A true revolutionary. - Yellow Dog Democrat - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 7:45 am: And holy cow, another great Chicagoan is conducting: Quincy Jones. - Linus - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 9:05 am: Miles, in keeping with the State Fair theme. Wonderful stuff. And I believe YDD meant to say “holy butter cow.” - Incandenza - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 9:44 am: We’ve had a ton of tornados recently, especially in the south suburbs. More than usual. Does anyone know of any reporting or analysis of if this is a new climate change reality, or if it’s just an anomaly? - Isabel Miller - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 10:07 am: == new climate change reality == Block Club had a good piece on this a couple months ago. Scientific American also wrote about Tornado Alley shifting east a few years back. - Homebody - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 10:28 am: Any bets on what the Bears will say stadium wise today? - Grandson of Man - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 10:33 am: NBC 5 Chicago did a great news segment yesterday on the climate related cuts by DOGE, severe weather in Illinois, possible upcoming federal cuts to meteorology and global warming denial by the president. Not good at all. - Rudy’s teeth - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 10:33 am: Enjoying the Jazz videos posted in the last few days. So many great artists with links to Illinois. - hisgirlfriday - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 10:48 am: Hope the Quincy Powerball jackpot ticket purchaser is an Illinois resident and not just some traveler passing through - Dotnonymous x - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 1:56 pm: https://www.sciencealert.com/long-covid-linked-to-lasting-damage-in-the-brains-dopamine-system - Dotnonymous x - Thursday, Aug 13, 26 @ 2:01 pm: “So what”…made my ears grow.
