Someone shared an interior progress shot of the Thompson Center on Reddit. Just sharing here in case the OP deletes the original thread and photo. It looks like all of the upper office levels are enclosed, but the big atrium space will live on.

Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.

Happy Thanksgiving, Illinois.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone, from my family to yours. It's worth remembering that it was President Abraham Lincoln - Illinois' own - who issued his 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation during the darkest days of the Civil War. Lincoln called upon Americans to unite the divided nation through shared gratitude. The relevance of it in these troubling times is not lost on any of us. I take special pride in knowing that it was an Illinoisan, our greatest President, who established this holiday - reminding us that even in times of hardship and uncertainty, there is always room at the table for gratitude, reflection, and hope. God bless you, and may your Thanksgiving be filled with warmth, abundance, and the company of those you hold dear.

“Happy Friendsgiving Y’all!”

And that is the first recorded use of ‘Friendsgiving’ in print.

Larger media outlets have wavered since the first Trump term, but we've remained steadfast in our categorical rejection of MAGA in all its aspects and our affirmation of liberal democracy and the principles that it rests on.

In the second Trump term, we are growing: www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

Huh, turns out us humans really do shed our hair on a seasonal basis:

These results confirm the findings of former authors who have indicated seasonal changes in human hair growth, though this is the first study performed systematically in a representative number of women.

Ordinary people can now access a level of delusion previously available only to the rich
eliothiggins.bsky.social Eliot Higgins @eliothiggins.bsky.social · 8d
We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.
