Spammin ur timeline with sidewalks again

Socialism is good for The Economy™️ pass it on

I thought it was NJB videos but the real radicalization moments were utterly banal —children running around unsupervised, a group of middle aged women walking from pub to pub, the whisper of a tram gliding by a traffic-free street

Today would be a great day to purchase all privately owned tracks that Metra runs on

Too hot. Rain was better

it's homophobic to reduce frequencies on the weekend

The unspoken, imaginary tension between myself and a fellow traveller I briefly locked eyes with

No officer, I meant All Cars Are Bastards. I am an urbanist you see,

Build a bus you cowards

Petition to make the Pink and Green take the same direction around the loop

Bring winter back it too hot out

DraftKings closing their Wrigley sportsbook and blaming Illinois wagering laws is genuinely a huge win for those laws

Aight fess up who angered the gods

Hope for the world: coworker made the rounds asking everyone if we’d still study finance/economics if we could go back to college And not a soul said yes

Transportation policy failure so bad it shows up at 1AM

“I love walking in the Loop during rush hour” — no one, ever

I too enjoy a rainy day in the park, friend

A bike ride would fix me but worrrrrrrrrk

I don’t like that people say “Chicago is smaller than New York” like that is a good thing. They are wrong. It is a point of shame. We need to be bigger and more affordable than the Big Apple.
