Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

“It’s a fishing show.”

Concave lenses curve so that they look like a cave. Convex lenses curve so they look like a… vex.

Tonight… Screening of John Candy: I Like Me at the Chicago Theater. After film chat with Ryan Reynolds, Chris Candy, and Jim Belushi. Onions were cut.

Last night… 45th anniversary screening of The Blues Brothers at Old Joliet Prison, where the opening scenes were filmed. Absolutely incredible! 🎥🎬🕶️

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

The #AlienEarth finale wasn’t the most satisfying thing, but I enjoyed the season overall very much. I see posts online of people critical of it, because what they wanted didn’t happen. Well that’s because someone else is telling the story. Maybe they should try a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Hey, a bunch of people pushed back on a multi billion dollar corporation, and it got results. Let’s do more of that shit please!

I feel indifference when the Duolingo app icon is in tears. No feelings whatsoever. What does that say about me as a person?

I don’t think I know enough about Kpop to fully appreciate Kpop Demon Hunters, and that’s ok… it was still enjoyable. That said, I would enter a burning building to save Derpy and Sussie.

Lady and the Tramp is a horror movie if you’re a strand of spaghetti.

Fuck-marry-kill… Soup-salad-sandwich.

HasLab Golden Girls House funding has unlocked the lanai level!

The paradoxical nature of today’s events is breaking my brain.

Bold new frontiers in irony.

Sorry, Trump: Chicago is not the "murder capital of the world" — not even close, data shows. blockclubchi.co/4mceha8

Throwback to two days ago when I was blessed by the Malort Pope.

An audience with the King (2025). #PuppetryATL

Made some swag.

The analogy isn’t 1:1, but I appreciate the comparisons of #AlienEarth to #Andor. It is possible to have long format series that completely revitalize IP that’s maybe a bit long in the tooth. Enjoying this ride so very much.

lol-ing at all the posts over on r/whatisthisbug that are some variation of the following: “What is this bug that I found in my bed?”

I also take myself out of the running of playing James Bond.

Rereading this for the first time in eons to prepare for a thing. 1/3rd of the way thru. Some observations thus far: 1. After Wu explains the Dino’s are all female, characters are referring to dinos as “he”. Juvenile T. rex and raptor pack specifically. Foreshadowing? Or just a default pronoun?

It’s easier to stop fascism today than it is tomorrow.

Urbs in horto. #Chicago

New Xenomorph lore just dropped. #AlienEarth

This man has zero idea what the fuck he's talking about. Eat shit and stay away from Chicago.

For Captain Lovell.

Because life doesn’t have enough stress, frustration, and disappointment. Time to fire up this classic… 🎮🕹️🐸

Oh shi-

Lolla-POO-looza commence!

Physical media pickup. Also an incredibly deep cut. #KnowingIsHalfTheBattle

Bad Bunny’s back must hurt from carrying Happy Gilmore 2.

I was buying stuff for work when I came across this. Now you have to see it too.

Self care as of late has been listening to Bonanas for Bonanza podcast. I should probably watch a few episodes of Bonanza at some point, but that sounds like the opposite of self care.

Physical Media!

Color. Just noticed. Probably nothing. 🟦🟥⬛️

Bring back the Colbert Report!

Pretty fucked that the second most important liquid in the world is called “gas.”

Work today. Saw a camp group that was clearly a mom and her 3 kids. Matching t-shirts and everything. I don’t want to assume anything about their story or circumstances, but it was evident the mom loved her kids and wanted to provide them with a summer camp experience. I think that’s beautiful.

I feel like the last one to get my copy. Sooo excited to read it. Troy and Craig should be very proud!

5 things: 1. I ordered a caprese salad for lunch. 2. I like mozzarella cheese. 3. This “salad” was 95% cheese. 4. I have found the threshold for “too much cheese.” 5. I can’t remember the last time a meal has angered me so much.

Tell me you’re on the list without actually telling me you’re on the list.

An ode to Frances.

I like turtles. 🐢
