People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

brb, a new instructional manual just dropped for my cat.

The cool thing is that the US seeking regime change in the middle east is something that has worked out every time with no blowback or unintended consequences ever.

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

This seems like a good time to remind my fellow Illinoisans to NOT vote for Raja.

Cool, I have to write an email to some students which is basically "Sorry, my country attacked your country again. Here is a link to campus resources." FML

Apparently nobody works at the Chicago Tribune over the weekends.

"You cannot accept funding from the architects of ICE’s data infrastructure, vote to commend the agency, and then rebrand yourself as an opponent once the political winds shift."

ICE killed Nurul Shah Alam just like they killed Renee Goode, Alex Pretti, Silverio Villegas González, and countless others whose names we do not know.

The best thing you can do in light of the Ellison takeover of Warner Brothers invest your time, energy, and money in supporting independent creators and independent distribution networks and independent venues. It is absolutely crucial to make independence a viable option.

Goddamnit!

I just got another mailer yesterday propagating lies from the @votejandrade.bsky.social and @repandrade40.bsky.social campaign.

That look of utter disgust my cat gave me when the only thing left on my plate was some kimchi.

Not only is this dumb, but USCIS doesn't have an application support center in the city limits and is sending kids to Burbank to get their pictures taken.

Are you in the IL-40th district and getting a LOT of mailers from the Illinois Democratic Party that seem *untrue* about Miguel Alvelo-Rivera? Since they couldn't cite their sources, I've got a little fact checking site for you: www.factsfor40.com

After a couple years of respite, I had to get an exterminator back in my kitchen today. Stupid roaches.

After years of promising the Double Door will open its uptown venue “soon,” the owners have thrown in the towel

I have someone on my team at work who constantly uses the word "chaos" to describe just about everything, and, quite frankly, it gets on my last nerve.

we did it, bebo

Ugh my stomach has been hurting all afternoon for no reason, I behaved myself yesterday.

www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba... I cannot speak as to the accuracy of the piece yet I found it a fascinating exercise @adamroberts.bsky.social @drlauravarnam.bsky.social

You're going to eat our slop, and you're going to like it.

I have officially entered that part of adulthood where I am washing my curtains.

One of the greatest bollard walks in history. #WorldBollardAssociation

These people are incredibly stupid. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/22/t...

You will take my Cool Ranch Doritos from my cold, dead hands.

It would be so nice to live in a country in which the organization in charge of security for air travel is competent and organized and not run by petty, cruel, disorganized children.

Happy lazy Sunday morning from my lazy cat.

DHS - please let us roll up on your street masked and kill citizens and kidnap people. No? Okay, nice airport you have, shame if something would happen to it.

I've been out and about since 1pm and spent a couple hours outdoors listening to music (yay for foot warmers), had a couple of stiff drinks, and now I'm debating the merits of going to bed at 9pm on a Saturday night.

Empty Bottle remains undefeated

Aww look at all these kids dancing to Bronski Beat

Non-alcoholic beer has really come a long way

Body Shop at Empty Bottle’s Music Frozen Dancing festival

Why couldn’t Music Frozen Dancing have happened last weekend?

Official bill of health. Just fine, hates the scale.

Damn it, I'm supposed to bring a cat turd to my vet appointment, and I forgot about that until just now. 💩

Today has been a banner day for spam phone calls.

It's wild that a different angle of this picture is making the rounds on Reddit in 2026. I spent a bit of time comparing this picture with mine, and it is not the same picture due to being taken at different angles. I am now so curious—who was that other commuter that morning in February 2020?

JFC, Gavin Newsom just sent me a text about his fucking book.

Took her long enough

This mailer sent out by Friends of Jaime Andrade accusing Miguel Alvelo-Rivera and his allies of being ICE supporters is not only a lie but also dangerous. The People's 32nd condemns this dirty tactic fully.

Lest anyone think opinions on ICE have lessened, the band I saw made several jokes about doing certain things to ICE agents I will not repeat on social media since I do not want the DHS chief puppy killer show up at my door with her goon squad.

Okay Yanks, what do we have to do to hold any of these fuckers accountable on this side of the pond?

I’m having a really nice evening, could we not go to war with Iran tonight.

Around age 15 I realized that for me, very few things beat seeing live music in a small venue; at age 52 I still feel the same way.

At sleeping village on a school night

Pathetic

NEW: In cases brought by the NEA and AFT, there are now final court orders: Last year's anti-DEI "Dear Colleague" letter is vacated and unenforceable. DOJ/DOE gave up the fight, dismissing the appeal and case in the Fourth Circuit and subsequently dismissing the the second case with a stipulation.

Requiring students who are applying for OPT to attend biometrics appointments is dumb.
