the animations have gotten much better for those dancing dudes but there's still no stranger moment than the Oregon State one murdering the Loyola one

Not that any of us needed it but I genuinely appreciate him creating a permission structure for throwing a weeklong rager once he kicks the bucket

Caroline Harvey is the 2026 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winner. The Wisconsin senior is a three-time All-American as of today, Olympic MVP, gold medalist, two-time national champion and is now the 7th winner of the Patty Kaz from the Badgers.

Trump has not set foot in a commercial airport in at least 30 years. He does not understand how hardened airline passengers have become. They just want to get through security to enjoy a $25 gin & tonic at 8:15am. You cannot stop them with threats of violence.

This is completely psychotic. He’s just a guy. And they’ve turned the full power of the nation against him because they fucked up their cleansing operation with him so badly.

Seen tacked to a community board on my walk

I say this as a devoted Wisconsin Badgers fan: Minnesota, UMD, UConn, somebody, anybody. One of you, please get your shit together in the next year so we don’t get this same matchup for the 5th year in a row in 2027.

i have to concede: that's very funny

Happy #LetterboxdFriday y’all

Here's the thing: there is no going back to a different era of Twitter. This doesn't replace it, Threads doesn't replace it, Twitter doesn't replace it. That era is dead, no return, it was a very fun 5-10 year window or so that dragged on past its prime until it dropped off a cliff.

It’s officially spring, Metra forces are leaf blowing four months’ worth of rock salt off the platforms

Working through my grief

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes orcs

I still can't believe this

I’ll always remember Project Hail Mary as the movie where I saw someone smuggle an entire bottle of mustard into the theater and squirt it on a bunch of tiny cocktail franks.

Same

So the ICE episode of The Pitt aired tonight and guess what? The entire storyline is about how ICE is bad! Just like how earlier this season they depicted AI as bad! This is why you don’t make snap judgments about things you haven’t seen, because it makes you look dumb!

i always respected any tv that housed composite inputs on the front of the box. this is known as The People's Input

"Let me see what you have-"

I genuinely do not understand what the argument is for “actually Bush was a worse president than Trump” now that Trump has started his own unprovoked war in the Middle East. You can still hate GWB! He still sucked! Trump sucking more doesn’t change that!

The shittiest thing about this is that when Wisconsin loses early I basically can’t watch any more tournament games without getting mad so, uh, enjoy the rest of the tournament, friends who cheer for good basketball teams and/or have healthier emotional coping skills

Well fuck

This is such a weird way to talk about most of these places, which are not small-ish cities unto themselves but wealthy, close-in suburbs of regional megacities. Alpharetta, for example, is directly north of Atlanta and made entirely out of office parks and luxury car dealerships

Nebraska's first round game got me remembering Scott Frost Day.

Fetterman literally giving Mullin the key vote to be appointed will be something I suspect will be an issue if he runs for re-election.

This is immensely disappointing to see from a senator who I otherwise really like. Platner got a Nazi tattoo. He only covered it up when it became a political liability. He hasn’t shown curiosity about the nature of the profound concerns, let alone real contrition. We have to be better than this.

Of course the Redhawks are better than SMU. SMU lost 13 games. That's way more than 1

The Cabin in the Woods (2011, dir. Drew Goddard)

But it worked out so well last time! Funny story- my gf at the time of the last strike wrote a letter to Ed Hochuli imploring him to come back. She sent it to the law firm he was at. He answered back!

You should-a taste my lasagna!

I’m working on a hot take: The backlash to OBAA from a certain kind of self-styled activist type is a hit dog hollering situation. They’re worried they look like the characters in the movie to outsiders.

All Departments have a little bowl that says Take a Future/Leave a Future.

I feel like somewhere there’s probably a cut of this that goes on for 10 minutes and I would like to see that version

Man everyone talks about how specific to this moment OBAA feels but don't sleep on the evil Petrobras guy in The Secret Agent sneering at how they're researching underwater basket-weaving the same week as the DOGE depositions

Would’ve been nice if Mike Quigley could’ve gotten a real challenger this year instead of a couple heavily under resourced opponents who nevertheless were able to steal a third of the vote from an 8-term incumbent

It's about as bad as one could have imagined; the preemptive reactions from UFW etc make total sense. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u...

RESULT: Community organizer Miguel Alvelo-Rivera has ousted state Representative Jaime Andrade in the Democratic primary. This is the Chicago-based HD40, & Andrade has been a longtime target of the Chicago left.

Bottom of the ninth, two outs, one strike, geopolitically tense World Baseball Classic title on the line. Thank you to the LoanDepot Park organist for giving us "If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands" in that exact moment

Congrats to Raja Krishnamoorthi on his new position as guest contributor to the Chicago Tribune editorial board

clayton kershaw's last act on a baseball field was to get a silver medal with a rainbow ribbon draped around his neck

Not sure how many people outside of Chicago were writing about Juliana Stratton a *decade* ago, but @jeffsinger.bsky.social was keeping an eye on her!

esto es marzo

arepas for everyone!!!

Very excited to see what district/state Kat Abughazaleh moves to in order to run for Congress in 2028

Very disrespectful of the Venezuelan players to look happy after a big play. You’re supposed to look pissed off

I’m mostly happy with the Illinois election results tonight, but it looks like the Senate race and at least 3 or 4 House races are going to be won by candidates getting less than 40 percent of the vote. There’s no reason that should ever be the case and we could easily fix that with RCV.

Specifically having 2.1 pounds of weed when 2.2 pounds is drug trafficking… high IQ move, bumping him up my draft board
