@metraBNSF Will you update on which trains will be departing Union Station this afternoon and when? Specifically wondering if BNSF No. 1233 at 2:33 p.m. will still run.

Former President Donald Trump is more likely to be seen as a “patriot” but also “weird” in a new Ipsos poll of seven swing states, while Vice President Kamala Harris is more likely to be seen as “moral” and “intelligent.” https://t.co/fMcWGQPRdZ

@NWSChicago Significant tree damage this morning localized to the block north and south of Riverside-Brookfield High School (Ridgewood Road, just west of First Avenue in Riverside).

@rumormill I own an original (actual vintage) version of this shirt, which referred to them as the 1985 NFC champions. It’s the way they did it on at least some apparel, it seems. https://t.co/GAyl8HdR3F

@dieworkwear Banana Republic has been selling sweaters that they tout as being recycled Italian yarn. Any insights on quality and/or sustainability of these? Bought one that I’ve enjoyed wearing.

A thread of election-night scenarios and Vote By Mail breakdown to consider as voting continues for the Runoff:

Roughly half of Americans (49%) support bank bailouts, according to a new @Reuters / Ipsos poll fielded after the failure of two banks last weekend. That's up 12 percentage points since 2012, driven largely by increased support from Republicans. https://t.co/4Khxx2A0Mc

A phone call today:

Best friend: Are you busy at the moment?
Me: Not at the moment.
BF: I'm putting you on speaker. Explain to everyone why Election Day as a national holiday is a bad idea.

And I did. And they were convinced.

@mollyfleck It’s a pain but I’ve found that parking in Lot F with my own car and my own car seats was close enough to the cost of ride-hailing that it made the most sense (plus, not worrying about rando drivers).

It was sooooo much easier when I lived next to the (then-reliable) Blue.

You probably saw some Super Bowl ads and maybe even read someone’s hot takes on them. But we have hard data showing which ones were actually the best, and why.

[Ipsos US @ipsosus]

Ipsos used actual research to test the best ads of the Super Bowl, and found one that was the best of the best: PopCorners' Breaking Bad ad was the best of the past three Super Bowls, according to our data.

Learn why here and see seven other winning ads: https://t.co/MYLbopI9xn

The main difference 14 years ago: Bruce Springsteen talking smack about Ticketmaster. Today: The Boss is defending Ticketmaster. https://t.co/gO9DkSFF17

"It seems to be monopolistic, plain and simple," is what I quoted @SenSchumer as saying about Ticketmaster and Live Nation … in a Senate hearing 14 years ago
