6. Market being closed to cars is a godsend as a parent. My kiddo was walking up and running down the cobblestone on Pine St for 15 minutes just because it was fun. I got to chill and drink a coffee, great.
7. Pine St to at least Nordstrom needs to be pedestrianized. Sidewalks PACKED, road empty.

It so easy!!!!! He literally wrote you the script!!
DOW up 1200 on fake ceasefire not opening strait.
HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.
Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:
one of the things that has to change dramatically going forward is that congress needs to viciously retake their rightful first amongst equals status
Three right-wing talking points whose logic contradicts each other:
1. No voter ID means illegal immigrants are voting.
2. You need an ID to fly on a plane so you should need one to vote.
3. We need to send ICE to airports to arrest all the illegal immigrants flying on planes.
everything is more inconvenient and expensive, nothing works anymore, goons might invade your city and kidnap you or your neighbors, and there’s a loud asshole forcing you to pay attention to him at all times
Senators are more loyal to other senators *of either party* than they are to you or this country
I lived right above a brewery in Chicago. It was the best!!!

It’s only matter of time before we find out that Kash Patel has a CRAZY sports betting addiction.
So I’m wondering what more it would take for everyone to finally understand that, just like he was famously awful as a businessman, Trump is completely and thoroughly horrible at managing the economy? Other than turning off Fox News, I mean.
Well I guess I should move back now @anthelonious.bsky.social
An important lesson Target is about to learn:
1. Trust is extremely difficult to get back once lost.
2. When people move on they almost never come back.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still got all the text, calls and emails for Chicago and IL elections. I almost want to change my number. 😖

Anyone afraid or “taken aback” by that question is telling on themselves. The correct and immediate answer is “not that motherfucker”
As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.
