Stop literally everything. Steve Albini's Fugazi sessions, widely bootlegged and full of lore, now available officially for the first time. fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

So what's this going to be called thousands of years into the future? The Hegsethian Jihad? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"he sold a lot of those laahptaps"

Today's NYT strands made me think of @lookitup.baby

I hate the fact that AI and Dunning-Kruger combined has resulted in the "I'm more of an ideas guy" personality being empowered

Aw shit that last-minute power play goal. Well played, Canada

I just watched a Chicago driver stop, not at a stop sign, not at the lights, but because a rat was running across the street. Hell yeah Chicago at 1am

Hell yes, Side Street Saloon standing firm against "tavern style" though what they are is a tavern and what they make would be called that by many. But it's just Chicago style thin crust.

Addendum to my Spirit flight log from the other night. I'm successfully on board a very delayed airplane at EWR. They've done the schpiel from the cockpit. We're all strapped in. FA is doing their walk to check we are. Passenger 2 rows ahead of me: "I don't trust none of these Steves on this...

Look at this fucking Guinness. Marvel at its goodness. Imagine being served it and having the Tipperary brogue of "would there be anything else, sir?" accompany it. Slainte, DB Cooper's NYC. You know where to get them.

To the British couple ordering 2 lagers at Augur's Well in NYC: the reason you got a stack of $1 notes as change from your $20 was so you could leave a few of them as a tip, not comment on the number and stuff them all into your wallet.

Today, I will attempt to document my journey on the one US airline I don't think I've flown before: Spirit. I've flown plenty on the major carriers (yawn), Southwest (though before they instituted assigned seating), and Frontier (garbo, but no worse than e.g. Ryanair). One left to try out.

On nights like this the air in Chicago reminds me of what I remember the Caucasus and northern India smelling of at night

Welp I guess I'll be in London in March. Gonna see how the UK counterpart to the best conference in the world is. ti.to/monki-gras/m...

Guys, I’m hearing 6'5 Australian TERA-CHAD Androgenic has flown to U.S and BONESMASHMAXXED in order to HUNT down the ASU frat leader and engage in a MOG-OFF to avenge Clavicular after the BRUTAL frame mog incident that took place last week.

I wonder how Google feels about every media outlet talking about "Ring Cameras" in the Nancy Guthrie case given hers was a Nest camera

Possibly hot take: I have a feeling a lot of people feel they don't like cooking because they have dogshit dull knives. I just got my set sharpened and even though I'd kind of kept up with maintenance, the pleasure is on another level now.

Ooh Chicago, you're gloriously sunny and warm today. I'm out here walking and had to take my light jacket off because even just a hoodie feels warm in this sun. Temptation to beer rising.

Oh sick, sometimes it pays off to listen to @quinnypig.com 's podcast because I had definitely been stuck in my ways with homebrew usage. Getting the cool new shit straight from @mikemcquaid.com is going to make my stuff better/more involved/replicable/cooler/nerdier/whatever

Hell yeah Seahawks.

English speakers like "that was less political than I thought" lol they had ricky martin singing "dont do us like you did hawaii"

i think we should let Claude handle these peoples autonomic breathing and involuntary respiration and whatnot. we are replacing your lungs with a claude machine my man, you are in the future now

Too many AI ads. Too many GLP-1 ads. Overall poor game until the last quarter. Good halftime show though. Go neon birds.

"let genspark automate your work... And take the day off" And many subsequent ones too, as your employer assumes you're replaceable by AI, leaving you free to enjoy unemployment

American men not able to face a digital exam for prostate cancer aside, that "tight end" commercial was the one of the night

Ok who cares about all these AI ads? Where's the Budweiser one?

Have just witnessed an extremely polite Korean tourist on the blue line ask a lady sitting near him if it was ok for him to open the diet coke he had in his bag. Her face was the epitome of "oh sweetie, don't worry about that"

This is my jam to the absolute maximum. Like the dirtiest daiquiri possible: sugar, lime wedges, smash that shit up, pour a fuck load of Guadalupean rum over it and stir once served. It's awful. It's wonderful. It's fucking me up 5€ at a time (It's called the ti' punch)

Even if I wasn't oceanside today, this = me

If a university student group had celebrated Charlie Kirk being killed, complete with a graphic made from an actual picture of the killing, the whole lot of them would have been expelled before the ink on the digital story was dry.

Good god I've become insufferable to myself. I can't stand the younguns revving their quad bikes and preening/posing with loud music, and neither have I got any patience for the geriatrics playing inane shit out on their phones

(waking up and feeling the 8 degrees through the wall) 11 domestic beers would go crazy style right now

(day 5 of it being freezing outside) ohh thats why u guys are plastered all the time

I really want people to check in with the organizations that have been pushing back on surveillance for 10+ years. Just to be blunt, there are a lot of folks who realized yesterday that surveillance is bad and many are suggesting well-intentioned but misguided strategies for fighting it talk to us

Uh oh is NBC5 Chicago broken

When you on the SSRIs

What happened to that guy, Rinse Priapus, or whatever his name was?

Hear me out: giardiniera Martini

Holy shit, Anthony Soprano in Season 1 of the show is roughly my current age.

Obviously early days for the weather forecast, but looking like a cold day in Chicago next Sunday! Welcome to town, southern Californian climate woolly animals. These Chicago bears don't hibernate.

I miss dialing into and fiddling with random BBSs. There was a kind of magic of discovery to it all.

I think COVID really did a number on people knowing how to behave in bars. Last night as I was ordering, the couple sitting to my right were split apart by a guy sticking his arm between them and yelling his order out. Meanwhile I was stood in the gap with no stools that is CLEARLY for ordering.

Outside the bar tonight "My life as a lifelong Bears fan is like having been born to a gang that sucks"

"have you ever thought about serving god?" "Which one?" Lmao, The Pitt rules

Dry January, but Chicago: leave out the Malört.

Hey so when you speak to a person born in Finland and you say "you Scandinavians..." even if in a positive light and the other person says "Nordic, Finland is not Scandinavian" the thing you say back is NOT "yeah yeah, you know what I mean, it's all the same thing"

The next time some self-confident but ultimately terribly mistaken person says "Delilah's is a dive bar", remember that you have seen this picture of the NYE Champagne menu, and mock them mercilessly. Deal?

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Citibike is such a good system that has become a luxury good that prices out a bunch of people and makes little financial sense for a lot of rides even if you can afford it. Also extremely egregious pricing for people who regularly visit New York but don’t live there

This truly is the dumbest timeline
