If you're a Chicagoan, I beg you, read this article. This is one of the most "what the fuck" things I've ever read about the city's laws, and it makes me want to burn down a police station. What the actual fuck is wrong with these psychotic bastards?

Being born Balkan is the greatest fucking thing in the world I love when foreigners learn about the history of my region

First time at the gym in a month, holy moly I forgot the dopamine bliss afterwards.

today JB pritzker did an AMA and predictably ignored highly voted questions about him allowing the illinois state police to beat priests, journalists, regular citizens of conscience in coordination with ICE. I ask that even if you're a JB guy that you consider this carefully in 2028 primaries. TY

For those not be aware, the Chicago Committee on Immigrant & Refugee Rights has a form you can fill out to report potential violations of the Welcoming City Ordinance (i.e., assisiting federal agents w/ immigration enforcement) by CPD officers or other city employees: bit.ly/reportimmviolationschi

Very cool #fabtcg friend made a very cool deep dive on Runeblade aesthetics, check it out

I'm grateful to have @leniann.bsky.social as my alderwoman!

In a better era of American history, Representatives would have been beaten or shot in the streets for proudly signing off on a bill that says "The United States is going to molest children".

Fuck it bring back the death penalty

The show runners are really just getting lazy about it

I'm trying to be better about not posting angry commentary on politics, but it's a little too on the nose to see a billionaire, who'll never have to worry about the cost of literally anything, trying to frighten people away from a more equitable healthcare system by describing the current system.

This is extremely funny to everyone who knows that "traditional" Italian cooking was invented (for the most part) in the 1950s.

Bought a few #fabtcg packs last night to make myself feel better about missing armory again, and we got a big hit!

#fabtcg what hero would Goya have played?

📣📣 ATTENTION TRANSIT RIDERS! I have been endorsed in my race for Congress in Illinois 9th District by two major transit unions representing thousands of our CTA train conductors and maintenance crews (ATU 308) and 10,000 CTA and Pace bus operators (ATU 241)!

Hey #fabtcg folks - I wrote this guide to playing Florian competitively! Check it out and let me know thoughts. The guide covers Midrange and Stack builds, the Cindra, Verdance, and Gravy matchups, strategies for each build, decklists, and how/why to play Florian in the current meta.

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

Back to back firsts in #tft! Ionia feels crazy, getting extra exp is so powerful!

How Serbs see the rest of the Europe 😂

Got my first first-place finish in #tft set 16, and it was with my favorite character! Shadow Isles feels so cool, love the inevitability of stacking souls for AD/AP!

What I hear when ADC players start whining about how underpowered their role is x.com/eastendjoe/s...

Nothing says "good grade in resting while sick" like being 1200/7200 pages into a book right?

Think I'm just done taking family trips. Every year my wife and I come back sick, and that's with being the only ones to ever mask.

There's a lot of cool #fabtcg players but @spidermansion.bsky.social is the coolest for getting me this pin

Heartbreak story: Serbian man in America goes to Vienna, sees Bosnian shop selling burek, feels pang of longing for food from homeland. Burek is mid.

This is why bluesky has impeccable vibes

The Albertina museum's collection is fantastic, seeing Paul Signac's works is always a pleasure, but the state rooms are a reminder of the obscenity of wealth. Seeing the wastefulness of gilded rooms adorned with dozens of masterpieces, whose sole purpose was evening billiards, just feels so gross.

I have been on vacation with my parents for less than two hours and my dad is already sitting at the kitchen table doomscrolling yt shorts, and the content he's seeing is absolute garbage. Never have I wanted to purge all my devices of social media more.

An (English) interview with one of the International Criminal Court judges, on the experience of being sanctioned by the United States for issuing arrest warrants against Israeli officials. archive.ph/d8NmT This is absolutely harrowing, it's the same as living under sanctions in 90s Yugoslavia.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

Today I came across this group of Chicago-based creatives working on their own studio, and checked out their blog www.creatormag.blog I recommend checking them out, I like the perspective they have on our current attention-focused world.

@mozilla.org please I want to give you money for merch T.T

Who needs drugs when you get let old ladies go ahead of you in a grocery store checkout and get a "such a gentleman" 🔥🔥🔥

Universal housing via the Soviet bloc model of prefab housing is an eminently solvable problem, but politicians don't want to take it on because it involves championing the socially icky

@ellybird.bsky.social insane aura to bring Fai to the world championship and get that Phoenix Flame for the last damage in the third match. Might have to build Fai, what a cool showing

I'm so glad that I'm part of the greater Balkan dijaspora because we have some of the funniest racist people in the world, its always shit like "fucking Slovenians never obey traffic signs" or "Montenegrins dont work at noon, they just nap and play trumpet".

Short thread about political polling and @laurafine4congress.bsky.social

I have a hard time verbalizing the despair that comes with being a citizen of two countries and feeling this same anger towards both at once.

Once again I feel like I lucked out. Built Prism last month, and have been learning a lot from the early iterations of Matt's primer. Excited to check out the full thing!

One of the biggest reasons I'm tied to Chicago is just how GREAT the CTA is. The quality of life upgrade of having the train system in the city is unfathomable.

If I ever raise a child this fucking stupid, I'll disown it and claw my name back.

Fantastic news to wake up to, burn in hell you disgusting piece of shit. May you be tortured eternally by the souls of all those who died in the cause of your war profiteering. www.npr.org/2025/11/04/1...

Granted a lot of these guys just say nonsense, but genuinely, what the fuck does that even mean? "I'll impose a tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC" like what? What does that even fucking mean? A tax on specifically NYC out of state property buyers? A fucking background check at every Walmart?

If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

This would sound so much more sincere if Illinois State Police wasn't beating and gassing people protesting the Broadview facility @govpritzker.illinois.gov

That's my Senator!! For all that politics offers hopelessness, seeing guys like Mike Simmons getting results to help people is a huge encouragement!

Friends, you don’t need to punch down on people who are clearly unwell. Including local candidates for office. If someone is harassing or threatening you: Yes, do what you need to protect yourself. If not, show them compassion and leave them alone. Let their words and actions speak for themselves

Just for historical reference, the Milošević Regine in Yugoslavia did the same, approximately a year before its final collapse. On another note, where can I donate to the legal defense fund @katmabu.bsky.social?

I love waiting for a machine at the gym for ten minutes, because the guy sitting on it is having a conversation on the phone and not actually using it 🙃
