I feel vindicated because I try to get my flu and covid shots in early September because I believe that the school year is when flu season really starts and I want to "buy low" rather than wait until the peak.

Now’s a good time for visiting cemeteries in early evening — while you still can. St. Boniface and Calvary will start closing earlier (5 instead of 7 p.m.) after Oct. 15. And I’m told Graceland will start closing earlier (4 instead of 6 p.m.) after Oct. 22.

The Lurie Garden in Millennium Park is finally mostly open! The water feature is functional again and lots of people were enjoying it.

A wooden boardwalk in a native plant garden that steps down to a shallow, narrow water feature. Several people sit along the edge. In the background is the Art Institute of Chicago Modern Wing with a newly installed artwork by Tony Cokes visible. The yellow installation on windows with red type reads “Let yourself be free” (from Aretha Franklin’s 1968 recording “Think”). Further is the southern side of the Chicago skyline along Michigan Ave. It’s a sunny, blue sky day with a few wispy clouds.

A fancy brown and white streaky bird with yellow legs and a very very long straight beak is strutting across some matted reeds at the edge of a lake. There are some cattails in the background. The bird looks totally confident and is striding with purpose.

I don't get it. If you find joy in feeding animals have some unshelled peanuts in your pocket and toss a few to chipmunks, squirrels or crows and enjoy the moment of communion with nature. Paying someone to do it in bulk is like paying a huge team to watch TV for you.

It is all a huge deal! Every little lie is another bit of the epistemic pollution that is a problem beyond the falsehoods being published. It coats and erodes the truth at the same time. How do we verify things when most of the information available will be produced by confabulation engines?

A screenshot from ProPublica. On the left is a data visualization with colored squares grouped by month, each one representing a US citizen detained by immigration forces. September 2025 is shown and labeled as the start of Operation Midway Blitz. On the right text says "During the enforcement surge in Chicago last fall, known as Operation Midway Blitz, there were “no administrative arrests of U.S. citizens,” according to the Department of Homeland Security. “ICE has significant protections in place to ensure U.S. citizens are not arrested, detained, or mistakenly removed.” But we found that federal agents detained more than 120 citizens in Illinois during the height of the surge."
