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.

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant & Refugee Rights is reporting an uptick in ICE activity across the Chicago area over the last week, incl. reported abductions at Cook County courthouses and immigration check ins. Chicago neighborhoods of reported activity include Rogers Park, Austin and Pilsen.

Nine months later. Still need trim, a door, and furniture but...progress!

Update: there were a dozen cupcakes and they were all upright when I last left the room...

Made cupcakes for the neighbors so someone got to lick the frosting paddle

I have a suggestion

Bubbles and her snaggletooth

Apple-miso danishes

Maybe?

There but for the grace of three inches go I, and I think about/am grateful for that constantly. I was also lucky (legal stuff-wise) that multiple people got it on video — I really hope someone can do the same for him

What I'm learning from Homicide: New York City is that if SVU wants to accurately portray the NYPD, they need to ramp up the accent work

NOT. SCARED.

ATTACK

Why is Instagram sending me push notifications for accounts I don't follow when their dogs die??? Is there a way to make it stop? I REALLY DO NOT LIKE THIS

When Midway Blitz ramped down late last year, federal officials asserted that they weren't done with the Trump admin's mass deportation campaign in Chicagoland. Activity has yet to reach the heights of last fall, but true to their word, ICE never left. My latest, for @southsideweekly.bsky.social:

Would rather live in a harder world where we're fighting for our trans friends than a "better" one where we've betrayed them to get there 💗🤍💙

Churro morning buns with cajeta

Ohhh my god the job that ur not qualified for is making u sad? should we tell everyone? Should we throw a party?should we invite kash patel

It should be illegal for there to be MULTIPLE sketchy passport renewal sites that show up before the actual government site

I told Kyle about Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dukoupil because he exists on a whole different internet and he made a meme and I'm very proud of him

Give it a rest, man. Her book already tanked

SHE IS ALSO NOT SCARED OF THE THUNDERSTORM STOP SAYING THAT

NEW: Last October, Border Patrol agents gassed Chicagoans after agents caused a major car crash on the southeast side. I analyzed body cam videos that show agents Benito Nunez, Oscar Guillen, and Carlos Chavira ignored orders to end the pursuit—moments before they blew a tire and crashed.

Are you flying soon? Would you like a shirt that tells ICE to go fuck themselves AND supports the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights? dancingonicesgrave.myshopify.com

This @nytimes.com examination of former Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino includes the fact that he personally lobbed tear gas at members of the public; it does not mention that a federal judge found that he lied, under oath, about why (1/2)

A federal judge has struck down Broadview’s curfew on protests, ruling that restrictions set by suburban leaders have violated demonstrators’ First Amendment rights.

Project Hail Mary is just Boy Titanic

GUYS THIS IS GARY

Well I guess I have to move to Uptown now

Really hope that's not the end of the ICE storyline on The Pitt. I don't care if it's very-special-episode-y, the more people seeing a relatively realistic representation of what they're really doing, the better
