rapid response groups are reporting at least two ice abductions in chicago already this morning: one in avondale at diversey/pulaski (pictured below) and one in humboldt park at kolmar/grand.

I just introduced Kyle to an @ichotiner.bsky.social interview (the Melania cinematographer one) and his world is never going to be the same

Someone just chased me down the block to say how beautiful Birdie is and she wasn't wrong

Sonia

Would you like to meet a meatball

I know Puerto Rican Pride is this weekend because every cop in Chicago is currently standing along North Avenue looking at their phones

It has to kill him that he's an actual New Yorker that New York will never claim

Birdie meets two fuzzy potatoes

So uh what exactly are her right elbow and hand resting on? Because it's not the chair

Backrooms is the first horror movie about AI slop

Oh wow I can't believe I never noticed that

🥰 Kyle just asked me the one thing every girl wants to hear: "Do you want to help rescue a baby squirrel?"

Feels great to be 95% done with the renovations!

Why are you reading when you could be paying attention to Birdie

Absolutely absurd that newspapers.com, as one of the only places on the internet that you can still search print archives and which costs like $300/year, has a practically unusable search function and is incapable of keeping users logged in

The tonal shifts in Widow's Bay are phenomenal — I'm trying to think of another recent show that pulled them off so well

We're doing yard work and Birdie is having a jungle adventure

I am apparently physically incapable of remembering the title of Talk To Me, which I always call Take My Hand

Scones with strawberry-rhubarb-pink peppercorn jam

Anyone who says the internet is forever has never tried to research a news story from 25 years ago

Going to start telling people I'm "un-babied" when they ask if I have kids

Does this look like the face of a dog who would jump three feet into the air to bite off the end of your churro

Lol look up the Federal Tort Claims Act, Marco

Not sure they've thought through this plan to crash the economy/start another pointless war and then make all of us are MORE depressed and anxious

Uh I can think of several other things that seem to matter much more to him. Like "white genocide." (Not a real thing, to be clear.)

There's some wannabe Charlie Kirk at Six Corners with a giant speaker and a sign that says Ask A Christian Anything and I am wearing my pro-abortion sweatshirt

Kyle ate all of the potato chips and I'm going to need someone with legal expertise to tell me if this is a hate crime

She definitely did not pull everything on the bed into a little nest so that she could bask in the sun

Our neighbors said goodbye to Maxx but he was a very good boy

I've never in my life wanted anything as much as Apple TV wants me to watch a movie about Matthew McConaughey driving a bus

Weirdo

Is there an app or website that can plot children's weights over time against the expected growth curve/percentile? This is for work, not Some Personal News

Having the Mighty Ducks of federal governments should be more fun than this

ICE in Chicago this morning at Elston and Kennicott—a masked agent tells a witness (on the sidewalk) not to get in front of his car. Feds are continuing kidnappings across the city & burbs after increased activity this month. No flashy CBP caravans, just a steady stream of covert ICE arrests.

Just gave a thumbs down to a lifted Cybertruck

Very normal dog

Cinnamon roll pull-apart bread Poorly plated due to my impatience

Not scared, protecting YOU

Do I know anyone who could answer what I *think* is a fairly basic question about HIPAA and law enforcement? If someone is a suspected victim of a crime that could potentially be documented in their medical records, what requirements must be met before law enforcement is entitled to those records?

There was a whole MTV franchise about why this is a good thing, actually, Katie

A Birdie investigation

The ProPublica/Frontline team interviewed Kyle for this and I'm very grateful for them keeping these stories alive even when things have "calmed down" (but they're still kidnapping people at a frightening rate)

Why is Sutton Foster at the Lincoln Park Mariano's?

So then our strategy for international relations is just "genocidal Calvinball"

Okay the egg wash really takes it up a notch, aesthetically

The Wire was fine.
