Here’s a bunch of weird and interesting stories I found from the 1930s Morning File by @timbousquet.bsky.social

I asked a trusted friend for a recommendation—and, y’all, after that single meal, I’m a convert. I’m ready to proclaim, in front of God and the whole internet, that there’s only one wiener worth devouring this summer.

love that the diet section of "eastern gray squirrel" has this extensive image gallery

My goal has been to make Illinois the best state to raise a family — that starts with kids having access to what they need so they can focus on learning and growing.   Illinois was among the first states to implement SUN Bucks, and this year is no exception.

Slovenia's President, Nataša Pirc Musar, "We are witnessing a genocide" "We are witnessing it, watching it, and we remain quiet" *very long clap followed by a standing ovation* "The inhumane treatment of civilians is something the international community should not look away from"

From: Rooty Toot Toot (1951), dir. John Hubley, UPA

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

There is a reason why working families are falling further and further behind. The cost of housing, health care and other basic necessities are rising much faster than wages. Learn about an excellent study from the Ludwig Institute.

66,000 tons of food are rotting away in USAID warehouses thanks to Trump and DOGE. That's enough food to feed more than a million people in the world's poorest countries for three months — including over 480,000 kids. In what world is starving children "efficient"?

Good morning !

Just reposting this which I think is the most gorgeous thing I have seen in my career - a critically endangered orange-bellied parrot feeding on a carpet of daisies after an ecological burn. This was the first time they’d had the chance to feed naturally in 15y and was wonderful to witness 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡

There is no hell deep enough to contain the people involved with this

Sotomayor’s support for the aggressive pro-democracy movement is so important at this critical time. She understands that while we must bring difficult cases and be willing to lose, we must always fight to win. And by lending her voice she affirmed that it is “our time to stand up and be heard.”

Illinoisans deserve dignity, privacy, and the freedom to live without fear of surveillance or discrimination. I'm issuing an Executive Order to safeguard the rights of those with autism in our state as Trump's administration threatens those very freedoms.

A new study shows that chimpanzees drum with regular rhythm when they beat on tree trunks.

Honestly, the tweets are impeccable today. My goodness.

I am unapologetically telling you right now that Chicago is going to be insufferable about this, there is still a fading cardboard John Paul II in a Michigan Ave storefront looking out at Grant Park because he spoke there *once.*

49 years ago, Madeline Kahn hosted SNL. Gilda as Baba Wawa, interviews Madeline as Marlene Dietrich. And a comedy masterclass ensues 😂

Conclave Selects First Chicago-Style Pope

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

It’s only right that the first American Pope is a #Chicago #southsider and #WhiteSox fan.

"Chicago Pope" is like a 1994 SNL sketch. Airs at 12:20am, the only gag is that Chris Farley has a mustache and is doing a big accent. David Spade and the guest host (Joe Mantegna) keep breaking during it.

These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

Shots fired, Neil.

Everyone in the past was neurotypical, which is how we got things like this single-author, eight-volume encyclopedia of ferns

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.
