It's been a terrible week, but at least Dick Cheney died.

The video now rapidly circulating (which also does not have a date or time marked) does not blur this poor woman's face. Here's one that does: wgntv.com/news/chicago...

The richest man on the planet starved 600K people to death simple because he could. No other reason.

Read the full thread. No shockers, but it's important to know.

This comes on the same day they're trying to pin felony charges on a guy who threw a sandwich at an ICE agent in DC.

How is this real?

There is a sweet, overpowering joy that the day Dick Cheney's evil, black heart beat its last, everyone's talking about a sandwich.

A thread that starts with "Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy" and just keeps getting better is a true joy.

War is Hellmann's.

BRB, need to test something on the Pompidou website.

oh I'm sorry, I thought this was a Great Gatsby themed party

If we kick Trump out of the White House, we can have the greatest "Odd Couple" remake in history.

I think the reason I'm a good friend is that I don't demand my friends give a shit about my kids. My friends are adults and can like kids or not like kids (or just not like MY kids) as they see fit.

What type of lasers do pirates use in lithotripsy of kidney stones? Yo-ho-Ho:YAG I will be telling a slightly modified version of this joke around Christmas. Thank you for your time.

I just told my kids a bedtime story about a fish who spelled his name "ghoti" who became friends with a bison from upstate New York who would intimidate any bison from upstate New York that intimidated bison from upstate New York. I then said to sleep furiously. God help me if I created linguists.

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!” Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

I didn't even know Columbus Day was here; so I've decided I discovered it.

Don Craven was the guy I'd call 20 years ago to talk me through FOIA disputes and Open Meetings Act violations. He'd take the time to explain the law precisely and exactly to a dumb kid in his 20s just because I was a journalist and he cared about journalism. This is a disaster.

I’m going to take some time off this app, so any DMs are going to go unseen. But that’s only like two people who DM me (looking at you, Bill) and they both know how to get in touch with me other ways.

So just to be clear, we all haven't forgotten that the current President whipped up a mob and tried to have them murder his political enemies at the Capitol, right?

Oh yeah, I can just DO that.

if u see this quote with the energy u bring to Bluesky.

I literally spent 4 years running an anti-corruption walking tour but this administration has broken me. I want to fucking unleash Chicago. Gerrymander the state blue. Ghost payrolls? Fine, just bring in the votes. Alderman wants new basement floors in for an aye? I’ll spackle the fucker myself.

This photo looks like the album cover for a string quintet that plays classical covers of modern pop hits.

Insanity inducing number of reports and sightings rolling in, including—you guessed it—agents over at 31st/Cicero again. A car window smashed near Roosevelt and Cicero. Sightings in Wheeling, southwest side of Chicago, more in Cicero, Melrose Park, Blue Island. The ring of fire is burning

Two of my wife’s friends are classical musicians who, as their gift, offered to play us down the aisle to any song. We walked up to the Magnetic Fields’ “Book of Love” and recessed to Bright Eyes’ “First Day of My Life,” a decision I never regretted. Until today. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yScT...

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

I want to print this panel up and frame it on my desk, but I think the researchers I work with might get pissy. Full comic: www.smbc-comics.com/comic/invest...

A federal immigration agent fatally shot a man in northwest suburban Franklin Park Friday morning after the agency says the man tried to flee a traffic stop and struck the officer with his vehicle.

“I am so sick of all the software I use for work functioning efficiently and meeting all my needs!” *email from software company about plans to incorporate AI* “Thank god.”

I can’t believe we’re only 233 days into this presidency.

How come none of you people told me Wonder Woman had a flying kangaroo in the 1940s? I thought we were friends.

so the president who is intentionally tanking the economy, ordering the military invasion of american cities and indiscriminately sending innocent people to foreign slave labor camps is also in the child rape brag book of the worlds most notorious pedophile? is all that correct?

Hey @blagojevism.bsky.social it now exists in the flesh

If a group of consenting adults gets together to do each other’s nails, is it poly-emery?

Any questions?

Honestly, in a very very small way, I sort of blame Batman. Like “unaccountable masked terror” has been presented as acceptable law enforcement to kids at very formative ages (myself included) for almost 90 years now.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

One MeV is a billion times stronger than one meV and I now hate science.

I don’t know if the couple next to me at the coffee shop is on a job interview or a date.

one morning, when gregor samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a very hungry caterpillar

There’s a dude at the coffee shop wearing a bathrobe and I love it.

The Chicago Tribune is purposely ignoring that ICE will be arresting nothing but law abiding and productive people whose families will miss them, terribly. Which makes those who wrote this editorial pretty awful people.

10 PRINT “What would you like to talk about?” 20 INPUT X 30 IF X = a single goddamn thing to do with artificial intelligence THEN 40 40 PRINT “Go fuck yourself” 50 GOTO 40

I appreciate that my daughter loves Wonder Woman but I’m getting a bit tired of having to play Hippolyta.
