As this hearing approaches, several of the ex-Broadview Six defendants have already arrived at the courthouse. Also, the court is handing out seating tickets for media. We're not expecting USA Boutros to be in court. I'll bring the hightlights here: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/10/01/b...

Mostly because they are on a script a lot for times, if you can get them off script by asking and giving examples, it's at least somewhat useful in like disarming.

I end up in a lot of conversations with antivaxxers online, and the best approach I've found is to take what they say at face value and try and push and examine it with them. Some people are very much trying to manipulate you, or make you into the fool to laugh at and score a victory over.

Nothing else seems to be getting through to the immutable mass of people who don't realize the crisis we are in. It's gross. It's paltry. It's not what we should be responding to, but it's all the media cares about.

It's hard because I loved YHF. It was the first album (that wasn't Weird Al) that I bought, and I played it obsessively. Summerteeth has so much more fun doing their sound scape thing though. I think ST is objectively the better album, but YHF somehow felt like it was made for that moment.

Intelligent people can also notice that a comparison to other use cases (especially essential to non essential) doesn't make a good argument, or help understand the scope of the impact on communities. I also really don't appreciate the condescending attitude.
