Unbudgeted police overtime is also a main cause of New Orleans's budget crisis
Chicago spent more than $212 million on overtime for members of the Chicago Police Department in the first 10 months of 2025 — 6% more than the amount Mayor Brandon Johnson plans to set aside for police overtime in all of 2026, records show. https://to.wttw.com/49QGPU6
Chicago Spent $212M on Police Overtime So Far This Year, 6% More Than New Limit Set for 2026
Chicago Police Supt. Larry Snelling told the Chicago City Council on Nov. 5 that he was confident that CPD would be able to spend no more than $200 million on overtime in 2026.

I had to leave the thanksgiving party because of horrible heartburn (old) and the expensive medicine my boyfriend bought me fixed me immediately. I know what I'm on the lookout for this black Friday.

I ate an edible then wandered away from my boyfriend in an unfamiliar grocery store.

I had a really stupid idea for Christmas gifts that was somehow gonna be expensive too and now I have a much much stupider idea that will be much cheaper but also take time to make.

My boyfriend didn't think I would want to watch Pluribus because I didn't watch Breaking Bad and I had to be like uh my dad was a meth addict? Of course I didn't watch Breaking Bad?!

Re: The Louvre jewel heist

I forget to realize sometimes that most people don't follow art world news, so for those who don't?

"Lost painting/jewel/sculpture resurfaces!" isn't really that unusual a news story. And unless they're found, it's what'll probably what'll happen with the Louvre pieces.

It’s so unbelievably funny that “America First” is bailing out Argentina and giving Qatar an Air Force base in Idaho.

Like you cannot make this shit up man lmao

Football 😬

Getting drunk watching football for the first time this season and commenting about how cute all these players I don't know are.

I ended up with too many coals on the grill so after the corn and the chicken I did sweet peppers and cabbage and an onion and really anything that was around.

I've dropped the ball on like life stuff that I need to do for no reason other than sometimes I have a hard time leaving my house and I panic and do nothing.

Listen the world is awful but my friend group is planning a conclave on our annual October campout. It'll be the stupidest most ridiculous thing and I'm probably gonna make some elaborate robes.

My friends are gathering at the "after party" post a 5 years birthday and I'm in a real "don't want to ever leave my house" mood.

My minivan that hasn't run in months getting stolen by a person who then sold it to a scrap yard is actually funny sorry. Like bro now you got a warrant for stealing a 22yr old minivan that had a bum starter, a slipping transmission, and a busted out back window.

So far today at my bayou boyfriend's house I have seen: snowy egrets, little blue herons, ibises, Mississippi kites, Mexican whistling ducks, buzzards, and one great blue heron that came in for a landing so close (like 40ft-50ft from us!). Big water bird day for the water logged yard.

Lol it's actually so much worse 😅
Tonight a friend and I were in my backyard pop up pool and the oak tree in the lot behind split. A branch the thickness of my body slowly descended on my whole pool situation. We ran obvi but hopefully in the morning it doesn't look as dire as it seemed in the dark?

We're so in love we finish each others sentences 😍
