Can anybody vouch for this little pizza by the slice spot on ridge? I’m always making mental notes to try it but I never think of it when I’m hungry

@dieworkwear Curious how much of the $500 goes to the worker. Definitely a beautiful sweater to be cherished.

That said, I think you can appreciate something without wanting to own or purchase it. The price alone should not be reason for ridicule. Workers deserve fair pay, and even if you can't afford to buy something, you can appreciate that someone is laboring to keep a craft alive.

I am sick right now.

Mea culpa: I was way too complacent about Trump's political strength/durability. I really believed his appeal would largely be limited to MAGA, particularly after 1/6, his numerous serious crimes, a year of campaigning on overt authoritarian threats, and (especially) the Biden pro-labor/industrial policy agenda. Whether it's the trauma of covid and its aftermath, or something systemic about Dems on economy/immigration/cultural issues, or the info environment's inability to handle the Trump/MAGA disinfo challenge, or some combination of all those things, whatever happens in this election, it's pretty clear that this confidence was badly misplaced. If he wins, as now looks likely, it's gonna get ugly, I fear.

This is not an election map. It is just Illinois Counties. Putting it here for anyone who is stressed so they can just look at our great state. Take a moment to be happy you are here!

Some historical trivia: the 60% requirement for referendums in Florida was itself passed by a referendum that received less than 60% of the vote.
