Fuck, man. Does this mean Ken Griffin's coming back to Illinois?
CONFIRMED: Eileen Higgins, a Democrat, will be the new mayor of Miami.
She'll be the city's first Democratic mayor since the 1990s. She flipped the office from Republicans, and does so easily. She leads the DeSantis-endorsed Emilio González 59/41 right now with most ballots counted.

Decorating the house with sea monsters and pirate stuff for Christmas got voted down, but if my house is expected to cosplay every December, it might as well be something I like.

For three days in 1922, Hammond hosted a murder trial that captivated and confused the nation. Autoworker Frank McNally had accused his wife of killing their children and disposing of their bodies.
Twins or dolls? The ‘Sawdust Babies’ murder trial of 1922 spread confusion in Hammond.
Autoworker Frank McNally said his wife Hazel got away with killing their twin babies by concocting a story too ridiculous to doubt.

They didn't use my suggested hed of "Guise and Dolls," but this is freakin' amazing.

I'm a big fan of Frank Gehry so I'm very sad right now, but I also really hope they let him design his own tombstone.

I will never reach the pure bravery of Michael Palin and Terry Jones singing about ejaculate in front of a passel of children.

How much of this account is me keeping a paper trail that I wasn't in favor of whatever comes next? I'm a German shopkeeper in 1937 just writing "I don't like this I don't like this I don't like this" on repeat so my grandkids find it.

Dude, I don't even live in Chicago. I'm in the suburbs, so this is basically the equivalent of telling me I'll never get over an ex. Fuck.

I wonder if anyone would read a comic book about an actual leftist superhero. Not that "villain with good motives" trope, no pro-establishment Batman figure saying he sees their point but they have to work within the system. Like an ongoing comic book about an activist with superpowers.

Somewhere, a rubber duck sits alone, tears streaming down her face. "He told me *I* was the one."

So where can one pick up a bunch of print copies of next Sunday's Chicago Tribune? I ask for... reasons.

I think about this every time I hear about "White Christmas," both my late father's favorite holiday tradition and a musical from the goddamn 1950s that has a song about how great minstrel shows were.
1. No entertainment is ethically pure
2. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S WRONG TO DISCUSS THE ETHICS IN ENTERTAINMENT
3. I don't care that it was gam-gam and pop-pop's favorite movie
4. We can't erase embarrassing or evil pop culture
5. But we also don't have to give it cookies or diminish its evil
