Entering his Hochulification Era
My neighbor, an older Guatemalan lady, was my 1st friend I made here, we just moved, she invited us to āLatino Thanksgivingā her name for the night prior to Thanksgiving. Her family worked service jobs and couldnāt get the day off. She made tamales and welcomed us into her home. Thatās America to me
Yes. I was assuming they were going to do something in the loop simply for a show of force / media.
All business no play until the weekend, Iāll be going to Haarlem on Saturday. Let me know if you know any good restaurants.
Gouda, Oude Gouda, Belegen Gouda, Gouda Extra Belegen, Boerenkaas Gouda. Alle het assortiment van kaas als de kaas is Gouda.
Itās about the symbolism not the efficacy.
If MBJ was brave he would raise the bridges to keep immigration out. The anti-Lori Lightfoot George Floyd protest.
Ik bezoek de Nederland
JB please go all Meigs Field bulldozer on all highways from the north shore
Now would be a fantastic time for IDOT to declare emergency repairs on IL-137 and various other state roads in the north shore
Democrats* favorite cheese is feta because they love to crumble. *Excluding Walz, JB, and Hochul
The land of bikes and exactly one type of cheese.
Chicago dogs have fresh produce, frikandellen are full of preservatives š¤
Walking less in Europe than I do in Chicago. Feeling a bit weightier. Hmm. It must be that there are fewer preservatives in the food in Chicago.
*cracks knuckles* okay so you know how the media has a problem with taking snippets of scientific studies out of context and writing articles which mislead the public? now imagine a computer program is doing that when you ask it questions about scientific literature but also it makes stuff up.
The literal opposite of what DCās mayor has communicated. #FreeDC
There should be a Shadow Alderman for the 42nd Ward that gets exclusive say for the Lowers and Lower Lowers of the Loop. Heād need to be a rickety cricket type character
she was just practicing biblical marriage (Solomonic)
Give the Buck Mason Henley a try
Somehow Nintendoās Bowser is lesser of the evil Bowsers to exist
When are they going to pedestrianize Lower Wacker and do an event called Meet Me Under Wacker?
More like Meet Mutuals on Milwaukee
I canāt spell today.
The fact that this is acceptable national policy for decades is insane and complete undemocratic.
Itās only called war if it comes from the legislative region of Washington. otherwise itās a sparking military operation
This is a banger and needs a North Avenue Beach remix.
My only hope is everyone dislikes number 2 and he has no rizz so heāll crank
If it happens I have a feeling it will be a monkeys paw curling moment in 3 months or less.
If my family lived in a place with bikes, walkability, and transit, this would be less of a problem (on many levels).
Yes
weāre here for you @jmings.bsky.social
āYeah mom Iām not really on social media muchā
This isnāt for horny on main stuff this is for like, travel plans so I donāt get guilt tripped into seeing family when I travel.
I really need a anti-close friends feature on some social media that let me share a story with anonymous strangers but not my family
The word is actually Greek so itās Pierogodes
āMy job is to sit in the airport security line for 8 hours a day and walk with people who are extremely annoying, stressed, and disorganized (most travelers)ā
I want to see an interview with a Clear employee, it must be the most boring job in the world
I ride public transit to work every day, and while I know that there is not a zero risk of crime that way, the statistical risk of me dying by driving a car is much greater. But no one is calling for banning cars.
Itās all because of the Anti-Polish sentiment coming from the White House.
Theoretically any time saved is not work the mental cost of having to be chauffeured by a stranger like Iām going to the doctor. Sorry but 30 seconds isnāt worth that.
To be fair no one has eaten a single pierĆ³g, they are bonded pairs and must be eaten by the dozen
The common crime in Chicago is the incorrect plural use of pierogi to refer to a single pierĆ³g.
Correct and even so IIRC fbi crime reporting methods change by jurisdiction and canāt be compared between jurisdictions
OhanaAI means layoffs
Cabbage Dumplings
Thatās right I be taking shots of Malƶrt and killing Old Styles
blueskyism works on paper but will never work in real life
true blueskyism has never been tried
You canāt look at this photo and tell me this man doesnāt yearn for the Midwest
For a bunch of folks who desire style and aesthetic uniformity in architecture, NIMBYs sure canāt do the same with their own designs.
Does this 7-story building full of customers make sense on Milwaukee?
Please bring back a chubby Steve Buschimi as JD Vance
Surprised to see a sequel so quickly but nonetheless I am excited for the release of The Death of Stalin 2: White House Boogaloo
I hope they never solve the Max Headroom incident
India on the other hand is hard.
Few things say āfinger on the pulse of middle Americaā less than knowing what this website is, let alone having a negative opinion on it
Iām a words man
Frankly this weekend was so good. It was giving Margarita Tower vibes.
The horrors! It was pandemonium at the beach yesterday for AVP. For real though, #Chicago was ELECTRIC the last few days. I can't remember it being so alive
Haley literally embodies showing up for their community every day. Letās show up for them right now while they need our support.š
Calling on all Chicago bikers! A beloved member of the Chicago bike community (and a Femmes + Thems core organizer) took a spill at Critical Mass on Friday and was badly injured. Because both of their arms are broken, they are not able to do most self care tasks, let alone work.
Youth pastor voice: You know who else didnāt make a public appearance for 3 days
queer folks, along with foreign immigrants, are usually the first to move to a neighborhood, for the reasons you state, and that is why language around gentrification/immigrant integration because both are two sides of the same nativist/blood-and-soil coin.
Clothing used to be an inheritance and not because it was the best clothing to have existed, either.
Lakeshore drive is an atrocious waste of amazing space
Urbanism, pedestrianization, and active transportation is such a layup: Good for the environment Good for mental health Good for people of all status Good for businesses Good for vibes
Yeah letās get it started then and that sets the groundwork.
If parking isnāt a problem we should do it every Sundayā¦ and or meter Sundays everywhere else and expand it to Saturdays
He was an entire stock room, wow thatās an achievement
Its not like Sunday night on a 3 day weekend would be when folks would want to hang out later anyway
This tells me we need to widen DLSD to make more room for bike lanes.
See Chicago is a breach town:
A Gatorlada (michelada gatorade) would destroy me
This looks like itās good for businessā¦
a fast walker has never mad me late for my train, just saying
Were you the gal I saw projectile vomit at Butler field at 9:30?
folks this was a jokeā¦
Today at the Bike the Drive in Chicago.
my wish for bike the drive each year is that this is my last bike the drive
The lakefront trail is so quiet
you canāt park there
how it sounds like at bike the drive
CPD Chicago Posting Department
Are the cafe told empanadas new? Good addition.
After which they will still drive, but we will wave our finger and say tsk tsk
Out of fairness, cars will be allowed to drive on the lakefront trail until 11:30am today
who would be the funniest journalist to break the news
So true. It could be such a nice street too.
Rainbow Crosswalks are Actually Car Infrastructure | NYT Opinion by Charles Marohn
RT if you hate query strings and UTM codes
Yeah good point, Iāll take it up with my guy. Considering the era that would make sense.
Date based on the Amalgamated Garment Workers of America label and the Hart Schafer & Marx label
Out of the Closet can be hit or miss but when it hits it hits. $1 for this late 1950/early 1960s, union made sports coat from Chicagoās own Hart Schaffner & Marx
We have a national police state problem because we have a local police state problem.
More like an executive suggestion
Not sure, I only noticed it because it was screeching warnings that the parking lot is closed
Roscoe and halsted.
