Willing to bet a very large amount that most of that 413% rise in “assaults” on ICE agents represent unarmed people attacking ICE fists with their faces and boots with their kidneys. Because these people are lying scum.

You know who turned things around after our Trump-lite "run government like a business" governor destroyed our credit rating in Illinois, right? Right?

Pulling up the EFL playoff replay on Paramount+ and have a hunch on what happened (although not the result) just from some of the program info.

The weekend project was doing a real version of the Chicago-Style Pope. I hope we're all still excited about the pope. 🖼️ www.inprnt.com/gallery/phin... 👕 octophant.threadless.com/designs/da-p...

“And so the Greeks send me this horse, we’re talking about one of the most beautiful horses you’ve ever seen. So big. So strong. Normally they keep this kind of horse for themselves but they were such big fans they said sir, please take our big wonderful horse we’ll even bring it to your house”

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Next year I'm going to get on the gambling apps specifically to bet against what I need to happen to win my matchup in Fantasy Premier League. Like neither Saka nor Salah getting a goal or an assist in the second half.

We'll see if adding new follows en masse via starter packs fixes this weird Discovery Feed fixation with jam bands.

By the by: Chicago Pope Frenzy is what social media is supposed to be and once was. React to current events, have some fun, be good-hearted, delve into facts, make jokes. Quick, nimble, back-n-forth, admit error & move on for more fun, etc. I feel blessed. @dansinker.com @robertloerzel.bsky.social

Lots of people say they want a purely chronological feed, but then how do you deal with posters who retweet dozens of replies to their own posts? Or super-prolific posters in general? I haven't found lists to be quite as useful here. And my Discover feed has been overrun (?) by jam band posts.

Just saw a local news piece on a Wrigleyville country bar touting a "modern update on a Long Island Iced Tea" for a Beyoncé-themed event when she comes to Chicago, and that seems to understand and misunderstand the patrons of a Wrigleyville country bar all at once.

Okay, so the Stax Records documentary on HBO/MAX right now is great. A bit of an emotional rollercoaster, and episode 2 is a gut punch, but lots of stuff I didn't know about some wonderful music and the people who made it happen.

Very cool to see other countries peacefully and swiftly rejecting Trumpism and asking sane people to run shit. Maybe we should think about, you know, doing that here

See, this is why two d-mids when you're playing four in the back is problematic. First off, Lukiç and Berge are always going to be starting from a deeper position and second, they don't have the quickness and creativity you need in the final third. Their instinct is to protect first. #FulhamFC

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.
