Three people were shot, one of them fatally, Nov. 6, 2019, in Chicago. | Sun-Times file photo
The day’s only fatal shooting claimed the life of a 53-year-old woman who was driving in Altgeld Gardens on the Far South Side.
Three people were shot Wednesday in Chicago, including a woman who was killed in Altgeld Gardens on the Far South Side.
About 10:26 p.m., the 53-year-old was behind the wheel of a vehicle pulling into a lot in the 1000 block of East 133rd Street when shots rang out, Chicago police said.
The woman was struck in the face and pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The Cook County medical examiner’s office hasn’t released details on the death.
No arrests have been reported. Area South detectives are investigating.
A man was shot during a robbery in Austin on the West Side.
The 23-year-old was walking down an alley about 11:58 a.m. in the 5700 block of West Erie Street when two unknown males approached him, police said. They went through the man’s pockets, took his personal property and one of them pulled out a handgun.
After seeing the gun, the man ran through the alley and heard gunshots behind him, police said. He was shot in the arm and taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where his condition was stabilized.
No arrests have been reported. Area North detectives are investigating.
In the day’s first reported shooting, a 28-year-old man was grazed by a bullet in Little Village on the South Side.
About 5:10 a.m., he was in his vehicle in the 2600 block of West Cermak Road when a white SUV approached and opened fire, grazing him on the head, police said. The white SUV then fled northbound on Rockwell Street, sideswiping a parked vehicle.
The man was able to take himself to Mt. Sinai Hospital where he was stabilized, police said.
The man told police that there were about five people in the SUV – four Hispanic males and a Hispanic female.
No one is in custody as Area Central detectives investigate.
Wednesday’s shootings come after a Tuesday where seven people were wounded in shootings citywide.

May at 10 by Anthony Seldon review – politics and pressure
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 8:30am CET by David Runciman
Could Theresa May have delivered a deal? And was she right to call an election? A study of the what ifs of BrexitWhatever happens in next month’s general election, it is hard to see how Theresa May can win. If Boris Johnson gets a parliamentary majority and is able to force his version of Brexit through, he will be the one who did what she couldn’t, who got the backing of the voters where she failed, who reopened a deal she said was closed, and who seized his moment when she didn’t dare. It will be his victory. On the other hand, if Johnson comes a cropper at the polls and Brexit ends up stymied again, May will go down in the annals of her party as the PM who squandered their best chance to save Brexit and to save themselves. He will be the fall guy. But she will get the ultimate blame.
Anthony Seldon’s exhaustive inside account of May’s tenure in Downing Street offers little ammunition for anyone hoping to mount a defence of her premiership. Based on extensive interviews with all the key players (except the PM herself), his book portrays May as a brittle and shallow politician, incurious, inflexible and ultimately out of her depth. She has her moments – he commends her handling of the Salisbury poisonings, for example – but on the whole she comes across as fixed in her views when she needed to be open, yet indecisive when she needed to act: a fatal combination.

A Dog Called Money review – globetrotting PJ Harvey keeps her distance
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 8:01am CET by Cath Clarke
This documentary about the making of the singer-songwriter’s album The Hope Six Demolition Project provides few insights
Here’s a disappointingly uninsightful documentary about the making of PJ Harvey’s reportage-style 2016 album The Hope Six Demolition Project. It’s directed by Harvey’s friend, photojournalist Seamus Murphy, who she travels with on research field trips to Afghanistan, Kosovo and low-income black neighbourhoods of Washington DC. But the film’s political engagement is oddly wishy-washy, while fans hungry for intimate access to the singer will leave frustrated – Murphy politely respects Harvey’s cool, emotionally reserved public persona.
In Washington, Harvey meets Paunie, a teenage girl who dresses like a boy and commands total respect on the street. (It’s Paunie’s dog, Money, that gives the film the title.) In Kosovo, an elderly woman keeps the keys of neighbours who fled the village during the war (and presumably won’t be coming back). Murphy shoots with compassion and journalistic curiosity, his camera inching closer and closer to the face of a boy in Washington who is explaining how his dad, cousin and friend were all shot dead on the same block – two murders, one suicide.

