Wow Oscar really hiccuped, burped, and threw up in his lap as soon as the lights went off. Crazy.

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social an Illini friend of mine watching two small girls tonight just texted the group chat K Bert Demon Punters.

CFB is coming and there has never been a better time to support the funniest, kindest, strangest people to ever talk about it. Honestly even if you don't care about football it is mostly lovely folks having a genuinely good time together, and we all need that energy right now.

@rhettmc.mythical.com and @asavage.bsky.social , Mythical does amazing prop and design work all of the time. A lot of us would love to see those people and their space! Dream video.

@legaleagle.tv hey can I have 10 minutes of your time for a video cameo? It’ll get a million views. :)

What the actual fuck guys? www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

The New Yorker was kind enough to reject this one

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

One horrible man's father did not love him, but did spoil him, and now everyone has to deal with it.

hey while we’re joining hands, thanks also to everybody who stayed home with their kids and kept their friends’ kids so their partners could go march. necessary work.

When the Bulls intro song hit in the Severance finale I started losing my mind and didn't stop until well after the episode was over.

Severance has a lot of work to do in 76 minutes. I can't wait.

@jordanjessego.bsky.social I had a new baby four weeks ago, first child. I have been blasting through JJGo as a new listener. I sleep to yall and we listen to you through night feeds. 6-12 hours a day, almost 200 episodes deep. I called my son the Boy Detective today. Thanks for the great content.

David Byrne is a genius and I think about this part of True Stories like once a week at least right now. youtu.be/EOzc0_bfSvc?...

the Midwestern power of the sentence "Illinois stands with Ukraine" just spawned a Portillo's in my living room

images from movies that make me go hell yea

Every person I know is currently either like "I need a job so badly!!!" or "My job is destroying my mind and body!!!"

Damn

extremely important PSA

I still remember when one of my best friends gave me her copy of Jitterbug Perfume. I immediately read everything Tom Robbins had ever written and that year remains one of the most electric, vibrant, influential reading experiences of my entire life.

REST IN PEACE TOM ROBBINS YOU ARE A BIG PART OF WHY I AM LIKE THIS

@benjaminahr.mobi please make sure Adam sees this.

Linda Holmes teasing him about romance in the comments is incredibly sweet and very funny.

Post is up, in which I rank every* Major League Baseball team by how helpful their nickname would be in an Angels in the Outfield scenario. assigned.substack.com/p/every-base... *except three

Librarians aren't going to save us. Librarians aren't superheroes. They're just people trying to keep largely underfunded and overwhelmed public services going. Praise is nice; realistic expectations are better; material support is best.

I'm beginning to think Donald Trump didn't even read the letter Joe Biden left him!!!

Chicago, baby.

pritzker needs to give a workshop about how to correctly respond to this chaotic moment. Lots of his fellow dems are just completely faceplanting.

One of the things that trips people on both sides up is the idea that people were more intelligent before, or will be at some point in the future. Both are wrong. People are stupid, and have been / will be for your entire life and long after. You have to work with this. It isn't changing.

Always remember that people whose sense of self is tied to status and profession will always defend the worst people who share those identities before they will defend anyone else. Even when those people are definitely Nazis.

a nazi speaking at a nazi rally. it’s really not deeper than that.

Newly launched, starting in Chicago: Landlord Mapper, an ambitious resource meant to aid tenant organizing and increase transparency of rental property ownership. The site combines rote ownership info with network graphs of likely related entities, building violation info, etc. landlordmapper.org

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Two posts from Every Frame a Painting in one day is a real treat. youtu.be/wa1O3nqW5hQ?...

Everyone is alive but unfortunately my sisters house burned down. Donate if you can. Thanks to those of you who have donated and shared.

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social I will pay 40 dollars for Business Prison sight unseen.

This a million times. People love library ebooks, but every single one of these companies are absolute bastards taking libraries for absolutely unreasonable amounts of their budgets and making what used to be community owned entirely a private third party resource.

So goodbye Justin Trudeau Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owls Hunting the horny back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the Justin Trudeau.

I'm sick of the police throwing all of their resources at the Hamburglar, while making nary a mention of the Fillet o' Filcher or the Egg McMugger.

Napoleon is master of Europe, only the British fleet stands before him, hulu is now fubo.

FACTOID we celebrate new year's from times square because that's where time lives

I didn't like the term skeets at first, but I came around. Posting has always been closer to jerking off than singing. I do wish they were called wanks though. The quality of very few posts implies completion. Dril might be skeeting, but most folks are just wanking and they know it.

Guys, I went to this so-called "doctor" Seuss for my flu and he told me that "floss for my schnozz is the thing that is king" and that "the cure for my lungs is in Billa-boo-bung," and I'm beginning to think our healthcare system is broken.

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.
