[Pastes in both seasons of Detroiters, which is a documentary]
Please share YouTube links to the most regionally specific representations of where and when you grew up. Like… local sandwich shop commercials. Footage of amateur theater productions. Hyper regional news stories. I wanna see it all.

George Carlin, our lovable Mr. Conductor.
I think everybody has a “Wallace Shawn from Young Sheldon” — my first one would probably be “Vincent Price, the guy who did the voice of Ratigan in The Great Mouse Detective”

Downstate folks upset about the share of funding that’d go to NE Illinois in the latest iteration of the transit bill, consider this: about 845,000 people rode CTA on an average day in 2024. That’s more than the population of every county in the state except Cook and DuPage.

The best taster was this guy, an academic whose comments were either a) ”With this dish, you have made food, which I have eaten,” or b) “I have tasted the essence of the ancients and you have revealed a narrative continuity worthy of praise, this is very good.”

this is maybe my favorite dunk anyone has ever done on Duke

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Longshot, I know, but if anyone in Chicago has leads on a good job for a seasoned higher education professional with experience in non-profit administration, I could really use the connection. Also definitely open to remote work.

And not to be dramatic, but it’s never a bad thing to have a non-abstract sense of the murderous lengths American corporate and governmental power structures will go to in order protect themselves. None of this is ancient history.

I think I’d be fine if Michigan came out for the second and kneeled it out until the final whistle. Would certainly fit their level of interest in winning this game.
