On the phone with my sister this morning as I walked into the capitol, I mentioned the larger than normal crowd. "Why are there so many people," she asked. "IT'S WEDNESDAY," I replied annoyedly, somehow thinking that should mean something to her. Session brain. #twill
Can anyone at @TheAtlantic explain why this story -- headlined "Democracy Dies Behind Paywalls" -- is behind a paywall? theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
I somehow chose to be involved in the two professions where hundreds of strangers cheer wildly if you lose your job: politics and journalism. I guess it's flattering that so many people are invested in the outcome of all of this 🫠
I'm starting to get questions... yes, I am still employed at @WBEZ, but *many* of my colleagues are being let go in a move that mirrors what I'm seeing at public media institutions across the country as news/listening habits continue shifting. Very difficult day today.
Me: Hi I tried to order online and got a technical error, the order didn't go through but I still got charged. Can I have a refund? @Starbucks online support: that didn't happen. Me: ... yes it did. @Starbucks : no it didn't. Okay then I guess? lol
lol... @Google's method for logging into accounts on my new phone: 2 Factor Authentication with a code sent to my old phone that won't turn on, or waiting 3-5 days for tech support. Texting a code to my phone number on file is not secure enough. Brilliant.
⚠ CAPITOL UPDATE: The Illinois Secretary of State Police has lifted the lockdown at the Illinois State Capitol Building. Thank you to our dedicated Illinois Secretary of State police officers for promptly ensuring safety for all. #ILSOS
⚠ NOTICE: The Illinois Secretary of State Police received notice of a threat involving the Illinois Capitol Building. Out of an abundance of caution, the Illinois Secretary of State Police issued a lockdown order and are currently conducting a sweep of the building.
Visible police presence outside the Illinois Capitol. They just told everyone outside to come in. Apparently someone called in a threat. No one seems particularly concerned inside the building, though.
The Illinois Capitol has been locked down for the last few minutes with a message circulating over the PA to shelter in place. Not sure what’s going on — anyone out in the halls or near the doors that saw what might have caused this?
How many people do you suppose are flown into @HSHSStJohns Hospital for treatment on a daily basis? The number of times I hear helicopters descending over my house every day is kind of astonishing (12+) and not at all what I expected (2-3).
Throughout the entire process — from submitting the info, to proofing, to making the sign, to installation — no one caught this. Absolutely amazing.

I am NOT getting choked up watching these Tom Skilling tributes, nope. Definitely not 😭
I’m mildly addicted to doing this, but with soup so I can quote @FamilyGuyonFOX What is this, snot soup?! It’s tomato bisque. …what is this, diarrhea soup!? It’s tomato bisque.

Good LORD. To be fair, CWLP rates are pretty low so this might bring them up to par with comparable municipally owned utilities. But it’s a pretty big ask to do that big of a hike in such a short timeframe.

“Do you (JR) leave here feeling better than when you came down?” “Well, my leg is bothering me.” “How’s your brain?” “My… brain? My brain…” “ITS FINE,”interrupts a man at JR’s side as he’s quickly shuttled onto the elevator. What a day.
