Let’s see if S3 can make up for the foolishness that was S2. #NowWatching

This is like a very bad (and weird) version of “House.” #StillWatching #DontKnowWhy

Liked this movie a lot. So many moving pieces, all handled deftly. A shame the studio released this during “dump month,” making me wonder if it would’ve found a wider theatrical audience had it come out later this year. Also, great stunt drivers/chase scenes!

When “We Are the World” plays loudly over the speakers in your Friday night Mexican joint. #GenXJam

Yay or nay?

A bit surprised by the resounding praise for this reconstruction of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, much from self-described Chicagoans. Some images are wildly inaccurate, some plain creepy, all AI-generated (sigh). Have you watched the 5-minute video, and if so, what did you think?

Hearing Skip Gates repeatedly say “Flea” has me giggling. #FindingYourRoots

Catching up on Tuesday’s Colbert. Do these CBS execs (and lawyers) honestly not know who they’re dealing with? Have they never seen Colbert’s 2006 White House Correspondents’ speech, FFS?

I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Donte Diesel—TV news photojournalist, filmmaker, and Chicago film historian—for his YouTube series, The Chicago Film Experience. If you enjoy thinking about rom-coms and Chicago onscreen, I believe you’ll enjoy our conversation. 🎬😀

The husband is making me watch “The Lawrence Welk Show.” #OneTVHousehold

Damn straight.

So impressive when viewed close up. 🩵 #NationalPortraitGallery

DC in February: snow and sunset.

Would be nice if all residents of said house thought the same. #FDRMemorial

I bring receipts. Look at these D.C. “sidewalks.” That so-called Big Beautiful Bill ain’t paying for snow removal.

Y’all. Washington D.C. needs to take lessons from Chicago in terms of cleaning snow/ice from its sidewalks. Didn’t know I’d need to pack my waders—sheesh, this melt is messy AF.

Can’t recall the last time I’ve been on a plane that’s only 30% full. 🤔

Wow, the Art Institute of Chicago just got its first Normal Rockwell—the Cubs!

Post a banger that’s not in English.

This is really swell. 👏

Wow. Even Mississippi said HELL NO! 💪

If you haven’t watched his mic drop yet, you’re missing out.

Peaking in Pink. This morning's sunrise in Chicago.

Still watching but I also must ask: is this the best we can do for Josh Charles?

Backseat separation anxiety. 🙄 #Cockers

Unexpectedly veered into BabyJaneDoeTok and I’ve never been so happy. #ThePitt

Fangs of February. Winter still has its bite on Chicago.

Not a surprise but January was one of the coldest and snowiest Januarys in several years. Ice and snow are melting and by next week, if weather forecasts are accurate, we'll be seeing temps in the 40's. The "Chiberia Ice Age" is taking a breather in Chicago.

Yay!

Lost a real one #OTD in 1996.

Morning Lights. Sunday's sunrise in Chicago Harbor as the frozen lake starts to melt.

Giggling at Daniel Brrrnham, @ladytophamcatt.bsky.social and @adamchicago.bsky.social.

Selecting a new sofa, accent chairs, rug, and curtains with my colorblind husband is…

My appreciation of Rachel McAdams apparently outweighs my dislike of horror movies. #NowWatching

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Macaulay Culkin on Instagram. 😢

Oh, how awful.

Backlit Beauty. Thursday's start in Chicago as parts of Lake Michigan are still frozen.

You see Dave’s new baby pup, @biscuitkitten.bsky.social?? 🩷

😆 (via @blockclubchi.bsky.social)

Should not have “just stopped by” the Room & Board outlet store. 😬

And I suppose that’s why he’s (still) called The Boss. 🇺🇸

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Tuesday at the Tower. This morning in Chicago.

Backyard bunny and I await all the ice/snowstorm pics from folks in the South. Hope y’all have power—and aren’t on the roads! 🐰❄️

Meh.

Tell me your pet’s name with a gif.
