@jimonlight Thanks brotha. Hope all is well!

@Cernovich @PaulDEaton52 I had to look you up...turns out you are not relevant.

[Merle Mixell @merlemixell]

@JeanDLaValette @w_terrence IQ. Not IiQ. The fact that you misspelled it sort of defeats your point.

@LavenderBlueMom @PauletteParis1 @dlowther715 @RadioFreeTom Wow. Thank you for that second guess!

Since we’re looking for ridiculous places to move the Chicago Bears, can we just move them back to Decatur?! All in on #DecaturChicagoBears

My buddy’s kid was pretty excited last night!

Did my dad help you on September 11, 2001? If so, I'm trying to find you. (a thread)

On September 11th, 2001 my dad caught a flight in Ohio to fly home to Denver. He was there on business and was anxious to get home to see his family. (1/11)

Good read... especially if you happen to have something in your eye.

Iris, my elderly, NBA-loving neighbor, died last week. I wrote one last story about her. We'll miss her so much: https://t.co/lvvE9RFxYY

@KevinGutzman @zoquento @davidharsanyi Well, I think it could have a positive effect on WV, where they struggle in nearly all categories. WV is not exactly a positive argument against an increased min wage. Try living anywhere for < $24K/Yr.

@JohnFugelsang That's awesome...Couple of years ago, I had one too.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

The news hits deep. And to the core. John Lewis dead. Can it really be? He had strength, courage, and heart enough for many lifetimes. We were young once. So many memories. So much distance traveled. So much further to go. Farewell my friend. We shall overcome someday.

This took me a while to write, going with my first-hand experiences working some of the most violent and impoverished areas of Chicago.

But I'd loot too.

@AnalisaTro @modgirlreporter Guessing they all just agreed with Nolan and now they are going to risk the budget, the timeline, and the already tarnished DPS61 reputation to achieve the unachievable.

This George Floyd issue has triggered my anxiety disorder. In May 2005, I was driving through my old neighborhood in my truck (which had tented windows) and Raymond Felton was a passenger. In my rearview, i notice a cop following me. I'm on the phone with my mom & she says"Cont'd

The man on the left is Larry Edgeworth. I met him as the sound tech on our team that covered the Romney campaign in 2012. He called me “slim,” and helped me put together my first resume tape. He was SO proud of his kids. He was hilarious. Yesterday he lost his fight with COVID-19

@Summerson @jareddipane Cool. Thanks. Assuming it's jammed up.
