There are a number of efforts to preserve old footage and stories from the Chicago hardcore, emo and punk scenes of the 90s and early 2000s that are very exciting. One is The Fireside Tapes Youtube channel with early Midwest emo shows from the Fireside Bowl. www.youtube.com/@thefireside...

there's absolutely no way the dollar stays the dominant global reserve currency now, which is going to fuck these guys in the ass in a million different ways. im sure they think crypto is going to save them but nah

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

The aldermanic turkey had finished thawing! T-minus one day till the oven.

If you're listening to Pod Save, you're losing

Zohran Mamdani’s early success isn’t accidental. From scrapping corruption-era policies to hiring people who actually know how to wield power, his early moves offer a blueprint for how Democrats can govern with competence and values. Read @ryanlcooper.com's latest: zeteo.com/p/zohran-mam...

Tried to decipher this post for way too long before I realized that it had nothing to do with the IL-09 congressional race.

Aw man, not the Waterboys

today in minneapolis many people will both protest and go to a sledding party where we crash huge artistic homemade cardboard sleds down a giant hill as a crowd cheers on a previous sled:

I know baseball fans are sick of ownerships not spending like the Dodgers but what part of "a salary cap guarantees the owners keep more of your money instead of the players you pay to watch" is difficult to understand? A cap would reward every single other owner who chose not to pay Kyle Tucker.

A whole ass thread about how this guy would rather let the owners keep their money than give it to the players who they pay to watch play.

And when they come to our cities, they're not sending their best and brightest, they're sending violent criminals, child abusers, wife beaters and rapists.

This quote is a perfect encapsulation of how liberal capitalism is deeply anti-democratic

the whole game would change instantly if JB just dismissed ISP supe Brendan Kelly for cause of providing ICE with a black site security detail -- sorry boys but IL police can't do immigration stuff, it's illegal 🤷‍♂️ if only!

That's fucking solidarity, right there.

Man, the lesson to IL pols should be that they have the leverage here. If the Bears insist they'll do better moving too Indiana, call call that fucking bluff every time and if they follow-through, good riddance.

Tyler Wade and Taylor Ward are a government psy-op

just on a walk with my camera no big deal. just trying to isolate the tender, singular reality of my inner life within the congested public realm of the city nothing weird going on

If you haven't done so since you were a kid, get a booster for the 19th.century diseases, bc they're coming back. I got an MMR booster, along with a few others free with my annual flu and covid shots at Walgreen's, no appointment!

I just don't understand the mindset here. Why negatively polarize people in advance rather than spend that energy trying to make this scenario not happen?

I was at bankruptcy court for three hours yesterday and listened to more of the hearing online after that. The lawyers for my current landlord and the presumptive buyer were SO mad about organized tenants so I personally think every rent-stabilized building should form a union :)

Went to my first Cheekface show last night and if you're in the market for a band that's equal parts Jonathan Richman, Cake, Art Brut and early Talking Heads, I could not recommend them more highly.

Hmm, yes., quite troubling. Also, can I get one?

It's the queen potato that the scriptures foretold!

Until we nationalize baseball, all we can do is root for labor over management

The best butterscotch krempit I've ever had was in a tour bus in the Carpathians

Amazing life, absolute king. Also amazing that it doesn't mention who was illegally giving the South African apartheid state nuclear weapons tech (it was Israel).

Kershaw wasn’t gonna let Trevor Bauer be the only bozo with a 32.00 era against 3rd tier Korean hitters

How is it that we live in Humboldt Park (~Chicago & Kedzie) and yet have no decent pizza delivery available? A blatant violation of our rights as Chicagoans!

Classic CPD shit

When you don't know ball* *KatyPerrysBootyhole

looking for a local org in MPLS i can link to for donations/support - anyone on the ground have any recommendations?

How tragic that this disgraced cop will now have to suffer the indignity of being hired by the most racist suburban PD they can find

you can't make me learn who david shor is. i won't do it.

Clayton Kershaw gonna put an exclamation point on his Hall of Fame career by getting lit up for three and a third innings against Brazil after writing "Carnival is gay" on his cap.

Defund Delia doing everything she can to drag this party kicking and screaming to any sort of useful action.

Still have a hat in my basement signed by the legends Donn Paul and Ken Hill

You don't appeal to fascists. You beat them until they're scared into submission, then do everything possible to prosecute them out of society. The left has been saying this for over a decade. Anyone not on-board as war is being waged is part of the problem.

Police absolutely do not prevent murders. Rent control and eviction moratoriums absolutely do.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

Dunno if "Meal Team Six, Gravy Seal Motherfuckers" or "you look like a fucking soup sandwich," is better.

No one's saying we shouldn't also arrest them

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

✅Threatens to cut funding to any country that does not support the Israeli genocide in Gaza ✅Bans funding for efforts to combat disinformation ✅Enshrines anti-abortion policy ✅Commits $3.3B in Foreign Military Financing Program funds to Israel

What does this bill do? ✅Creates a new slush fund for Secretary of State Marco Rubio ✅Pushes a Big Tech agenda in trade policy ✅Cuts the IRS enforcement budget in order to encourage billionaire tax evasion ✅Advances Trump's imperialist foreign policy ✅Cuts funding to the United Nations

Insane how deeply committed to imperialism Democrats remain, despite the fascist takeover, completely hopeless.
