I get so amped whenever I hear that song playing on some random like Horizon League basketball game on a Wednesday night.

I take great pleasure in knowing that my away message keeps ticking up when people keep responding all for a meeting that I am not attending.

Quentin Grimes being traded for Tim Hardaway, Jr. feels like all kinds of Knicks universes colliding.

It has been so long now, I’m unsure what is still open! But off the top of my head: Demera in Uptown, Ghareeb Nawaz and Udupi Palace on Devon, noon-o kebab in Albany Park, Kabul House in Evanston! What are some of your favorites??

I love the Museum of Surgical Science! And Garfield Park Conservatory! I also have a massive soft spot for Chicago Diner, especially since I lived near there for a few years. I could go on-and-on. Definitely a NY convert to Chicago!

The fancy, food-serving movie theater downtown also has a gift shop and, I swear, consumptive capitalism hates parents.

Thank you! It has been a year, so I’m extra excited—and I’m going for Moroccan food with my dissertation chair!

It is probably making you want to strategically align your face with your palm and right size the resulting synergies.

the cheapest tickets at Wrigley for a game between a last place team and a team at .500 are now apparently...$47. Yikes.

Week two of footy: 88 degrees and felt cooked after a half hour. Still somehow thought it was a good idea to dive for a header, missed by a foot and a half, and also missed an easy goal when I chipped it over the bar.

There was one walking around stalking a chicken in someone’s backyard here once and it was both amazing and horrifying to watch while driving past.

I miss, I really do. I love Scranton far more than I ever thought was possible, but the magic-factor (also felt this in Chicago!) just doesn’t happen here.

It’s what I miss most in living in a smaller area which also so wonderfully runs contrary to pre-conceived narratives!

Oh, how neat! Who was on the rosters? One of my best kid memories is meeting Daryl Dawkins there and even already being an obnoxious Knicks fan asking him what he thought about Bernard King’s 60.

just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out

The haftorah that I am chanting this week has our kid's name in it (not as a name, but just as a regular word) and I'm trying to think of the most fun and embarrassing thing to do when I get to that word.

10 year old just flipped off a car in our parking lot that has a bumper sticker comparing the end of Roe to the end of the Shoah and…we have taught him well.

Exactly! I kind of wince at the idea that this is the “end of the republic” vs. more of a continuity and the last half century or so the aberration.

As people note the normalization of autocracy and fascism, I’ll remind everyone of how “normalized” we have built the idea of Jim Crow and segregation into our sense of the past as just part of how life was rather than an oppressive non-democracy.

I went to wake up the ten year old relatively early for doc appointments this AM and when I went into the kids’ bedroom he simply said, “Out of Order: brain not working…” and frankly, same.
