They should, but also, these are photos of people committing crimes. Can anything be done in the meantime to bring them to justice locally?

Generational labels continue to subtract meaning from every conversation they pop up in. I am seeing a viral post encouraging "gen X" to get check ups, and a quote post chiming in "elder millennials too."

So, middle-aged people.

Simply imagining these things in your head like people reading and writing fanfic do would produce a better result than that ugly nonsense.

I was lucky to see Namir Smallwood in two more Steppenwolf productions last season. He is a star!

Tracy Letts wrote Bug in response to the OKC bombing.

It remained relevant when it was revived at Steppenwolf in early 2020. By the time I saw the post-vaccine remount in '21, it seemed to be speaking directly to the current moment.

I suspect this 30 year-old play will hit even harder now.

Good point. They're closer than Alaska, where a lot of people root for Seattle teams.

This was more in my childhood, but the infrastructure I remember, taped together by phone books and directory assistance:
pay phones, businesses that would let you use their landline, certain businesses taking taking calls for customers, calling people at their work landline...

Because some of them are actually really stupid and their lies are defensive and short-sighted. This is one of those cases. It looks bad to admit Homan is a crook, but he is too fucking dumb to come up with a good answer or distraction.

Jamil, the man who could not simply read about attachment styles, and share his perspective on them if he didn't feel like IDing as one?

How are people missing that? This seems like a very obvious point that gen-AI critics would generally agree on.

While this is going on here, ICE has been spotted on foot + in vehicles across SW + NW sides of Chicago. Can't verify reports rn, but also presuming suburbs. Yesterday was brutal. It's not lost on us they have more agents free for weekend kidnappings now with their facility secured by state police.

This is one of the photos circulating in some of the Pilsen and Little Village pages. An abandoned tamale cart near Chase on Damen in Pilsen. 💔

A tamale cart is seen on a sidewalk next to a parked car and a parking lot.

A handful of masked feds have come out. ISP greets them with handshakes as they chat.

Pritzker says "if you come for my people, you come through me," but his cops will arrest anyone who tries to inconvenience or disrupt the brownshirts terrorizing and abducting his people with impunity.

shawn @mulchy.bsky.social · 4d

moments ago, state + local charged the crowd outside the broadview ice detention center and detained three people.

it happened after someone tried to cross a street that isp has blocked off.

after the arrests, a state trooper warned the crowd that anyone in the street would be arrested.
