Living in this fractured political moment, I’m just glad that we have bipartisan consensus that all problems at the VA can be solved with more paperwork.

That reddit meme about arguing with the guy whose main haunt is r/pissdrinkers is the default reality across all social media spaces. The main difference between bsky and reddit in this regard is that here you also know the guy who drinks piss has a terminal degree because it’s in the bio.

I keep seeing takes like this, but the story isn’t that Hannah-Jones avoided “upper crust” schools, it’s the fact she went out of her way to choose one of the lowest performing schools in New York City to make a political point.

I mean, the “low information, high engagement” voter is very much a thing on here when it comes to politics. It’s not exactly a stretch that such a type of person’s interaction with the world extends to other parts of their lives.

I need to superimpose a “Hate Has No Home Here” map with an “In This House We Believe…” map. Somehow they will be different.

Bluesky should save its flagging user base with a “if you loved the lesbian bar, it’s like that every day over here!” promotional campaign.

I was going to be critical of Nikole Hannah-Jones until people on here started calling her a Midwestern transplant. I am now bound by honor code to defend her as her strongest soldier.

Ok, I’m glad someone else had the same bewildered reaction to that (very good) book’s afterward. It was like “did you read the book that you wrote!?”

But yeah, as someone who’s going on 2-3 CPS tours/week for kindergarten admissions because our neighborhood school is a tire fire, I have A LOT off thoughts about that NHJ piece.

“My mother sabotaged my education in order to further her career as a public intellectual,” is going to make a hell of an essay to an elite college that still practices test-free admissions.

I have MANY opinions on Chicago Public schools, but my biggest statewide one is that referring to districts by number instead of location/name is really irritating, especially when done by the media.

the week of the MI senate primary, a group of river tubers on the Muskegon went missing for three days after they got in the water not realizing the river only flows in one direction and doesn’t just take you back to your car. They’re more representative of voters than anyone on here.

I know the story wasn’t covered well, but if lying about the level of contamination at the Brighton Park migrant camp wasn’t enough to make Johnson radioactive to progressives, what would be the line?

Feeling very vindicated in my prediction that this was always going to be “cool building, unimpressive museum.” Chicago probably shouldn’t have fumbled this thing, but at best we missed out on a Midwest version of the EMP/Museum of Pop Culture.

The lack of mountain biking here (without driving to Lemont) was one of the very few things that was a serious downgrade when I moved here from Philly. Of course that was 15 years ago and I’ve lost all technical ability on a bike since then.

Local media really need to stop treating Illinois Families for Public Schools as “nonpartisan” parents group. They’re funded by the CTU and Creswell, their founder and president, gave five thousand dollars to Brandon Johnson’s campaign last election.

Michigan synagogue attack was Hezbollah-inspired act of terrorism, FBI says

Prior to the attack, the suspect searched online for pro-Hezbollah news channels and for large gatherings of Israelis in Michigan, the FBI said on Monday.

Bluesky is reminiscent of that corner of Twitter that was still insisting that Jussie Smollett was attacked months after he claimed it. Only for some reason it’s the entirety of the British left and academia.

A central problem of the Brandon Johnson era is the fact that he surrounded himself with slogan chanters and froze out the people who do the boring logistical stuff, so of course you get a failure of things like #TreatmentNotTrauma because no one had dry SOP-drafting meetings with OEMC.
