If you're tired of seeing that viral post, or discourse, or feel your awareness is sufficiently raised on a particular topic, go to:

Settings -> Moderation -> Muted words & tags

And set a 1 week (or more) moratorium on keywords. Most run their course in a week or less.

You deserve a break today.

There’s a great liquor store somewhere along 65 from Chicago which we have stopped at, but the 65 landmark you’ll hear about is this sign -

It is high summer in Chicago. The front wall of every bar is fully opened onto the street, like we’re Southern California or something. Breathe deep, the burning Canada.
Photo from the street of the Globe Pub in Chicago. The upper front face is completely open to the street. The sun is shining. The birds are singing. The traffic is a low pleasant presence. Club beats waft into the street. Haze wafts back in return.

My daughter gasped audibly when she spotted this at the Half Price Books near the house - she left the price tag on it to show the amazing deal she got -
Outside of the Stephen R. Biesty Incredible Cross-Section Collection, navy blue with a swath of illustration from the book on the Man of War. The price tag in the upper corner is modified in sharpie to read $99,999,939.99. Next to it in white pen is scribbled "wow!! what a deal!" spines of the books included in the Biesty cross-sections box set: Man-of-War, Castle, incredible cross-sections, more incredible cross-sections, incredible cross-sections of everything, incredible body cross-sections, and posters

Not a bun - a squirrel huddling under a wooden bench next to a little free library in a wood bounded mulch patch, choosing his moment to bolt for the near by tree

Riding the train back into the city - this usually holds transit newsletters - today it’s a library book and reading glasses.
