The Chicago Sun-Times’ 2025 summer reading fiasco, marked by AI-generated fabrications, isn’t merely editorial oversight—it’s the inevitable culmination of decades marked by staff cuts, digital desperation, and a gradual abandonment of the paper’s legacy of human-driven, streetwise journalism.

GenX. We're not just a forgotten group of 70s & 80s kids. But we're also the brand name of a group of fluorochemicals. FOREVER. 🧵 1/5

I love this quote relevant to the whole free airplane Qatar Trump debacle. "Saudi Arabia giving $25 million, Qatar, all of these countries. You talk about women and women's rights? So these are people that push gays off…buildings" —Trump, circa 2016, in his Clinton critique about taking ME $$$.
