Yesterday in Chicago it was a breezy 70°F Today even Scabby, the union-protest-rat, was forced to wear a shirt just to survive in the freezing South Side St. Patrick's Day Parade.

Studies show that throwing a Hostess Pie at a villainous punk rocker is 31.4% more effective than an actual punch. Happy Pi Day!

If you ever lose an hour of sleep during Daylight Saving Time, don't worry. It probably went somewhere nice, like that farm your parents sent your childhood dog to.

This is where we are, America.

Now that the Trump administration is gutting the Dept. of Education, kids can finally learn how government really works—through Infowars videos and AI-generated curriculum designed by libertarian think tanks that instruct them that taxes are theft, but corporate subsidies are just good business.

The last 12 months have been so chaotic that even math teachers can’t find any logic in it.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

At first I was excited to read Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong, but then I found out this comic is not canon to the Monsterverse or the primary DC continuity...just like my last three relationships and, apparently, the expiration date on the yogurt I ate this morning.

"I think I am, actually humble. I think I'm much more humble than you would understand.” - Donald Trump, 60 Minutes, July 17, 2016

CA Assembly Bill 666, introduced on Feb. 14, 2025, would designate Bigfoot as the state’s official cryptid. I guess that means he'll eventually be eligible for a state pension. www.sfgate.com/northcoast/a...

The most NPR of NPR headlines.

President Donald Trump has nominated the Giant Floating Pile of Trash to serve as the next commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, the White House announced Tuesday. If confirmed, the Giant Floating Pile of Trash would be the first floating pile of garbage ever to lead a branch of the U.S. military.

I think we all know how this one ends—with Sherlock running out of clues and Godzilla stepping on him.

Love the juxtaposition of Motley Fool’s 50% Presidents’ Day sale and the prediction for the same drop in Tesla’s worth. (Oh, and it’s Presidents’ Day, not President’s Day.)

Happy Presidents’ Day... or should I say, "Happy Take-Your-Billionaire-to-Work Day"—since apparently they’re running the place now.

Hulk versus Godzilla? The real loser is urban infrastructure—hopefully, FEMA will survive the Trump administration's proposed dismantling to help clean up the mess

Godzilla’s atomic breath is no match for Spider-Man’s ability to quip relentlessly for 22 pages

Godzilla versus Chicago? I give the edge to a Lake Michigan wind gust in February.

If Jobs told Gates to take acid, it's probable he gave the same advice to Elon Musk (that would at least give some excuse for the Cybertruck and explain Musk's behavior for the last 15 years)

The scientists are deeply puzzled! They're running around with their hair on fire, (which is probably contributing to the warmth) If only there was some scientific explanation! bsky.app/profile/bbct...

Palestinians Propose Taking Ownership of Mar-a-Lago

Someone should make Elon a wager

They dismissed scholars, embraced the machine, and now find themselves ghosted by the algorithm. Poetic, really.

"Reduce, reuse, re-Santa"

Due to inflation and impending tariffs, the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything has been increased to 84.

#BREAKING: US oil-rich province of Texas (bordering Mexico) is set for a crony capitalist boom, exploiting corrupt courts and deepening elite capture—a trend backed by the gun-strewn, sub-Canadian republic’s strongman Papa Don Trump and his South African backer, Elon Musk. bsky.app/profile/davi...

Step One: Decide far too early who to blame for this. And it is absolutely critical to work fast before all the facts come in. You have options for which political ideology you want to validate, so choose wisely. www.duffelblog.com/p/duffel-blo...

According to CPS, ICE agents were turned away from Hamline Elementary Schools. This is the power of a union contract that fights for everyone. In 2019 we won sanctuary provisions for our schools & we will work together to protect our students and communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/01/24/i...

This is clearly a sign of the apocalypse... or, at the very least, a mild inconvenience. I've already adjusted my apocalypse preparedness spreadsheet accordingly studyfinds.org/universe-exp...
