I don't know what else you can say or do but hope that god is real and that these people will burn and toil in Hell for eternity for what they are doing.

Like what the hell else do you call this but terrorism. This is right next to an elementary school

So that’s the plan: make nazi trophies that your grandpa who fought in the war against the Nazis would be too embarrassed to display in his collection

I have had just about enough of the demented logic of cops “protecting” protestors by beating the shit out of them for one lifetime

So “you come through me” was actually directed at protestors, message received @govpritzker.illinois.gov

One day these fascists will pay for what they’ve done and these videos will be exhibit A in the tribunal

Has anyone ever tried launching a microblogging platform without revealing their identity? Like the bitcoin guy? They’ll still suck at moderation but it’ll feel like courting the whims of a mysterious deity instead of confronting the extremely embarrassing ideology of silicon valley doofuses

We’re getting rid of leaf blowers by eating 50 leaves a day each. Get out there

Bandcamp has got to turn off those “open thy wallet” notifications on the day before Bandcamp Friday. Like there’s no way in hell I’m buying this today stop asking

Reeling at the knowledge that the everything bagel was only invented in the 70s-80s when all the constituent parts were bagel mainstays for a century or more. It’s like if we’d spent decades going to McDonalds for a Ketchup or a Beef before some plucky cook realized the Burger

St. Flumbo’s University hanging a banner in the rec center for their 2036 NCAA tournament appearance where they won the play-in to be a 48 seed and then got beat by Duke so bad that half the team came home in a hefty bag

“Gosh I could go for a filling yet inexpensive hot lunch that can be easily held in one hand” The humble shawarma:

Historically speaking “everyone’s mad at the mods” has always been an indicator of robust platform health

5 hours in, Silksong feels better than Hollow Knight in basically every conceivable way

Prosecution of every ICE agent is the floor

Pharloom is like America for bugs (everything costs money and sucks)

I really need to know the connotation of not seeing the Union Stockyards and what the equivalent would be today

Thinking about fragmenting my psyche into 4-7 parts

you shouldn't be able to do sports gambling on your phobe. you should have to go somewhere gross and talk to weird alcoholics if you want to do that

Finished Hollow Knight

Look my political goals are pretty reasonable for one lifetime: ride a train from Chicago to Peoria, and the total abolition of the US Senate

I keep thinking about this in terms of a quadrant map where one axis is “potential for hallucination” and the other is “severity of consequences of hallucination” The ideal application is in the bottom left but literally everything we’re forced to hear about daily is in the top right

Ja’Mal Green campaign bus horror ride

Nothing like an agonizing presentation on “ethical AI” during which we all got a company-wide email about layoffs to close out a Tuesday

Stephen Miller is definitely the guy who offs himself in a bunker as the Soviets close in but Hegseth seems more like the guy to do it on accident in his office on a random Thursday

Just saw an article refer to non-Chicago Illinois as the state’s “southwest corner” which even as someone who has softened on “downstate” nomenclature I think is pretty egregious

You know this really does help me feel less hopeless by comparison

Whatever man I’m reading about the Chicago Ottawa and Peoria Railway and getting mad about that instead

Old times political cartoonists would have had a field day with the visuals of Pritzker’s “you come through me” rhetoric as the enemy quite easily passes directly through him

How come every time someone proposes a multi-unit building we have to hear about the nimby crusade against it for ten years but when some rich asshole wants to erase 8 homes for one mansion it’s crickets until the demolition fence is up

Kind of want to put this bit on a billboard somewhere (or, idk, replace every web ad everywhere with this text) bsky.app/profile/edzi...

Dreamed I found a deep drainage culvert behind a strip mall on the NW side full of thousands of large, spiny, horrible-looking mollusk shells. I tried to google an explanation and all I could find was a WBEZ article stating that one unlucky boy accidentally killed all these “crinoids” in 1954

The rise of "yap" as a verb has been challenging for those of us who remember Yap as the Micronesian island where they used 8000 lb stone discs as currency for some reason

Well I didn't find the precise year my building was built but I did find the names and torrid marital histories of every previous owner going back to 1986 via deed transfers so that's something at least

People who know city records: is there a more accurate way to determine when a particular building was actually *built* than just looking at when the building permit was issued?

Will I still enjoy Expedition 33 if I haven’t played the previous 32 installments

Just watched a Vine compilation and I’m not nostalgic for vine anymore. We were not funny last decade

Gurtis, the AI boy who loves Walmart: Hello Twenty Twenty Five, do you miss the Walton family's fish❓ me: if you walk with enough confidence nobody will notice the set of Olaf from Frozen sheets you have tucked under your hoodie. this technique also works for groceries, stationery, toys and DVDs

My hometown Walmart opened around 2002 when I was in the junior high band. They had an opening ceremony at like 7am with all us kids there to play the star spangled banner or whatever and one of the colorguard girls accidentally obliterated an aisle sign with her flag

i like how often we gotta be like "did the guy who shot a bunch of strangers support a culture of fear and guns or free medicine and housing"

I feel like this happened last year too, where “perfect” summer weather dragged on interminably into fall and the lack of variety started eroding my mental health. Proof I could never live in LA

This also applies to written music, imo. It’s both a language and a mathematical framework that refuses to use recognizable conventions of either, because dusty old musicians built it out of vibes and Italian words

It must be so embarrassing as an NFL team to go through an entire season with a tie on the end of your record. Here’s the asterisk for the time we did football so bad and weird that it failed to work as a sport

God I love watching overburdened tacticool failsons getting their ankles broken by a normal guy

I keep hoping this is one of those cases where a person with dementia suddenly regains lucidity right before they die

Do the Masons still have anything to do with Masonic Hospital or are they just coasting on that sweet level 1 trauma center publicity
