Well I'm glad we got transit funding, but all the northside centric doomsday maps really pissed me off. What do you mean the CTA was going to keep the brown line, which at no point has a catchment area more than 2.5 Miles away from one on another line, but (1/2)

Every man in Chicago weighs either 125 or 250 lbs no matter how tall we are and we are all wearing at least one article of clothing that says “CHICAGO” on it at all times

I got an actual "Your silence on this subject is deafening" message this AM, so, super-quick: Nobody here owes anyone commentary about anything. This is a public park. It's full of interesting people. We hang out here, make friends, and chat, and then we leave to do whatever it is we do. That's it!

Statistically someone you love is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.
Chances are if you can’t think of anyone, it’s probably because they don’t feel safe telling you.
Consider this before making your jokes about the Epstein shit.

Married her yesterday.
I asked my girlfriend if there was anything she wanted from the store and the first thing she asked was, “how is our cheese situation.” I’m going to marry this woman.

This is nothing short of a failure of leadership.
If JB doesn’t like this bill he should not be letting the state house and senate fail like this, he should step in and fix it or get on board.

The House and the governor's office had five months to get on the same page regarding revenue, and clearly they failed to do so. How the heck do we have a legislative supermajority + a generally agreeable governor and still fall short?? Advocates have been hounding them for MONTHS. So frustrating.

The only exceptions to my YIMBYism are publicly-funded stadiums and casinos. So I was disappointed the other day as I walked by a sign in Times Square announcing a casino.
And relieved when I saw the project was dead.
