Could write this about any of several locations around the city (the Ashland & IPR Starbucks comes to mind), but as long as we prioritize to the "but my vehicle has rights!" crowd, there is no solution to this problem!! Oh well this is just how we live!!!

🙄🙄 Not improved frequencies Eliminating slow zones BRT Rent a cops?! I'm tired of this

I think I have no stranger danger skills because I'd be like omg thanks

Moulin Rouge continues to slap. Rated Q also continues to slap.

Hi Music Box expert here! This is not funny, theaters only do this when they're in extreme distress.

I saw a resident fall out of an open second story window at their facility on Sheridan while I was on a run in 2018. So... I find this one easy to believe.

Chicago has been inching in this direction but Johnson has been directly responsible for almost none of it. Too busy appointing his cronies to the CTA presidency I guess.

I walked into the bathroom the other day and felt like I'd moved through a portal to a new land. Lovely update! And maybe as an added treat NO FAKE COCKROACHES AT HALLOWEEN THIS YEAR??? 😭

I had a funny interaction once with a cyclist who said he knew I was "serious" because I was wearing a helmet on a divvy. I think this is strange--if I know I'm going to be cycling, I do bring my helmet, but the convenience of divvy is that you can take it unexpectedly. It's a personal choice.

Make your way to Jackson Park for real!!!

🚨HUGE (to me) NEWS 🚨 My husband and I were just lamenting how difficult it is to get from Montrose to the divvy at Horner when you're on a bike and we open an email 20 min later to see @ward33chicago.bsky.social announced a raised bike lane connection right there thanks to participatory budgeting!

Emma Mitts Walter Burnett Jr. 🤝 making sure no bike lanes get built in humboldt park

Does anyone know if you can see the baby rhino yet at Lincoln Park Zoo? I know it's not going to be publicly viewable for the first couple weeks.

Someone on a call just referred to email as snail mail (as opposed to meeting live/messaging). I'm floored.

Why aren't there ultra famous magicians anymore where is the David Blaine/Copperfield/Criss Angel of our times

What are the chances I can attach a bike trailer to my road bike. I'm considering options for driving like ...never and have no cargo bike storage space in my building.

It makes me so happy when every baseball diamond is being used at Horner. The park is so full. I just love seeing people use our parks!

Another semi got sardine canned at Irving Park and the highway. The next mayor to run on banning semis gets my vote.

Storefront theatre should be UNESCO protected.

I just got a bonkers email from my HSA custodian (HealthEquity). Basically if you don't opt out by May 30 for an "enhanced" interest rate, your account will transition you automatically. Nice, an enhanced rate! But what's the fine print?

I have a Friday Morning Movie Club with two friends. We wake up at like 5AM to watch a movie before work. It's honestly so nice and it feels like I'm getting away with something even though today I was back at my house and online by 8AM.

Mine and my culture vulture bestie's hottest Chicago theater take is that the only shows worth seeing at Goodman are on the small stage. Oscar Wao had an understudy tonight and he crushed. Staging was wonky for a thrust stage but a great show nonetheless.

These alcohol delivery drivers do absolutely whatever they want. This is Irving Park and Ashland during RUSH HOUR but fuck everyone else I guess.

Queers! At the PWHL game

It has been so quiet without IL-09 discourse.

I have so many questions but first is why is there a semi on California

A key part of my productivity is utilizing the time on my microwave when I'm cooking something to clean up the kitchen. I'm always like "oh I'm not going to get anything done in two minutes" and a lot of the time I actually end up able to clean up most of the mess.

Just shared the good word of @nikhunder.com 's bus stop reduction plan with someone on the bus who was complaining about how often the bus stopped

I have to watch a series of workplace safety videos for being part of the emergency management team and in the eye impalement video, makeup/SFX are TOO GOOD 🫣

what a great way to spend $15

The funniest possible thing Miguel could do right now is host a shredding event for all of Andrade's flyers.

Cook county voters are going to regret not choosing Kaegi very quickly.

These people, led by @carlosrosa.bsky.social, are despicable.

Not the IL dept. of labor advocating for fair pay with an AI image 💀

I picked up a library book, dropped off my bike for repair, and voted this afternoon: the leftist agenda.

I kinda think it's unhinged to be a canvasser, see someone carrying their mail-in ballot to the polling place, and ask if they voted for your candidate. I did not vote for their candidate. And then they had to see me on the way out as well. Odd interaction overall!!!

I have officially saved $4K using the library 💅🫡

They're expecting you to be moving shortly in the standing momentarily for signal clearance chat.

Woke up to my balcony couch on my neighbor's fence. I could have sworn my hatches were batten but 🤷‍♀️ this wind is wild.

Chicago's Finest

Dear Chicago biking friends, I am a filthy casual, mostly divvy rider, and the bike I own has had a flat tire for a couple years and I want a tune up but know nothing. Where should I bring it? @babski.bsky.social do I remember correctly that you work at a bike shop?

So what's Andrade's stance on waste? Because this is 11 different mailers since I last checked my mail Thursday. This is fucking unhinged. This guy has done more for this re-election campaign than anything in my district during his tenure. Vote Miguel, y'all lmao

I'm 0/4 with cars actually stopping for me in the crosswalk today, even at one crossing with the fishing light system which I do usually find helpful.

I spent time in Sedona this weekend and I really like that Sedona has a shuttle. It seems underused however--the traffic is terrible for such a small town.

The photographer taking this picture accidently knocked over a bike locked to a bike rack and Bradley Whitford straightened it up. A transit-oriented man of the people.

Does anyone know how the lines have been at O'Hare slash if TSA pre check is still operational? Flying out tomorrow around 3PM.

Everything I've learned about the Battle of Agincourt is because I'm married to a man.

Uncommon reason to vote for Michael Frerichs again as IL state treasurer: his official Treasurer update emails are personable, unhinged delights.

I was going to buy Pick 'Em tickets for the Hawks this year but given the recent behavior of the NHLers on the USMNT, I'm making a late new years resolution to only monetarily support women's sports in 2026.

In every scene of this promo, cops are directly in the way of people using the train.
