Job interview fit for today!

This is *fantastic* news! I think Jenks would make a fantastic council member.

It's amazing the difference a good shower makes.

Thanks to these three guys--who brought folding chairs to have lunch in the Dicks parking lot--for giving me a new aspiration for retirement.

I think one problem that exists in the discourse is Dems want to run someone who is popular nationally, but few people who have the profile to run for president are also free of baggage. Obama's rise, skill, and charisma was generational, but we keep trying to replicate it.

Wearing flannel and ripping down fence boards is good for the ol' mental health.

I did not realize at the start of this week how much joy I would get from Chicago Pope.

Pritzker and AOC (in different ways) seem to be best at this so far. Pritzker is very clearly using the governorship to do lots of press conferences and break into national media.

Already a new pope-mobile in the U District.

"God loves everyone", build bridges, people of peace, seek peace and justice, thanks Pope Francis... Good start.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

As the Trump Administration, Congress, and Supreme Court cross red line after red line, people’s trust in government is reaching new lows. Now is the time for the Council to be inspiring trust with its constituents, not rolling back our own ethics laws.

Road diet renovation on 130th is go! I love when they refinish streets this way.

6yo today came home from school and announced he would like to bring pop tarts to the upcoming multicultural potluck at school.

ICYMI yesterday--I'm teaching some online film classes this summer with @cinejourneys.bsky.social . I'd love to have you! Only $65 for a 5-week course cinejourneys.com/guides/matth...

Paging @pitchingninja.bsky.social for the last pitch of the Mariners-Red Sox game. Expelliarmus!

Based on social media, Pete Buttegieg is clearly running in '28 and is already campaigning. AOC might be, but I think may just be organizing because she believes in the movement. I don't think anyone else is actively campaigning. Mayor Pete is everywhere, and has a wilderness/elder millennial beard.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Do more "performative politics" please
