Totally missed post 8p sunset day. I’ve been busy with a newborn. Please forgive me. I’ll have more sunrise sunset fun facts soon.

8:02p sunset tonight! We continue to gain 2+ minutes tomorrow and Thurs, and then the pace of more daylight slows considerably. We started the climb from 4:19p, and we gain another 27 minutes before the latest sunset of the year at 8:29. Pre-530a sunrises start Friday!

Callahan Auto is officially severing all ties with Walmart! It’s come to my attention they raised prices on Callan Brake Pads (in the name of tariffs) even though we manufacture and source 100% in the USA!!!

I want to save everyone a lot of time and energy wondering what is going to happen - the “big, beautiful bill” will 100% pass and become law. There will be some dramatics and some haggling, but it will be passing.

The number of people who think we are halfway through 2025 on June 1st is a bit alarming.

Weatherman-I-shall-not-name on ABC-7 referred to this more than half a dozen times last week.

Taps the sign. People. Use some math here.

Nothing quite as satisfying as adding things you’ve already done to a list just so you can cross it off.

When the monarchy falls

7 years ago today, laid-off DNAinfo journalists launched @blockclubchi. Since then, we've told nearly 28,000 stories. We’ve grown from 8 to nearly 40 full-time staffers. And our reporting has changed laws, led to criminal charges + uplifted our city. Thank you, Chicago.🙏

It's an honor to be recognized along with so many talented women in the industry #thegracies #gracies50 AWM Headquarters WGN Radio 720

Oh no I have bad news for my friends on the tv side… x.com/wgnnews/status…

I hate to report that Chicago, our sunrises are already getting later. 5:15a this morning. Good news, still 58 mornings of sunrises before 6am!

We’re here. The longest daylight of the year. 15 hrs 13 min 41 sec Tomorrow we start losing daylight. But let’s stay positive— Sunsets get later for another week. In the next month we’ll only lose 26 minutes of daylight. 48 more post 8p sunsets. 86 more post 7p sunsets.

Good morning. We’re closer to 2050 than 2000. Sorry.

29 of the past 31 days were above average before today. 32 days in a row of 80+ degree heat. Halfway through summer we’ve had 18 90+ degree days. The normal for the whole summer is 17. Enjoy today because some insane humidity is back next week. blockclubchicago.org/2025/07/17/enj…
