The US is a deeply flawed democracy.

Perfect snow day today and glad to still see so many out for small business Saturday in Ravenswood.

Sorry, y’all. It’s officially Zwift season.

Didn’t make the trip home for Thanksgiving this year so i made my own pecan pie. I’m basically read for Bake Off now.

Did not expect to open this app and see Rogue One hate today and I just gotta say I disagree with all of it. It’s in the running for the best Star Wars movie for me and I thought this before Andor was even a concept. Solo, on the other hand, I did not care for.

A tree-lined community with an easy commute to downtown Chicago has become a new hot spot for families. It isn’t Lincoln Park or Lakeview or even Bucktown. It’s Lincoln Square.

Memphis folks… this is gonna get interesting.

Just happened to look out the window and saw the unmistakable silhouette of a 4 engine wide body. Glad Lufthansa is still keeping these going. Most of three 747s I see are cargo.

Bears D this year has had the odd combo of giving up a lot of points but also a ton of takeaways. Fun to watch at least.

Northerly Island is such a gem. Feels kinda surreal tbh.

This really is comedy and the comments brought me even more laughs. 10/10 thread

Went to Montrose beach and with the naked eye could barely see a faint glow on the horizon. My crew was getting cold around 8, so we called it a night. There was SO MUCH traffic still coming in when we left. I hope it kicks off for all those folks.

Wow!

in a long life filled with saying stupid shit this is may be the stupidest shit he's ever said

Well, one of the positives of daylight saving time ending is getting more use out of my new @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social jacket. I’ve found throwing it over top of my down jacket is a pretty solid combo even down to 30° F or so which is the coldest temps I’ve ridden in with it so far. The fit is 👌🏻

oh my god

Trump is such a bitch

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

Well, looks like I’ll make it to Chicago. Luckily my flight is not cancelled, but is delayed due to the FAA limiting traffic into ORD. United REALLY wants me to know it’s not their fault. They’ve made it clear in all updates that I should blame the FAA.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

I missed the a Chicago sunset tonight, but my descent into Charlotte wasn’t too bad.

Look what my mom found in the attic.

Gestapo running around scanning people's faces while hiding their own. Sounds like its time for us to mask up like its 2020.

Last night's game by the numbers. 6hrs 39min, 609 pitches, Ohtani on base 9 times... just insanity all around.

OMG, I thought Freddie had done it again. Nope! On to the 14th!

Baseball has no halftime show. Baseball needs no halftime show.

The Jays scored how many times that inning?

Fun read while waiting to board a flight.

O’Hare bound on the Blue Line, waiting in a highway median. At least all the slow moving traffic makes me feel better about choosing to use transit.

Yesterday, trump posted an ai-generated video of him dropping tons of liquid shit on Americans, and I honestly can’t think of a more appropriate metaphor for both his presidencies.

Wow! This march in Chicago was over 2 miles long according to Block Club!

Three years in Chicago, but today I felt like a Chicagoan. So proud to call this place home. Inspired to keep up the fight. We. The. People.

Wow, Republicans are outraged at Karoline Leavitt calling half the country d̶e̶p̶l̶o̶r̶a̶b̶l̶e̶s̶ terrorists

This article quotes people from the FDA and HHS, but the current regime has eroded all trust in our government agencies, so honestly I'd rather they quoted someone from elsewhere.

So is this the price you pay to have an armed populace? Are people ok paying this price?

Wow... that editor's note is doing some serious work.

I mean this seriously - if this is the way the federal government treats the states, what is the incentive to participate in the union? We are being invaded, robbed, and assaulted. Where does this end? Nowhere good.

Well, between this and Chicago's water, I guess I'm screwed.

Lee knows this is bullshit. 'Governor Lee says, “if you’re here illegally and and you commit a crime, then obviously ICE is going to be involved...but the effort, the goal, the purpose is to go after crime in the city...if they’re not a criminal element, then they shouldn’t be afraid.”'

I don't understand PCA bunting when Swanson and Shaw are in the lineup after him.

Elimination game... just saying.

Huh, I guess I've been doing city living all wrong.

So when does Willie Castro get a chance at 3B?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. JFC it's really not complicated but here we are.

If you're in Chicago, the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts and Culture has a new exhibit on baseball! Called Pleibol!, it's a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian. Free to visit! nmprac.org/exhibitions/...

October baseball. Let’s go cubs!

The insecurity of these dudes just blows my mind.

I'm curious what an illegal firearm is in a state that has "constitutional carry."

Cannot believe the Bears managed to pull that off. It was ugly AF, but a win is a win.
