They put one of yours in the hospital, you put out a statement about how disappointed you are. That’s the centrist way.

You may have heard about baby bald eagles being born in Chicago for the first known time in a century. Here are my views of the nest in Park 597, as seen from Indian Ridge Marsh (roughly 700 feet away), shot with an 800 mm lens. Chicago Park District urges people to keep 600 feet away from the nest.

Do you like #zines about abolitionist things? @lucyparsonslabs.com & the #StopShotSpotter campaign has a new one with Building Beyond Policing. 🎺🎺🎺 It's a new comic book about how the campaign won in Chicago to take down ShotSpotter. via @noahjodice.bsky.social noahjodice.com/How-to-Fight...

I’m spending a lot of time looking down in Berlin, it has wonderful personhole covers. This one has all the highlights of the city.

RE: https://floss.social/@gnome/116448955348537230 This is the kind of stuff that actually matters when it comes to queer rights!

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Having returned from Las Vegas, I’m glad to be back in Chicago, but Las Vegas is an experience. Willful. Massive and overwhelming. People surviving in predatory systems, trying to make things work.

When you’re at the airport, and they ask if you’re American, say “No, Southwest.”

Makes me so effing sad …

Thinking about the Incredible Hulk comic from 45 years ago where the Hulk goes to the Middle East

I thought the text was related to the dogs. I have not had coffee yet.

wait are these the actual paid protesters

A high-powered Chicago law firm announced a plan Monday to push for the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge the agents who carried out Operation Midway Blitz. @sophiesherry.bsky.social reports: chicago.suntimes.com/crime/2026/0...

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

BREAKING: A push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort, won the city’s annual snowplow naming contest, officials announced. @wttw.bsky.social

Concrete beaches where dreams are made of

if some guy who sucks has a name that ends in -in you can put an apostrophe after his name in your mind for laffs. Curtis Yarvin’ for example. This works in a different but also good way with guys who kick ass and are cool

“Harold and Maude” was and is very special movie to me. Bud also featured in “But Mom I’m a Cheerleader”. RIP, amazing person.

My Friday cross-town trek lately includes walking South down Wabash from the River. I have been flipped off repeatedly by random folks coming out of businesses or hotels. I was taken aback the first time, then I looked over my shoulder and realized what he real target of the birds was. IYKYK.

Don’t they remember liking La Bamba? Don’t they remember liking Ritchie Valens?

Agree, but please talk to @durbin.senate.gov about this.

To the boomers upset about someone singing popular music in Spanish, don’t you remember La Bamba? Great sounding music can transcend language and you should know it.

the bushes were people 😂

USPS blue mailboxes are stamped with year of manufacture. This is one of the oldest ones I've seen in a while. I am lots of fun at parties.

Something I think about with some frequency is that Leslie Stahl met with Trump when he was President-Elect back in 2015. She asked him something along the lines of, “Now that you’re going to be President, do you think you can cool it with your attacks on the press?” He said no, and that the reason

Give me an iconic #StarTrek image.

In the r/chicago subreddit, both Packers fans and Lions fans are agreeing that it would be worth it for the Bears to win the Super Bowl if it gave is an alternate timeline where we never had to see a President Trump.

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

They lie about us in order to defend attacking us. I keep thinking about that. It’s their main approach these days.

The American Psycho business card scene but it's just people in Minnesota comparing their whistles

Before the game, Cignetti got on a ladder and measured the width of the goal post.

With our cats, we make a big deal whenever their butts are touching.

Okay, wait, but someone told Grok to put a bikini on the Bluesky logo... and Bluesky folks... made it their pfp. And then... the bio:

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Was all set to buy “Love and Theft” when it came out on Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, but then …

if this is his last game, it’ll be the final time an nfl broadcast was airin’ rodgers

Aaron Rodgers's last pass attempt being a pick six is nasty business

Bears fans preparing to riot but the stadium puts Serengeti's "Dennehy" on the PA and they all calm down instantly and begin milling about harmlessly. "Keep the juice in your chops," they mutter to each other, absently if still somewhat warmly. "Keep the juice in your brats."

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

My dad’s name was Bruce Campbell, and for Christmas one year he proudly gifted himself a copy of, “How to Make Love The Bruce Campbell Way.” He was very proud of his purchase.
