Go play Pears at @slate.com today, type in "CANTINA," and see if you can spot the (I assume?) typo in the green text that comes up.

Many years ago, I went on an interview for a job producing web content about dead celebrities. While I was there, they gave me a sushi costume for my cat, for reasons. Here it is. #Halloween #CatsOfBlueSky #PetCostume #SushiCat P.S.: I got the job.

How many "Sexy Gladys" Halloween costumes will we see this season? #Weapons #Halloween #FilmSky #Horror

It must suck to feel like you're not safe in your own home anymore, like maybe you're worried that strange, masked men with guns will come into your home and abduct you without due process. #KristiNoem #ICE #Fascists www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I just laughed out loud at a dumb/brilliant joke in @theonion.com. Do yourself a favor: go read the articles (they're even better than the headlines) and sign up for the newsletter. #Comedy #Satire #Funny

There's something super appropriate about applying the #TACO principle to our #trade and #tariff negotiations with #Mexico.

They should rename the Marriner S. Eccles Building as "The Fedquarters."

It still takes me a moment to remember that when my son talks about "20s music," he means Imagine Dragons and not Al Jolson.

I'll never understand why so many people thought that a person who was too inept to keep a casino in business was somehow capable of leading a nation.

Just found out I'm the same age as Gregory Peck when he played Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird." I don't know what to do with that.

I would definitely prefer fewer stories like this, yes.

I'm at a restaurant within listening distance of a first date and I SO DESPERATELY want to tell the young man to stop talking and for the love of God ask the woman a question about herself.

First marigold of the season.

Growing up means reconciling the earned wisdom of your years with the fact that nobody gives a single fuck about your opinion. #CatsOfBluesky #ArchieCat

Funny. The Trump administration was so adamant that #KilmarAbregoGarcia will never return to the United States, regardless of what the courts rule. Now he's back in Maryland to stand trial, because #TACO, I guess? What a bunch of tools.

Guess it makes sense that #LucBesson would be attracted to the #Dracula story, as it's all about an older man who gets fixated on a woman way too young for him, seduces her, and drains her of her life...and for some reason people still think he's cool. #FilmSky #Movies

Adam Schlesinger was a once-in-a-generation songwriter, a pop music galaxy brain. I recently re-discovered this link I'd saved to a tribute album compiled by his friends and admirers back in 2020. Give it a listen. It's pure love. #AdamSchlesinger #PopMusic #PowerPop #FountainsOfWayne

From my #run this morning. So humid. #Runner #Running #LakeMichigan 🐈🐇🚢🌸🏃‍♂️

Meet the new #Pope. #TheState #SketchComedy #90s #MTV youtu.be/cAvXnBgJMdM?...

We get a spring! #Runner #Running #Run

When I first read the quote, I thought she was talking about how one comes to terms with their own mortality and inevitable demise.

I was thinking this morning about how important it is to fully understand the requirements of a job before you accept an offer. What are the duties? Can you carry them out? If you find yourself constitutionally unable to fulfill the very most basic functions, maybe it's not the right job for you.

I saw #Thunderbolts* last night, and it is incredibly appropriate that this movie came out on the first day of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth. It's got the trappings of a Marvel action movie: things explode, people fly, punches and quips are thrown, a good time is had by all. #FilmSky #Movies

Got to #run a 5K today with this little athlete. She crushed it. #Runner #Running #Ravesnwood #SybilWoJo

Had a dream last night that I was telling people about a dream I had and they were completely bored. #Prophecy?

Get yourself a case of the Mondays. #Runner #Running #LakeMichigan #Run

It's a beautiful morning? #running #LakeMichigan #runner #Chicago #RogersPark #Rabbit #RabbitsOfBluesky

Question: What do you call someone who inherits a seafood restaurant? Answer: A fillet of sole beneficiary.

More like CLOUDday, amirite? #Runner #Running #LakeMichigan #Rabbit #RabbitsOfBluesky

This morning's #run really ROCKed. #Runner #Running #LakeMichigan #Sunrise

Here's some photos from this morning's TRAIN-ing #run. #RunChi #Runner #Running #LakeMichigan #Trainspotting

Pace Bus can eat the least appealing part of a dog's anatomy.

So, if you fire tens of thousands of workers, and sow fear among hundreds of thousands more, that would tend to depress demand. And if you slap tariffs on consumer goods, like food and fuel, they get more expensive. People still buy them, but they've got less money left over to buy other stuff.

It occurs to me that if we ever allow robots to serve as senators, the filibusters will be insane.

Seeing all the coverage about an the transcript of a phone call to a reporter talking about plainly illegal things which will never happen, it's clear that Pres. Cheeseballz just wants to change the subject. And I can't believe how many people are falling for it. #SignalGate #WhiskeyLeaks

I saw "Black Bag," and it's a subversion of expectations. Mostly, I expected some tension or peril for our protagonists, but they managed to float above the twists and turns of the plot without any doubt or danger. The story isn't important, though. It's all about relationships. #FilmSky #Movies

Who wore it better?

I saw #ASH and really enjoyed it. It's a moody, atmospheric, claustrophobic #scifi #horror with a great soundtrack and hideous monster effects. There's a deep John Carpenter vibe running through it, as well as Alien/Aliens and some Resident Evil (game, not movies). I dig it. #FilmSky #Movies

How it started vs how it's going. In March of 2015, I was unemployed and reading lots of children's books to our seven month-old. I got to thinking about what a raw deal the pigs got in their story, and then got to thinking about all the other calamities that could and do befall them.

I saw a raccoon! #RunChi #Runner #LakeMichigan #Running #RunEvanston #Raccoon #RaccoonsOfBluesky

Been watching some new music videos and I'm surprised to see that the wheel of time has brought us all the way back to a world where the creepy-80s-Billy-Hargrove-mustache aesthetic is socially acceptable again.

I decided to watch "Severance," but when I logged into my AppleTV account, it showed all the episodes as being already watched. Is it possible I watched them during my lunch breaks at Lumon?

I saw #Eephus, and it hit close to home (pun intended). Framed as the final game between two recreational league baseball teams who have been rivals in a small Massachusetts town since time immemorial, it spoke to me about the rarity and fragility of male friendships. #FilmSky #Movies

Good morning! Sure seems like spring. #RabbitsOfBluesky #Rabbit #RunChi #Runner #Running #RunEvanston #LakeMichigan

Happy St. Patrick's Day! 🐍🍀🇮🇪🍀🐍 #RunChi #Runner #Running #LakeMichigan

Went for a run in #Chicago, wound up in #SilentHill. #RunChi #Runner #Running #LakeMichigan #RunEvanston

I saw Seven Veils, and I know what you're thinking: It's another contemplative film where Atom Egoyan explores psychosexual generational trauma one layer at a time through a the POV of a troubled, brilliant, and damaged woman. Yes, yes it is. And it's fantastic. #FilmSky #Movies

Honest question: how many movies will Osgood Perkins make about cursed dolls that inflict generational trauma on families? #FilmSky #Movies #Horror

I saw "Flow" and I thought it was incredible. It seems gimmicky: Foreign film with no human dialog, only animal noises, made for super cheap on open-source software. But even so, it's got an incredible amount of heart, and character, and scale, and just pure pathos. I loved it. #FilmSky #Movies
