The Gonzaga women's vb team has a woman named Sjakkie Donkers and the announcers keep pronouncing this name as "Chonky Donkers" and I can't stop laughing.

That MFer Bovino in front of La Chapparita makes my blood boil. Immigrant owned place that welcomes everyone to share their incredible food. He is the antithesis of places like that.

MCC Academy's girls volleyball team is the first from an Islamic school to advance to an Illinois High School Association sectional. “We wanted to represent our community in the best way possible.”

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Me every time Ms. Rowling opens her mouth.

I told a male coworker I don't like voice notes so please don't send them to me as we can just talk when we're both available and he melted down for like 20 minutes.

I just finished making these for my quilt retreat this weekend. It's one of my go-tos when I am making something for a group that I might not know their food sensitivities bc it's gluten-free. It tastes MUCH better than the Rice Krispies treats we grew up eating. smittenkitchen.com/2009/11/salt...

“I wanna give you a layup to disavow white supremacy, so here ya go” “No thanks”

THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?

As the proverb says, “Do what you love and you will be unemployable”

Truly the biggest heroes on Bluesky are the people who don't live in Chicago but love to explain to Chicagoans that the ICE bullshit is designed to be cruel and terrorizing. I've seen like four posts like this today and YEAH WE KNOW WE'RE LIVING THROUGH IT.

I want sandwich guy murals in every major U.S. city by Sunday. Get to work, you talented lot of street artists. 🫡🫡🫡

I am here for each and every sandwich pun you can come up with about the sandwich guy being free.

So in the WNBA when a player is injured her teammates often surround her holding towels to shield the injured athlete and give her privacy. In Trump’s White House, they run out of the room when someone gets sick.

I certainly hope every outlet reporting on future DHS statements notes their documented history of lies, including a federal judge repeatedly saying they are liars.

Bovino is a Chicago villain in the tradition of Henry Rhines, the 1840s Chicago cop who spent most of his energy trying to find people who’d escaped slavery (or at least looked like they had) and pretending he had the authority to arrest them. A NY paper called him “a degraded drunken wretch.”

NOT CRYING

Shit just got real. Chicago scripture.

She's beautiful.

Thanks for your service, Nance, but also it's been time.

Coming soon from the same organization that gave us Argentina 1978, Russia 2018, Qatar 2022… and which was busted 10 years ago by the Obama DOJ

a reminder, should you have a partner working late / out of town and are following the natural urge to eat something stupid: I moved the post over years ago, you don't need Twitter screenshots

the President of the WNBA Players Association aligning herself with a Saudi-backed women's basketball league -- amidst a crucial CBA negotiation -- kind of feels like hustling backwards

Today has been a tough one. Here is Sully all tangled up.

NEWS: ICE agent charged with drunken driving after shift at Broadview detention center. Car crash into a hedgerow. Trump’s Midway Blitz is claimed to be inspired by an undocumented drunk driving death. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/05/i...

Every actual quote I hear about the sandwich trial is what I imagine the trial of the Hamburglar would sound like when he finally got hit with those RICO charges.

For the second time since the beginning of "Operation Midway Blitz," my sister has called me terrified because of ICE targeting her. She is OK physically and was not detained, but this is taking a toll on her (and everyone who loves her.

Did someone just break out the Cricut and some gold vinyl? So, so, so tacky.

I like this one

Pre-verdict verdict: this criminal defense attorney is setting new records in Fun Case

The Museum of Science and Industry is going to do an exhibit of Paul Tazewell costumes. If you're hearing joyful screaming coming from Uptown, that's me. www.griffinmsi.org/exhibits/pau...

Anyway. Don't waste time with straw men. Respond to the real world, and do good work. Everything else is bullshit.

side note: whenever I see "IT: Welcome To Derry" advertised on the streaming apps it takes me a second to remember that it's not a Derry Girls spinoff, and then i think that it should be a Derry Girls spinoff.

HMmmm, which retired house member was this who ran a stop sign in Mayfair?

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Joe McKeown from Northwestern is a rarity in big time college sports. He’s been a head coach for 44 years and has had the job at just three schools. I talked to him before he starts his final season before retirement. sports.yahoo.com/womens-colle...

I hope Curtis Sliwa still goes to parades.

if we get to see great crashouts tonight I do not want to see anybody complaining about twitter screenshots on here

Omg I’m dying 😂😂😂…so…So Emily Austin, a right wing 'influencer' who works for Bibi and the GOP, launched 'Hot Girls for Cuomo'. Guess who didn't bother to register the URL when she did that? What do you think Hot Girls for Cuomo dot com leads to now?... 😄 Enjoy. [ HotGirlsforCuomo.com ]

Less than a minute in Tenn-NC ST (on ESPN2) and I have no idea who is going to win. It's so much fun.

Another lovely Fall day in Chicago, this time featuring photos from ground level!

Wow. Thanks to you guys, we were able to donate $5,918 to the Street Vendors Association of Chicago! Fuck yeah and fuck ICE!

This NC State-Tennessee game is FUN.

Perfect portrait, no notes. The only sitting vice president to shoot a guy except for Aaron Burr. Wait, he wasn’t even 60 in 2000?!? He seemed like he was a million.

For me the centralizing question of the faith in this moment is ... "When did we see you?" hungry (SNAP) thirsty (our environment is suffering) a stranger (we have abandoned our neighbors) naked (we have exploited the resources to the wealthy) sick (no healthcare) in prison AND ... not help you?

that's an entry-level reporter a week

just chicago things: a friend’s school district is debating switching to kazoos for the teachers for gym class instead of whistles so that people don’t panic or get confused.
