The war zone last night in Chicago as I walked a mile home from a job. This is a fountain in the middle of Gold Coast's shopping and dining area. The park, triangular in shape, bordered by Rush and State St is officially "Mariano Park" but insiders have always called it "Viagra Triangle".

Beautiful fountain near a coffee shop and inside a park with lovely tables and chairs. It's very Parisian.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @marcmaron.bsky.social in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode.

We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America.

Never known for my silence. Don’t care if I’m put on mute! Silence is Complicity. Trump FIRED the ENTIRE Staff in the USED Office for Special Ed Programs! No Accountability means 7 Million Students will Suffer More! PLEASE FIND YOUR VOICES (202) 224-3121 youtu.be/L-JQ1q-13Ek?... go.bsky.app/SE6AQHv

Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either.

George Stephanopoulos is the type of energy I listen to. JD Vance wants to spin a bribe as a Democratic rabbit hole. This whole regime is a criminal enterprise.

Excellent, that’s how their gaslighting bullshit needs to be handled.

Dearest Beatrice,
I write you from the front lines of war-torn Chicago. I fear I may have to put on Sun block here even though it’s mid-October and I fear the drug stores may have already taken sunblock off the shelves. I fear I may be burned if I attend a rooftop bar.
Yours,
Beauregard

just talked to Gov. Pritzker who dared President Trump to “come and get me” after POTUS threatened him with arrest. But Pritzker said he thinks Trump will chicken out.
