Here’s how @teslatakedown.com Northbrook #6 turned out.

Copies I distributed today have a typo and some crashing text, both of which are fixed in these pics and the scan available in my bio. Looks like I might need more printer ink, too.

And yes, the mid-November weather in northern Cook County is quite warm.

Once again, we can see that the Tesla Service vehicle is a Ford Sprinter van.

Cybertrucks must not have good hauling capacity or storage options.

Heading out now with TTN#6 in hand.

In addition, Pearson, Madda, and Raphael (2023) characterize the debate around the science of reading as "manufactured" in their chapter, "Current Issues and Best Practices in Literacy Instruction."

For some reason, the Action Network site is being fussy with letting me log in to make an event.

Nevertheless, #teslatakedown Northbrook returns this Saturday as part of the No Trillionaires Day of Action.

Sat., Nov. 15th
12PM-2PM
1200 Skokie Blvd
Northbrook, IL 60062

It’s all Newsome this, Pritzker that.

I’ll tell you what I want.

I WANT OUT

This filing choice does seem of a piece with Dewey’s perspective on the world, though. At least, according to what I know from this utterly devastating Judith Flanders’ footnote in her book “A Place for Everything: The Curious History of Alphabetical Order.”

In my review, I mention how I noticed McKinney’s book was filed under 296.3 at the library where I checked it out. This is a section on Judaism, specifically “Theology, ethics, views of social issues.” This choice baffles me and has some awful implications…

This sign, though. Wow. Takes the cake. Saving it for last because it is so powerful. A message that resonates throughout time (and the halls of this nation’s schools). This is what youth outreach looks like.

Laughed harder at this one than any others. Not even kidding!

Saw a couple variations on this sign (including one with an actual chancla) but only managed to take this one photo.

Michael Myers came up from Haddonfield to give this public service announcement.

This sign is possibly the only good thing to result from “The Life of a Showgirl.”

In a roundabout way, this is a Jane Austen sign…

This callback to The Oregon Trail is a little too real…

This one was a sandwich board. Didn’t get to see the front.

Couple few other cool signs too.

Saw a few of @rotanen.bsky.social‘s signs during the rally, too.

Wrote a quick message on the b-side of my sign this morning.

Props to the other dude there with the same slogan on his sign. Some people took pictures of us together but I didn’t think to have anyone use my phone for them. Glad he sought me out so we could take the pic.

Headed home on the L from Chicago’s #nokings protest & march. Incredible amount of people there. Tribune headline estimates 100,000 and that may be correct.

Last Sunday, I took part in @katmabu.bsky.social‘s poster-making party at @raygunsite.com in Andersonville. Glad to have a huge sign to carry!

The real meaning of ‘Shotime’ is when you get one of the Showtime Lakers to reveal why everyone calls him ‘Magic.’
October 18, 2025 at 3:09 AM
Yes, exactly. “Knowing isn’t being” is it.

Reminds me of a favorite post from the other site.

Man, I was thinking of getting this shirt today as a way to tongue-in-cheek show my ambivalent/negative feelings toward OSU football.

Now they’ve made it clear The Buckeyes ARE The Dark Side.

Thinking of going as a basic bro for Halloween.
