@Itchy535 @mattyglesias Big LOL at the idea that anyone is imposing anything on Christopher Nolan’s creative direction

@mattyglesias How to you feel about imposed diversity quotas for movies, even period pieces?

For "Dunkirk," Christopher Nolan had his costume department make fabric from scratch to match the period-appropriate texture of WW2 uniforms. If he gives characters historically inauthentic armor, he is making choices not being lazy. slowboring.com/p/a-diverse-od…

@ChicagoPiping Any report on whether LOPeY and the unbanded Lady have been , shall we say, observing each other ?

It's Your Daily Imani+!☀️ Friday, May 15, 2026 Imani, Sea Rocket, the unbanded female, and LOPeY have been reported at Montrose today. Pippin continues in Waukegan. 📸: Phil Stosberg (unbanded female, Montrose Beach, May 2026)

@BumrahBachi The resume is objectively funny too, dude put his twitter threads on it!

This drama is absurd lmao. p4 is a very fun account and some of the people/tweets criticizing him are by much much worse people who were waiting to bandwagon. I don't think posting an accessible resume is a bad thing unless the counterparty was anonymous.

@tracewoodgrains @DeepDishEnjoyer Cmon manhe put his twitter threads on his resume, thats objectively funny

@DeepDishEnjoyer yeah, don't play dumb, man. now it's on Twitter because you want to circulate it to 127k people and counting to sneer at him about it. context makes a difference, y'know?

one succinct observation is that nicholas decker thinks his experience is worthy of a two-page resume

@LPDonovan Every state can perfectly gerrymander if you drop the convention (no law or rule mandates) that districts be contiguous. Real Q - must they be geographic?. Who says floors 30+ of manhattan skyscrapers can get their own district? Or can we assign people to districs directly?

Has anybody run the numbers on a mutually maximalist map if every state with the balance of power and legal framework for partisan redistricting did so?

@mattlindner Sun is giving false hope , Its kinda cold today

It's sunny out, life's short, go get some air guys.

@ChicagoPiping Montrose beach has been a piping plover motel this spring

It's Your Daily Imani+!☀️ Saturday, May 9, 2026 Imani, Sea Rocket and 2 plovers TBD have been reported at Montrose today. The dune vegetation is high, making leg band spotting challenging. Pippin continues in Waukegan. 📸: Jordan Anderson (Imani, Montrose Beach, May 2, 2026)

@chrisalbon @conorsen Hahahahaha get off the coasts, Chicago gets its water from the giant fucking lake it sits next to and everyone knows it

SF is the only city I’ve been in where people know where their water comes from.

@CubsBilly @PJ_Mooney I got fired up just reading this

@PJ_Mooney Thornton got the call at midnight, AAA to Wrigley, 9 months since his last pitch in the MLB - torn Achilles last summer Seattle. Steps in 10th inning, 6-6, two on. 6 pitches, DP, ground out > we walk it off. Counsell isn't kidding when he says it's somebody different every night.

Another 10-game winning streak highlights the Cubs’ next-man-up mentality during this historic start to the season: “It feels like I’m living a dream.” nytimes.com/athletic/72650…

@HistoryBoomer In person cards gambling (and similar like craps) is inherently social. Its the only form of gambling that should be allowed.

I'm a weird guy to be anti-gambling! I play poker a lot! But I see what gambling can do. Some people get destroyed. And that's just in-person gambling. Millions of young men can now carry around a casino in their pocket. Algorithms designed by experts to empty wallets. Read on:

@DOM_Frederic Same place of birth, same attitude as Bad News. Don’t give up , keep grinding, and make it happen.

not that it hasnt been said, but shout out to this guy. it was publicly embarrassing the watch him totally fall off the end of 2025 & become unpitchable. hes come all the way back. just a tough dude who has always grinded through outings. a goddamn cub

@ChicagoPiping Is that many plovers on one beach allowed per fire code?

