I get paid to press buttons on the Internet. Literally and quite often figuratively. ✶ ✶ ✶ ✶, Urbs in Horto, etc.

🚨NEW LOCATION: we will protest at MICHIGAN AVE & IDA B. WELLS DRIVE **Please share widely to spread the word about this change**
How about we fast-track further construction on the Kennedy? If they’re going to use Great Lakes as staging, might as well introduce them to being a resilient local commuter with some 5+ hour closures…
From your lips to Susan Collins’ concern
I have to wonder at what point hotel clerks start leaking data…
Really a brilliant head; my reaction was “no kidding, the city has never helped the unhoused” ohhh, you mean THAT help
One CPD detective I knew is an Asian man proud of his heritage and involved in Asian police causes, and yet he’ll drop anti-Black epithets all day long on and off the job. He turned up on the list of 3%ers that faced no consequences post-1/6. Hard to be a good cop when these are your peers.
Red can only be used in us-west. If you use blue in us-east, it is subject to a per-view fee. Magenta is eligible for savings plan discounts whereas taupe is not. The three shades of teal are like the three seashells: they can’t explain it either.
Yeah, “adoption” or “these two women love one another isn’t that great” sure is harder than answering “daddy why are masked soldiers dragging that man into an unmarked truck?” ffs
I wasn’t speeding, officer, I was merely sidestepping norms.
This movie taught me to avoid plastic keys. You know, the kind that shred.
As packed trains lumber toward President Trump’s beautiful work-for-freedom facilities, a debate has emerged over whether seats should be provided in the overcrowded cars. — The AP, probably, if this behavior continues unchecked
As @gregdoucette.bsky.social would say… Cops are great.
Slightly diminish a band: Severe Straits
Look when your box of Chillable Red runs dry and it’s only 2 in the afternoon, you’d hustle for more too
Reboot Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” but with Alan Dershowitz and the whole show is just enjoying him never getting food because he’s a querulous, joyless douche and he’s constantly demanding that the Laotian street vendor or whoever denounce Hamas before he’ll try the khao jee
Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.
I appreciate and understand the reference
prayer and a countdown timer to each Friday, does that count?
I don’t have an attic but, uh, if we’re doing this now I have an extra bedroom and internet* to offer any of these refugee politicians. *Internet is Comcast so I understand if you’d rather go it alone.
Tired: here’s busload after busload of refugees we’ve sent to Chicago and suburbs in violation of law, take that city slickers! Wired: send our political pawns back so we can further disenfranchise our voters you must cooperate it’s the law! law I say!
Illinoians have a lot of experience taking care of Texans sent our way. They’ll be fine.
Be thankful your first thought was BB and pity me for mine being that of a Beringer vehicle; I am a broken soul.
“cinematic” indeed, it’s taken right from the plot of Tom Beringer’s magnum opus, “The Substitute”!
✔️ no em-dashes ✔️ text not littered with fucking emojis accurate. is meatbag.

Wrote up this post about the @msfsofficial.bsky.social project I did that streams sensor data into @influxdb.com 3 Enterprise Check it out! It was a really fun experiment. ✈️ #msfs #aviation www.influxdata.com/blog/flight-...
Same, Nesyamun. Same.
these stickers are hard to get lined up perfectly. the armbands are a lot easier to wear
In “not all news is bad” I am officially off my HOA board after serving nearly a dime. Someone else can deal with the two neighborhood smack asses from here on out.
The remix opps are also strong as hell anal waffle and the lobby tones hot moisture birth tantrum this list gives for days
If you think *having* a HOA is bad, try running one. The most unhinged and desperately unmedicated people emerge like cicadas every few months to remind you, loudly, that they are still angry that you exist. T minus 5 days until my 8 year nightmare of service ends.
Just got another update about inventory and stock for my favorite place for jeans: Dearborn Denim. If you’re looking for comfy jeans made in the US, that hold up, check em out. I like having them hemmed in store to my liking, but they do all standard sizes just the same. dearborndenim.us
Tackling the hard hitting, meaningful stories of our time, I see.
are we (clothing) or (role) this evening?
