You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

Bro Country for Old Men — the No Country for Old Men for men

You guys, this film is SO MUCH FUN. I think I’ve seen it five times now, and it delights every single time. Also, it’s Wisconsin AF.

This is the impact and an example of the different types of people YOU help. Younger or aged out of the system and needing help with a start.

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down TRUMP: Uh huh MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade? TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

Goddamn dude, just go ahead knock 25 percent off my 401k and get on with it, I can't take much more of this.

Five bucks to the first reporter to say “Hey, you know what, Mr. President? Go fuck yourself.”

math textbook covers for some reason:

women are always saying “lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre man.” ok well he did. now what. is the world a better place? look at what you’ve wrought.

Loved ones are remembering John Thomas, a 15-year-old valedictorian who was killed on Halloween: "He deserves more." blockclubchi.co/48i1y1A

do you know WHY actors and athletes are so well compensated today that it’s hard to look at them as “labor” because they organized and negotiated for it

It's been a political masterclass from Pope Leo, frankly. I think he was tired of Trump and MAGA co-opting Christianity and said let's get in there and make it an us vs them situation. Make the administration be versus the church. It's smart.

Texas A&M professors have to get clearance from a dean if they want to talk about this game on Monday

Status professions like media have been gutted over the last 25 years and there is no realistic path to earn one of the few seats left through actual merit or accomplishment. Instead, everything involves playing status games with gatekeepers and it's essential that one comes from their social class.

I'm not, but I did get Dance Yrself Clean banned from the jukebox at the Argus in Madison, WI

Re: Epstein’s emails

It is really the closest comfort to find out Angus King is an earnest cowardly moron, and not just a regular cowardly moron

This is from March, but current in the sense that I am also feeling pretty overwhelmed by how fucking evil everything is right now. Too many predators doing too much predatory shit. defector.com/kingdom-of-t...

For NYE this year instead of a ball drop Chicago should have a Italian beef sandwich dip

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

too complicated imo. how about “ever notice how the people complaining about cancel culture are pedophiles?”

I imagine pedophiles hate periods to begin with

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Media, business, politics, you name it -- this country is led by weak, feckless cowards. Our elite, our best & brightest, our leaders, are fucking pathetic. That's the problem. One more bit of evidence isn't going to change that. Feh.

every company in 2025

Republicans will be like oh you just oppose everything Trump does. Well let me tell you, he's 100% right in getting rid of the penny. Fuck the penny.

Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

when new yorkers all experience something on social media it's like a rat that got ahold of a brazil nut. when upper midwesterners all experience something on social media it's a breathtaking dance of radiant light and color across the entire night sky

In Chicago, the courage of good, everyday folks getting in the face of ICE/BP and fighting back is restoring my faith in America In DC, the cowardice of Senate Democrats has undermined it, again America needs a government as good as its people. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Heads up: YouTube TV is giving a $20 credit to subscribers over the Disney/ESPN mess, but you have to actually go into the settings to claim it. This is not a spam tweet, the settings page link is here: tv.youtube.com/settings/ser...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

hell yeah buddy

lol she got his ass and he knows it

The five faces of "are you fucking kidding me"

Happy Friday to you guys

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Al Michaels wants to die watching this game and that's what Thursday Night Football is all about

anyway I love trans people and I love this decisive, unambiguous win for the “shut the fuck up about trans people, you freaks” caucus

Not government as a product you select but government as an activity that we all participate in, decisions we make as communities, and who those communities really are - it's been so absent in how we think of what politics is

Sorry I'm late, I have problems

Logan Square, you're alright

Wow who could have foreseen that the dumbest secret police force in history might cause problems for itself

Underrated how exhausting it is simply to watch this lesson reinforced every day, everywhere: do ill and prosper, or try to do good and struggle forever. Even if it's not *you*, that wears on you.

The main problem with Bluesky is that some of you aren't posting enough Chicago content. This is the premiere Chicago-centered social website, please act accordingly.
