"Human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: 'As well ask men what they think of stone.'"
This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
We should have a yearly parade to mark the day his name comes down. Make it a city holiday! Put another star on the flag.

Looking good, Lake Michigan.

Someday we will.

The media simply refused to describe the actual, real world stakes of the 2024 election. The Republican nominee was a demonstrable violent lunatic hell bent on revenge and that man was covered like a normal guy who would tame inflation.

I'm giving myself the gift of not watching the dumb guy give his dumb speech.
this is what I hear whenever I hear AI proponents hyped about their products
Episode IV IT WAS ALL SO STUPID Seriously, you would not believe how stupid it was. Every day, unrelentingly, just the dumbest stuff by the absolute worst people. And what made it worse was knowing that we'd brought this on ourselves.
Breweries are closing left and right in Chicago. This is not a good sign for our economy. blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/20/n...
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

It's easy to get to via bike or car, near a popular beach and harbor, and it's been home to some wildly popular birds.
Groundhog Day Blizzard was 15 years ago today, I rode that high a long time, good times on Lake Shore Drive