Debbie should visit jails more often. Those sink/toilet combos are standard. She’d be rightfully appalled at how this country houses its jailed, citizen or not.
I mailed one of his books I owned to his staff for an inscription, along with a Starbucks card as thanks for the staffer’s time, 6 years ago. Despite assurance I’d get the book back as of 3 years ago, it never materialized. Guess I can…close the book permanently. www.cnn.com/2025/07/11/p...
I'm Corey's colleague and I'd like to augment Linda's already stellar bona fides
It’s no wonder establishment Reps and Dems dislike and smear this guy. He’s not slinging divisive hate and bullshit. He’s authentic. Hard to write drama-filled OpEds about a nice guy people like.
Oh that’s rich, ICE is named after a drink created by a British immigrant in Peru.
I toured it a handful of years ago and thought it was way ahead of its time and super ambitious - two things we as a society do not seem to understand or manage well.
Johnny’s, Al’s in a hurry, Mr Beef like a decade ago…and pre-PE Portillos (personally I like a combo, wet, hots) The navy pier one was just left field surprisingly good!
This is going to sound laughable, but trust me on this: www.cicciobeef.com Yes yes I KNOW, it’s at Navy Pier, just pretend it isn’t. It’s one of the best beefs I’ve had.
What an unfortunate rapid unscheduled deflation
so you’re just gonna paste pictures of republican reps on top of one another? kindly proceed.
Proud to have Rep. Casten in IL. Good thread on current status of the Big Billionaire Bailout.
Makes me want to snag a speeding ticket in TX just to pay the fine with my old wedding band and a gold filling.

To be fair the Oath Keepers do have rather pretty tactical eyebrows
Look we meant to just damage it, we never intended to destroy anything. Calling the sky green is semantics and would you please stop asking about my Canadian girlfriend?
AWS is pleased to announce Virtual Default Route Systems Manager! This new tool helps customers manage their fleet’s default routes securely and intelligently with agentic AI. Starting at $0.003/hour/route.
And for the comedy skit, CPD will pull over a luxury sedan in river north driven by a white guy for running a red
That’s good, but could you and your peers read what you vote on next time so you actually know what’s proposed vs. what you’re being sold? Thanks.
This is who I have in mind when I talk to kids about stranger danger. He parks a 1992 Econoline van in the handicap spot with dirty window shades, a line of Trolls dolls along the dashboard, and a “free candy” sign in the passenger seat.
Fully endorse. He could have all these things and expand to generous coverage of winter wear, which can begin with a series on Canada Goose jackets.
You show em! Maybe follow up this social media post with a STRONGLY worded letter. If things get real bad, fire up the text messages and solicit donations. You got this, Don!
Unless Tapper has a book to pump, it’ll be a long wait.
Dick Trickle was the OG but let’s keep an eye on Maverick Cole in the Winston car, Clint Riggins on pole driving the Bud Light car, and Ryder Stetson in the Wrangler Chevrolet.
I’m holding space in my diary for when Tom admits his errors on music. I fear the blank page will outlive all of us, but I have hope.
I was asked to drive Larry Lessig to a book signing across town. I’ve never driven more carefully in my life. He was kind enough to tolerate my fanboy chattering, and likely very happy it was a short drive.
Killing time outside the former 1 Infinite Loop Apple Store when Tim Apple arrived. Nobody noticed him. I sheepishly asked to shake his hand. He did, and offered to take a selfie despite his handler obviously wanting to keep him on time. He did this for several other people who noticed. Nice guy.
TIL you can set MacOS to default to "Paste and Match Style" which by default removes the formatting on text copy-paste. It is a little bit weird to set, but this document walks you through it as you scroll past several ads: darkroomphotos.com/set-paste-ma...
Would you like me to find a lawyer to advise you on how to not roll over on command? I’m sure they’d be amenable to doing it in podcast format so you can grasp the basics. Grow a pair and act like a governor. Call mine if you need pointers: @govpritzker.illinois.gov
This is the way

Nothing more badass than imagining Dame Judi in the woods with full face paint, an FN FAL slung across her back, and a bandolier of grenades.
