This past weekend included the Chicago Gay Pride Parade and helping a friend prepare for hosing a brunch beforehand. Blogging fell a bit on the priority list.
Meanwhile, here are some of the things I'm reading today:
- From last week, the Times discusses whether Earth's 23.4° axis tilt was actually a necessary precursor to life.
- New Republic's Josephine Huetlin asks, "Why do populists get away with corruption?"
- One of Chicago's last remaining over-the-tollway oases is slated for demolition.
- Josh Marshall points out why President Trump treating international diplomatic negotiations like flea-market haggling is a huge, long-term problem for the US.
- Writing for JetBrains' blog, developer Dino Esposito looks at how special string handling can be a code smell.
- The owner of the Lexington, Va., restaurant that kicked out Press Secretary Sarah Sanders talked to the Washington Post.
