Bally’s is mad that gambling addicts can now sit hunched over video slots at a local gas station for hours on end instead of traveling to their River West “entertainment complex”
39th Ward Alder Sam Nugent spotted heading into the Neighborhood Building Owners’ Alliance gala this evening, where she was called out by protesters for backing a plan to exempt more landlords from Chicago’s existing housing protections—while advocates fight to expand them
Former DHS, she has never had a town hall, barely replies to her constituents but has plenty of time to take corporate, real estate and machine cash. Total stooge who doesn’t even feign “getting things done” for the ward. Sleeper candidate for worst alderperson
How can he NOT be fired?
He said his direct boss and the woman who runs the network are “murdering” “60 Minutes” and aren’t qualified to do their jobs.
Like in what profession would he *not* be fired???
This annoys me deeply. Something about being so studied and "thoughtful" yet so shallow, empty and pointless at the same time. Not to mention the stench of tradwife all over it
coucou intimates’ nyc pop-up is such a good case study in cult brand building.
while waiting in line, you're handed strawberries and a coucou newspaper filled with spring reading recommendations and essays like bell hooks' “touching the earth.”
none of the clothes are meant to be taken off the racks. you place an order with someone carrying a tablet, and the pieces are brought to your fitting room in a woven basket.
every pop-up also has city-specific items and prints that only exist for that location.
while waiting for a fitting room, there are books by virginia woolf and joan didion on embroidered linen tablecloths to flip through, flower bookmarks to take home, and details that speak to a softer, romantic vision of femininity at every turn.
by checkout, you leave with a bag and two stems of pink peonies.
for a brand built around comfort and non-toxic natural materials like cotton, they're signaling a customer who values thoughtful living and slower forms of beauty.

One of the dumbest forms of hasbara is when they attempt to brag about a totally inane thing Israel “invented.” Have you ever used herb scissors? Thank an Israeli 😏
VIDEO | 'I wonder if everyone in Lebanon understands that every time they have a delicious bite of seedless watermelon ... they should say thank you [to Israel]'
US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told the people of Lebanon that they should be grateful for Israeli technological and agricultural innovations. Speaking at the Atlas Awards in Tel Aviv, Huckabee listed inventions like cell phones, USB drives, cherry tomatoes, and seedless watermelons, arguing that Lebanese citizens should cross the border to shake hands and thank Israelis rather than refusing to speak to them.
The remarks come amid an intense Israeli bombing campaign in Lebanon that local health officials state has killed over 3,000 people since March.
Huckabee, a staunch Christian Zionist, has previously affirmed his support for the concept of a "Greater Israel," stating it would be fine if Israel took over all of West Asia from the Nile to the Euphrates based on biblical texts.
The ambassador has additionally been a vocal proponent of the ongoing US-backed Israeli war against Iran, which has reached a strategic stalemate following Tehran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
