In Chicago, every time I’ve seen a reason to help someone on transit (left-behind wallet, carrying something big, etc) it’s turned into the Olympics of Who Can Help the Most amongst all the passengers. Real Hellhole, this place…

Good night, you old hellhole… #chicago

We already know how to do dibs, we can do this.

Good night, you old hellhole! #chicago

Claymation-looking too-perfect clouds….

Y’all can we please, please not “Ha ha, he tweets funny!” that unserious California governor into the nomination in 2028 (if there is such a thing) the same way we did Trump in 2016?

But I sAW a BikE Run a REd LIGHt ONCe! Meanwhile, seems like every crosswalk now looks like this lately

Had my first in-person sighting of Tom Skilling yesterday, so there are no higher Chicago celebrity sightings left for me.....😎

Republicans have tossed the rulebook out. Here in Illinois, we will do whatever it takes to preserve democracy.

The only thing that could ever make me move to TX. (j/k, I’d never move to TX but anyone in Chicago want to create this?!?) www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/w...

Oh, is Leana F-ing Wen back on the side of prevention now?!? So hard to keep track...

Ornaments for what?!? ORNAMENTS FOR WHAT?!? You’re not fooling us with calling them “fall sweaters.” Also, IT IS JULY 31.

I just love my home….

My experience attending community board meetings tells me most people saying “great analogy!” in this context don’t actually believe the importance of power differentials in the road. traffic violence context either…… 🤔

Anyway if you're in Chicago and you see this guy tell him he's a jerk and to go home and I love him

See also: bikes on Dearborn at rush hour, especially now that State's closed. A thing of beauty.

Right now there are fascists in the White House. They haven't gotten to the Ustase stage yet, thank heavens, but that might yet come. Trump et al are set on making all of our lives as miserable as possible, and are set on shortening the lives of many of us. Make your art anyhow.

I'm in my mid-40s and still have every bit of this hard-coded in my memory youtu.be/ZQ_MEFVx5jM?...

I can think of one….. (But I don’t want him to leave IL!)

After musk fired so many federal workers due to "wasted American tax dollars" I feel like it should fall on the company's owner to provide security instead of wasting MY f*cking tax dollars as a display of force.

Dreamt last night that @yrfatfriend.bsky.social was talking about how summer reading was all an elaborate personal data grab by Pizza Hut. And I was like "Is NOTHING SACRED?!?" 😂

Amazing how fast I can write all those emails I've been procrastinating on when I'm doing it to procrastinate on grading papers...

Golly gee, it IS a headscratcher...
