The fascinating thing about the Singal stuff is Bluesky was set up with a whole host of customizable features to allow you see what you want and aggressively block out what you don’t…. and people still aren’t happy. A lot of users are on here because they simply crave drama.

A big problem here is a lot of people believe it’s ok to be an antisocial edge lord when they’ve convinced themselves that they’re the good guys.

The bad Tigers are back.

Here’s a fun one: I’ve only seen the final season of Game of Thrones.

Chicago posting.

Baseball!

Leftists stop being ungodly credulous for one goddamn second challenge.

KERRY BONDS!

What did Penn State football do to deserve this

Well then…

I mean, I included your post in a short thread about why Mamdani’s choice to step on a rake in service of making schools a race to the bottom isn’t a great idea. But I’m sure families will be thrilled to have their educational options taken away from them when you wave your MEd at them.

Wow, SHOCKED that this program wasn’t well thought out.

Deplatforming doesn’t actually work if you keep Streisand Effecting everyone you want to see deplatformed.

This is still one of my favorite BlueSkyisms. Like every 5th post is complaining about a random freelance blogger, then people act weird when people try to follow along to figure out what people are even talking about.

Ah yes, so you graduated from an Ed program right around the time when crankery like “balanced literacy” was all the rage…

Brandon Johnson poured gasoline on his political capital and lit it on fire over even proposing vague changes to CPS’s selective schools. Zohran trying the same thing shows me he might not be the political genius he’s touted to be on here…

Today’s mass shooting is from my hometown this time. Great.

The Detroit Tigers are 1-7 since this moment.

I was banned from the Deadspin comment section for comparing their main soccer writer to Steven A. Smith, and somehow didn’t turn into a right wing nutjob.

I get it, but every sandwich shop in the inner ring suburbs have these and they’re so unbelievably trashy.

This seems accurate

Thursday Night Football should exclusively be played by the Jags, Titans, and pre-Burrow Bengals. Trying to play matchups of good teams on short rest just ain’t it.

Bruh…

Have to hand it to everyone involved in this story for behaving in a way that confirms every stereotype I have of Tinley and Orland Park.

So hey, for anyone not still on that other site, I figure I’ll cross-post my “book club” over here too.

So it's the first day of school. Has anyone done a "OMG, school drop off traffic is horrible! Everyone should go to their own neighborhood school. Not me though, but everyone else should!" type of post yet?

Lane Tech’s graduation rituals seem different from those at my high school.

This is the very serious person that the very serious people on this website thinks should represent the northern suburbs of Chicago.

It’s been quite telling how many people (especially people on this site) railed against the CPS decisions made by Rahm and Lori then suddenly went silent once Brandon took office. Almost like the people behind Illinois Families for Public Schools and Raise Your Hand didn’t actually have principles.

Gee, what happened prior to the police opening fire?

is it bad form to give a dead guy a "Fell for it" award, because if not....

Saying this three days after he pushed the city of Chicago toward insolvency just shows how stupid and shallow national politics have become.

Wut?

Yes.

City to suburbs migrations during COVID.

When I get an alert like this on Bluesky is that a lot of people liked one of my posts. On Twitter it’s a sign that a lot of people are mad at me.

There are many reasons to hate the Bears but popularizing the idea of an on-uniform memorial to ownership should be near the top of everyone’s list.

Illinois not having FOID reciprocity with other states is good, actually.

My thing with Lolla is I’ve just accepted it as something for people in their 20s. I can watch it on Hulu now that I’m old.

The article summary in the screenshot is good evidence that journalists should not be allowed to spend significant time on social media.

I was just saying this week that people have kinda memory holed how much Lori’s first campaign was loaded full of generic progressive platitudes. (The clear line between the 1st and 32nd wards in ‘23 will always be funny.)

We’re really going with “Johnson is failing because he’s governed as a ‘centrist’.” Yeah…

It’s so funny when something happens like the president gets caught sending a wax mold of his nutsack to a children hospital and everyone is going ape online but one guy is still posting about like, Medicaid cuts. Yeah we know it’s bad still, take a lap man

I keep seeing people bringing up Walton this week but she lost her general election by almost 20 points to a write-in! The general in a very blue city had 3x the turnout of the primary. She snuck through in a low turnout primary but the problem is she was just unpopular.

You can run from it, but aging into dedicated baseball fandom comes for us all.

Who exactly is the audience for posts like this?

Guys, we should probably let Zohran actually take office and demonstrate that he’s not a complete fuckup before saying stuff like this.

I enjoy how this crowd looks exactly like the stereotype of how you’d expect Ann Arbor NIMBYs to look like.

This is the tour of move that you only think is a good idea if you spend way too much time on Bluesky.
