My skating routine would be: I stand there awkwardly as a series of quotes from Real Genius plays, then I fall over and crawl off the ice.

Ah yes, writing, the discipline famously judged primarily by speed. Famously fast writers like Douglas Adams, George R.R. Martin, Henry Miller, and Virginia Woolf must agree.

Second time in 3 days I’m posting this Vonnegut quote wrt AI.

Every Olympic commentator: This next skiier is a grizzled veteran in her fourth Olympics. It’s inspiring seeing her still competing at this advanced age. She’s 33 years old

We need ALL of #BikeChi to come out for the Committee on Pedestrian and Traffic Safety Complete Streets Monday 2/9 at 1pm. We've been keeping close tabs on our haters and we know they're planning to pack this meeting. Let's show them whose streets these are. Feedback: airtable.com/appzWPBWupXr...

“Blazing Saddles” hit theaters on this date in 1974.

With the most robust rail network in the American Midwest, Chicago has the 2nd largest number of car-free households of any metro area (behind only NYC) Most of those households live around the L, especially the Red Line and western parts of the Blue & Green Lines

Also (to repeat myself): once did the math and figured out if the Big Chill was made today the 30 something characters would be nostalgically dancing around to Azealia Banks's 212, but did this long enough ago that it may no longer be accurate.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Italy really missed out on the opening ceremony. Caravaggio should have come out during the musical number and started murdering everyone and making out with random women.

🚨 To Live and Die in LA is streaming on a bunch of platforms right now: the Criterion Channel, Tubi, & Pluto TV. could not recommend it more

Pretty soon there are going to be more sidewalk stamps left than malls.

Guess what Nashville? @bikelaneuprising.bsky.social is coming back, this time with their awesome reflective jackets! Come hang out and try one on in person!

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Post a ship that's not #StarTrek or #StarWars

Maybe he teabagged it

The stalwart alt-weekly @chicagoreader.com, which has served the city for a half century, returns to print today in a new monthly format. I talked to new EIC Sarah Conway about what Chicagoans can expect from this new era for @blockclubchi.bsky.social: blockclubchicago.org/2026/02/04/i...

So @warringtonruncorn.com has gone firmly in my coding music playlist along with @headtech.bsky.social and @datassette.bsky.social Can't go wrong with any of those to stay in the zone.

CHICAGO crash: driver hit bicyclist and bicyclist apparently has injuries. Happened thin the last half hour. West Armitage and North Mozart. Does anyone have more info?

I have a small office that's packed with a carefully curated collection of books, movies, comics, and more. And it depresses the hell out of me that only I get to enjoy it and when I'm gone, it's gone. MAYBE a pack of weirdoes will give my kids a few bucks for the rarer items, but otherwise...meh.
