As a public company, Disney will have to report its subscribership numbers to its investors. I look forward to seeing how big of a drop the Kimmel fiasco caused.

North Side #Chicago, anyone know where/what that fireworks show was?

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

Someone out there wants this painting I just know it

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

W00t!

Holy crap

Echoing that holler!

Writing obituaries is an excellent exercise in learning to craft a concise narrative arc out of a vast and messy amount of information, while quickly figuring out what matters most to a character. This class with @edenrobins.bsky.social is online, one night, Sept. 4. buff.ly/TxOL9Dr #writers

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago. Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Slightly diminish a band: Bruising Pumpkins

It was good, but classic?

Thank you Andrew Cuomo for recognizing Chicago as the first American city. Y’all have been competing with us for a long time.

Seriously, who is this meant to rally?

For those who are not from the Chicago area let me tell you how perfect it is that Kristi Noem is currently holding a press conference about her mass deportation/kidnapping regime in the suburb of Lombard.

NEW: Nearly a year after Chicago officials turned off the city's gunshot detection system, a new analysis of Chicago crime data shows a steep drop in violent crime & homicides in the 12 South and West side neighborhoods that had ShotSpotter sensors. @wttw.bsky.social
