Forgot alt text:
Early in his career, he was dispatched to a call at a public-housing complex where a woman’s boyfriend—“not even the father,” he said—jumped out a third-story window while holding a newborn.
“I still have some PTSD from that,” he said. “I get nightmares.”

I wonder how the woman who watched her boyfriend jump out a window holding her newborn felt? I wonder what mental health treatment she's receiving.
Who cares, though, let's all weep for the cop that had to respond to the call.

Spend a couple of days in Jalisco and you'll see similar. I met so many people who used to live in Chicago and now own bars, restaurants, shops, etc. (and everyone who hadn't personally lived in Chicago had a relative or friend who was either a current or former resident - it was wild!)

Great, another "Trump Supporters Support Trump" article. How interesting. How newsworthy. How essential.

Interesting point, but have you instead considered eating a bag of dicks?

This is the first festival in forever where I've heard of 95% of the bands. (note to organizers: this is not a good thing, as I am elderly)

Another article that fails to mention that the decline in birthrate is largely because of the reduction in teen pregnancies.

Happy to provide a list. Warning: it's "controversial" and also long.

"Talking to this guy is sometimes like listening to really rusty nails on a chalkboard", says the senior Trump administration official.
Um, granted, Elon is annoying and stupid, but does this "senior official" not realize that "nails on a chalkboard" refers to fingernails?

I think that's trouble. With a capital T and that rhymes with B and that stands for Brutalism.

Interesting justification, but, alternately, have you considered eating a bag of dicks?

Police say the man was pronounced dead at the scene after being struck by a Dodge Ram pickup truck in the 1100 block of S. DuSable LSD.
Illegal to drive a pickup truck on DLSD, no?

Yeah, also old enough to remember this bit; I just didn't think it still applied in the 21st century.

Wait a minute. You can't say "shit" on broadcast television at 11:00 at night? WTF? There's seriously a concern that there would be fines for this?
