Salted caramel pork belly burnt ends. Yes please! Meat candy!🤤 Beast Craft BBQ is amazing!

Come see my band, Failed Models, play in Chicago next week! @do312.bsky.social do312.com/events/2026/...

The halftime show was great. Really puts all the propaganda in the ad spots into balance.

ICE terrorizes immigrant communities > immigrants can't work > labor is impacted > farms and factories "lease" (enslave) prisoners for workers > ICE trying to build large prison camps > plan to imprison thousands... Are they planning to enslave people? We should ban prisoner forced labor.

Where is the "Nazi punks fuck off!" button? No thank you for the recommendation, Zuck!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Apparently ICE tried to raid THE ECUADORIAN CONSULATE?!?! These boneheads don't know that consulates are inviolable - meaning the host country authorities have no right to enter uninvited - per the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations of 1963.

I haven't been able to wrap my head around following substacks yet. I can go on and read when I get a link, but I don't follow it... I like it in concept but reminds me of LiveJournal or other early blog platforms that were useful for some but seemed like a limited audience.

Rubio only ordered the use of Time New Roman because Calibri is more compact making it harder to meet a page requirement for a report. #sanssarif

I think Christmas classic tunes are best treated with the natural ambient reverb of the great hall at Union Station. The delayed Metra train that has me now waiting hours for the next Amtrak is no fun though. 🎄🚆

I made a perfect northbound L train double transfer. Purple to Red at Fullerton, and caught the Brown line train in front of the purple at Belmont. 🚝☘️😎 The CTA is with me today!

THE TAXPAYER FUNDED WHITEHOUSE.GOV SITE IS NO PLACE FOR RACIST, PARTISAN SATIRE BULLSHIT. www.whitehouse.gov/mysafespace/... Also the Dems didn't shut down the government, the GOP - who has the majority - did.

Dear President Trump: Please pay for your own travel & security if your activities are not for state business. This includes GOP party business, rallies, parties, suppressing the Epstein files, and all legal proceedings against you and your business ventures. STOP WASTING OUR TAX DOLLARS!

Last year I bought a magnetic pop socket for like $10. Just lost it and checked... they're like THIRTY BUCKS now!!! Thanks Trump! Those tariffs are really sticking it to our enemies. 🙄

NOW HE IS LITERALLY DEMOLISHING THE WHITE HOUSE?

The Wells St bridge is raised apparently... Packed train is at a standstill. #NoKings

I love the small contingent of old ladies and children and families outside my CTA station, cheering on protestors headed downtown. #nokings #HandsoffChicago

Headed back from a week's vacation... Anything happening in Chicago?

Did Pam Bondi really ask Adam Schiff if he went to law school in a congressional oversight committee hearing? **Checks notes** ... Yes, Pam. He graduated Harvard Law School cum laude in 1985.

I'm on vacation and going to be trying to avoid the news. Especially politics. Self care is important .

These guys are claiming Kirk as a nazi. I'm curious, from the right's perspective, is this unacceptable criticism, of the type that's getting liberals fired from their jobs, or is this honoring his legacy?

What if Jessie's Girl grew up to be Stacy's Mom? 🤔

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Fixed it. But poop jokes aside, the DoD should have nothing to do with deportations or attacking any American soil. This attack on Chicago is unlawful and, I think, treason.

Oasis is expensive. Come to Cobra Lounge and see Failed Models instead.

A reminder to Carrie Sheffield and all other right-wing pundits appearing on TV... STFU about Chicago... (image from @harebrained.bsky.social)

Tonight in Chicago! Come see me play keytar with Failed Models at Cobra Lounge (Fulton & Ashland) with 2 other phenomenal bands! Rock show!

The safety of the people of Illinois is always my top priority. There is no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois National Guard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty military within our own borders.

I can't stop thinking about this stat. We could probably add free, robust, and accessible mental healthcare and it would still not match the cost. We can do better.

Every single resident of DC should call the FBI and ask them to release the Epstein files.

Last month something I ordered was shipped from Alabama to Chicago vis Phoenix. This month, Florida to Chicago via San Francisco. WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU ON, USPS?

Stand outs from watching Lolla on Hulu from my couch: - Gracie Abrams - Cage the Elephant - Olivia Rodrigo - Doechii - Rufus Du Sol - The Marías

I don't get K-pop I guess. Caught some of Boynextdoor and Twice at Lolla on Hulu and they just seem over-scripted, with corporate-produced tunes, and less enthusiastic than a troop on a weekday side-stage at a theme park. Fans praising them up on socials just seems oddly forced too.

WHAT THE HELL??? While I had heard about the awful waste of tax dollars trump is demanding for this stupid ballroom, but this rendering makes it look like a shitty Florida McMansion. Where are the historic preservationist architecture people on this travesty???? 🤮

Time is weird. Weezer coming out for a collab with Olivia Rodrigo at Lolla 2025 would be like as if Alanis Morissette brought out The Beach Boys on stage in 1995. 🤯💀⚰️

Not sorry. Sheiky-baby 4 life.

How to end a call in the Midwest: "Ok, that all sounds good, goodbye." "Great! Bye." "You have a good one." "You too! Have a great rest of your week." "Yeah you too. And you have a good weekend!" "Oh I will, thanks!" "Thank you! Bye, then." "Take care." "Talk to you later." "Bye" "Bye..."

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

The gate compressor or whatever is swelling the bat-crack sound in the Home Run Derby is obnoxious as hell, boosting all the stadium noise with every swing.

She begged to be deported to Guatemala so she could get prenatal care. ICE refused. Two guards watched her as she miscarried. They did not unshackle her legs. Is this what voted for “pro-life” Christians? nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

Order shipped from Alabama, USPS to Chicago. Transferred to the local distribution hub. Then transferred to Indianapolis. Latest update: "Your item arrived at our USPS facility in PHOENIX AZ DISTRIBUTION CENTER on June 29, 2025 at 9:05 pm. The item is currently in transit to the destination." ??????

BREAKING: Senator Warnock calls Big Beautiful Bill “Socialism for the Rich”. 100% true!

Chicagoland! Come out to the Main Street Fair in Evanston, IL this Saturday for some avant garde jazz rock!

Congress? You awake?

Beautiful day to exercise our rights and defend democracy!

Chicago showed up. ✊🇺🇸

No Kings - No Tyrants 🇺🇸
