My life story
Should have told me this before I played Pentiment and picked the know-it-all background, I always clicked on the dialogue it gave me because it was ~*~unique content~*~ and it made everyone hate me

If your home is too dry just get some house plants
Humidifiers are bacteria swamps and microplastic vaporizers please do not use them just drink more water you’ll be better off

The thing is - an American traffic engineer will tell you are roads are safer than any others. Wider, straighter, smoother = safer, as far as road building theory in the U.S. holds
Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

We can and should ignore the Supreme Court. Marbury v. Madison was wrongly decided and even if it wasn't the court and every subsequent appointee has been illegitimate since Scalia died and McConnell refused to let the vacancy be filled.
I think we should simply ignore the Supreme Court on this and consider prosecuting them for seditious conspiracy if they don't get in line.
even if the Supreme Court says we can never touch Trump for any of this shit, the next admin should go after everyone involved in buying and selling pardons and they should do it loudly and aggressively

It really bums me out that Illinois hasn't made more of a deal of being the origin of Cahokia. It should be a cornerstone of our identity, alongside Lincoln and World's Fair/Sandberg Chicagoan energy.

I think we can all agree that the greatest civilizations have built pyramids:

The Egyptians
The Nubians
The Mesoamericans

And of course, the greatest of all:

The Illinoisans

Beautiful winter woods outside Chicago. Like bike lanes, the woods are still a good place to be in winter.

I know Bluesky loves to celebrate this stuff, but uh, you guys aren’t going to love the stuff that’s replacing the churches.

I have an upcoming episode of my podcast all about Prohibition, and something I did not realize about the amendment banning alcohol (which was a nativist Protestant fundamentalist project its core) was it was instrumental in disgusting most of the country into creating the New Deal coalition.

"For all the boots of the tramping warriors
and all the garments rolled in blood
shall be burned as fuel for the fire.
For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders,
and he is named
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
