What’s more Chicago right now than handing off 200 whistles in a Portillos bag.

Been seeing this photo a lot today, and it’s never not made me feel a little better. Such a great shot of joy.

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate!

In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

This was the clip that put Mamdani on the national stage, and it should be a lesson to every Democrat planning to run for office. Get your ass on the front lines before you ask for our votes.

Zohran Mamdani was the first mayoral candidate and Democratic official to stand up to the Trump administration over the arrest and disappearance of Mahmoud Khalil, which he saw as a violation of the First Amendment.

Man, do you know what rules? Actually loving other people, reminding us that we deserve a government that cares for us, and inspiring us to meet our neighbors.

this is very funny, but to be earnest for a moment: the same guys setting $10M on fire here are the ones who can’t stand the idea of buses being free, of rent being affordable, of anything at all being easier for all the people for whom $10M would be an unimaginably transformative amount of money

Bedford Falls businessman Henry F. Potter has endorsed Andrew Cuomo in the NYC Mayoral race.

Mr. Potter from It’s A Wonderful Life looking, as always, as though he is grumpily smelling the worst fart of the 20th century, while also being grumpily proud to have issued it.

A thing to know about me is that I will always, always stop and watch anything with Jim Henson in it.

Absolutely mind-boggling decision when people like Lex have made Teen Vogue a must-read

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · 2d

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I had thought I’d dress up as a plague doctor to hand out candy, but the day before Halloween, I was informed that the mask wouldn’t ship until next week, so in a panic, I ordered something I could get in time. And thus, Renaissance Duck was born. Hatched. Whatever.

Honeywell discovered that electronic mail was a vengeful spirit living within emergent computer technology that only a corporation skilled in the dark arts - such as Honeywell - could possibly subdue and, when broken, make subservient to other lords of business for a fee...

Vintage ad for Honeywell electronic mail, showing a photo of sparkly energy bursting from a stunned office-worker's desk top.

"What the heck is Electronic Mail?

Electronic Mail is a term that's been bandied about data processing circles for years.

Simply put, it means high speed information transportation.

One of the most advanced methods is terminals talking to one another.

Your mailbox is the terminal on your desk. Punch a key and today's correspondence and messages are displayed instantly.

Need to notify people immediately of a fast-breaking development Have your messages delivered to their terminal mailboxes electronically, across the hall or around the world.

Electronic Mail is document distribution that's more timely, accurate and flexible than traditional methods.

There's no mountain of paperwork.

Administrative personnel are more effective.

Managers have access to more up to date information. Decision-making is easier.

Tomorrow's automated office will clearly include Electronic Mail. But like the rest of the Office of the Future, it's available at Honeywell today.

For more information call Mr. Laure Reeves at (800) 225
3229/3 (within the 617 area, call 552-2048) Or write him at Honeywell Office Automation Systems, Three Newton Executive Park Drive, Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts 02162.
