I have never seen this picture of the fire before. Absolutely horrific.

PS - never heard Federati before and I kinda of like it 🤗

@BlockClubCh @block-club-chicago-BlockClubCh Thanks for list list Block Club Chicago. I've always felt that judicial elections are overwhelming and you lay out the stakes very well. I'll fill out my ballot very carefully this year.

Solar-powered roadside nursery on the sidewalk near the racecourse.

While mainly aimed at Christians, I think Rowan William's formulation is food for thought for people who care about the world and want change.

If you are only prophetic, you can sound scolding and shrill.
If you are only priestly, you only focus on reconciliation rather than the process.
If you are only royal, you focus on solving problems.

You need all three - and should watch when you fall too much into one.

Who do you think they are - the White Sox?

@tinderness @FediFollows

But the point still stands - you only see them if you are following Flipboard accounts or if people in your network are following them and boosting them. Furthermore, most of the articles don’t have hashtags so you would not see them on hashtags.

@Flipboard have been great additions to the Fediverse and I am glad they are committed to it.

The new location for the national memorial cemetery is outside of #Kyiv, which is 20 kilometers from the city center. The families of the fallen soldiers are outraged by the long wait and the long distance from the capital.

@Daojoan AI headshots exist?! (Facepalm)

I wonder if it felt similar to the early days of the pandemic when there were no planes in the sky. We live relatively close to Chicago O’Hare and we were shocked at how quiet everything was without the planes.

#Zelenskyy's star power in #Washington seems to be waning, reports the NYT.

During his December 2022 visit, he received a standing ovation and nearly $50 billion in aid. As the war drags on, he faced a quieter reception and tough questions from some #Republicans on his latest trip.

@skinnylatte Oh my goodness, she was so cute! And THOSE shoes! ❤️

@grumpasaurus

Will add this one to the list! We have never been to Bridgeport so maybe this will be a good excuse. I still have not had a chance to check out the pho place at Paulina but it is still on my radar.

Wasn't able to make lunch today for work. I wanted something different so I finally decided to give Xi'an Cuisine in Greektown a try. Thanks to @grumpasaurus for the recommendation WAY back in February 2024. I got the Liangpi and the Veggie sandwich and both were great. The food tasted different from your "standard" American Chinese cuisine. Would definately get both again!

DOSA!

I couldn't help it. There was dosa in the house even before the cuppas were made. The batter looked so good, silky and very smooth for a home-blended one. I just couldn't resist getting to work with it.

They cooked up easily, no sticking, delicious!!! Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle.

The world is all right this morning.

@jendiagammon How about concepts of a plan?

(Sorry, couldn't resist....)

@egalandbooks

I don't know if you are using Substack on a device but I have mine on my android tablet. I also use Duck Duck Go's tracker block on the tablet that stops tracker requests. Substack is BY FAR the most intrusive app I have. Sometimes it pings my tablet over a hundred times a day. Even when it is not open. It is orders of magnatude more intrusive than the next noisiest app. I have started following Substacks on Feedly so I get the stuff but bypass the site and app.
