Few shots in film can match the look Eddie Murphy gives the camera in Trading Places when the Duke brothers explain bacon to him

Today suburban legislators celebrated state transit reform and funding legislation. NITA creates "a single, coordinated regional authority. We are breaking down the barriers between Metra, Pace and CTA" said state Rep. Mary Beth Canty, D-Arlington Heights.

Shout out to the neighbors who have both Biss and Kat for Congress yard signs. In a normal race I'd assume it is a divided household. But in IL-09 it seems possible they just like both candidates.

I understand that defunding ICE might require a supermajority to get around a presidential veto, and that removing their masks and making them wear badges might be more achievable near-ish term….

But Jesus f’n Christ these people have no imaginations. Leading with compromise is the path to failure.
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

Breathless coverage of one person injured, not killed, on a CTA train, vs. a brief on Page 9 when two people are killed on the road. That’s because road death happens ALL THE TIME - 3 1/2 road fatalities per day in Illinois.
It looks like the number of transit riders killed this year is one …

BBQ Turkey leg can be pretty tasty.

I'll add something else to the turkey discourse. So many spices exist+ takes on preparing it. Some people deep fry it.
Not my favorite meat ever but I like it.

I'm a year-round fan of turkey. But more importantly, I think it is super gauche to complain about the inferiority of the food served on a holiday specifically centered on gratitude, on giving thanks for what you have, when so many will not be feasting in a warm home alongside friends or family.

The IRS has determined it to cost $0.70/mile to drive, and the IRS usually has a good idea of what it costs to do something. That’s before parking costs.
The misconception that driving is free for individuals (not to mention society), is very prevalent and very silly
i wonder how much of Americans' views on driving vs. transit would change if they had to pay for gas/insurance/etc every time they turned on the engine

"i'm not paying $5 to take the train to work twice a day when i can just drive" is a genuine opinion held by so many people
