On tiny dog figurines found buried under a palace in Nineveh, Iraq are inscriptions that seem to be names.

"The cyclists arrive at sunrise, rolling through Chicago’s Latino neighborhoods and stopping at tamale carts, elote stands & candy stalls. They buy out every last item — every tamale, every corn cob, every bundle of sweets. Then they load up the food and deliver it to shelters and families in need."

Can you believe this is how we live now?
Chicago may experience less tear gas use as Operation Midway Blitz winds down. Cold and wet weather reduce effectiveness, while wind adds unpredictability.

It’s so funny to have read all of Joyce’s books in the 70’s and 80’s, and now I get to see her kicking rich assholes in the balls. She’s always been odd, but she has guts.
