you guys should listen to beach bunny

Very good science here, can confirm. jedkolko.substack.com/p/no-native-...

Stuck in traffic? Can't find parking? Take the red line! It's right there! Let's make the most of our $2.1B investment in the RPM project and #BuildOnBroadway in #Edgewater #Uptown #Chicago

I am in an empty house with no TV and nothing to do except the writing I need to do so I cannot wait to see what new, unexpected, totally random task I end up completing instead.

I stan my YIMBY queen.

Rezoning: just one tool to make communities more affordable, vibrant & safe. We need investments throughout the entire landscape: $$ CTA, protecting SROs & NOAH, ADU reform, a culture for multimodal city living with accessible social supports to live with dignity blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/18/b...

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

I demand a Thursday Night Football moment of silence for Robert Redford

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Plenty of scary threats to free speech lately, but I, a brave man, have been undeterred. I continue to "repost" things on BlueSky!!!!! You cannot stop ME!

Y’all already know what to do 💪 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

It's perfectly coherent to argue that taking down slave-owner statues is "destroying history" whilst erasing exhibits about the horrors of slavery isn't,- provided that history, to you, is a story to weaponise & not a process to understand.

So many fire letters to the editor today in the trib!!! Amazing! 👏 @bryanevansduff.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/10/l...

You probably don't read the Chicago Tribune but if you do I have an op-ed in there today: www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/10/l...

Same in Illinois. I’ll never stop beating this drum. Very few Dem leaders in Illinois seem to take this seriously! Every time a housing proposal in Illinois is denied/scaled down, we’re giving electoral votes to Republicans.

SUPREME COURT: You cannot use race in college admissions or hiring. SUPREME COURT: You CAN use race to arrest or deport someone.

Chicago Should Let The National Guard Come to My Music Improv Show bryanevansduff.tumblr.com/post/7941735...

The Bible is comforting because it's a bunch of stories of ancient people killing each other with rocks and God was there the whole time and that's comforting. Amen.

my wife knew what she was getting in to (being the sole audience for anything i create and carrying the entire weight as my self-worth as a so-called creative)

Hey the guy I used to shower with every morning who was FOR sending troops into Iraq is AGAINST sending troops to Chicago, which is the city where he and I showered together every morning for close to 2 years www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/o...

You guys gotta get amped about the stickney water reclamation plant www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4l-...

Chicagoans, you can do this to support more housing options for our neighbors. I just signed (and contacted my alderperson separately a few weeks ago encouraging them to support it).

this week on Jubilee, I sit down with 29 people who want to beat my ass to see if they beat my ass

a podcast is where you try to be as mean as possible to trans people, apparently

Why do some people hold on so tightly their hopelessness? What does it do for them? www.experimental-history.com/p/use-this-m...

weird: my algorithm keeps showing me things that i watch and enjoy but would never admit out loud that i watch or enjoy

now more than ever, we need the 1/2 measures and empty promises of corporate democrats

Thank you, Ronald Reagan

FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER: Bet this atmosphere makes you wish you were still out there, huh Gary? GARY: Yeah, it does...I wasted my shot. I didn't cherish it. IT GOES BY FAST. HOW CRUEL IS YOUTH? A GIFT THAT IS TAKEN AWAY! ANNOUNCER: Welp, that's going to be a holding penalty on Penn State

Good job @andymboyle.bsky.social ! Yet another awesome story. coldcallermag.substack.com/p/used-to-be...

time to brush up on my 3rd amendment rights

sweet greens are made of these/ who am i too disagree/ traveled the world and the seven seas/ everybody's looking for salad

GUY IN FLORIDA WHO RECENTLY POINTED A LOADED WEAPON AT SOMEONE FROM HIS CHEVY SILVERADO BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIM WAS DRIVING THE SPEED LIMIT: I hear there’s a lot of violence in Chicago

can't believe they removed the white man from the old logo and added a trans immigrant hiding just behind the new logo

applying for a job, or committing bot on bot crime?

normalize saying "Thank you for your service" to anyone who stayed in Chicago/New York/Los Angeles instead of moving to "Devil's Hole, Arkansas" during the pandemic

dang Democracy WAS on the ballet and America was like "thanks anyway but we would rather just be meaner to minorities"

europeans on here love to be condescending to americans about how bad politics are but they all live like 7 blocks from The Worst Thing Anyone Has Done In History Memorial

much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.

The best writing I’ve ever done was a line by line exegesis of the second inaugural. A beautiful, courageous speech. Incredible to imagine a leader in wartime who could stand in front of his country and say, “we deserve to die for the crimes we have allowed.”

So far the National Guard-in-Metro stations vibe is groups of 3 Guard members standing around looking confused about what they should be doing during a peaceful, smoothly flowing rush hour of quiet people in Rothy’s and loafers toting lunch boxes

NASA is going to stream on Netflix? Nothing will get moon landing truthers on board like increased production value.

I don't know about you guys but my life has been so much better since we stopped sending seeds to farmers in Africa

Anthony Rapp moving to Andersonville is the best thing that could have happened to that neighborhood, save for them passing a ban on new housing developments

im not watching the rfk and hegseth pull up/ pushup thing. don't send it to me. it's going to make me too mad (i can only imagine the horrors that will be their half reps)

The left needs its own collection of quacks and dumbasses

Farting more like my mother with every passing year

love signing on to see starlord is softlaunching a defense of january 6th

city cons (illinois policy institute, I am looking at you but of course you are too sensitive to even bother being on bluesky) who blame all of Chicago's financial problems on the teacher's union...have you seen how much we pay police AND police misconduct?

I spoke w/ @betoorourke.bsky.social @netrootsnation.bsky.social & asked him directly what he & other Dems are gonna put on the line to prove to working people they're actually gonna fight MAGA authoritarianism & not just say the right things. Here's what he said. What do you think? @therealnews.com
