The @chicagoreader.com is and has been consistently excellent. I really hope that they get the resources they need to continue for 50 more years. Why are rich progressives not funding local independent media? This piece is excellent and would only be written by a local outlet.

Anyway, if you are rich and live in Chicago, support @chicagoreader.com. If you are in the city and connected to $$, tell folks to send it their way. If you don't have a lot of money & live in the city, consider a $10 monthly donation.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Trump’s $1.776 billion slush fund for Jan 6 criminals is intended to generously reward the MAGA cultists most likely to commit violence on command for Donald Trump. This can’t lead anywhere good.

From a semantic perspective, I’m curious how a word like “scattered” (which feels ominous) might be switched to “continuous”. Both may be true. Their usage read differently (to me, anyways).
