Yes, "The Pope" Donn Pall will be involved in tomorrow's Pope Hat Night at the Rate. Last year, I talked to Pall after Pope Leo came into our lives.

Chicago’s relevance or prominence seems to have peaked in the 90s/00s. Why? It’s a mix of factors. Some were simply beyond anyone’s control, things naturally age out: the Bulls, John Hughes films, Oprah, Springer, even Obama's rise, moments/phenomenons pass. One of the biggest factors, though, was local leadership. Mayor Richard M. Daley was an aggressive booster who took promoting and running the city quite personally, it showed in the development and civic momentum during those years. The population grew for the first time in 50 years. Daley seemed to seize every opportunity that arose, even if he didn't get everything right. Some of that momentum carried into Rahm Emanuel's administration, its totally gone now with the shambolic Lightfoot and Johnson mayorships. Also, Rising crime numbers during pro-crime State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s tenure contributed to a perception that Chicago was less hospitable to residents and businesses, shootings and lootings were regular headlines. Economically, while Chicago remains a major financial center, it didn't emerge from the GFC with the same renewed momentum as NYC, and it never captured the scale of the VC and startup boom that transformed the Bay Area. Chicago seems to be coasting on past momentum, and momentum decays unless new energy is continually applied. @david_perell
@ErikLambert1 Just remember the bears will go from being the most popular football team in Illinois to being 4th most popular football team in Indiana. Teams 1-3 have all won championships more recently.
This is the prick that canceled #Stargate from what I understand. Shocker he came from Netflix and worked on rings of power, fallout and the boys. He wanted a broader audience. In My opinion he just destroyed Stargate forever. I won't be watch anything this toad green lights.

"Spouses who don’t share a surname divorce at about a 50% higher rate than those who do share a surname, and their divorces come about 30% earlier in their marriages." Striking new divorce research from @lymanstoneky reinforces my earlier research on marital quality & naming:
