Again, I am begging the White Sox to bring Stephen Nelson home.
Doing an event with Miguel Rojas today in Claremont. On the heels of him hitting one of the biggest home runs in Dodgers history-a game-tying home run in the 9th inning of Game 7 of the World Series. Views from the booth… #ITFDB #BoothViews

We have a journalistic consensus about the goddamned fascist traitors' invasion of Chicago.
If you grew up in this area, this list of names will quite clearly resonate with you. If you didn't, picture every important news person from your hometown coming together to speak up.

I was just talking at dinner last night about how much I weirdly share with the Pope (despite my being Jewish).
Then I see this. If I ever get an audience at the Vatican, I will ask him "did you get me my cheez wiz, boy?"

Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Almost completely, every single problem with higher education that folks think is mainly about something else is <primarily> about the massive decline in state public funding since the 1980s. Yes, including everyone's obsession with getting their kid into the "right" college:

Say what you will about this government, it is consistent about wanting to kill kids.
40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion
