There are many cheerful news stories about incarcerated people who are thriving in #college #classes. What those stories often fail to mention is that not all incarcerated people have access to those opportunities. Many are either in #prisons without classes or are languishing on waiting lists. @CharlotteWest has documented the problem of waiting lists in #Illinois, mentioning a person who has "been on a #waitlist since 2006 – nearly 19 years".

"Why most Chicagoans used to move at the same time on Moving Day"

Stupidity. Simple stupidity.

Got cat on lap under coffee, got coffee, got @GottaLaff posting on a more relaxed “Dark Wednesday.”

The MSNBC pundit gaggle yesterday described the Trump criminal trial as “dark” on Wednesdays, like it was dinner theater. A small, inelegant dinner theater that smells of “old soup and stale breath.”

Wups, the 9am auto feeder went off, so cat launched from under the blanket.

Now listening to #BBCnewshour on #WBEZ until time to log in for work.

The #Nerdette #podcast is coming to an end sometime soon. I had taken the show for granted for years - it was just there on #WBEZ Chicago. I usually listened on a weekend rebroadcast rather than subscribing.

Here’s Friday’s episode, a funny conversation about food, with a short clip of an Indianapolis crowd experiencing the #TotalSolarEclipse

Dammit. I just get into the #Nerdette podcast, and their hosting local public radio station #WBEZ lays off staff and sets to close their entire podcast department.

Here’s today’s #podcast

Again, it's that 'be healthy: eat well, exercise' stuff, but what's really behind the curtain is crazy shit and pseudoscience. You see this with the #looksmaxxing bullshit, which plays on insecurities. This nofap stuff plays on insecurities and/or porn addiction which should be handled by a licenced professional, not the manosphere.

#NowPlaying #WBEZ #Chicago #Bowling ❝It was a bowling alley. A literal bowling alley. And it wasn’t even a nice or a large bowling alley. It was grimy, it was rundown, and it was small. It had charm, though.❞ — Christopher Gutierrez https://www.wbez.org/stories/the-fireside-bowl-an-unlikely-place-for-punks-of-all-ages/3d4927dc-0fba-4fd8-abc0-bf2e67b6982d

Well, I now have #WBEZ and #NPR agreeing on who owns rights to what.

Now, the waiting game 😶
