I'm gonna be so pissed if this isn't a statue of me.

January Chicago CriticalMass bike ride tonight. Come out & ride. 6PM Daley plaza

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

It should be understood that it is now a normal and acceptable business practice to dump billions of dollars into wasteful bullshit with zero demand that everyone knows is not going to work in order to starve the state of money and resources that it could otherwise use for social programs

Fwiw, my solution to the cold desk problem has been an electric blanket plus another separate electric foot warmer. I'm in an open area too big for a space heater. Also, this uses like 1/10th the electricity.

"U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett in Manhattan said she dismissed the murder and weapons charges because they were legally incompatible with the two counts of stalking Mangione faces." What's this mean? It seems like you could stalk a person and murder them too.

When Chicagoans say we don't want anything to do with this guy, this is what we mean.

Soren helped & encouraged many Chicago journalists (including me & @wttw.bsky.social) to join BlueSky — let’s help Pullman Arts recover from this and return the favor

Our community-run art gallery flooded. Building management will get the space back into habitable condition, but we lost a bunch of stuff and we're closed for who knows how long. We're a tiny volunteer org that spends like $20K a year, so a $3,000 emergency is a big problem. Please help us out:

Folks, we are drinking Gulden Draak. My autocorrect wants this to be Golden Drank, which is frankly way better.

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

While we are on the subject of opossums, my dogs once attacked and killed an opossum in my Chicago back yard. I went to grab a shovel and when I returned, I found it had ascended corporeally into heaven like the Blessed Virgin.

It’s cold. Like, really cold. Still biked. #MSPCycleCast

I always take the time to put in the current date and imagine there's little gnomes in the CPU who are like, "Holy shit, really? Still!?"

You can think both that normal policing in this country is totally cooked and also think that what ICE/CPB are doing is on a totally different level.

Chicago people, looking for guidance: I have a couple very old newspaper pages from early 1900s I would like to preserve & get framed. Anyone know of a place in Chicago that can do that?
