We demand justice! For too long, hot dogs have been packaged unequally in our great nation. The Hot Dog Act aims to close the gap between the amount of hot dogs in a pack of hot dogs and the amount of hot dogs buns that are packaged together. Hot dog buns are traditionally baked in pans that accommodate four rolls, while hot dog manufacturers seemingly came to a consensus that ten was the ideal number when they first began to package them for retail consumption in the 1940s.

Keegan Casteel of Iowa has been charged with two felony counts of unlawful use of weapon. Casteel was arrested earlier this week after he was found in the W Chicago Lakeshore hotel with a .308-caliber rifle with a high-powered scope and laser sight attachment inside a 12th floor room.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot praised the hotel worker who reported Casteel for his quick thinking, “I want to thank the hotel worker who spotted this individual from Iowa who decided it was a good idea to come to our city with an arsenal, an AR-15, and five loaded magazines which he had perched up on the windowsill. Thank God for that hotel worker, who saw something, and said something, and I believe averted disaster,” she said.

This is the first of many tough rejections this man will face in his entire life. Prayers up to our little homie.

He needs to use this as a teachable moment. No more public engagements. Next time you pop the question, do it in a secluded forest. No Ring doorbells, no smartphones, and no jumbotrons. Do this in the most discreet way possible in the future.

A new CPS policy that was passed in December will be enacted next month. This will put both condoms and menstrual products in nearly all schools going forward for CPS. According to the Chicago Sun Times, “schools that teach fifth grade and up must maintain a condom availability program as part of an expanded vision of sexual health education. That means all but a dozen, which enroll only younger grades, of the more than 600 CPS schools will have condoms.”

It’s tremendous that CPS is offering menstrual products to those that need it, but what about condoms in schools? In a statement by CPS, they noted, “CPS stresses that choosing to not have sex is the norm for 5th graders. Parents/guardians should be notified by their school if a condom demonstration will be provided.”

Des Plaines, you were warned. This Karen hates your fireworks and she’s going to let you know about it.

If Karen’s thought they had it bad, they might want to check with what Alexa’s have going on in their world right now. There is a growing movement of parents wanting to rename the smart speaker’s assistant AI after a number of bullying incidents related to children named Alexa. Parents in the UK told BBC, “She started to not want to introduce herself because of the jokes and the backlash,” in regards to their daughter named Alexa.

Other parents have also expressed wanting Amazon to change the name of its speaker. Massachusetts-based Lauren Johnson started a campaign called “Alexa is a Human,” noting in a letter to Amazon that her daughter, is “constantly bullied at school and camp because her name is Alexa.”

Both the Cubs and White Sox will have plenty of representatives at the MLB All-Star Game in Colorado this summer. From the North Side, Kris Bryant and closer Craig Kimbrel will represent the National League. The Sox will have three pitches representing them, which is the first time that’s happened since 2006. Lance Lynn, Carlos Rodon, and Liam Hendriks will proudly represent the South Side.
