    I can't even begin to show you all how big this protest is. There are people from Madison St. to Wacker drive, up and down Michigan Ave, Wabash St, and Dearborn St. Outside of the Cubs 2016 parade, it's the biggest gathering I've seen in Chicago.

    "Plunges the county into turmoil"? No, no, no. C'mon AP, this is journalism, not some clickbait for Buzzfeed. World War II plunged the country into turmoil. Contested parliaments. Not so much. Stop with the hyperbole.

    Once again I'm so confused with the X account. There's nothing awful about this announcing. There is something awful about the officiating.

    When this photo book I'm working on about the Best High School Gyms in Illinois comes out. Nobody is gonna be able to say this Chicago guy ignored southern Illinois. Roughly 100 gyms photographed about 30 more to go. visualpreservationist.com/illinois-best-…

    Here's to the 248 teams that don't win state. Every weekend there's another group of seniors that feel like they lost more than a game and while they really wanted to win a title, they'd probably settle for one more time suiting up with friends. #The248

    No, I'm not at Harvard or Yale tonight, they call this place "The Pit." Wait for it. It's one of the coolest gyms in the state. @MaineSouthHoops Vs @LockportHoops. At @lthsathletics

    Hello. Museum of natural history in China? Yes, I have a snail that can't die. Would you like to study it and keep it on display forever? Ok, cool. I'll pay someone to fly it over from America.

    I'm mad at Illinois high school Twitter right now. You guys have known for 3 years I've been looking for cool gyms, and not one of you said Springfield Southeast had a G.D. DOME!

    Gotta say, @StRitaHS has an under-appreciated #NationalAnthem presentation. They don't do it for all the home games, but when they do, it's R&B from the 1990s cool. Looking forward to hearing it a few times next season. Congrats on a great run @sritabasketball

    The shrug. Who did it better? #BrotherRice's @AhmadHenderson1 2023 or #MichaelJordan 1992. Also, Jordan 📸 by former Chicago Tribune photojournalist & all around cool dude @ScottStrazzante. Ahmad's 📸 by me. @BR_Hoops

    #StRita vs #MtCarmel is a heated rivalry, was there some pushing & shoving during the game? Yeah, but with the clock winding down, these kids showed class. Being on both sidelines during & after the game, some adults in those stands need to go to confession tomorrow. Just sayin
