faded red white and blue poster of Uncle Sam carrying a hoe and a rifle, in front of him is a marching clock with a gun and a hoe. The words say "Saving Daylight! Set the clock ahead one hour and win the war! Mobilize an extra hour of daylight and help win the war. United Cigar Stores Company"

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.
Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.
Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.
No human should experience war. Period.
I’ve had to tell so many parents that their sons & daughters were dead, had been murdered. Their screams, their silences, their faces, their collapses, cling to me like cobwebs I can’t ever shake.
Our leaders, so callous with death as games or memes or brags, know nothing of grief, only of greed.
Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.
Help save the fabulous Chicago Stock Exchange Trading Room that the Art Institute of Chicago wants to demolish for a new building. Dedicated architects and philanthropists spent years and more than a million dollars to reconstruct it at the Art Institute. Sign the petition c.org/L5GJtwLRTM
I'm hardly the first to point this out but: This is why it's absurd and deeply cruel and cynical that dental insurance is not included in health insurance
Your dental health is directly related to your physical health and, yes, can be fatal if untreated
The Chicago Stock Exchange itself should never have been demolished. This exquisite room is one of the few vestiges of it that remain, & it is absolutely outrageous that it should be endangered again.
Architects: Adler & Sullivan, 1894
Demolished: 1972
Reconstruction Architects: Vinci & Kenny, 1977
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
I will be so sad if my favorite room in the ENTIRE art institute goes away :(

I cannot believe the Art Institute cares so little for something so precious. It's a magical space. It's Chicago history. Shame on you @artinstitutechi.bsky.social

They're going to have nukes in a week.
They interfered in the 2020 and 2024 Elections.
They have ballistic missiles.
Their leaders were killing their citizens.
They've been at war with us for 47 years.
Yeah, keep talking...

Map of 1893 World's Fair area. Blue line the new path they are going to pave, which is not a restoration of anything. Orange circles the Darrow Bridge during the fair, still broken. Bright green shows the bridges to Wooded Island during the fair.
And now my pet peeve--getting the 1893 World's Fair wrong. The Music Hall was near the Court of Honor so they apparently are calling the Palace of Fine Arts a Music Hall? And the way onto Wooded Island was from the east. THERE WAS NO PATH. This is not in any sense a restoration. /end
And the timing is smart--the desire lines grew because of the Cherry Trees which will probably start doing their thing in a month. So, they will tear up and block the path just in time for Hanami. MSI is desperate to connect to the OPC from the get go, so new path cutting through the trees. 2/n
Because no one could get CDOT to care about the Darrow Bridge, they are spending 1.2 million to pave "desire lines" from the east parking. It's not "restoration" if it never existed. Also no $ to fix the Nancy Hayes Bridge, that desperately needs it. 1/n blockclubchicago.org/2026/03/02/j...

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.
If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?
Collage of 12 photos of lions and lambs (and sheep and rams, oh, my!) made of stone and terra cotta, which adorn buildings in Chicago.
Coming in like a lamb so far
I totally remember the episode, not from 1958, but from 40 years ago. She was BRILLIANT.
The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.
Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity
