If you liked that Ring commercial finding the doggo:
Now imagine instead of “Milo match” it says your name on a cop’s screen when you walk by.

Nearly all of Chicago’s movie theaters are on the north side. Even still, there has not been a fully operational movie theater within Chicago city limits north of Lawrence Avenue since August 18, 2023. https://bit.ly/3ZahBJN

The New 400 Theaters closed in 2023, leaving the far north side without a cinema. This year, new ownership will reopen the historic Rogers Park institution.

this is a 30 Rock bit that got cut for being “too boring”
New: CBS News seems to be preparing a new segment called "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil," per sources.
Some staff were only first made aware of it as they encountered CBS testing out set designs of a faux-stocked bar in the newsroom, featuring a large sponsor banner for Jack Daniels.

If the Tikvah Fund becomes the main representative of academic Jewish Studies in the United States, which is clearly what the US government wants, we will be telling queer and trans scholars that they have no place in Jewish Studies. And it will be a loss to all of us in the field.
