A little late to the party, but this needs to be the absolute minimum for D’s going forward.

Florida's economy works by converting pension funds into real estate speculation & medical debt. I'm impressed it's lasted as long as it has

Canonically, these are what unicorns poop out.

Yeah, but Michael Richards did do that awkward commercial for the Confederacy.

I demand the lab grown beef tube that I can turn on and off like a soft serve machine.

We just were not ready for this in ‘93. Still goes incredibly hard.

@madopal.bsky.social here we go again.

If I can pick anyone living or dead it would be either Harry Dean Stanton or David Lynch.

Today’s Chicago Pokémon.

Toilet of Damocles

Gen X is the “pull up the ladder once you’re in the boat” generation and we deserve to be skipped over for leadership and generational respect.

So many of the old British punks (from Lydon on down) ended up as Brexiteers. There’s a GenX cynicism that - paradoxically - leads a lot of us to become marks for vice signalers

fire us into the sun

Everybody loves Da Pope

the poisoned chalice of social media gave us a sort of low-level telepathy, an ability to see someone's thoughts in real time

I hope JD Vance's next meeting is with Jerry Reinsdorf

Brilliant move to force China to shift its naval focus away from Taiwan I guess.

I LOVED being the department’s special lil’ dude when I was in software marketing. The ladies never forgot my birthday and threw me a G-rated bachelor party lunch whee they wore fake mustaches.

I do think that the remedy to most of the ills and excesses of late stage capitalism is ESOPS.

Somehow this ends up being about Arnold Palmer’s penis. “It was like a pale sturgeon! The other golfers, I’m telling you, they would have liked to have an electric gate keeping that away from them in the clubhouse locker room.”

Computer… pin skeet to the wall with a railgun.

Brandis: Steffany, you smiled really big when he said 126 [new ADU] applications just recently. Steffany: It means that we're going to have more Chicagoans. I love Chicago. I think it's the greatest city in the world, and I want there to be more of us.

New Arlo Parks accompanied by the first morning that feels like an honest Spring. This fucks.

Why in the name of all that is holy am I getting served paid advertorials from the Free Press on LinkedIn?

You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like…

Oh god, The Daily Mail UK’s going to break a story that one of Bondi’s rescue dogs enjoys dressing up as a voluptuous cat, aren’t we?

Atari Futurism Now.
