Farewell to the singular Louise Lasser, unforgettable in any role she tackled, but particularly memorable to horror fans for her go-for-broke turn in BLOOD RAGE. Our condolences to her friends, family and many fans.

Hey @chicagotribune.com Editorial Board: Why did you describe me as a “bomb-throwing influencer”? This is wrong, inflammatory, and racist. Change it. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/07/05/e...

"Abort Amerikkka" Hacked traffic sign in Chicago

Top: Fascists march in DC in 1926 Bottom: Fascists march in DC in 2026 100 years later American fascism thrives. The difference between KKK fascists then & MAGA fascists now is back then they showed their faces & now they hide them. They’ve become even bigger feckless cowards than they already were

I never lie to you chat

It’s a beautiful evening, the National Mall is open and people are having a wonderful time.

ok goin for a walk

My latest: I don’t respect America at 250. The only thing I can think of is how America is still a young, spoiled brat of a nation that no one is able to discipline. Foreign writers have been commenting on the US's developmental problems for centuries. karenattiah.substack.com/p/america-ne...

how they gonna defend the homeland with swamp ass

I’m watching STRANGE BREW for the first time, and I was not expecting how stylish everyone is. Lynne Griffin is my new fashion icon.

In all the Freedom 250 hoopla, I hope we can all remember the true meaning of the Fourth of July: watching Jaws

Hey, Chicagoans: I’m co-hosting a 25th anniversary screening of WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER tomorrow night with Marguerite Moreau as our guest. Filmspotting Fest II. Athenaeum Center. 7 pm. Should be a great night: athenaeumcenter.org/events/2026/...

That’s not dystopian at all. Happy 250th, America!

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

I talked to the officers. They said they were deputized by the US Marshals and went through an orientation yesterday. They’re here for 30 days as part of the America 250 celebrations.

I’m watching the Ecuador vs. Curaçao game, and I decided that I’m rooting for Curaçao solely because I like the liqueur, this player with the hair, and their coach, named Dick Advocaat, looks like he could be Udo Kier’s brother.

Tonight! Experience the thrill of living in the gay (19)90s without the fears, insufferable angst, or the rise of Dan Savage!

Did you know that this absolutely phenomenal show is still on view at Block House Gallery? And that if you don't come see it, you will regret missing the chance to experience its power in person? And that we have extended our days & hours until July 11 JUST FOR YOU?!

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Plus if you google it….fun times…

Sorry everyone but this is the best reflecting pool meme

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

holy shit????? ICE is getting rid of seven of the 11 would-be concentration camp warehouses they purchased and sec. mullin indicates new mass detention centers are not priority. huge!

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

We are very sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. Chase memorably played Samara in The Ring back in 2002, and also appeared in Donnie Darko. She voiced Lilo in the animated movie Lilo & Stitch, and later starred in the TV series Big Love.

Kohen Wiley, a 1-year-old child, is dead after a Mississippi police officer shot into a car and killed him. Family members say his mother was holding him in the passenger seat. The officers were responding to a shoplifting call over a box of diapers at the Senatobia Walmart.

Damn it, Ollie

jesus christ NO! NO!!! FUCK

I wrote what I consider to be the definitive profile of Brian Le, aka the one man wrecking crew of THE FURIOUS. We get into the Donkey Kong influence on his performance, the way he and his brother taught themselves martial arts, the synergy of energies and MORE! news.rsclfilms.com/the-action-e...

I have learned something I was not meant to know: the Vienna Beef factory has tallow delivered directly via rail car.

This is the World Cup content I'm here for.

A friend of mine at ohare just sent me this photo - in the corridor where there used to be flags of the world they’ve all been replaced w US flags

First visit to the National Public Housing Museum and Edgar Miller's Animal Court. www.edgarmiller.org/animal-court

#Politics #Trump Overnight from AP: Workers started to remove Trump's name from the #KennedyCenter but left around 3:30 AM EDT. They placed tarps around the scaffolding so the public can't see, but a photographer found a gap and got a picture of a letter being removed. apnews.com/article/trum...

Each worker gets a letter which they alone must bury in an unknown area of the world, passing the secret of the letter's location to their heir. Together, they will form an order sworn to prevent a great evil from arising again.

This distinctive house in the tiny village of Burnham, just outside city limits, was the longtime home of ultra-corrupt "Boy Mayor" John Patton. He controlled the village, which was notoriously mobbed up, for 40 years from the age of 23. A place with Al Capone stories that are actually real.

i hope media executives are taking note of the tens of thousands of people who for several hours on a friday night have stayed glued to livestreams of scaffolding being built just so they could witness his name getting knocked off a building

We don’t talk about this map enough. If you live in an area that’s red, you should 1) call/email your alderman 2) tell them that you’re concerned about housing costs 3) ask them lift the ban on multifamily buildings in your neighborhood by rezoning to minimum of RT-4. @stevevance.net

Chicago - Bleak Week is coming to the Siskel - and it's animated! FELIDAE is playing Saturday the 13th at 6p and Monday the 15th at 9p. All "Can Openers" without in the sound of my voice are required to attend! #iykyk #deafcrocodile #bleakweek #cultmovies #2danimation #siskelfilmcenter

THE FURIOUS is not only a great action movie, it feels cathartic in this time when we Americans have a corrupt pedophile human trafficker for a president.
