Passes the "plainly state 'Abolish ICE' challenge". Seems pretty easy, but you'd be surprised by how many people can't quite pull it off.

There’s that weasel phrase: “abolish Trump’s I C E” instead of “abolish I C E” If they say the former, they are trying to play you. Don’t let these fuckers get away with it.

I know the Twin Cities are on another level but when these sort of school ICE look-outs sprang up around here in the fall, we had parents volunteering to take corners in the dads WhatsApp group that primarily existed to run fantasy sports and plan things like chili cook-offs.

Should probably just make better posts like this one.

Apparently the owner of Beck's and Toons is also anti-bike lane. From my firsthand experience of biking down Clybourn multiple times a week, I think if Beck is concerned about traffic congestion he should not operate a business right next door to Pequod's.

Bears fans preparing to riot but the stadium puts Serengeti's "Dennehy" on the PA and they all calm down instantly and begin milling about harmlessly. "Keep the juice in your chops," they mutter to each other, absently if still somewhat warmly. "Keep the juice in your brats."

Extremely niche Chicago post: the new California bus route extension is incredibly awesome 😎

Coming down from the Northside to join the @chicagobikesox.com / @bridgeportkidicalmass.org family White Sox ride. Hoping to do it all again next year!

90% because I missed the whistle one and the new judge one. Alas!

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

Suppose 17 minute brown line headways during the heart of rush hour are a slight improvement over just completely broken trains. Still, eager to get back to my bike if the city will ever do anything about road conditions.

They Are Gutting A Body Of Water from Your Eyes

Plenty of time to have a quick happy hour at Ceres before needing to meet with the judge!

Might be a product of me reading the entirety of Berserk in September, but watching The Substance for the first time last night was really giving me some Berserk vibes at certain moments.

MORE: Plaintiffs in this lawsuit just filed notice of an alleged violation. They say they did so w/out conferral out of concern the feds are “simply ignoring the court’s TRO.”

Signs the bartender has other things they want to be doing on a Monday night: starts playing "Grave of the Fireflies" on the TV behind the bar.

Basically done with Twitter after seeing this.

Sounds like an evil David Lynch

Honored to make an appearance as "Dad wearing a Dennehy shirt"

@jonbois.bsky.social watching football

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Yeah yeah, I'd like to see him participate in a 12-person fantasy football auction draft while holding a baby. (I eventually came in last place that season)

Lincoln Square Road Closure and Accompanying Comments From The Local Facebook Page (April 2025)

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

The people whining about how they’re getting yelled at for driving a Tesla should try biking for transportation so they can see how you get treated when people actually hate you on the road

New station update! The amazing ChirpRadio (@chirpradio.bsky.social) from Chicago, IL Chirp had been a station I'd wanted to add forever, but couldn't. Until I mentioned something here on Bluesky and their awesome team made it happen! Big thanks to Shawn and Brian for helping me out.

I am fascinated by Elon Musks decision to make sure every picture has his son riding on his shoulders. It’s such a specific projection of masculinity.

i admit i live in an echo chamber of leftist politics, the only exception being when i hear things said by the president, the next president, the supreme court, members of congress, people on the news, my family, or people i encounter in my daily life.

Your political strategy cannot require message discipline from the entire country