It's Your Daily Imani+!☀️ Tuesday, May 5, 2026 Imani, Sea Rocket, a banded female plover that arrived May 4 PM, and 3 additional plovers have been reported at Montrose today. 📸: Chicago Piping Plovers (Can you find the 4 plovers in this picture?, Montrose Beach, May 5, 2026)

@JesseSA555 @adamscochran Hantavirus mortality is over 50%

Hantavirus is incredibly deadly. One of the only reasons that we don't have an issue with it, is we've never seen any outbreaks manage to evolve human-to-human transmission before. It's always been rodent-to-human contact. If we have H2H in Hantavirus that ship needs to be stranded at sea until every, single, person is cleared. Because that would make the previous pandemic look like childs play.

@ChicagoPiping Did Blue Band move on?

It's Your Daily Imani+!☀️ Monday, May 4, 2026 Imani has been reported at Montrose today and Pippin in Waukegan. 📸: Janet Pellegrini (Imani making a scrape, Montrose Protected Beach, May 3, 2026)

@66cjg @OptaSTATS Well the cubs have directly contributed to both san diegos and arizonas current losing streak

@OptaSTATS quirk of interleague play and the new more balanced schedule, methinks. same reason why every team in NL Central has a winning record...

Current streaks in the NL West: Giants: lost 5 Dodgers: lost 4 Padres: lost 4 Diamondbacks: lost 3 Rockies: lost 3 This is the first time in MLB history every team in a division was on a 3+ game losing streak at the end of a given day.

@DougBright1 @rf121rf @bonchieredstate Trump told us they were obliterated man, nobodys an expert here we just listened to the guy who said rhey were obliterated

@rf121rf @bonchieredstate Internet infectious disease experts during COVID. Constitutional legal eagles during impeachments, and nuclear proliferation scholars now. They’re all here. A confederacy of dunces.

Republicans aren’t going to win a narrative battle over gas prices by arguing they were higher under Biden in 2021. They have to come down. That’s it. That’s the only political solution.

@AlexNoonan6 You can do it but you gotta invest in a heavy , free standing tank with a heavy lid. Your cats will love the new entertainment! OTOH getting a 10 gallon countertop tank with a screen top is , literally , putting fish in a barrel for your cats

I wanna get into fish tanking but I fear my cats will ruin it

@ChicagoMag @Eric_Erins Correct, overhands and obstructed views are good, actually. There is a reason Wrigley can turn into a thunderdome

There is one great flaw that is present in almost every ballpark of the retro era: They’ve pushed us farther away from the game. Take a look at how three ballpark enthusiasts imagine a new White Sox stadium: chicagomag.com/city-life/a-mo…

@DOM_Frederic He knew he was hitting a grand slam when the pitch left the pitchers hand . Lay em down and smack em yack em. Cubs in 4.

I dont do this a lot but just pencil ballesteros in as the real deal at the plate. hes hit everywhere he has been & when you’re leg kicking like dontrelle willis in the box, sending 4 run homers to new mexico, as a 22 yr old, yeah you know what you’re doing. hitters just hit

@GmaBoomBoom @CivokNilam @FlipChicagoRed Correct, hence the CTU ‘advice’ exposed in the original tweet

@CivokNilam @FlipChicagoRed So isn’t this an illegal strike?? Teachers can protest on their own time

NEW: In an email to all Chicago Public Schools teachers, CPS CEO Dr. Macquline King wrote: "Any supplemental materials on civic engagement must be approved by school leadership. Please submit these materials to your school principal for review and approval as soon as possible. No supplemental material may be implemented until the principal reviews and approves. Keep in mind that content presented to students must be neutral in nature, providing diverse perspectives, and cannot advance any particular viewpoint." That means the official May Day training provided by CPS teachers, including David Stieber and Kirstin Roberts whose X profile reads "Socialism or Bust", must be approved by principals before it can be implemented. As a reminder, full coverage of the training and proposed curriculum, which includes teaching children as young as 3 years old about political issues, was reported by @NAVIvalues and can be found here: x.com/NAVIvalues/sta… Resources shared by CTU with all teachers: docs.google.com/document/u/1/d…