Why I’m seeking solace in The Brexit Book of the Dead, and other poems | Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 8:00am CET by Rhiannon Lucy Cosslett
I fear what this crisis is doing to us. But verse is an antidote, illuminating where political commentary falls short
Simon Armitage, the poet laureate, was undoubtedly wise when he declined to pen a poem to commemorate the UK’s exit from the European Union on the intended “Brexit day” of 31 October. He perhaps preferred to save his ink for national occasions that are a bit more pinned-down. This enraged some Brexiters to the point that they regrettably decided to pen their own attempts, with the Spectator’s blog even promising to publish the best. I found revisiting the deathless verse of Brexit party MEP Lance Forman particularly pleasing on Thursday, as the light poured in from the window overlooking my garden which, like the rest of the nation, remained resolutely part of the European Union: “October 31st / Is when we burst / Out of the EU’s grip / No ifs. No buts / No backstop cuts / We leave the sinking ship”.

Fishy business: should we all be seagans?
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 8:00am CET by Dale Berning Sawa
Augmenting a vegan diet with fish is becoming a popular approach to healthy eating. But what about its environmental impact?
The Waitrose Food & Drink Report is out, an annual summary of how the nation has been spending its money on food. Although, of course, it is not the entire nation, just that part of it that shops at Waitrose. As usual, it is full of surprises. Did you know that customers have bought a head-turning 700% more tahini this year? Or that seaganism – with its attendant seacuterie (salmon pastrami, swordfish ham) – is now a thing?
Both these things point to the report’s most salient trend: in a bid to eschew packaging, we are making more stuff from scratch (tahini + chickpeas = hummus), and we are tending towards – but not entirely committing to – vegan eating.

According to political advisers, declining print newspaper circulations, falling audiences for broadcast television bulletins, and a febrile online environment may lead to a focus on divisive “culture war” issues forcing the public to pick a side.

'Sheet masks are the new plastic straws' – the movement to streamline your skincare
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 7:03am CET by Lisa Niven-Phillips
For a long time beauty routines only seemed to get more elaborate. But thanks to environmental concerns – as well as questions about the effectiveness of layering products - some corners of the industry are finally arguing that less is more
The #shelfie is so passé. The trend for posting Instagram snaps of beauty cabinets stuffed with myriad, millennial-pink products looks set to take a downturn as customers spurn multi-step routines in favour of a more streamlined, sustainable approach to skincare.
In the UK, 28% of women have reduced the amount of products in their skincare routine over the past year, according to the research group Mintel, with the women’s facial skincare market expected to fall to an estimated £1.16bn from £1.17 bn in 2018. As we move away from the K-beauty trends – such as the now infamous 10-step routine, that led consumers to invest in a full roster of cleansers and multiple serums – we’re now using less and spending less as a result. In a world ever more conscious of the ecological impact of the products we buy, an elaborate skincare regime no longer feels luxurious; it just feels wasteful.

Seen but not heard: why don't women speak in The Irishman?
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 7:01am CET by Beatrice Loayza
Scorsese has created provocative roles for women. But with only six words in his latest film, Anna Paquin’s moral spectre is a sign of a troubling trend in Hollywood
When Anna Paquin joined the cast of Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, it seemed like a decent break for the actor who has flown under the radar since her days as the half-vampire Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood. Paquin’s was the only big female name alongside the likes of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci and a myriad of other recognisable male stars – an anomaly that held the promise of a particularly meaty female role (if Scorsese’s gangster flicks serve as evidence).
But even though The Irishman never suggests it would prominently feature its female characters, few could have anticipated quite how absent its most important female figure is.

Who is the real Dice Man? The elusive writer behind the disturbing cult novel
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 7:00am CET by Emmanuel Carrère
A search for the mysterious author of a counterculture classic led to someone else entirely. Or did it? By Emmanuel Carrère
Toward the end of the 1960s, Luke Rhinehart worked as a psychoanalyst in New York and was bored stiff. He lived in a pretty apartment with a nice view. He practised yoga, read books on Zen, dreamed vaguely of joining a commune but did not dare. As a therapist, he was resolutely nondirective. If a patient who still had not lost his virginity was plagued by sadistic impulses and said on Rhinehart’s couch that he would like to rape and kill a little girl, his professional ethics obliged him to repeat with a calm voice: “You’d like to rape and kill a little girl?” No judgment. But what he wanted to say was: “Well, go ahead, then! If what really turns you on is raping and killing a little girl, then stop boring me with this fantasy. Do it!”
He checked himself before coming out with such monstrosities, but they obsessed him more and more. His own fantasies were nothing extreme – not enough to get him sent to prison – but like everyone else, he stopped himself going through with them. What Luke would have liked, for example, was to sleep with Arlene, the wife of his colleague Jake Ecstein, who lived across the landing. But as a faithful husband, he let the idea simmer away in the back of his mind.

