Bovino & Co. were sent to Chicago to terrorize the community while DHS created content—not mass deportations. They're a strike team that built a template for laying seige to an unwelcoming city, both the initial attack and the response to resistance. Relief for us is another city's incoming pain

I had a doctor in college who told me I should always wash my hands after peeing, not because the activity made my hands dirty, but because life makes your hands dirty, and washing after you pee is just a way to make sure you wash your hands regularly (and thus get sick less).

SOME GOOD NEWS, FINALLY I might cry

I don’t know who I made this for. Maybe it’s you.

In the early/mid 80s when the movie industry was forced to accept the concept of home video, films on VHS routinely cost $100. There were displays in every rental store to tell you if you ruined a tape you rented you would have to pay $100. This was why renting ever existed.

All of these look like guys who have propositioned me online without using any punctuation.

Maybe the reason ICE wears masks is that they all look like what if Santa had a brother with a domestic violence record who couldn’t read

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Was lips still exist and people are paying American dollars for them

Every Halloween there’s this debate about whether candy corn or circus peanuts are the worst candy. It’s like people have completely forgotten about wax lips. (Do they even still make wax lips?)

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

More good environmental news!! It’s possible to fix our mistakes!

This. I don’t want to hear one word about “protecting the children” unless you truly mean protecting the hearts and minds of trans kids, too (& by that I mean, let kids live and thrive as they are, trans and real and kids). Hold them, feed them, let them read and play, have friends and future. 🏳️‍⚧️🖖

Waking up to the end of daylight saving time is so weird these days. Used to be you’d wake up and look at the clock and do some early morning MATH and tell yourself it’s not 9am, it’s really 8am. Nowadays your clocks all just adjust themselves automatically and you wake up curiously not tired.

Man goes to the doctor, says his achievements are meaningless and lost in the sands of time. Doctor says, “You should go see the ruined statue of Oxymandias, king of kings! Look upon his works, ye mighty, and despair!” Man despairs, shaking sand out of his vast, trunkless legs, “But doctor...”

GOOD MORNING! So anyway it’s Halloween and I’m on the radio? Let’s gets spooky together or whatever. Tune in at 107.1fm and chirpradio.org

Far north suburban Waukegan is reeling from ICE raids

"They are coming for people just trying to get by. Landscapers, roofers, tamale women, Lyft drivers waiting in a lot at Ohare, the people standing outside a Home Depot hoping that today might be better than yesterday," @dansinker.com writes: dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

"They come not for the 'worst of the worst,' as they so repeatedly claim, because that would mean they would be coming for themselves. …"

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

I have to tell you, I was moving my car this morning after doing some community volunteering, right as @tonybreed.bsky.social was on @chirpradio.org introducing Billy Bragg’s cover of Woody Guthrie’s “All You Fascists” and my heart swelled with local pride. The fascists are going to lose.

New comic: Leaving? muddlersbeat.com/comic/leaving/

THAT director aside, Diane Keaton’s performance in Annie Hall opened spaces for women in film: what romantic leads could look like, dress like, sound like; that there could be a place for an oddball who wasn’t a screwball. That’s all her - Keaton was such a brilliant actress and icon, truly

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

So, anyway, I’ve been in Paris for a week, and I just wanted to say the state of inflation in the US is such that everything seems pretty reasonably priced here. €7 for TWO coffees? A steal!

Welcome to London Heathrow. Follow the purple signs. At the end of the hallway is another hallway. Turn left after that, and go down another hallway. It’s hallways all the way down.

I can't thank enough all the animators on this project for bringing my little dog to life. A lot of indie animators whose work I follow and love a whole lot too! I knew what was coming, but the final product is still leaving me speechless. Thank you to all who worked on this! YOURE THE BEST
