Chicago near the Congress Plaza Hotel next weekend:

Sometimes I get a little annoyed with bus drivers but like every CTA operator is at risk for this kind of violence and it's not fair to them

Especially when Mayor Pete himself has said he wished he weren't gay and claimed that was a common gay experience. Sorry Petey buddy, but I love being gay.

This is what the Supreme Court calls “race neutral.”

I'm an elite? 🥹👉👈

Stop acting like this Fucking stop it

I'm gonna scream at the next person who says the Democrats and Republicans are the same.

Absolutely failure on the part of the Chicago Park District to create safe green spaces. Why can’t we have any spaces in this city that aren’t totally thinner and overrun by cars? @betterstreetschicago.org @bikegridnow.org

The guillotine is too kind an option people like this

This is one of the problems with the term "hallucinate"; it implies an error on the part of the LLM. But it's not an error, the LLM is working as intended. It is not an information machine, it is a language machine.

These long Mondays are kicking my butt and yet here I am wondering if I can do this class again next spring

If the golden mushroom has one hater, it's me. If the golden mushroom has no haters, I am dead

Fireworks going off in our neighborhood and the only options we could think were: a) early Cinco de Mayo celebration, or b) he died

Cornell, like most of its Ivy peers, lacks any moral compass so this president will probably hang around until they decide it's too big a debacle

I agreed to go with my parents to a show next week and jesus fuck how many fucking white boy stories do we need to shovel into middle America every year and call them masterpieces

The "clean" dog whistle stings. We know what you mean

My cousin has had a series of medical challenges and is seeking support. Please join me in helping him heal: gofund.me/99e7a8f2d

If someone I had sex with spoke about my body this way to the entire internet, I would block them on every platform and instruct my family and friends to do the same

My worst gay opinion: The Devil Wears Prada is massively overrated by the gay community. 1) There are no openly queer actors in major roles. 2) It's not about queer people. It's about ✨girlbosses✨ and that's apparently all y'all need. Too many of y'all eat whatever slop Hollywood throws at you.

Sorry, we can't impeach the president or stop voting for his corrupt gang of white supremacist appointees. (Wouldn't work.) Instead, we are targeting a specific Twitch streamer. (Major priority, worth the effort.) We decided to do this on our own volition by the way. (Don't ask about Israel, lol.)

I have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said

Baseball game is delayed, SIL's baby is a couple days overdue, can SOMETHING happen please I can only sit around drinking so many cups of coffee

Headlines saying this Supreme Court decision "curtails the use of race" in voting are going to make me have a stroke. It empowers white supremacy. It does not curtail the use of race.

I agree with President Warren G. Harding on this matter

Dalton Rushing wants to be the least liked guy in baseball so bad

The murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, along with the attempted murder of John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette barely lasted a news cycle. The attempted arson of Josh Shapiro's house didn't break through at all. Compare that to the coverage of charlie kirk.

2025: We have to save ourselves from fascism 2026: Stop being mean to the fascists and their collaborators 🥺👉👈

I don't even know what happened but no one has seriously ever tried to kill Trump, at least not in the last year. He loves the theater of it. He's such a fucking loser he keeps trying the same scripts and those MAGA idiots keep eating the slop like starved wild animals

I always thought a bar would be fun but I don't want to deal with drunk people so let's say a sober bar

Fell asleep on the train, call that zzzta

Next up on the Chronicle: Deans of students are wrong: Students shouldn't receive supportive services Registrars encroach on scholars' academic wisdom regarding the best times of day and classrooms for their classes Title IX offices degrade the classroom by not letting professors degrade students

I'm a top, so.

*slaps hood*

There's a very easy way to end all of this gerrymandering: Congress can pass a law outlawing it. And Democrats have repeatedly proposed exactly that. Republicans have uniformly rejected these proposals every single time.

Amazing stuff

Let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.

Post the best picture you have ever taken of your pet.

Attention to all Chicagoans who work for tips: the people in green who voted 'Yea' are the aldermen you should to vote against in the city elections next February.

I made a shitty meme.

A colleague emailed me asking if I'd apply for leadership in a professional org in my old field. I said no bc I lost my job in the field. What breaks my heart is that the reason there's a gap in the leadership is she also lost her job in higher ed and is leaving the org

Incineroar and Mimikyu have been Pokemon longer than JD Vance has been Catholic.

I'm looking to build up my following here on Bluesky, so if you're looking for a queer Appalachian writer who writes gay love stories set in West Virginia and who's also a pop culture critic, then I'm your fella!

Trying to be a good Christian woman today but having erotic thoughts about Jesus with his gorgeous long dark locks and his tight otter muscles spending time with his twelve open relationship men speaking about socialism and love.

I <3 vintage memes

You gotta hand it to JK Rowling. (“It” is a live grenade)

My new employer has a program whose initials, which they regularly abbreviate, are FCF and it is A Challenge Not To Say Something

after Charlie Kirk died pundits like Ezra Klein praised his "hard conversations" with students. under the higher ed backlash he helped start, the real hard-to-have conversations are about gender, race, sexuality, protest. the feminists touring colleges with academic bans: @us.theguardian.com
