@wjk1971 Ah yes, Vallas “eliminated waste from special education,” which has famously always been so overflowing with resources.

@filming_chicago That’s right by Alice’s, and they were recently casting for karaoke patrons. Please include their karaoke DJ who plays along with the blow-up saxophone 🤞

Ok, sk where does Paul Vallas’s broom live?

The @SomebodyPod podcast details the murder of Courtney Copeland, who arrived wounded at a Chicago police station. What happened next is unclear, but Copeland died in handcuffs.

Copeland’s mother’s work prompted an OIG report, and now, @chicagosmayor is blocking its release.

[The Intercept @theintercept]

The only OIG reports Chicago has released during Mayor @LoriLightfoot’s administration deal with issues that arose under the previous administration, while reports of great immediate interest to the public have been withheld. https://t.co/rmc9whhCvn

SO THE BAND YOU HEAR IN THE MOVIE IS ACTUALLY LETTERS TO CLEO BUT THE ACTRESSES WHO PLAY THE PUSSYCATS REALLY SELL IT. THE REVIEWS WERE LUKEWARM BECAUSE THE SOCIAL COMMENTARY WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME IN A LOT OF WAYS. ALSO TARA REID GIVES HER BEST PERFORMANCE!

We call this “hose water”

[Jane Austen First Drafts @Austen1stDrafts]

Everyone at @edfringe needs to see The Funny Thing About Death @GreensideVenue! It’s got comedy AND drama. Someone really should think of a portmanteau for that.

@rosamund @harmonopoly This is all true, but also, what monster ruins a fresh peach by burying it in a smoothie?
