Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

Wow, a 2025 study found you could connect Craigslist entering a city with a decline in local newspaper staffing, leading to a decline in politics coverage, which in turn led to a decline in readership, which they connect to more partisan voting and extreme candidates.

@sonik0909 Do you enjoy spending time this way? Engaging with people you’ve never met for a debate that won’t change your mind? If you died tomorrow, would you have considered this a good use of your time on earth?

[Tal Rosenberg @talrosenberg]

I agree. Please give all your money back to the alt-weeklies whose business models you single-handedly destroyed.

Here’s a playlist I made of all the OG samples on Resurrection available on streaming. Nowadays I probably listen to this even more than the album itself. https://t.co/f7Bty6pqNK

[Tal Rosenberg @talrosenberg]

For Pitchfork’s Sunday Review I wrote about Common’s Resurrection. I love the way I do it can’t nobody out here change me. https://t.co/WMvtrMleAY

There is a lot going on in the world, but I am popping back in this space to share a yearlong investigation we published today about a hospital on Chicago's Northwest Side that some call the "Death Hospital."

"For all its problems, the L holds great significance for Chicagoans. It’s more than a means of moving people around — it’s integral to the city’s character."

This quote is stunning on so many levels to me. Great CTA story on the what went wrong with the L. From @talrosenberg

With ridership lagging and a fiscal reckoning looming, the L train is in trouble. What is its future? I wrote about all of it — how we got here and where we might be heading — for the May issue of @ChicagoMag. The story is online today and on newsstands now. (Link below)
