Today’s the 50th anniversary of the release of “A Trick of the Tail” from #Genesis. Such a great album!

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

A year or so after Communique, #DireStraits came back with their third album, "Making Movies". This is another that I didn't know well at all. I knew the lead tracks, Tunnel of Love and Romeo & Juliet. But each of the other tracks here are new to me. #MusicMonday

Hopefully, I won’t have to say this again next year, because I’ve been saying it every year for a while. But next year starts now. #BillsMafia

It must be hard that everywhere they look, from the Super Bowl halftime show to the Olympics, the fascists in the U.S. see an utter repudiation of their hateful, evil worldview

For today only - Go Hawks! #BillsMafia

Excited to see a new teaser from Cockpit Casual / @stevenomadic.bsky.social on YouTube this morning. New episodes coming soon. #BitOfJoy youtu.be/YcZckJ_Q_ec?...

You’re not winning with changes in mask rules. You’re not winning with body cams. You’re not winning with enhanced training. Every democrat will be hounded to the ends of the earth if there is support for ICE / DHS in any way. Voting to fund DHS is voting to fund murder. We will not forget.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that #PinkFloyd's "The Wall" was a regular student selection during our weekend stage crew work, back in high school. #LesMiserables was similarly an every-week faculty selection, and it became something I loved, and still do. #MusicMonday #TopPickDiscs

Dear ICE/DHS/CBP you have no idea what level of compassion and love for our neighbors you have opened up in Minnesota! 3,000+ cyclists in 20° weather biked seven miles for a man we loved, a city we love, and ALL of our neighbors that we love. Whose Streets? Our Streets!

The bike wackos came out today, 3-5k of them in Minneapolis. It was warmer than it has been for a long time, about 17 degrees! Photo by @brianmitchl.com

Proud of you, Milwaukee 🫡

People turning out for Alex Pretti

Some photos from the Chicago memorial ride for Alex Pretti, where lots of folks came out in solidarity with similar rides across the country. Organized by @babski.bsky.social and @bikegridnow.org, with remarks from Kyle Lucas from @betterstreetschicago.org

Took a ride with a large group of folks to honor and remember Alex Pretti and all the others killed by ICE. Thanks to @babski.bsky.social for organizing the #BikeChi event, and @bikegridnow.org for supporting and marshaling!

Today at 1:15! The roads are a mess but we're still riding. We'll be rolling extra cautiously and will have marshals to help us get through intersections

Winter cyclists … is this a terrible fender to have for riding in the snow? Is there too much risk of clogging and freezing with this? Would I be better served removing it? Or will this be okay for city street riding, basically for one ride? #BikeChi

There can be some gatekeeping in the cycling community so just remember that when it comes to biking there are only two rules: Wear what you want. Ride what you want and don't let anyone tell you differently @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

Bovino’s not enough. @duckworth.senate.gov you and your colleagues cannot view this as enough. Cameras and “more training” are NOT acceptable. Removing Bovino is not enough. Voting to find DHS is voting to fund murder.

Details for the memorial ride for Alex Pretti in Chicago this weekend. - Meet at 1:15pm, Roll at 1:30pm - John Walsh Park (E end of The 606) - Route to come, we will roll @ party pace (casual, no drop) toward the VA on Damen where a memorial is set up for Alex. See you Saturday.

Hmm, firing McDermott and then just elevating Brady feels a lot like if they fired Bovino and just replaced him with Homan; that’s not a good enough change! Oh, wait, that’s exactly what those guys did too. Not a good couple days for enacting actual change within an organization. #BillsMafia

Feed cleanser - oldest aviation image on my phone. 2014 Chicago Air and Water show. I live near the northern turnaround for the faster jets, and used to be able to get on my building’s roof to watch.

Bovino’s not enough. @duckworth.senate.gov you and your colleagues cannot view this as enough. Cameras and “more training” are NOT acceptable. Removing Bovino is not enough. Voting to find DHS is voting to fund murder.