Reaper isn’t even dropping a quarter in the claw machine tonight. Some things are worth letting go. #BernieKerik
#Harvard has an endowment of $53,000,000,000. They will survive. Want to donate? Find a legal group representing illegally detained immigrants, a community college fighting book bans, your local library, a food bank or any organization that has less than FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS at this disposal.
soup and a straw? bet you’ve crossed your legs, too, haven’t you
Most Amazon customers say AWS employees have increasingly pushed them to use AI over the past year, raising frustration and making users less interested in engaging with them (Me/The Internet)
missing the swedish dog - pork & beef, topped with mashed potatoes and crispy fried onions
That’s because after having them rattling around in a box of cable detritus for 10 years, you threw them away three days ago.
Only a matter of time until someone mistakes masked ICE agents for civilian criminals and uses legal defense tools to connect them to the afterlife’s WiFi.
Has anyone told Gardiner if he wants to crime with impunity and have the taxpayer foot the bill, he must first graduate the academy and work his way up from patrolman?
The Pritzker family has funded at least 10 schools and research facilities, public zoos, museums, hospitals, and tons of public space improvements in Chicago alone. I guess to be a real progressive one should remit as much as possible to the government when you die. These purity tests suck.
Some of y’all noticed I’ve been uncharacteristically offline. This is why, and I remain on leave for a few weeks to handle a PTSD relapse. CJR was dogged in its pursuit of my story. Because of what I do and who I am, I felt that I had to answer their questions honestly. www.cjr.org/feature-2/we...
Harrowing article full of absolutely unacceptable, enraging abuses. I greatly admire your candor and strength.
You’re not doing it right if you’re not on a list or two ✊🏼
As a pen guy (please, I’ve heard the jokes) scattering boxes of crappy ballpoints (have you no respect?) makes me sad. There are other, less drastic ways to exact revenge you know.
Maria desperately hanging on to her belief that Hillary and Hunter planned it at the behest of George Soros.
As possibly the squarest mfer in your follows, I eagerly await new Eliminate ICE stock. Hope this coverage brings you a ton of new biz. ❤️
I was never a fan of Cinemax’s service. It’ll be interesting to see how it fares under HBO’s ownership.
What convoluted legal requirement is this goofball dance supposed to satisfy?
Trump should take immediate delivery of the gifted “sky palace” plane with the caveat that it may only depart from and return to Newark.
Given the state of everything I’d also have said yes, sure, might as well.
Now begins the forever phase of thirsty nobodies yearning to be #verified. It’s the same cohort who post about their air travel and airline status. It’s so cliquish and try-hard.
Look, the #tariffs are bad and divisive politically, but I think we can unite to implement 5000% tariffs on #glitter. This stuff is terrible. Swap Kilmar for the Easter Bunny.
Won’t need all these “money making” tariffs if churches start paying taxes, so let’s goooo, as they say.
Hate to break the news but I still have nightmares about forgetting my locker combination in middle school, and I’m 44.
Cup’s name is cup. Egg says hi. Need $6B more VC if you want to know how this story ends.
Spin that walker ‘round and make those tennis balls beg for mercy. Hard pass.
I know of at least two people who have moved to zoho without major issue (calendars are evidently not great there)
yet you and I would both pay good money to observe enten in a room with kevin ‘giggle boy’ hassett and a white board, nothing else
It’s sad that in the billionaire club, Elon has no peer willing to take him aside and let him know that people dislike him so much we’re doing it for free.
where Chicago ~= north shore also her schedule has exhausted me and I now need a nap
The atp crew talked about them at length recently - good listen w/ recs starting here overcast.fm/+AAQ2lEx756w...
the realities of american society haven’t hurt you enough? I know some people if you just need to be slapped around a bit to feel alive, lmk
Agreed; whose nephew is going to go explain what the internet is to our aged congressional leadership so we can get this going?
Oh man the things you do for them out of love. Hang in there, champion. ❤️
Those are the best pieces!
