This feels like a crime. Why would they need to expire other than for cruelty?

Dang this program is actually cool as hell

Watched this again last night. 5/5 watch everytime

Just found out I've been accused of "manufacturing" documents by the CTA. I don't know what I did to this agency, but they hate my guts. This is a real attorney sending a message to the IL AG's office. All I can do is laugh at this. It's an extra special and comical agency

The couples that commute together on the train are adorable

This may be the only time I haven't seen vehicles parked in the Kinzie bike lane

"If you can not fit on the train, there is another one directly behind me" We can all read the sign that says the next one is in 8 minutes

You'll never believe that it's 95% paint, has physical separation, and is mostly on arterials youtu.be/4K-Hp9wf8P0?...

How am I supposed to go to work in this weather?

Ald. Daniel La Spata (1st) convinced the City Council's Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety he chairs to let Chicagoans use their cell phones to essentially become "snitches" and provide the city with recorded evidence of bus, bike lane and crosswalk parking violations.

It feels amazing outside

Bad Bunny personally requested this Chicago conductor for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. blockclubchi.co/4bKoVDo

Seconding. Fun game if you want to do an at home speed run of the system

Salivating over this again (and the flag entry above)

Having an orange album day. Post some of the best orange albums

If you put bike lanes everywhere in the city, it stops being viewed as a symbol of gentrification. They stop becoming an "amenity" that brings better personal safety and higher quality of life. If one person said a new road with speed bumps would bring gentrification, they'd sound ridiculous.

Does anyone have GRE study resources they found helpful and would recommend?

Commenting on energy injustice is now the floor for any halftime act.

If you liked the bad bunny halftime show, may I recommend Chuwi? youtu.be/r3ZPhIZ6_bM?...

Wild concept how good orchestration can improve your performance

Microsoft Copilot AI ad for the equivalent of using the filter button. Gonna kms

Today it was signal clearance given to a Linden-bound purple waiting at Jarvis which did not wait for the Howard-bound Red Line to pull in before departing so now we all get to wait 15 minutes for the next one. Unforced error to save at best, 45 seconds.

every year i make a 'super bowl advertisement' bingo card for my friends. in these trying times,,, here's this year's:

Accidentally called it the cuck seat on the feedback form. They're not going to know what they're supposed to clean

I'm rating all of the national anthems I hear at the 2026 Winter Olympics 🥇🥈🥉 1. Italy - Il Canto degli Italiani Light, royal march-esque, proper use of dynamics. Fails to evolve into something exceedingly grand. 3/5

We need ALL of #BikeChi to come out for the Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Complete Streets Monday 2/9 at 1pm. We've been keeping close tabs on our haters and we know they're planning to pack this meeting. Let's show them whose streets these are. Feedback: airtable.com/appzWPBWupXr...

Legislators are very horny for autonomous vehicles this session

Sen. Simmons filed a bill (SB3679) to establish a pilot program for an intercity bus network that is free ilga.gov/Legislation/...

Sen. Ram Villivalam has filed a bill (HB 3419) to ensure that at least one board member on the NITA and service board is a person with a disability who uses the system. ilga.gov/Legislation/...

I must send too many emails. I left a voicemail and concluded it with "Thanks, Nik"

Saw the "training train" operating on the Brown/Purple this morning

BREAKING: The Trump administration repeatedly said the aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. New docs show the real motivation was to get alleged squatters. And the landlord and manager helped them. www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Pro Tip: Do not fall for this CTA train operator statement “If you can’t get onto the train, step back, there is another one directly behind me”

Did anyone get a copy of the 2026 menu funds packet yet?

Always a good day when the red seats shows up on the UP-N

while anthropic secretly buys and destroys millions of books in hidden warehouses, let it be known that human staff at @archive.org carefully scan physical media by hand as always and there's literally a daily livestream because the process is so wonderful to watch!!!

I was looking up a route to an appointment today when I noticed that Google maps now provides info about the kinds of bike lanes on your route. Not sure what their criteria is, but it’s an interesting way to note the failures of Chicago’s “bike grid”.

Babe wake up. It's time for your daily dose of Howard yard incompetence