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

This little project is supposed to be my way of finding joy in the world, and spreading that joy to my tens of followers. There is no joy after this weekend, and these past few weeks. What's happening in Minneapolis and around the country; there is no joy. Hopefully next week. #MusicMonday

the entire difference between kyle rittenhouse and alex pretti is that kyle rittenhouse was there to shoot people the cops wanted to shoot and alex pretti was there to protect people the cops wanted to shoot

I would appreciate it if @duckworth.senate.gov would remind her IL colleague that he’s not running again, and doesn’t need to court the center. Voting to fund DHS is voting to fund murder. Voting to fund DHS is voting to fund murder. Voting to fund DHS is voting to fund murder.

Due to a work call I had, my wife and I ate separately tonight. When she saw that I cooked up some salmon, she needed to leave the room, because I apparently chew salmon too loudly. Tell me your wife is perimenopausal without telling me your wife is perimenopausal.

like the writer here, this thread did not leave me where it found me

it’s so funny when the media is like “why are libs cutting Trump voters out of their lives? clearly it’s the intolerant left!” when in reality we are just fed up by the dumbest most evil people we know speedrunning the destruction of our country in slavish devotion to the cult of a mad king

Looking at the Bills’ roster vs the Giants’ roster; think Harbaugh’s wishing he had waited a few extra days? Or maybe he’s excited for the challenge of building something, which I totally respect.

A couple months after his former mates released "Duke", #PeterGabriel came back with his third solo release, colloquially known as 'Melt'. I've listened to it quite a few times this week, and I'm still struggling with my thoughts. #MusicMonday

Seeing that the Bears lost (I didn’t watch it) doesn’t remove the sting from the Bills loss. But if the Bills can’t win it all, at least I know that neither can the Bears.

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

So, how are we feeling this morning, #BillsMafia? Change at either or both of the Coordinators? Change at the Head Coach? All 3? 1 of 4 teams to win a playoff game in 6 straight seasons. Only one not to win (let alone go) to a Super Bowl in that stretch. Change is required.

My wife just looked at me and asked, Is this always how you feel during these games? I can’t take the stress!”

Well, this certainly looks really bad.

WTF?

Chicago Union Station should be a pillar of the rail revolution — the core of a modern, connected railway network. Imagine Metra reborn as true regional rail — nimble, electric trains running all day, not just at rush hour. www.hsrail.org/blog/electri...

Every Saturday morning, Amazon decides to add pineapple chunks to my cart, and email me about it. Every Saturday Morning If I don’t delete them, just stays there. If I do remove them from my cart; like the swallows to Capistrano, Saturday morning comes, and so does my pineapple.

The driver is almost never in danger.

Love this explanation of Libertarians!

Two years after their last album, #Genesis returns with "Duke". And I personally think it's a really strong return, especially after my disappointment in the last two releases. The band written songs are better, and the individual songs are (mostly) better too. #MusicMonday

COLE BISHOP CALLS GAME

Okay, so I very actively root against my hometown team. And unless it’s better for my Bills, I always root against the Bears. So this is killing me. But there is something about them this year.

Really feels like just telling military to draw up plans to invade an ally should be an impeachable offense regardless of party

To stay up-to-date on breaking news, we are sunsetting our coverage of: - The Venezuelan boat assassinations - The Tom Homan bribery case - The dismantling of the CDC, USAID, and Department of Education - Alligator Alcatraz - The pardon of drug traffickers - The Qatari jet - The Epstein files

Wore my Bills cap down to the coffee shop this morning to get my tea. Mr. Brightside was on the Spotify as I walked in. Choosing to take that as a good sign for Sunday afternoon! #BillsMafia (Being in Chicago, the woman making my tea was not nearly as interested in my joy at the positive omen)

IYKYK Was always a highlight of driving out east to visit my dad’s parents; beef on ‘weck, with horseradish, crinkle fries, and a birch beer! Klaus, Ray and the whole team taking care of everyone. More than anything else, that place makes me remember my grandparents so fondly.
