girl what

It’s hard to imagine any technology that has ever fucked it this badly, and purely through arrogance, it’s like if the people who invented the car decided to showcase its utility by driving over your family dog and then backing up and doing it again, and also the car sucked and was bad

I'll Grant You This. Wednesday's sunset in Chicago's Grant Park.

His great grandpappy was on the Dawes roll, and he’s Cherokee but somehow supports Bibi’s genocidal regime. H’ok

🤔

Rare Rainbow. Today's Chicago sunrise with rain in the west and a crack in the east horizon provided the light on the first day of June 2026.

We are driving up to St. Louis for the ballgame tonight, and I agreed to listen to an audiobook. My brand of ADHD doesn’t allow me to read anymore, but I still have a strong preference for non-fiction. Listening to the voice acting on this fiction book has me figuratively clawing at my ears.

There is a new breakfast burrito place in Hot Springs. If I lived out west, I’d be 50% papas y huevos by volume. So naturally I got fat kid excited. Excitement was short-lived—their burritos have tater tots. 🤮 It’s the soft opening still, so maybe they’ll see the light and do a different 🥔.

I was 15

There’s no avoiding this mess for necessary errands in LR.

nb: I’m not a huge Star Wars fan. I wasn’t raised on the movies for some odd reason. I do like SW now, but I do not have the stripes to be deemed a “fan.” With that out of the way, I thought The Mandalorian & Grogu was cute. My SW-loving gf wanted more character development. 🤷 We got cute pins.

The fuck, “mister Kroger”

Morning Star. Today over Chicago's Adler Planetarium.

I wasn’t alive for the bicentennial, but mom said the marketing $$$ blitz was nothing like it is for 250. I do like new flavors of junk food but branding them “America 250” is fuckin’ weird.

Do I want to work (more) remotely for a week so I can justify to no one but myself that I have to somehow *earn* a gastronomic trip back home to IL for funsies; or— Am I homesick and just want comfort, and working would make such a trip worse not better? Suspect it’s the latter.

I want to bitch about shoes I ordered not arriving yesterday. I saw that they were on Hwy 9, then off of 5–rurally, a stone’s throw from me, and FedEx decided nah, they can go back to Mabelvale for the night. Then I realized I’m wanting to bitch about my shoes’ rideshare to my personal address. 🫠

Hey dad! One of your lights is burnt out on the passenger side! “Oh yeah, I’ve replaced it a few times, bulbs keep zapping out, sometimes I will smell something burning…” So now I know I need to scale back on the cost of my next car to help him get his (or his fixed.) Parenting parents, right?

Today in 1930, the Merchandise Mart opened and became the world's largest building. It was originally built to centralize the wholesale operations of Marshall Field & Co. It was so large, it had its own zip code.

Sorry for the language, but when I read “all tangled up” my mind autocompleted with “In a pile of fuck” *shudder*

• slice of some overpriced artisan bread • 1.33 slices of Swiss cheese singles • small avocado, fork-mashed, with garlic sea salt Arranged cheese on bread, threw it in air fryer (mine has an “air broil” option) until cheese had browning and toast was crisp, then avocado. My current fixation.

It’s World Press Freedom Day. It took me 4 yr to get my press credentials. I was 70 yrs old. I’ve never been so proud of anything, and I’ve had a lot of accomplishments in my life. If you see someone with a press pass and a camera, thank them. Bluesky needs to add more text lines for reasons

Watching the Cubs drop back to back games for which I was in attendance is…ugh

That man in that big house is not worth jail. Father Time will collect his debt soon enough. He could just be shuffling around his resort every day eating checkers but noooooooooo

“That middle-aged man has an absolute bakery back there,” said Harlan Davis, 33, echoing the sentiments of 340 million Americans who could not look away from the prodigious dumper.

I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages! If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is

Still raining here and every drop is so welcome. I keep standing in my doorway like Treebeard, raising up my hands in thankfulness for the refreshment! The trees are, indeed, glowing. #Tolkien

My toxic flaw is assuming everything is walkable. Wdym I can’t walk from my hotel .6 miles to the ONT car center? Too industrial too busy say the comments Man, I “walked” it on Google street view and sure, many lanes of traffic as it’s right off I-10, but sidewalks! Crossings! Am I deluded?

Done

Fighting Nazis from Alma on the Internet wasn’t on my bingo card… …ever, but definitely not today

My favorite part is that a healthy chunk of Tom’s campaign donations are coming from a PAC that Palantir pours into. So someone needs to shove a mic in Tom’s face just to watch him wiggle like the weasel he is

It does. bsky.app/profile/why....

Not sure if this will be cropped when I post 🤷 god do I detest Tom Cotton and anyone who dares carry water for him.

I’ve wondered why more parking lots don’t have these as well. That’s insane capacity.

I’m still salty she platformed that BS again. Particularly after having read more about this proposed quartz mining near Paron. SHS could be doing…well, anything…but she could be doing so much more to keep this the natural state. And just isn’t.

I see Daniela at KATV is back on her bullshit in cahoots with the Huckabeast.

I don’t think being awake for 24 hours, and deciding today is the day I troll on the hellsite, is a solid gameplan. And yet…

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

These surgeries are out of hand and making people’s mouths way too wide for their face, because wdym outer lip creases touching near the masseters is an acceptable outcome???

Haha false alarm, turns out she bought the NG and not LP version and refuses to load it back up with me to return today!

Fun fact: one of my family names is Magyar, anglicized to Martin. My Magyars came to Iowa from Hungary. Orban can go directly to the hell I don’t believe in.

Ah yes, my part of the state. I guess you could call these foothills? Our property is lousy with quartz. I’ll never forgive Trump voters.

Watch your prices in the big box stores. We need a new grill. The one we got is on the website, available to pick up today, priced $679 sale $629. Spouse wouldn’t let me preorder until she looked for herself. I didn’t go. I’m a weirdo and don’t want floor models. She bought the floor model.

Meanwhile Arkansas has over 2.5 million acres under the control of the Forest Service. “Natural State” no more, between this fool and the one in the governor’s mansion.

Our roommate: “Oh, is it already the end of the first inning?” 🏀 #GoBlue
