Feeling a strong urge to book a flight to Thailand this morning

Dawn of The Final Day

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Because it has nothing to say. It is an extension of evil, creatively bereft ghouls trying to make a simulacrum of actual art, which by definition has a viewpoint beyond just “me”. It was ai slop before ai slop was mainstream. If you have nothing to say why the fuck would anyone listen

why does she look so menacing here 😭

listen I love my dog but I really could have used the extra sleep today 😪😪😪

AI slop has made shopping online infinitely worse. Shop local!!

every time I stumble upon republican propaganda I am always amazed at how out of touch with reality they think/ want the world to be

Sometimes I don't want to be able to receive texts AT ALL. I need a setting that bounces a text back & says "Sorry, x is not receiving texts right now, please try again another time" Just turn off your phone you're saying, ok but what about when I turn it back on!?!?

Niche bl post: the more I see Gulf and Bright together irl the more I want to see them together in a series. It would probably be very bro but...

so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

For $36/year not only do *I* not have to shovel the sidewalk but that means *everywhere* I'd walk in the entire city would be shoveled too?? Feels like a deal to me...

Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.

some of you are gay!!!

not sure if this is accurate, but I feel like ride share services (Uber/ Lyft) have gotten markedly worse recently and food delivery apps (Doordash/ GrubHub) have gotten markedly better.

Just called a decision my wife had to make in Mario Party “a real Sophie’s choice” and I think my gummi just kicked in.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

there is an old man who is reading gd BIBLE on his phone on this flight

Opposition to the “doxxing” of law enforcement is advocacy for having secret police.

I cannot wait for the collective psychosis hype around those two men to die idc if I’m a hater why am I seeing them upwards of 30 times a day despite actively avoiding the content

so true

they're shallow people who believe everyone is as shallow, unethical, and amoral as them because to believe otherwise would be exposing who they truly are to themselves and they're too broken to handle that.

Disappointing to see people on here talking about their ideal ICE/CBP reforms. It is a terrorism organization that is conducting terror campaigns. Abolish. At minimum. That's it.

we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Am I supposed to be happy this Nazi who personally terrorized my neighborhood gets to retire in peace? Am I supposed to believe anything less than abolishing DHS and prosecuting and punishing every last soul who has participated in this spectacle of fear and death is remotely acceptable?

"winning back" MAGA and racists is not my job. i am a professional hater. my job is to make fun of these people until i die

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @chicagotribune.com raves A Red Orchid Theatre's Chicago premiere of BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA is "a gorgeous little 90-minute two-hander, a beautifully acted and directed." Now playing through February 22, 2026. bit.ly/4qDr9c7

Weird fun fact about me: I enjoy turbulence on flights

Snowed in? As long as you've still got power or cell service, it's a great time to send some emails or make some calls.

Picked this up at Extreme Noise Records in Minneapolis this week, as good a slogan for the moment as any #DontTreadonMN

Shit's so bad that they even got Anna Valencia out here tweeting "Abolish ICE" on the officially Chicago City Clerk account lmao I used to dream that the overton window of ICE abolishment would be this popular

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.

I am introducing the Melt ICE Act to end funding for immigrant detention and monitoring. We have seen the danger in infusing resources into DHS’s abuses of power. Funding for ICE is fuel for human suffering. It’s time to start melting ICE.

a miserable morning to you too

Danish parliamentarian fresh on the scene doing better retail politics than any American Democrat

Throw away the freaking spy robots in your house.

ICE agents are pulling fire alarms in apartments to flush out residents and dressing as utility workers to enter unsuspecting homes The administration is speed running distrusting literally everything that used to keep people safe.

I keep forgetting it's Friday idk what that means

This kind of messaging is intended to drown moms in research, risk, and responsibility. The goal is to keep them so anxious and so busy that they can't work for pay--especially not in high-powered "mens" jobs--or get involved in any kind of efforts to push for progressive change.

"The report describes a kind of doom loop of AI dependence, where students increasingly off-load their own thinking onto the technology, leading to the kind of cognitive decline or atrophy more commonly associated with aging brains."

Mpls: If you are working to support neighbors right now I *highly* suggest avoiding the generic "let me know what you need" and instead asking/offering directly: "I'm going to the store. Send me a list." "Do you need shampoo? Fruit? Toilet paper?" "Can I help with your laundry?"

I’ve now seen two videos where ICE agents threaten a peaceful citizen and ask them if they’v learned nothing from the past few days? The murder of Renee Good was not an incident, it is a threat.

Such a good quote!

Solo birthday dinner at Swift Tavern on Addison. Terrible service and long wait for food/ drinks but decent. Way overpriced.

Nha Hang Vietnam on Argyle for a Pre-Birthday dinner. Truly the best.
