Sorry man even Spidey can't survive the East River

Baristas are 50-50 when spelling my name correctly on a cup. Let’s just take a step back and acknowledge accurate spelling in the context of the coffee shop world.

Jim Harbaugh-like. But will there be a tirade?

But will the National Guard impact the Bears game next Monday? 🙃

So many good folks involved here. Fuck yeah.

He so needs to learn to code. That guy sucks.

If I can wear sunscreen, my melanin-lacking friends better be when it’s 90 degrees in Chicago at 10 am. Keep safe no matter your shade. Electrolytes and water are your friend. 💥

Hearing Ted Cruz make a Jello joke about Biden while at your parents’ assisted living center certainly is fun. Fuck that guy forever.

Between Biden agists and Caitlin Clark fans…. the case to take a break from social media is a strong one.

Chicago Sky roster construction reminds me of Chicago White Sox roster construction.

How many times do you think Pope Leo has listened to “End of Beginning,” and do you think he tears up?

But what about the democratization of information! 🤮

The NBA is dead.

Sometimes I feel numb to have become an expert on something I never thought I would be an expert on. I have great reverence for @polygon.com’s team. It will take sometime to recover from losing my talented colleagues. I will have more to say next week. ✊🏾

Really excited about how many folks are becoming experts on Kashmir with escalating confidence at dropping Led Zeppelin references.

Every conversation at a coffee shop with men of a certain age sounds like a Curb Your Own Enthusiasm bit. We must study how society has been impacted, dissect the consequences and learn from it all.

What’s the most time you would wait for brunch before leaving and going somewhere else?

Don’t care how cute they are. Don’t bring your dogs to a restaurant or cafe. Patios are fine. But don’t be a jerk.

At a coffee shop and seeing a woman eating with her elderly parents and hearing the conversation. Makes me want to take out my phone and show her photos of my elderly parents in the same way I show folks photos of my toddler. We are the Sandwich Generation. ✊🏾🥹

As a longtime local journalist who worked countless Monday nights covering meetings, I feel sentimental about actually being able to watch the NCAA men’s championship. I don’t even care that much, just to have the option is cool.

Folks, IDK if you know but Teslas are people, too.

The Indian American fascination with celebrating St. Patrick’s Day needs to be studied. I don’t trust it.

Patronizing your favorite immigrant-owned restaurant from a country on Trump’s travel ban list is the perfect way to avoid most amateur shenanigans and to respect St. Paddy’s Day. Whatever the latter means.

Every time you make a deportation joke about a foreigner you don’t like you normalize this nasty administration. Can we be done with this phase of discovery? Thanks.