Faking it: could I go from being an introvert to an extrovert in one week?
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 7:00am CET by Sirin Kale
New research has found that being an extrovert makes you happier. So I spent a week attending social events to see if I could trick myself into being more naturally outgoing
I was asked to torture myself for a week for this experiment. Well, not torture, but close enough for me. For a week, this introvert would put social awkwardness to one side and live as an extrovert. I don’t particularly enjoy meeting new people. I decline most party invitations and if I do go, I leave as soon as I can without causing offence. Sometimes I fantasise about doing what Princess Diana used to do when she wanted to lose friends – change her phone number. So the prospect of spending a week saying yes to every social engagement that came my way was about as appealing as a root canal treatment.
But evidence shows that conquering your inner introversion can be good for your mental health. In the first study of its kind, researchers at the University of California asked 123 people to act as extroverts for a week. Participants were asked to be talkative, assertive and spontaneous in their daily interactions with other people. The following week, the same group was asked to act like introverts. The findings were remarkable.

Boarding schools warp our political class – I know because I went to one | George Monbiot
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 7:00am CET by George Monbiot
Like Boris Johnson, I was sent away. These are institutions of fear, cruelty and trauma, and they create terrified bullies
There are two stark facts about British politics. The first is that it is controlled, to a degree unparalleled in any other western European nation, by a tiny, unrepresentative elite. Like almost every aspect of public life here, government is dominated by people educated first at private schools, then at either Oxford or Cambridge.
The second is that many of these people possess a disastrous set of traits: dishonesty, class loyalty and an absence of principle. So what of our current prime minister? What drives him? What enables such people to dominate us? We urgently need to understand a system that has poisoned the life of this nation for more than a century.

Move aside Emma Watson, here are five new ways to be single beyond ‘self-partnered’
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 7:00am CET by Max Benwell
Are you in an unethically monogamous relationship with yourself? Or are you just an apposexual?
Emma Watson has managed to accidentally fire up western society’s jumbo hot take machine again, this time by using an inventive way to describe her single status.
While many have supported her use of the term “self-partnered” for its more positive framing of single life, it’s also prompted the usual groans from those who seem to hate everything female celebrities say and do. Piers Morgan, for example, called it “rubbish”, and asked if it means she can’t “get a bloke”.

Longtime Baptist pastor of Logan Square church resigns after admitting to sex abuse in the ’60s

Armitage Baptist Church | Google Maps
Charles Lyons, who’s been pastor of Armitage Baptist Church since 1974, resigned from his role on July 31, according to a report from the Illinois Baptist State Association.
A longtime pastor at Baptist church in Logan Square resigned after admitting to sexually abusing a minor in the ’60s.
Charles Lyons, who’s been pastor of Armitage Baptist Church since 1974, resigned from his role on July 31, according to a report from the Illinois Baptist State Association, in which Armitage is a member church.
Lyons’ resignation followed what church leaders called a “corrective leave of absence” that started in October 2018, according to the ISBA.
Lyons disclosed the long-term abuse to church leaders in October 2017, according to the ISBE. Relatives of the victim then reported it in April 2018. Criminal charges have not been filed.
Lyons then paid for the victim to receive counseling for more than a year and worked with the pastoral team to report his abuse with the congregation, according to the ISBA.
Church leaders consulted with experts to follow mandatory reporting regulations and conducted further investigation to make sure there were no sexual abuse accusations against Lyons during his tenure at the church, according to the ISBA.
In a Nov. 4 statement to the ISBA, church leaders said: “We acknowledge the pain that many people have felt throughout this process. We grieve over the damaging effects produced by sin. We continue to pray for all those involved in trusting in the healing and restoring power of God.”
Lyons will not return to his role at Armitage and was told not to engage in public ministry while under the discipline of the church, according to the ISBA.

I’ve never been good at banter but I can't deny insulting someone is a great way to bond | Deirdre Fidge
Posted: November 7th, 2019, 6:04am CET by Deirdre Fidge
Sledging, ribbing, teasing – these are all subjective terms, so you have to be careful it doesn’t become bullying
I’ve never been good at banter. If you are, you know my type: when a group full of friends is playfully teasing each other, I’m the one laughing a little bit too loudly, eyes brimming with tears.
Maybe it’s my over-sensitivity, or the fact I spent my childhood in Canada, where I never noticed these dynamics (compared to Australia, where my Aussie relatives would regularly take the piss out of me while my face flushed), but I’ve always been bad at it. Growing up, I never understood it.
