2026
Pope Leo XIV

I. M. Pei famously got the commission for the JFK Presidential Library and Museum over Louis Kahn because Pei filled his office with fresh cut flower arrangements on the day of his interview with Jacqueline Onassis. Jackie took offense at the "unfortunate" cigar stubs littering Kahn's office.

I feel like all the media attention on that homeless encampment in Metro Detroit is not gonna end up going well for the people in the encampment. The city where they are will feel embarrassed into “doing something” & that rarely seems to involve ppl getting housed in these cases. Just displacement

Ode to Street Fighter II Bonus Stage
Text: 

Ode to Street Fighter II Bonus Stage

I wanted to destroy with nothing 
more than the power I possess 
as a living body an ostentatious 
display of wealth, to dent the parts 
and loosen the planes until they drift 
off and blink into nothing 
and all that's left is a chewed-up frame 
indistinguishable in its utilitarian 
slump, and my breathing self my 
shoulders my bare feet breathing 
alive and worth nothing but points 
with no value to anyone other than me

This handsome midcentury auto shop, severely neglected along with the many once-expensive cars that filled the property, is now gone. The building was recently torn down by the Village of Calumet Park as part of an economic development play, and a drive-thru Jimmy John's is being built on the site.

Earlier this week the kitten learned that occasionally there’s a few molecules of wet food left in empty cans. We have been treated to random metal can sounds throughout the week as a result. The cans are in the recycling where they’re supposed to be but that doesn’t stop him
