The @SomebodyPod podcast details the murder of Courtney Copeland, who arrived wounded at a Chicago police station. What happened next is unclear, but Copeland died in handcuffs.
Copeland’s mother’s work prompted an OIG report, and now, @chicagosmayor is blocking its release.
The only OIG reports Chicago has released during Mayor @LoriLightfoot’s administration deal with issues that arose under the previous administration, while reports of great immediate interest to the public have been withheld. interc.pt/40CVbQJ

SO THE BAND YOU HEAR IN THE MOVIE IS ACTUALLY LETTERS TO CLEO BUT THE ACTRESSES WHO PLAY THE PUSSYCATS REALLY SELL IT. THE REVIEWS WERE LUKEWARM BECAUSE THE SOCIAL COMMENTARY WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME IN A LOT OF WAYS. ALSO TARA REID GIVES HER BEST PERFORMANCE!
We call this “hose water”

I just would like to point out that the speed limit is the fastest one should be driving. It is a *limit*. 9 mph over is not the limit. 6 mph over is not the limit. The speed limit *is* the limit.

As you prowl the shelves for natural wines and craft beers, there are plenty of surprises at this combo bar and liquor store.

I recently moved to a suburb that plows the sidewalks and the alleys. Something about the idea that they cared about the possibility I’ll want to leave the house on a Sunday morning made me feel like royalty. It’s nice.
With snow and black ice causing havoc, transit advocates are pushing for Chicago to "plow the sidewalks." buff.ly/3IDs06t
Wow, I can't wait to spend $200 to buy some COVID tests (if I can find them?), and then submit receipts to my health insurance company, so they can tell me I bought the "wrong" ones and refuse reimbursement.
