Best day of the year, @Cubs. #OpeningDay

Listening to a baseball game from a radio broadcast is underrated

@chisportsross If this somehow actually gets done, they should name it *Brownfield Stadium* in honor of the century of toxic industrial waste in & around the area. I wonder too how the belching refinery and (remaining) steel operations smoke would look during a 4k NFL broadcast wide shot?

@MLB @Cubs @Topps Ernie Banks, Mr. Cub! #LetsPlay2

Mr. Cub homered 512 times across 19 seasons, all with the @Cubs. His statue stands outside of Wrigley Field and his No. 14 flag flies inside. Repost and reply for a chance to win this Ernie Banks @Topps card!

@DianeSwonk @DianeSwonk I always appreciate your objective analysis. Thank you for bringing clarity and sharing your insights all year long!

Whacky CPI data. Good news is it cooled to a 2.7% gain from a year ago. However, data collection didn’t begin until Nov 14, while much of data for October was “carried forward” at September levels. This was also true for imputation in November. That tends to zero out a change of up or down in any given data point within the series. In September, 40% of the data was imputed. We do not yet have the imputed figures for November. Suffice it to say, we should take the data with a grain of salt, much like was true with the employment data. We should getting a better read on both employment and inflation in the data for December. This is really hard losing so much data and the staff that calculates it.

@PopBase Love this!

HAPPY ANTHONY RIZZO DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE!

@WatchMarquee Seiya Suzuki hit 25 home runs before the All-Star break, but just TWO (2) home runs since, on July 18th and August 6th. Power just fell off a cliff since his All-Star Game snub. 🤷‍♂️

Yo, I don't want another mine along my shores. Call your representatives and voice your concerns about the Copperwood mine. Someone has to speak for the water.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story. This is not a time to fall back into the reflexive crouch that I so often see, where the authoritarian creep by this administration is ignored in favor of some horse race piece on who will be helped politically by the president's actions.  Donald Trump wants to use the military to occupy a U.S. City, punish his dissidents and score political points. If this were happening in any other country, we would have no trouble calling it what it is a dangerous power grab.

it’s been a day.
