‘Phonetic’ is not.
‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters.
‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym.
Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

Walz: The other side spent a lot of time promising that they would leave things up to the states. I'm willing to take them at their word for that. The moment they try to bring a hateful agenda to this state, I'm ready to stand up and fight for the way we do things here.

Illinois will do more than just protect against the possible reversion to an agenda that threatens to take us backward.
We'll continue to advance a positive, productive, and inclusive agenda of our own – one that brings opportunity here and helps uplift the nation as a whole.

I won the photo op with Mark Hamill & Hayden Christensen. I may have been vocal abt where I needed to stand, & I definitely teared up as I was able to tell him how much this truly meant to me. Thank you to my daughter-in-law for this! And thanks to @MarkHamill and @fanexpochicago

Bill Dewitt needs to have a press release ready at the end of this game listing everyone who is being fired today. I have been a game for 45 years—never has the team looked so bad that I regret buying tickets and planning on making the 4 hour round trip.
Paul Dejong has a .687 OPS, that’s higher than:
Goldschmidt
Nootbar
Donovan
Gorman
Winn
Herrera
Mo/Dewitt/Oli are we still supposed to be patient after losing 2 of 3 to the worst team in MLB at home?

Nothing’s going to change until the fans demand it. And the way to demand change is through economics—tickets sales, merchandise sales. I have to drive over 2 hours one way to attend a game; I don’t have it in me to make that drive to essentially throw away money on a bad game.
