I called my senators, but of course @durbin.senate.gov doesn't take messages. @duckworth.senate.gov is so much better but it's Sunday night and her office is closed.

For good or bad that is the most fascinating teaser for that show. (I've avoided learning anything about it so far, it's on the list to at least try.)

Yeah, iirc there are some existing train tracks that could be purchased for reasonable amounts of money and converted into new lines. If I were a billionaire who wanted to win unending love from the city...

So excited the CTA has a functional leader, after so many lost years and wasted opportunities under Dorval Carter.

Oh this is a very different Mr and Mrs Smith than I thought you meant 🙃

Amazing, thank you for that

Same! I think it's maybe bc I got it at 6:30 PM, so it was too soon for side effects the first night? Either way, it's hopefully already passing 🤞

(Hope yours was quick too!)

Thanks! Not sure why I always pick Moderna, unless it's a belief that the side effects mean it's more effective 😅

Glad to hear it passed quickly! Hopefully tomorrow I'll be fine—today I just feel tired, last night was chills so bad I had trouble sleeping for a while.

(I got the vaccine at 6:30 PM, which is maybe why it didn't hit the first night?)

Congratulations! You've done such incredible and valuable work -- this is so well deserved.
November 5, 2025 at 9:01 PM
Nice! Hope your side effects are as mild as I've had this time 😄
