She's running to replace Dick Durbin and, uh, to say this is a welcome change in tone and attitude would be a hell of an understatement.

Today I dropped off food for an immigrant/refugee family in this neighborhood. I noticed the torn up signs but didn’t know the backstory.

It might be fun to upload vet records as medical records, though

Happy Paczki Day!

This week, we have the Lunar New Year & Mardi Gras coinciding on Tuesday and the start of Lent & Ramadan on Wednesday.

I thought monobob is something I buy bras to prevent, not a sport

Welcome, BlueSky, to learning Chris Quinn is a pompous jerk happy to personally profit while killing local journalism! I’ve been a hater for years. Here are good Cleveland media outlets to support: @clevelandscene.bsky.social www.ideastream.org signalcleveland.org thelandcle.org

More billionaires should buy a sports team, sink a ton of money into it, and win a trophy. I think it would make them so much happier than buying media conglomerates, or politicians, or hoarding their wealth like a dragon. When is the last time you saw Musk or Besos look this happy

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Roses are red, They look nice on a shrine Here is the skull, Of St. Valentine. (Photo taken in Rome’s Chiesa di Santa Maria in Cosmedin of the relic of the 3rd Century martyr, a cleric who ministered to persecuted Christians and could apparently restore sight to the blind.)

"So, how's America going? How are your reps? Everything nice and normal?"

Maybe they can do a cleanse or exorcism before Pairs and Ladies skate. But cheers for the Kazakh kid, he’s adorable.

1? There are a couple foods I do not like but will eat to be polite and/or if they are fried (zucchini, eggplant). I like all the weird ones (liver, shellfish including snails). I love olives stuffed with blue cheese, preferably in a martini Bananas are a hard no.

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you

IANAL, but I’ve been waiting for someone to make this argument! This regime is ignoring laws that are inconvenient to them

RIP James Van Der Beek. By all accounts, a good guy with a great sense of humor. #fuckcancer

Sooo, just how many rapists did Les Wexner hang out with?

I love the woke dog rates dude.

The Best of Curling implies NBC/Peacock could create The Worst of Curling if they really wanted to

Extra interesting because KPMG also provides audit services. I doubt they are voluntarily lowering their fees.

This book is either about Ohio politicians, @rooster.info, or The Mothman and friends

I see so many Macbeth jokes, but clearly these are Puerto Rican Ents.

In case you missed the moment. Art is powerful

Me: I don't totally understand what I'm watching but I love it. Them: I don't totally understand what I'm watching so I hate it.

Thank you for all the Superb Owl content. Many of them are, indeed, superb.

Remember that Rosa Parks broke the law when she refused to give up her seat on that bus. What is right is not always legal, and what is legal is not always right.

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist. Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

Some good news for the day (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

Dad’s side: did not want to join the Russian army, esp as ancestor was Polish. Mom’s side: generally wanting more opportunity/a better life, but there also might have been some local scandal they were happy to leave behind

I love this

10/10 ICE protest sign

❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad little Liam got his hat and backpack back. I don’t know why that detail really got to me, but it did.

I also love a terrier. RIP, Catherine O’Hara. youtu.be/yC8rZq3oKuI?...

His voters really should have thought through Trump’s promise to run America like a business

This Machine Plows Fascists

pretty incredible story in here about how you can go from sitting on your couch to radicalized and in the streets in record time: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I am delighted the tradition of improvised sleds continues at @ohiouniversity.bsky.social

Stay warm and safe, friends #UglyDogs

It pales compared to everything else, but ICE has absolutely eaten a lot of bodily fluids in their food and washed/bathed with a lot of tainted toiletries

There is no such thing as other people’s children ❤️

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.

If someone was tear gassing my neighborhood, I’d figure out how to buy a gas mask real quick

We’re gonna make it after all ❤️

Imagine posting “our rogue police can’t poop* in peace” and expecting sympathy. *They’re mostly dudes and there are dozens of ways for them to pee. Some special snowflake needed quiet 💩 time.
