For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed. Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void. This is why we must fix the system.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Per Bears PR: Caleb Williams is the first Bears QB since at least 1991 to have multiple games with 2+ passing touchdowns of 35+ yards in a single half. The last NFL QB to do it was Lamar Jackson in 2023.

I get "freedom = cars" in so many places but to me, a New Yorker, having a car seems so stifling. You have to figure out where to park, how to get gas, how to get home if you have 3 beers. What's actually freeing is being able to walk places and having trains that run wherever I want to go

This bears repeating. The whole, ‘good for your immune system’ rhetoric is nonsense generally, but it’s PARTICULARLY dangerous when it comes to measles 👇

Screenshot:

Recovering from measles does not protect against cancer or any other disease besides measles. In fact, a measles infection has the ability to wipe out immune responses built up against other infections— a phenomenon called immune amnesia, driven by the destruction of memory T- and B-cells. This leaves people who recover from the measles virus more vulnerable to all other germs.

PSA to the NCAA tournament selection committee - 1) stop seeding the MVC champ as a double -digit seed. 2) The notion that the SEC deserved 14 teams in the field and the MVC only 1 reeks of bias, corruption, & poor basketball intellect. Bradley should be in the field this year.

The Bears announced that C Doug Kramer has been re-signed to a one-year contract. It's unfortunate that his 2024 was defined by the fumble and penalty in Minnesota — he provided some nice depth, but those two plays hurt. Will likely enter 2025 as one of the players competing for a roster spot.

a basset hound sits on a carpeted floor and looks at the camera impatiently. he is holding his empty metal food bowl in his mouth and staring directly at you, so he’s really making his demands quite clear. his jowl flaps up along the edge of the bowl on one side. there’s a little extra white fur around his face and at the tips of his ears because he’s a senior pup.
