@ClubhouseCancer I think the sleeve depends on whether the player bats left or right. They want the patch facing the CF camera. I’ve noticed other teams do that, too.

Congratulations to newly inducted Pro Football Hall of Famer Steve McMichael. One of my prized childhood possessions is this autograph I got from him in 1987 when he visited my hometown Peru Mall! #TeamMongo 🐻

We applaud Illinois for its landmark legislation supporting local news with an employment tax credit for current reporters and new hires. The state is committing $25 million over 5 years to for-profit and nonprofit newsrooms!

Anyone in Springfield have a print copy of today’s Sun-Times I can have when you’re done with it? We’re having trouble finding a copy today.

Following up: We ended up with 55 in-person votes today — 49 of them pulled Republican. A long day, but it’s gratifying to assist democracy. Sangamon County could use your help for the next election, which is sure to be busier. Contact your county clerk to sign up to be a judge.

I’m election judging in Auburn. 3:15 p.m. check-in from our precinct: 31 voters - 29 of them pulled Republican ballots. 1 same-day registration voter. No real contested races for elected office on the Dem ballot here. Just one contested office (13th Congressional) for the GOP.

Former @UISedu Chancellor Susan Koch, right, is at Carver-Hawkeye Arena tonight to watch Caitlin Clark break the NCAA all-time women’s scoring record.

@brendenmoore13 @cole_Henke @WTAX I liked the part when Dave called Cole a “savage” for having you talk politics on Christmas Eve. 😂

Thank you to The Storyteller Studios' Josh Hester for visiting my @uisedu Intro to Mass Media course this week to talk about marketing through video. We watched many examples of effective storytelling, including this one about downed power lines. https://t.co/0z9KQ24H70

Reporters' job is to ask questions and officials' duty is to answer them.

Calumet City, IL, officials should withdraw the citations against @DailySouthtown's reporter @hanksanders_ and stop hampering newsgathering and the public's right to know.

[Jason Piscia @jasonpiscia]

I imagine the number of journalists’ questions will only increase from here. // Calumet City officials ticket Daily Southtown reporter for ‘hampering’ city employees with questions. https://t.co/LVrOmGU8tN

I’m surprised how often I see this misspelling.

Tell me you attend a school in Springfield, Illinois, without telling me you attend a school in Springfield, Illinois. On next week’s lunch menu …

A helicopter that appears to have taken off from Edinburg has been flying low over Chatham for the last 45 minutes or so. Storm damage assessments?
