Imagine if a Democratic politician said “a lot of people didn’t like him” with respect to that assassinated podcaster. Seriously.

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting. As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

Oh, so now it's fine to have a war on Christmas

I'm at the Target boycott, I'm at the Starbucks boycott, I'm at the combination Target boycott and Starbucks boycott

If only humans were like other animals and naturally came in vibrant colors if they're poisonous or otherwise deadly.

The artist known as Kozmo created her signature happy cheeseburger more than 10 years ago, when she was invited to participate in an art show about Mother Nature. Now, you can find cheery cheeseburgers bursting from the center of pink-petaled flowers all around Chicago.

I truly find this so upsetting. Animal videos were a small delight out of the hellscape that is this unpredictable life, and now I’ll be halfway through one and realized it’s AI and it’s just so crushing.

Maybe the tent system is the problem? Let’s try something more structurally sound than a tent, it might work out

If your big tent is large enough to accommodate Nazis, then it’s a Nazi tent.

I just realized that WICKED is almost totally ripped-off from The Wizard of Oz and I can’t believe people aren’t talking about it.

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent cattle I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

I saw some people who I don’t know talking about something I don’t know about here on this very website. Rather than demand that they stop their discussion and explain what’s going on to me, I kept scrolling and will soon forget about it. This option is available to you as well!

Chicago baby

thing about autism is if you work really hard for many years, you can learn through trial-and-error how to navigate social situations and interpersonal connections SO effectively that people don't really believe you're autistic anymore and resent you for not being perfect at nonverbal communication

McRib is back!

The emergency brake on this train says "FINE FOR MISUSE" so I guess it's okay if you want to mess with it

Actually in my plans for today already!

Tidy up

Groovy exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art of LGBTQ+ art and activism with Chicago connections. Always love to see Nick Cave's stuff!

The Firelei Báez exhibit opened yesterday at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art, and it's amazing!

Saw some of @marc-fischer.bsky.social's work at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

The Yoko Ono exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art is excellent. Creating art helps you see things in a different way. Everyone's invited to participate in some of the works; I contributed a shark to one piece.

After watching Frankenstein, I woke up in the middle of the night screaming: "Why didn't the creature have a beard?!"

The rest of us are forced to go bankrupt just for existing so that a cadre of rich freaks can rape children with impunity. But no, the real problem is immigrants and trans folk

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

I'm on the (it's not called) "Miracle Mile" in Chicago, and, oh, the horrible crime I am witnessing! (The crime is: more people should be walking cute dogs here.)

I know there’s been a lot of nostalgia for the 90s but I don’t think the part people were desperate to go back to was the Clinton blowjob jokes

Sharing is caring

Refreshing non-alcoholic lavender and ginger cocktail at lunch.

It’s wild that you can just openly bribe the President of the United States with chunks of gold to get whatever you want, it’s fine, you don’t have to hide it, just say “I am bribing the President with gold,” zero consequences.

Humans need other human beings to survive. I'm sorry that this makes some people lose their shit but it's one of the key truths of life.

We're closing out the week on tenterhooks, because it's the fourth week of not meeting these six families' urgent needs. That means delays in accessing healthcare, getting shelter before winter, recovering from malnutrition. A high cost for them, a cheap price for us—no? chuffed.org/project/hope...

*looks at timeline* Ok I’m bringing the baby Great Egret floofs out of the “emergency cute” archive. #birds 🌿

There are baby capybaras at the Cape May Zoo! www.phillyvoice.com/cape-may-cou... Which is why my 9-year-old had us out of the house at 6AM to catch the Lewes-Cape May Ferry.

Now is the time to prepare to not set your house on fire this Thanksgiving.
