@chicagocta.bsky.social Why no alert that Brown Line trains are running 10-15 min apart @ rush hour? Had to check other stops as no trains were shown arriving @ Clark/Lake. #DoBetter

@chicagocta.bsky.social Did I miss the alert for #ghostbuses on 78 Montrose? Why a 30-min wait between buses today? I’ll now be leaving at the time I was supposed to arrive, over a half-hour late. #DoBetter

@thehighsign.bsky.social Dana, I’ve been doing a Babylon Berlin rewatch & realized - Volker Bruch was born to play Buster! So much of his work is through his eyes in the series. This must now happen. youtu.be/qVdZZWLIQSk?...

If you still think the GOP will never destroy Social Security and Medicare, Roe v Wade would like a word.

@chicagocta.bsky.social Just swiped card @ Clark/Lake - north entrance, far left turnstile. Turnstile is in REVERSE direction, blocking entry. Also no CTA personnel on site to whom I can make report.

@chicagocta.bsky.social Any reason why Brown/Orange 708 took 45 min from Rockwell to the Mart? Entire ride was a slow zone.

only appropriate political response here is to demand the white house explain how its actions aren’t responsible www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

@bitchesthecat.bsky.social Happy #sportpeppertuesday 234 to the hardest-working cat west of 10 Downing! January has been rough, but your ridiculousness is always a welcome tonic. 🍻

@chicagocta.bsky.social Why the 10+ min wait for Brown Line train this AM? Already delayed due to train sardine-packed by Addison. No immediate Loop train behind. #DoBetter @ctaalerts.bsky.social

This by Dan Savage is I think important to keep top of mind. It speaks to the point I made earlier that bad news is never the only news.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

@bitchesthecat.bsky.social Though I’m still grieving watching my Oona cross the 🌈 bridge 12 days ago, I must remind this community that it’s #sportpeppertuesday 233🍻 May he live at least as long as Oona’s 16-1/2 years💓

@chicagocta.bsky.social What’s the explanation for 45+ min wait for EB 78-Montrose? #ghostbus

It’s weird to think that Elon Musk will end up having paid far less for the United States Government than he did for Twitter

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944: “America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

My take on the Hunter Biden news is that trump has proposed creating a network of concentration camps to deal with the undocumented millions in our country

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."
