I ache with envy

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

The Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, and Mike of garages

Sometimes I think John and Paul only let Ringo be great when they wanted him to.

Cities aren’t scary. You are scared. There’s a difference

US Park Police now doing traffic stops in DC, and charged at me with a baton for filming closer than they liked

Have I mentioned that I fucking hate the Cubs?

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Don’t let this die. Keep elevating this.

I got a flu booster today and it made me reflect on the sense of national accomplishment I felt when I drove to a public facility, waited in my car until my number was called on an app, and got my first covid jab. It's fucked the right gets to erase what a moment of technological liberation that was

Now why the fuck are we in this?

Has Oprah ever really been called out on every grifter she platformed? Every bullshit panic or mystical magical thinking garbage she capitalized on? Her glamorizing consumerism?

With MAGA fascism on the rise, it’s easy to fall into pessimism. But don’t. Gen. Nathaneal Greene wrote in 1779: “The loss of morals and the want of public spirit leaves us almost like a rope of sand.” Two years later, the Continental Army won the Battle of Yorktown and a new nation was born.

I love the vegan food tent at Jeff Fest for trying. I really do.

I fucking hate the Cubs

do you like making more money and not sharing it with nazis? i've got good news for you!

I fucking hate the Cubs

…but free Americans can still read them, 1943.

Au/Small Cheval burgers are good not great. This is known, is it not?

Every so often, I think about the Simpsons "Baby Come Back" gag and it restores my will to live.

The real AI arms race is between one another 🥰 nymag.com/intelligence...

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

Sam has distinct clear framed glasses. Saw some on a masked agent at court last week. Can't say for sure it was him, but thanks to the NY Post for this crystal clear photo of him regardless. 👍

It's 100% normal to grab your dog's face and yell at them how much you love them, right? Because she sure acts like it's not but I think she's being dramatic

Someone chose the song "In Your Eyes" to be the soundtrack of the last minutes of a hot dog eating contest here and I just that's something special

How are we pronouncing the street "Lamon"? I have lived on the NW side for my entire life and have never had to say it out loud.

Fellow thrift store shoppers: do you ever come across old bowling shirts in your adventures?

This is a HUGE scandal. Elon Musk, JD Vance, and Trump are lying about Social Security fraud. Internal documents show DOGE found "no significant fraud"—but did slow retirement claim processing by 25%. Nothing efficient about making it harder for people to get their benefits.

Today, Chicago Park District workers used heavy equipment to evict unhoused people from Gompers Park on the Northwest Side. While residents were given some opportunity to save belongings, all remaining tents and possessions were destroyed this morning.

Has anyone else noticed that using the word "expensive" is getting used as an aspirational a lot more lately? Like rather than wanting to look attractive, or cool, or chic, marketing copy is offering advice on how to achieve an *expensive* look.

The blood of Christ is now Malört

Starting next Thursday on NBC.... Chicago Pope

did they just pick the guy most easily able to yell at JD Vance

So we got... deep-dish Pizzaballa

Finally Italy must admit Chicago deep dish is real pizza.
