Non-spoiler comment for anyone who still does Wordle: those bastards really did it.

Me, after seeing I have 100.4 degree fever: “I’m probably faking it.”

Okay not *only* about oil, also about showing dominance and probably some sort of petty grievance in there too. But definitely ALSO helpful to some US oil majors (notably Exxon and Chevron)

Damon Wayans Jr. has a grandchild. He is a grandfather. He is a 43 year old grandfather. A baby who is a grandpa! Moreover: that means Damon Wayans (!) is a (!) GREAT-grandfather!

Last week of maternity leave. 😭 Also if you’re on the east side of LA, go to Creatures Plants and Coffee, it’s new and great.

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

The hepatitis B vaccine had been recommended for all newborns since 1991. From 1990-2019, acute hepatitis B infections reported among children and teens fell 99 percent. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/w...

Chicagoans will pay $76 per person this year for police misconduct settlements.

I hated leaf blowers BEFORE I had a baby trying to take a nap.

"ProPublica’s reporting debunks the idea of a ’Tren de Aragua complex' taken over by a horde of terrorists. We found no criminal convictions for 18 of the 21 Venezuelans we identified. Three of the men had been charged with offenses ... but in each case the charges were dropped."

One of the few benefits to being a daily Starbucks customer is that when the baristas strike, I can boycott. Hold the line pals.

Another on the board for “I hated that guy anyway and turns out he was even worse than I thought.”

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if Larry Summers has no haters I am dead.

RIP Shakespeare you would have loved rhymezone dot com.

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

If the top of your instagram story looks like a dotted line, you are having a mental breakdown and need to throw your phone into the river. Or you saw Beyoncé. Usually it’s the former.

BREAKING: NBC News projects: Prop 50 Congressional Redistricting has been approved.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

they’re calling it “the blue wave” and the media will do non-stop stories about how the gop needs to move drastically to the left

in 2006 there was a big discussion about whether to delete the "vice presidents who have shot people" category which only had two people (cheney and burr)

SHE SURE DID PHIL

My baby was sleeping and there was a mosquito buzzing around and it landed on my baby and then I slapped the mosquito and then guess what happened

I never deleted the old HBO Max app and now I don’t know which one to shoot

Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor. And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again? I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale. That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?

Rebranding funerals as ‘Tragic: The Gathering’

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

ICE unleashed tear gas on the street in Chicago’s Logan Square today and I tried to find meaning among the fog and my own anger about, well, everything. dansinker.com/posts/202…

This is literally directly across the street from an elementary school.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

It’s nice that I have so much time to read during my maternity leave. For example, I read a book called “Are You Wiggly?” 3-5 times every day. The household consensus is that the best page is the fish.

This FRIDAY I am doing a show for the first time since having a baby. Come out to Oral at the Elysian, the baby will probably be there too, she’s mostly a potato still and frankly a great prop. www.elysiantheater.com/shows/oral0926

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

I’ve had Hulu since 2008. I love Hulu. I just upped my subscription. Goodbye you hyper-verticalized cowards.

I wrote about "Obeying In Advance" and phone addiction and how at some point we have to look at the number of mass shooters that view violence as an extension of shitposting and ask "Are we, as a species, incapable of surviving extended exposure to the internet?"

ROBBED

The thing to emphasize here is that this treatment is *utterly normal.* It's part of the system of detention which has existed for decades. Folkston has been like this for many, many years,

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

Please help: my husband just referred to my breastfeeding log as my magnum opus.

it’s early but it seems like maybe this is relevant again (wrote it last week fml)

There's nothing chaotic about the race! The runaway winner of the Democratic primary has a comfortable ongoing lead in the polls! The only chaotic element is the mind-traffic of the small circle of self-appointed civic elites melting down over their refusal to accept a straightforward situation.

Attn all ICE agents! Here’s an announcement from our front window: Chicago hates you, and you are not welcome here!

Moreover: YOU ARE STILL A SENATOR!

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
