Ran the numbers on this one and found that ambulance response times in Chicago are rising. Those response times can be the difference between life and death
On August 2020 FBG Duck was killed. Last year, his mom sued the city, claiming that Duck lay on the ground injured for about 17 minutes before he was taken to the hospital. She is not the only one who thinks Chicago ambulances take too long to help.

If you guessed San Juan County, Utah you are CORRECT. Bordering 14 other counties, it comes in at number one. Helps to be on the four corners with counties from Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona

this of course is the same guy who, when asked by a rando on X what he should watch, responded "start with a silent horror movie from 1927 and go from there"
Nick Newman had replied to a tweet a few weeks back asking me what movies I would recommend. I told him to try The Unknown with Lon Chaney and go from there.

Newsom was hanging out on York Boulevard today. Unclear if he bought anything at Shorthand
Kevin & Rosanna's Altadena pizza shop and home were destroyed by the #EatonFire. Today, I stopped by their coffee shop & stationary store, which remain standing. Small businesses like these are our economic backbone — and we’ll do all we can to help Angelenos rebuild stronger.
