getting closer to a bingo

who is "and many more"??? I bet it isn't anybody because you literally can't organize this shit four weeks out. its not possible logistically. you know who you're putting on the bill at something like Cold Waves 8 to 12 months out and that doesnt really have any stakes other than disappointed goths

possibly half the names on the flyer could turn out to be artists they were "in communication" with in terms of contracts who were just too polite to firmly tell them to fuck off. C&C Music Factory??? the whole thing reads like a Pixelated Boat bit

I…I think this means they are terrified that @davidjroth.bsky.social will run for Congress?

Say it with me:

hopefully this is the year America finally ends its 250-year championship drought

transphobes really get fooled by anything

I posted something about the joy of doing creative work, how the time spent is often of real value, and an AI bro said "You're just saying that to make a point." No, my friend, I've lived my entire adult life that way and I am older than VCRs.

NYC gets this. We still get Instagram reels featuring Brandon Johnson looking us dead in the eyes and darkly catastrophizing about the latest “teen trend.” Even in the littlest ways, a better world is possible. Why can’t we have it?

Once you see a real mayor mayoring, you'll look at your own like

If I was caught up in an embezzlement probe and lawsuit by the state when I was mayor I might ask that a building that was named in my honor be phrased a little differently but you do you.

TIL the national bird of nepal

Provost said - and this is an exact quote - "we are scholars, and we are driven by curiosity" and then proceeded to completely dismiss all forms of knowledge that don't bring in millions of dollars in grant money as useless if not burdensome.

Meta Stock is up 2% on news that they're gonna add a pay tier for Facebook and Instagram lol, this cycle is so close to over

The Cubs are great if you just want to watch 10 of something

One thing that's definitely in Talarico's favor is that the chances of Ken Paxton committing a felony between now and November are insanely high

Football trouble or Early Modern intrigue?

Yessir, the South is gonna change. Everything’s gonna be put on electricity and run on a paying basis. Out with the spiritual mumbo-jumbo, the superstition and the backward ways. We’re gonna see a brave new world where they run everybody a wire and hook us all up to a grid.

One must hold in one’s mind that bad is still bad but worse is much worse

“It’s for safety - we compare your photo against a database of problem patrons across all our locations” - cool so you’re not just scanning my face to match my ID, you’re storing my biometrics on third party hardware.

What fresh hell is this? TuneUp in Avondale wanted to scan my face to go inside? No thanks, 4EG. Easybar, Getaway, Remedy, aliveOne, Central Park, Owl, Estelles all owned by this group. Plenty of wonderful taverns in Chicago, no way in hell am I serving up my biometrics to buy a $10 beer.

Honestly, one of the funniest tweets I've ever seen.

Due to popular demand.. The true size of California compared to the United States

Hey @blagojevism.bsky.social here it is

MIA from work but still trading stocks is extremely on brand for a Congressman in 2026.

A quote from the encyclical is going directly into my slide deck for PublicSpaces, which is not at all how I expected this chapter of my life to go

Every claim in the un-highlighted paragraph here is wrong.

“The old world is dying. What are we going to build?" Poster seen in front of Azteca Stadium in Mexico City before the World Cup 2026.

Rogers Park homies, go check out Wheelie Good Bikes - David is super sweet, and he's trying to make a cozy community space with his new shop!

A Pope is a Pope and will always believe many things I do not believe, but that does not change how absolutely bang-on correct and beautifully articulated this is.

Okay i will do discourse. If you believe all human skills will be able to stored within AI, the implication is that we should just run all business as a state monopoly with no profits. only do entrepreneurship on the edges

jesus christ it’s genuinely wild how dumb this man is

Adding my 2 cents to the many comments along these lines, as a historian and also a person who lived through it, no—it wasn’t. And it’s revisionist history if not outright propaganda to claim it was. Do better @npr.org

see? is that so hard? is that such a difficult argument to make? this is what I want to see out of Democrats Tom Steyer, you have my vote

I have been thinking about this headline at least once per week for the last three years

3–0… The most dangerous lead in hockey

3–0… The most dangerous lead in hockey

It’s bizarre that the press hasn’t noted this more. Turning the Butler attempt into a big show at the convention was practically inviting more people to give it a go.

If I told you ten years ago all of the Jeopardy winners, doctors, lawyers, stat-focused sports nerds, and premium shitposters escaped Twitter on a pirate ship to a website that was completely inhospitable to Nazis and phrenologists……. I don’t know, man, I’d be pretty excited.

thank god we have kelly. this is such a perfectly phrased reminder of something i’ve been ruminating on a lot lately. this hit me like a lightning bolt. stop inviting people to surrender.

What if we kissed under the Ross Dress for Less Museum of Illusions

“Everyone is 12 now” remains undefeated

With Hester Peirce leaving, we will have the least-functional market regulatory regime in my lifetime. New piece from me at Nadig.com ... it's institutional decay as policy: www.nadig.com/p/stealth-de...
