Now they have Post Malone's culture vulture-ass out here performing.

Does CBS/Paramount only make NCIS and subsequent spinoffs or shows made by Taylor Sheridan?

Thankful for every single thing I do not currently know about Nuzzi/Lizza and doing my best to carry those blessings into the future

if the bus stops that were further apart could ALL have reliable benches/shelters, it would make the distance much more manageable. Many people can either travel a bit further or wait a bit longer, but not both. (Of course, the sidewalks also need to be in good repair and clear of snow/ice...)

I took a work meeting in the car while we were driving to visit my family in northern Michigan and was playing stardew valley on my phone and my 19yo goes "look at my chaplain, dawg, I'm never getting to heaven" and I laughed so hard I accidentally hung up the teams meeting

Jesus christ neighbor's balcony railing planters just flew off and landed on ours and on top of the pool! Secure your balcony shit, Chicago! Someone's gonna get hurt.

Few shots in film can match the look Eddie Murphy gives the camera in Trading Places when the Duke brothers explain bacon to him

This movie is underrated with its quotables

Today suburban legislators celebrated state transit reform and funding legislation. NITA creates "a single, coordinated regional authority. We are breaking down the barriers between Metra, Pace and CTA" said state Rep. Mary Beth Canty, D-Arlington Heights. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/25/s...

Who invented Tavern style pizza.

Terrifying statue of Abraham Lincoln and some dad.

A few photos of two snowy owls near Montrose Beach Monday evening in Chicago.

Healthy pour.

Shout out to the neighbors who have both Biss and Kat for Congress yard signs. In a normal race I'd assume it is a divided household. But in IL-09 it seems possible they just like both candidates.

Only one place.

From Des Moines, where the water quality is a political landmine, it's #ManholeCoverMonday

Aldermen in this city truly used to be like Kings.

I understand that defunding ICE might require a supermajority to get around a presidential veto, and that removing their masks and making them wear badges might be more achievable near-ish term…. But Jesus f’n Christ these people have no imaginations. Leading with compromise is the path to failure.

Breathless coverage of one person injured, not killed, on a CTA train, vs. a brief on Page 9 when two people are killed on the road. That’s because road death happens ALL THE TIME - 3 1/2 road fatalities per day in Illinois. It looks like the number of transit riders killed this year is one …

BBQ Turkey leg can be pretty tasty.

I'll add something else to the turkey discourse. So many spices exist+ takes on preparing it. Some people deep fry it. Not my favorite meat ever but I like it.

"You guys all got the shoe memo, I see."

I'm a year-round fan of turkey. But more importantly, I think it is super gauche to complain about the inferiority of the food served on a holiday specifically centered on gratitude, on giving thanks for what you have, when so many will not be feasting in a warm home alongside friends or family.

The IRS has determined it to cost $0.70/mile to drive, and the IRS usually has a good idea of what it costs to do something. That’s before parking costs.

So like the Rainforest Cafe, but in Logan Square?

The older I get, the more tired I become of the uncurious.

I hope the snowy owls enjoy Chicago as much as Chicago is enjoying them.

Snowy owls are considered “irruptive” in the Midwest, meaning some years they show up in winter and some years they don’t. This unpredictability is one of the reasons a snowy owl sighting carries such a “once in a lifetime” sense of excitement. https://to.wttw.com/3X81VWn

an impressive building by any standards, it used to serve as a CPS high school and now is a CPS elementary school sometimes you have to back up from a building and look up to find one of its coolest details 🦁

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It’s pretty sad to see regional accents dying in real time across America

I was brought up on a side street Learned how to love before I could eat I was educated from good stock When I start lovin' I just can't stop I'm a soul man I'm a soul man...
