The @chicagotribune.com did back of the envelope math and conservatively found that Operation Midway Blitz cost the taxpayer $59 million. Good reporting from @danvock.bsky.social

Cost of Operation Midway Blitz: $59M and counting
A Tribune review of court filings, databases and other public records detailing the scope of the incursion and typical costs shows how much the federal government has spent since September.

Riffing on this: ridership data makes it clear that the CTA’s actual operating model is a high-frequency bus grid, supplemented by faster higher-capacity trains radiating out from downtown. CTA’s a bus operator that also happens to operate the ‘L’.
There’s still a classist view on the bus in Chicago. Which is a shame because buses go to places where there are no trains
Cities become so much better when we make the bus suck less; there are still many, many ways we can make the bus suck less; and as a whole we should be trying to make the things we already know how to do suck less instead of waiting/wishing/hoping for vaporware tech to save the day.

Folks, she brought a whole plate of spaghetti to the broadcast center to do her headshot. She then houses that spaghetti.

Per this #Peanuts special, Lucy is devastated that Grandma canceled her holiday visit... right after proudly hanging Christmas stockings for herself and Linus.
Meanwhile, Rerun is nowhere to be found.
My theory: Grandma didn’t cancel. She’s on the run for murdering the youngest Van Pelt.

There's a special place in hell for those responsible for the individual wrapping of candy canes.
My guess is they are related to the insane people involved with cheese stick wrapping.

This was my year in notebooks 📓
Back in January, I started an experiment: writing down my thoughts and notes, not in an app, but in a pocket notebook like Field Notes. You know, actual paper and ink. ✍️.

"You sound sweet, but you don't make sense.”
"Should we be worried about the kids in the audience?” - "Nah, it's all right. This is culture!”

Watching Christmas in Connecticut & realizing Barbara Stanwyck basically invented the influencer economy:
🔹Not an expert in what she claims
🔹Relies on others to make her brand look legit
🔹Entire career built on vibes and a platform she didn’t earn
Influencers today are just doing a 1945 reboot. 😜

@spudart.bsky.social Regarding the non-changing cannon of Christmas songs, I looked into this a few years ago. I think the answer relies heavily on the impact of World War II.

When I was a kid, my parents would hang these 1980s die-cut Peanuts Christmas decorations around our house 🏠. I’m keeping the tradition alive! ✨🎄

Since our youngest refuses to watch black‑and‑white films 🎞️, we sometimes have to set aside artistic integrity 🎨 for the sake of family harmony during the holidays 🎄.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
