About once a year, maybe once every two years, a document I'm working on in Microsoft Word just straight-up evaporates. No backups. nothing. Just gone. Maybe user error. Maybe ghosts in the machine. Maybe gremlins. but it definitely makes me want to scream.

Congratulations to the Chicago Tribune on its Pulitzer Prize win for local reporting. The country was able to see the impacts of the Trump Administration's chaos and violence during Operation Midway Blitz thanks to the hard work of local journalists. chicagotribune.com/2026/05/04/pul…

I have many friends in the SBC -- some of the best folks I know are in the SBC -- but this is a very dark story. There is just an enormous amount of evidence that the conservative resurgence (the origin the modern SBC) was led by a profoundly corrupt and abusive man.

NEW: Paul Pressler is among the most influential figures you may have never heard of. The onetime judge remade the Southern Baptist Convention, and helped forge the marriage between the GOP & white evangelicals — all while allegedly abusing for decades. A long look at his legacy:

Participated in Chicago's Doc10 film festival on a panel discussing a new film about @AdamKinzinger's attempts at justice after J6. The former GOP congressman got a standing ovation in a room full of (presumably) Democrats. Integrity is inspirational. Pass it on! @wearecmp

Research help! Trying to find info on the old Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, Ohio - specifically how Goodyear Atomic obtained fluorspar for their uranium enrichment and their relationship with Goodrich chemical plant in Henry, IL. This is a hail Mary, but anyone?

💚 I’ve had what doctors call a “small heart attack.” It possibly happened during one of my walks yesterday. In a moment, they will wheel me down to the cath lab for next procedures. I’m at peace with God and not worried. Physically, I’m in lots of pain from a variety of issues.

My two cents on the ppl-can't-afford-kids pieces is that this line about compromise is the most important line of the story. (I say this as somebody raising 2 small children in a 1200 sq foot apt.) For most people, "affording kids" means compromising on lifestyle. Your home doesn't feel as spacious as you'd like, you can't go to some weddings you're invited to, your vacations look different. It's usually not as simple as "if I have kids we'll starve to death." It's usually more like: "I like my lifestyle as it is, and I won't be able to afford to do the things I want to do." But it's only a compromise if you still want it. And for me, having kids changed what I wanted to do. Personally, I stopped caring about my home being pristine and spacious. I stopped wanting to travel and go out so much. Like, you couldn't pay me to fly to an acquaintance's wedding. And my kids are a get-out-of-jail free card for stuff I don't want to do anymore.

My kid and I wondered if we could reach across the elevator. When I tried it the elevator unexpectedly stopped and a guy witnessed this! Embarrassing! He graciously eased the awkwardness. He said 'No worries, I've wondered that too.' [Narrator: he had never wondered that too!]
