I like when my cat uses his lil tail as a sleep mask

hyper-specific northside Chicago take: Pauline's ain't the hidden gem it's made out to be. Alexander's, Little Corner, & Cozy Corner are all better diner options (and maybe even cheaper). Not trying to hate on a small business, but I was unimpressed after hearing so many good things. Thick bacon tho

MONKEY MURDER MOVIE

ICE murders people

poring over cookbooks like a fuckin wizard studying tomes

You know what? Not everything scales. And that’s okay. Better than okay. Write poems that reach a few people, maybe. Then write some more poems.

Maturity is when Maladroit becomes your second favorite Weezer album

Perform empathy. Please. Perform the fuck out of it. It's so good to act with kindness. I hope it penetrates to a place where you feel it, too, but if you must act some way, act the right way. I'm not here to judge your authenticity, I just want you to be kind, thoughtful, and mortified by meanness.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Not sure when the “You are entering Free Rogers Park” sign went up on the Touhy Ave metra overpass but it’s pretty recent.

Sometimes when you're talking to someone about their thoughts on a movie, they watched it while scrolling the entire time. Remember that.

god bless the lyft driver who plays no music and speaks no words

co-worker told me one of my songs was in their top 100 for the year 🥹🥹🥹

can we get a hell yes, Chicago??!

not really a Monopoly guy, but I do login to my bank account everyday hoping for a bank error in my favor

this man crosses state lines and becomes unrecognizable to me

every episode of "I Shouldn't Be Alive" is either 1) i survived despite my own stupidity or 2) i survived despite God's best efforts

finally went to the Halsted Halloween parade last night and goddamn I love Chicago so much.

reminder- the first three tracks of Rain Dogs by Tom Waits are Halloween songs

the ICE agent will have PTSD after Chicago the ICE agent will smell a pizza and puke their whole stomach lining the ICE agent will hear a train and hallucinate a whistle the ICE agent will see a Cubs logo and be struck blind by shame

I got a cool ghost tattoo

We will find out today! Please help my wife with the bills, if so.

This is one of the few times I have ever interacted with @yoadrianididit.bsky.social in real life and it did not disappoint!

The existential question: Does a song need a second part?

I hate to get sentimental so early, but shout-out @thecorlew.bsky.social. I am beyond lucky to have a homie like him and we are all better off with him in our lives.

I saw it in theaters and enjoyed it. More of an 'inspired by' than a remake, but better for it imo

so excited to play another show! Chicago, this is free and done early, so come out!

this diaper commercial has a godawful cover of Stand By Me

The more things I've made, the less I've been interested in publicly criticizing the things that other people make, because once you make a few things you start to understand what a miracle it is that anything gets made at all

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.

A bunch of ants

i believe being a fan of jam bands should immediately disqualify you from being a paid music critic

i am a human who saw Weapons and enjoyed it.

Primarying both Schumer and Jeffries from the left is an important and strategically worthwhile political project.

Behind The Scenes of a new horror short, filming out of Chicago, “The Angler.”

stranger things season five

When I say you should block right wing trolls, I mean the people posing as libs who want to throw trans people under the bus to lose more elections. There is nothing there, nothing to engage with. You can just punt those 100 follower accounts into obscurity with one simple trick.

Miss Rachel continues to have more of a moral backbone than 99% of public figures
