What are this week’s murder stats in YOUR city?
Lori Lightfoot (@LoriLightfoot) profile pictureLori Lightfoot@LoriLightfoot20 Nov 2022
I’m sick of this shit. How many people need to be murdered? How many lives torn apart? Until it actually stops? We don’t have to live like this. And we don’t have to die like this.

May sound silly but this kinda stuff (meeting and taking care of fans) will always be the best part of fame. Thanks for being awesome, Carol! Make sure you tell all your friends how mean, cold and unkind #BlackAdam really is in person 😉 Great to meet you 👊🏾

#ElectraFire (Amador & Calaveras Co) - Listed as 5% contained now. Mapped by FIRIS @ 3,915 acres about an hour ago, most of that growth is highlighted in the red boxes: below Quail Dr & below Amador Ln near Lake Tabeaud.

Only thing more remarkable than DOJ not leaking the list is that no one in the media cares. Doesn’t that seem odd?

Technology makes you closer to persons far from you but takes you away from those sitting right next to you. I’m glad I grew up playing outside and visiting my grandparents in Sweden instead of texting them in Sweden.

I know this is old news to many, but the iconic Hangar One at Moffett Airfield is getting a reskin! Construction crews putting on a dazzling display of workmanship.

On this day in 1933, my beloved USS Macon took her first flight in Akron. I had not yet met her, but I yearned for her.

One Ukrainian War Casualty: The World’s Largest Airplane (Published 2022)

Mriya, the world’s largest aircraft, was destroyed in a pivotal battle at the start of the war. It was a beloved symbol for all of Ukraine but perhaps no one misses it more than its first pilot.

On this day in 2014 the United States General Services Administration announced that Google's Planetary Ventures would lease Moffett Field. My restoration was promised to happen soon.

On this day in 2015, Google's (now Alphabet's) Planetary Ventures LLC - it's turtles all the way down - took over Moffett Field and me. They promised to reskin me with in 18 months. It is finally happening.

Olive colored Mercedes G-wagon, CA license “FWAZ”. Holy hell! Nice lane change. You didn’t quite take off my bumper and cause an accident.
You’ve got to really hand it to us short people. Because we probably can’t reach it anyway. – at Texas, USA

SFTMA told me it's going to take 30+ months to get a speed bump installed on my street IF my application is approved. So, I bought one on Amazon for $140, including the masonry bolts!😀 You guys. It works.

Today marks 800 days of house arrest for a "crime" where the longest previous sentence was 90 days. Feeling vulnerable, but also strong and hopeful. 🙏❤️
