My favorite neighborhood sunflower. This picture was taken in the morning because in the afternoon, the flower faces away from the sidewalk.
If it’s dogs, politics, grammar, food or football, I probably have an opinion She/her. You might know me from the b.org. Buffista

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at sheryl@weikallaw.com if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Fuck y’all and your farms.
Tasty fails are the best fails!
Lawrence’s face, holy f.
That’s about how long it would last before I tripped, spilled something, or otherwise messed it all up.
Timely, as I have a grand jury summons next week in Chicago.
No question in my mind.
That dude’s 40. He just dresses 17.
Of course we know this. At least for the moment, it’s out of our hands.
Boy, that sure is a shame. Wonder what happened?
It doesn’t just prioritize freight - the track network is generally owned by the freight carriers. This is a huge challenge in expanding and improving interregional passenger rail.
Years ago I just barely intercepted some Dutch friends who had 4 days before they flew home (from O’Hare) and were planning to rent a Suburban and drive from Milwaukee to California for a few days. They had already rented the car.
Let's give a shout out to the men & women who labor in the fields to put food on our tables. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay. Mandemosle un saludo a los hombres y mujeres que trabajan en el campo para poner comida en nuestras mesas. Thank you Ignacio Gomez for letting us use this art
Is that even legal??!?
Yes. (And for those who may not know the reference, the “Groppi” they want dead is Father Groppi, the priest in the first picture. /is old
Awesome, just bought some.
Indict.
“First of all, you were not supposed to see that…”
Holding on with glue.
I don’t put it past him to somehow let his raging ego and impulsiveness get in the way of all that. The fuck does he care? But they’d be trying for sure.
Shirley Manson in the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

There were a lot of lean years before that though
I just wish I could read that.
The Line 5 is a threat to the Great Lakes. Sign the petition, submit a comment to EGLE and spread the word 🌊🌊 Say NO to the sacrifice of public land for private gain. www.oilandwaterdontmix.org/submit_egle_...
I'm so disgusted, angry, furious. This is wrong.
Just an asshole then.
Holy crap, this is amazing!
The poors don’t have fun! Everybody knows that!
That was me. Having both the conviction and the money at the same time kept me from doing anything for the longest time. I’ve gotten three in the past two years. Two I loove, one I won’t say I love but it was meaningful to get and I’m not sorry. Planning away for what’s next. Go for it!
Illinois tells Bondi that its sanctuary status stands firm.
Oh hell, no

