Sure, dude, just put your coffee down and make a dramatic exit off this Redline after spitting several times into the coke can. Good day to you too. @ctafails.bsky.social

On the elevator. Six guys from the new-to-the-building company join me on my way out. One guy: talks shit about a coworker The same guy, to me: (enthusiastic) Hi! We’re just talking shit about some of our coworkers. Me: Continue! This Mark guy sounds like an idiot! Three other guys: gasp

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

"It’s disgusting and, frankly, counterproductive to point out that I voted for this. To imply that I had personal free will and agency when I walked into a voting booth and picked Mayor Bomberman is insulting."

Oh good. A shouting match between a “YOU NEED JESUS” guy and a man with a guitar singing “BEING CHRISTIAN DOESNT MAKE YOU BETTER YOU DONT NEED JESUS” at State & Lake Redline. Just what my day/week was missing 🙃

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Running only 50% of scheduled trains on one of the most used lines is a massive disservice.

It was never the responsibility for nonwhite people to confront and educate WW, and if folks think/thought otherwise please examine why you believe POC should do our — I’m speaking as a WW — labor… The responsibility solely lies with white people, especially other WW. Get to work.

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

Ah, so we’re back to this unhelpful bullshit. Trains scheduled to leave every four minutes, but obviously aren’t because this stop is more than four minutes from Howard. Thanks for nothing, @chicagocta.bsky.social

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

A 20-minute gap at rush hour, @chicagocta.bsky.social ?! It’s getting crowded waiting for the five-minute train. This is bananas.

Just terrifying that this totally inexperienced and capricious opportunist, in thrall to a mash up of extremist ideologies, the most coherent of which is savage misogyny, is about to be one skipped beat of an obese elderly man’s heart away from the presidency.

I've become slightly obsessed with anachronyms; words that are used in an anachronistic way, by referring to something that was appropriate in a former time. E.g. to clock in, to film something, to hang up the phone, to dial a number. I've collected a list.
