Ant slamming on RJ Barrett + replay

This is a huge story.

i spent all summer organizing for dedicated transit lanes against typical toronto nimbys who claimed that "emergency vehicles would get stuck in traffic and more people would die" anyways, here's real life:

quitting time

want so badly for one of them to skate up and say "I'm gay!"

From 1894-1921, the Field Museum was located in the Palace of Fine Arts in Jackson Park (now home to the Griffin MSI). When it moved to its present home in Grant Park, its enormous collection was moved *by train* on temporary tracks connecting the two buildings to the Illinois Central railroad.

and you should be as good a customer as JG! He funded all the gambling I'm gonna do this weekend 😝

a woman's back muscles. share if you agree.

I only know bc there's a station down the block (living blissfully on my bicycle), gas up $0.40 since two days ago.

Drivers: Drivers are extremely safe and law-abiding at all times even though the speed limit is far too low and they could be trusted to travel at the speed of sound, especially at night. Also drivers: You were riding a BIKE? On a ROAD? Are you trying to make me KILL you?

SAY HER NAME AGAIN…I DARE SOMEONE #Survivor50

I was driving south on Clark St with a cyclist in the bike lane next to me and watched as a VW SUV driver in front of me cut off and narrowly sideswiped the cyclist to turn into the Staples parking lot. The driver then tried to speed away through the parking lot turning onto Greenview north.

didn't think it was possible, Coach got dumber #Survivor50 #Survivor

Sto lat, Chicago

Roses are red Tulips are bright

Anyone know somewhere local (Chicago) that takes and distributes donations for medical devices? I still have the knee braces from surgery last year just collecting dust in my closet... These damn things cost several hundred dollars each, someone could surely use them more than me

Roses are red My brain is all goo

US culture to cyclists, everywhere: Bike riders are such insufferable entitled snobs. Also, when they are riding it’s important for everyone to make credible threats against their lives

RETVRN to bikemaxxing Chicago mayors. Carter Harrison 1897, "Not the champion cyclist but the cyclists' champion."

At Home Depot on Addison and Kimball today

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

How to win in November

I love the Paralympics so much lol

I have not had a chance to pay attention to most of the candidates in Illinois year. People who know me: is there a good voting guide or two I can review to get a sense of what's going on in the less high-profile races?

Me to Paul Newman’s family at the funeral: may his memory be a dressing

DREAMS, dir. Akira Kurosawa, 1990

I've now printed and shipped over 20,000 whistles, sent across the country to groups that need em. That's 20,000 off a single 3d printer that has basically run continuously in my basement since about mid-January. The crew I print with has sent out over 1M now, and we can send to you too. toot.supply

Candidates who don’t support trans folks are not viable as dems for voters under 65. This isn’t identity politics, it’s a basic moral alignment issue.

Bro, ICE is still here kidnapping people, now they’ve even got transit vans advertising fake companies.

Themed bike shop idea: bike dentist. there's a waiting room with an aquarium. powered lift. mechanics wearing masks and scrubs. soft jazz plays. pictures on the ceiling???

is this a "Safety Last!" reference?

Kid came home with a 3D printed ICE whistle one of her classmates gave out to everyone and knew exactly what to do and what it is used for. I'm happy she has one, but I'm sad she needs to. My 9 year old does active shooter drills and knows the government is kidnapping her friends and their parents

Raja is an absolutely terrible choice folks.

"I fear some [council members] are indifferent." Have you paid someone's rent, organized a fundraiser, gone on patrol, found someone an attorney, done someone's laundry, delivered groceries, held a baby of someone sheltering in fear? "If not you may be too far removed to have good judgment."

Artists! I am looking for a Jewish illustrator for a middle-grade project focusing on Jewish history, practice, and culture. If your style feels fun, MG-appropriate, and both editorial & narrative, please drop a link or DM! (And editor & agent friends, if you have someone to rec, it's appreciated!)

just wild how many car models don't have turn signals as a standard feature anymore
