"Failed to load blob" really kills my vibe. Like, why do basic features not work over here even now???

Spelling Bee will have me putting together words I didn't even know were words, vocabulary tucked way in the back of my brain.

Seville, Spain's Holy Week blends faith, tradition and spectacle Even as religious belief declines in Spain, the processions at Seville's Semana Santa — the Holy Week lead-up to Easter — draw crowds moved by music, tradition and powerful emotion.

Drivers Celebrate the Demise of the Most Hated Feature in Their Cars The stop-start feature helps lower emissions—and raises Americans’ aggravation. This year, haters found their champion in Trump.

The stop-start engine has become an annoyance to many American drivers, who argue that it makes driving feel unnatural, jerky and unenjoyable. The feature, designed to lower auto emissions, is set to be eliminated by the White House. on.wsj.com/41RaBT7

Congratulations to my former colleagues at the Investigative Project on Race and Equity and @injusticewatch.org on their nominations, too! I'm so happy to see them go on and continue doing this important work

Last May, I published an article in @prismreports.org about the challenges renters face when holding landlords accountable for source-of-income discrimination. Last week, that article was nominated for a Lisagor award from the Chicago Headline Club.

A nation that never has to pay Jeb Lund on war with Iran and war with Iran and war with Iran and Florida

Excited for the return of @mobute.bsky.social to Hell World with a striking and elegiac and wending piece about memory and education and mothers and war and Florida and California and the warring parts of both states and this entire warmongering country of ours.

"He burned to death at 5,000°F – a fire so hot his bones experienced thermal fracture,”... The lawsuit contends Sheehan could have survived the crash, if he had been able to open the doors and escape the blaze, which flared to temperatures hotter than most cremation ovens.

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

Took me longer than I care to admit to write a very simple email to my German teacher. I have a ways to go, for sure.

The Catholic Bishops Who Wrote a Scorching Brief Against Trump The president’s take on birthright citizenship doesn’t pass legal muster. To hear the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops tell it, it’s a moral affront as well.

The Fourteenth Amendment says this in no uncertain terms: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.” trib.al/bWFkA4u

While the war, domestic occupation, and child sex trafficking revelations occupy our attention, the Trump admin is still busy whitewashing history.

Last week I wrote about civil rights history disappearing from CBP’s website during Black History Month:

To me, this falls in line with some of the anti-higher education rhetoric and the overall disdain that the tech industry has toward history and humanities. If you do not value learning and you do not know how to research on your own, it's much easier to manipulate you into believing anything.

I'm thinking of one media company in particular, which has had a job posting on LinkedIn for at least a year or so but hasn't hired for it. What is the goal here? Why are you wasting people's time?

I'll vote for whichever candidate will fine employers for posting ghost jobs. If you're not planning to hire a candidate in the next six months for a role, why is lingering on LinkedIn for a year???

Racism, particularly anti-Black racism and the fear that Black Americans are getting more than someone else, is going to cost us all so much. Our way of life is hanging by a thin thread.

You're mad at the people for having...a snowball fight???

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

The fact JD Vance is trying to appeal to the Chicago Pope after sending masked ICE goons to attack his hometown of Chicago is frankly bonkers. Like you raided his town and you expect a warm response.

So to commemorate and protect a white womans regency , white men drank from the skills of one of the ancestors until 2015

White men draining the brain of a Black woman after her death is a lil big on the nose for me if I’m gonna be honest
