Need to see this guy on next season of love is blind.

Post a meme made by you

The translated version of this ludicrous comment by Tuberville "I think your viewers are stupid and gullible and will believe anything I say no matter what. And I know that none of the people who interview me will ever hold me accountable. What a great job I have." He's gross.

I had the pleasure to present at Wild Things 2025 with colleagues from Environment Illinois and The Nature Conservancy! A great turnout to hear about Illinois Wetlands protection...and of course Mitch Williams got a shout-out.

The best moment I’ve ever heard in an interview was when goofy Terry Gross tried to get David Johansen to label his music (“Do you call it glam? Proto-punk?”) and with disdain and Staten Island dripping from every syllable the lead Doll said, devastatingly: “It was art, Terry.”

The Trump admin's funding freeze has real-world consequences. Many schools were promised federal aid for electric school buses so that students could commute in cleaner, healthier vehicles—but now they're in a state of limbo. @nytimes.com

This is truly not the most important thing about this post, I acknowledge that...but I have to stay on brand. Take off your backpack on public transit. Hold it in front of you.

So much of my own assessments that began in 2013 and now to 2025 is this “Raunering” of the GOP where not only withhold monies but cheering and a want for “pain” so no one notices that it’s bad governing and an uber-rich want to dismantle, be it governments, pensions, schools… good stuff Rich

Today on World Wetlands Day, why pretend to celebrate? IL has already destroyed 90% of our historic wetlands. We’re planting corn for ethanol in floodplains that should be wetlands, and when they flood as floodplains do, taxpayers bail out this corrupt, dysfunctional system.

If you care about children, you support their access to life-saving health care; you affirm and celebrate them as their whole selves; you strive to build a society of freedom, autonomy, care, and liberation in which they can live and grow. Protect trans kids, today and every day.

Chicago Fire fans, sure La Bamba is the easy option here, but might i humbly submit to @section8chicago.bsky.social and @chicagofirefc.bsky.social to the tune of Bidi Bidi Bom Bom Jonny Jonny Bamba. We can work out the rest of the lyrics at a later date. #cf97 #cffc

I think most Chicagoans could accept some delay on snowy days like today. Today the board claimed brown line trains arrive every 4 mins. Ventra app said next train was 6 mins away. Waited 10+ mins. CTA, please, just give consistent information!

You’ll be visited by three spirits.

A constant with the 1988 Topps podcast is learning our heroes are human. If anyone could outrun death, it was Rickey Henderson. Yet here we are, mourning the greatest base thief and one of baseball’s biggest personalities. Rickey Henderson was one of a kind.

This is not surprising. Hot Mulligan rules. Also not surprising that 3 of my top 5 songs were Chappell Roan. When a toddler requests HOT TO GO as “e e e e O T O” you oblige.

You all MOCKED George Lucas and said this was boring or dumb but who’s laughing now???

Obligatory Wally’s post.

Congrats to NL Rookie of the Year, Paul Skenes! This is also perhaps my favorite overlay of the year.

If you see this, post a concert pic! Went to see The Forecast on Friday night. A fun night with Peoria's finest.
