Just remembering last year’s turkey

Here’s what it looks like right now. There must be some openings because when I walked by the front there was a live pidgeon inside one of the closed store fronts.

I believe this is going to be torn down soon for apartments, but it’s been mostly vacant for decades and before that a restaurant. Not sure what it was before 4751 N Milwaukee Ave Chicago, IL 60630

Why would I get off the Blue Line at Rosemont and transfer to a bus to get to O’Hare?

You can see my feelings about the shared post in the comments, where I pointed out some - but not all - of the problems with this medical story. But now the person who uncritically shared it - do I unfollow them for what I see as a lapse in judgement? Curating your feed is important work people

We did a mission trip there b4 Covid, meeting real people working to make things better in spite of the geopolitics going on. Outside the tourist and UNESCO areas things aren’t great but it’s a beautiful country

Somewhere in the last several months we started paying for about 20% less toilet paper.

I read “interlocutor” as “interocitor” and now I want to watch MST3K “This Island Earth”

Medicare Advantage can be an option for seniors IF it's offered in the county where you live. We found that even if you have the option this year, next year it could go away. My deep dive with @nonatc.bsky.social for @modernhealthcare.bsky.social www.modernhealthcare.com/insurance/mh...

With the state of the jobs market on everyone's mind, I did a deep dive into healthcare employment last year. There's winners and losers, and some sectors not winning as much as they used to. www.modernhealthcare.com/labor/health...

What's your #comicsdna? The comics and books that were formative to you. At least four, but I could have done more

Love and Rockets #4. This is the series that brought me back to comics when I discovered their books back in the early 80s

Corto Maltese after being outsmarted - ironically of course - once again

Spiderman the animated series because honestly it was hard to get comics when I was growing due to the whole Comics Code thing that my parents totally bought into

Peanuts, but I read the entire comics page

The connection to poverty and test scores is well established of course. What we did differently is figure out a way to visualize it over time.
