Dropping yourself off a chain of five close friends from work will likely cause much more drama than slipping away from a 16-parent discussion about uniforms for your kid’s soccer team. Plus, the larger the group, the more unrealistic it would be for you to try to set parameters. TNS
You’re a part of a group text that’s been flooded with messages as of late. Is it best to lay boundaries with the rest of the group or just leave altogether?
Group texts come in all shapes and sizes, and it’s unrealistic to think that everyone’s communication needs and styles will align perfectly. From time zone discrepancies to emoji overuse to whatever tech glitch causes some people’s “likes” to replicate an entire text thread all over again (why, oh why, do some phones do this?), it can be enough to make you want to pull the plug altogether.

Details around the 1969 police shooting of Hampton and other Black Panther members took decades to come to light.
Early in the predawn hours of December 4, 1969, a Peoples Gas truck pulled up in front of an apartment building at 2337 W. Monroe St. in the West Side of Chicago. Fourteen plainclothes Chicago Police officers quietly filed out of the undercover truck, armed with pistols, a shotgun, a machine gun, and a detailed map of their target, an apartment occupied by leaders of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party.

A Jewel-Osco store in Chicago is the first grocery in the nation to pilot an automated pickup kiosk, one of numerous investments grocers are making to prepare for a future of more online shopping.
The kiosk, located in the store parking lot, is meant to offer a convenient and contact-free option for online shoppers to collect their groceries. Shoppers are asked to select a two-hour pickup window, and when they arrive they scan a code and their items are delivered robotically, according to the company.