you rarely encounter a perfect intro..........but when you do
"In terms of its underlying causes, the current homelessness crisis is very nearly the opposite of the 20th century urban crime wave. It is a product of affluence, inequality, and political sclerosis." publiccomment.blog/p/notes-on-a...
My sister moved to get away from hers.
Hard same. Might be due for a 47th rewatch.
And if people voted to cut the water off to your hose in the last election?
Well, I guess that tracks. JFC.
Yeah, it doesn’t seem like there’s much doubt that the health food store was in violation.
It’s only “common sense” because very few people actually know what the F happened in that case or why the jury found the way they did.
Florida has banned its sale for human consumption. And it says so on the label. Yes, a rare occasion where the state of Florida is actually not to blame.
None of my Canadian relations will set foot here for the foreseeable future.
We had a number of summer interns this year and all of them were extremely wary of using AI. And most had been wrongly accused of it at some point in the past.
Nothin’ like Montreal bagels. Hot damn.
Arrived yesterday! Looking forward to digging in!
Death to Carville-era triangulation. We have to articulate our full-throated support for a liberal, diverse, pluralistic democracy, or we will not have a democracy.
Ummm. Ok Kenosha, we see you.
For the record, I have no gotdamn idea what this is about or why it’s in my neighborhood (Logan Square, Chicago). But I’m betting there’s a story.
A novel monoclonal antibody targets deadly sepsis by preventing 'cytokine storms.' Scientists at the Univ of Virginia the Univ of Michigan have developed a monoclonal antibody to stop sepsis, a deadly full-body infection. The antibody also has potential to treat autoimmune disorders👇
How? Please tell me how.
Post a pic from your device without context
The amount of work they’re doing to make this bit of nothing sound like an actual serious incident. JFC.
FIFA is asking for volunteers for the 2026 World Cup. VOLUNTEERS! FIFA is a $6 billion USDollar company. It can and should pay wages for the labour to put on its biggest revenue-generating event. People of Vancouver, don’t fall for this nonsense.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think we’ve fully reckoned w/how much the Trump agenda is rooted in racial grievance. Every day, we’re seeing the full force of white identity politics in action. Wild how much of it is just taken for granted, at least from where I sit. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/a...
I'll say it a thousand times -- any account of the past that only celebrates the good parts of a nation without reckoning with the bad is not what we call "history" It is propaganda, pure and simple.
That’s just science.
Well, Cuomo asked for a fight. He got it.
BRB, gettin' some scratch-offs.
True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...
Interesting. My grandmother made cornmeal mush, which was similar preparation and serving, but was largely the course corn meal and a little bit of pork without the liver, etc. Fried up and with a little bit of syrup was delicious.
I learned recently that if it gives you that little image on the picture that looks like a couple of lines of text, you can press on that and it will transcribe (reasonably well - it’s OCR) and you can copy and paste. Anyway, I’m sorry for being snippy instead of more a helpful response.
I have it set to require it, which really helps me maintain the discipline. The text in this case was just so throw away that it got under my skin more than no all text at all would have.
I read a long article about the Sarah Lawrence one, maybe in the Atlantic or New Yorker a few years ago. Creeepy. Not sure I will venture into the doc.
Right, it was the original post I was calling out. I do appreciate people in the comments adding it like Katiesaurus.
Huh. All I see is this. Happy to be wrong in this case. I’m trying to do better myself and generally wouldn’t say anything but this one just seemed egregious based on how it appeared on my phone. My apologies to OP if it’s user error, which I certainly never like to rule out :-)
In Canada visiting family last week and got this a lot. I am not, yet, materially affected much. Work goes on life goes on. The mental, emotional, community toll is constant and escalating & the channels for action limited. Slow motion devastation on so many levels. But so much worse for others.
That’s your alt text? Why bother?
There actually is an episode somewhere in the run where’s he’s having to work with structural engineers and shit in order to, you know, not die and take a swagger of other houses down with him.
Not my neighbor coming over on a steamy 90+ August afternoon to build me a new fence. Same guy dropped by on a 3 degree morning last winter to fix my dock. At least this time I was able to give him a ginger lemonade - the most I’ve ever gotten him to accept for anything he sees as neighborly.
Researchers found that pediatric ER visits for asthma decreased by 40 percent almost immediately after a local coal processing plant closed down in 2015. Our current administration is trying to bring back and increase coal burning power plants, and working to eliminate clean air protections.
I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.
I swear to God every time I go into that CVS to pick up a prescription they think of a new vaccine to poke me with. 🤷♀️ Anyway, in Your Face Hep B and RSV!

Went down with Fyre Fest.
No biggie, just mowing the lawn with the lawnmower my grandfather bought in 1968.
Yeah, that’s an alien. You can’t fool me.
Alternatively, you could just piss off.
Blow dryer. Relieves the itch without surface contact.
Most cities are safer than ever. I’m uncomfortable in rural areas with wingnut sheriffs and a million untrained yahoos walking around with guns but there are no media outlets talking about how scary those places are for partisan reasons.
You = Moreno in case that wasn’t clear!
Speaking for Chicago, that is great news. But you’re still an idiot.
And directly connected to why they fucked themselves over with Brexit.
Next time these people talk about government regulations stifling industry and costing jobs, invite them to choke on a bag of dolphin dicks. Republicans just collapsed a multi-hundred-billion dollar industry because it competes with some of their donors.
She is a remarkable woman. She could have been - should have been - a remarkable President. And this is a remarkable interview, particularly the last five minutes. It's well worth half an hour of your time.
Well, they should stand on those principles then.
We stood up a world class disaster relief agency. They voted to dismantle it.
I’ve bought several.
yes, it absolutely sucks that there are still 17 Dems who voted against it, but 27 voting for it is by a large margin the most support we’ve ever had for restricting arms sales to Israel this is real movement in the Dem caucus, the tide is finally starting to turn and I don’t think it will stop
30 I think.
Yes, exactly. It's the generative part where it falls down. But it can take some real drudgery out of the process as long as you are clear about what you are taking from it.
We’re testing AI functions in my team (don’t @ me, not my call) and this is just right. You can speed up some background tasks in areas you know the material well and verify everything it does. It can recommend ways to make the work stronger. It can’t make those changes or assess their relevance.
I see some idiots are trashing @roycoopernc.bsky.social because he said he (gasp!) prayed before deciding to run for U.S. Senate in North Carolina. My response to this is to chip in a few bucks to him. Join me (and help Jon Ossoff, Dan Osborn & others as well)! secure.actblue.com/donate/senat...
Yes how awful. Either way really.
