I’m going to come back to this one tomorrow, because it’s a good question and I think I will have some suggested reading for you.

Heard. But also: consider the possibility that you are wrong about it not applying to you. Maybe you are worthy, but you don’t have access to feeling it. Different problem.

Your work made me see this. Thank you.

"Our new research, published in the Journal of Social Psychology, suggests that some people consider it a “win” to lean in to known falsehoods."

Where leaning in = keeling over (Covid, measles, etc.).

Sir, a second completed novel has been reported. 🚀(Also, I'd love to hear what GR readers have to say about Shadow Ticket and One Battle After Another.)

Johnathan Rosenbaum saying “When I last spoke with Hat & Beard Press, the publisher of In Dreams Begin Responsibilities, they confirmed that Pynchon actually has a second completed novel in addition to the one that will arrive in October—Shadow Ticket.“

I just read Larry McMurtry singing the praises of lime Dr. Pepper, and am curious. Maybe it would be better than DC? Thanks for the warning.

OBAA has several movies tucked into it. BDT‘s performance is so assured and centered, like he stepped in from a whole world that he carries with him.

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

You know what, let's do the Annual Mister Global National Costume thread tonight after all. Usual rules apply - this is all in fun, this isn't about the contestants looks or making fun of them, it's about the costumes and appreciating them (or, you know, making fun of them...)

I know we should celebrate Tony Fitzpatrick for his Chicago art, but I'll always love his portrait of NYC's Flaco

Tony Fitzpatrick’s cover art for Steve Earle’s El Corazon album. A heart downward pierced by an arrow.

Hat Full of Sky @hatfullofsky.bsky.social · 4d

Oh, damn. Discovered him via his art for Steve Earle, and loved his style.

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

A vibrant collage by Tony Fitzpatrick features a peregrine falcon with architectural elements and bold text related to Chicago.
