Chicago Public Square returns in force Tuesday. Meanwhile, although The Conversation’s filed no new quiz for today, last week’s end-of-year puzzler’s stuck around for your amusement. Also check out Lyz Lenz’s Dingus of the Year, Tedium’s Blog Post of the Year, Rex Huppke’s review of Republicans’ 2023 “weirdness and dunderhead-osity,” and updates on yet another state’s move to block Donald Trump from the 2024 presidential ballot.
