WARNING: This edition of Sources with Knowledge is extra rant-filled. The Chicago Teacher’s Union is ready to strike, mother***ers! And they’ve got their own Aldermanic version of a motivational speaker. But none of that can hide just how unreasonable their demands are. Eric and Joe break down the Des Moines Register’s incandescently horrible handling of the Carson King story. The reward for raising $1 million for a children’s hospital? A newspaper trying to ruin your life, only to have the reporter who did it caught up in the same kind of social media scandal immediately after. We live in a society without forgiveness but with perpetual atonement. What can we do about it? Was the climate strike worth it? Did it even make sense? And can we stop putting kids in the middle of the political process? Thrillist has a “painstaking” ranking of Taco Bell menu items. How’d they do? Not so well.
