There are approximately one million people enjoying Chicago’s 26 miles of shoreline today #facts

Ever wonder what Chicago is like in the summer?

it doesn't take an "outside physician" to look at his hands and see that something is seriously wrong

a disgrace not only to the office of the president but to military families who have lost loved ones

Pope Leo addresses the Synod Hall after presentation of his first encyclical Magnifica Humanitas: “Artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. The word is strong, I know, but deliberately chosen."

Sure, the data keeps piling up that Complete Streets are safer for everyone while neutral at worst to the local economy, but has anyone considered the *real* victims here (motorists who need an extra 90 seconds to drive two miles)?

PRO- they use facts, figures,& data CON- we use vibes, feelings, & opinions throwing our support behind what our neighbours feel rather than look at the data, law, & understand Chicago bike lane construction sparks pushback, fuels political fights www.chicagotribune.com/2026/05/25/c...

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

My hottest take is that I don’t care if people use speakers on a ped/bike path. You want to listen to music? Go on with your bad self. Even if you hate the music, they’ll be gone in 10 seconds. Who cares?

The absolute frustration on a drivers face when you force them to make a complete stop is one of the small joys in life. The exasperated waving me across is icing on the cake.

It’s a beautiful day, Bluesky is open, and people are having a wonderful time.

This level of addled reasoning is rampant among the ostensibly-educated, and it's a big problem. How does he not see it? The "bubble" is keeping out Nazis. That's the point. Frankly, I'm increasingly convinced that the anti-"bubble" people actually DO want to be around Nazis.

Driving in the city should feel like you're actively asking to borrow some space. Because you are. Only on the limited network of boulevards should some space be pre-allocated for you. The rest of the time you should feel like you're borrowing space from all the people outside. Because you are.

Biden Derangement Syndrome

i just told a friend on my couch, "shots fired at the White House" and they responded, in a tired voice, "ok"

But those egg prices....

If you’ve never had to speak to your friends parents before speaking to your friend, please don’t speak to me.

generally think that if your response to "this is loser shit" is "are you triggered?!?!?" then you're just demonstrating the truth of "this is loser shit"

Someone posted yesterday about how the language used around AI was that of forcefulness & not consent. It was all "you have to use this" "It's happening whether you like it or not" "Embrace it or suffer". And that it was very techbro, because their products loathe consent, & so do they as humans

New York Giants players, including linebacker Abdul Carter, (rightfully) seem pissed about Jaxson Dart palling around with the president. It’s the kind of thing a player should think about before backing an overtly white supremacist politician.

3 different ways of saying they want to control the types of people that live in their towns. Racism Gotta protect those property values that have gone up +50% in the last decade.

Co-sign! She’s proven herself, give her the job! What are we waiting for?

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to…

Our @maggiehendricks.bsky.social caught up with veteran guard Natasha Cloud to talk about personal growth and getting comfortable with the Sky.

I think the thing crushing my spirit at the moment (it rotates, but there's always something!) is just the utter selfishness that the AI debate is bringing out in so many people. But I guess that's why it's the big Silicon Valley/GOP play. They know we love being selfish.

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

KAT WON. FUCK ICE.

#BREAKING U.S. Attorney Andrew Boutros annoucnes that charges against the remaining members of the "Broadview Six" will be dismissed with prejudice.

It’s hilarious that billionaires have cooked their brains so much that they think Nashville is on par with Shanghai or Singapore. buddy, the only thing that Nashville is a “global powerhouse” in is hosting bachelorette parties

One of the most vile human beings walking the earth

What the fuck, man. I’m so tired

the time shaq and charles barkley tussled during a game and then their mommas called them on 3-way to squash the beef lol

Why can a normal car even reach 137 mph? I'm not a car guy, so maybe there's a mechanical reason I don't understand. But I feel like car speeds should be capped for safety similar to how water heating systems cap temperatures for safety.

the attitude of looking down your nose at service work because it's perceived to be "easy" because "anyone can do it" is truly one of the most crazy making things about living in this country

Morning Star. Today over Chicago's Adler Planetarium.

Be sure to pay attention to the alders who voted no on banning Chicago police officers from actively participating in extremist and anti-government groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. I'm disappointed as always to see my alderman, Scott Waguespack, among them.

Bronson Pinchot said he improvised his “Beverly Hills Cop” character, Serge, based on a makeup lady he once had. On paper, Serge was “originally this American .. with no dimension to him, so I took it and just walked around with it trying to see what I could come up with.” Born today in 1959. 🎂

Some good news! Now, to see which 21 aldermen are OK with Chicago Police officers with ties to hate groups...

BREAKING: The City Council votes 28-21 to approve a measure designed to rid the Chicago Police Department of officers with ties to hate groups and far-right extremist organizations. @wttw.bsky.social

Yes the lake really is that color. Yes it really is that big. Yes we do have beaches with public bathrooms and lifeguards and hot dog stands. Yes winter is worth it.

My city 😍

Watched as cars fail to move out of the way of a fire engine at work, and now everyone in my area knows exactly what I think of Chicago drivers 😂

my gf works corporate and is on a training about AI and there's a word cloud for "what do you use AI for." the largest word by far is "Nothing" and the trainer is PISSED

Congressman explains his salary

In a nutshell:

They are pressing this getting rid of taxes thing instead of just PAYING US MORE MONEY!
