Protestor in a frog suit and an anti-Ice sign with what I believe to be a Pokémon character on a street corner in Rogers Park.

A series of images I found on my computer labeled "Wrestling solutions."

A roof shaped ring, utilizing an incline. Probably deadly.

A full sized ring inside of a double sized ring. Why not? What do you have to lose?

A ring with vertical ring ropes, attached to an unsecured light fixture. An OSHA violation for sure.

A ring with 9 turnbuckles, instead of the customary 3. This one is fine, no one would have a problem with this one except a whiner.

there's a lot to complain about these days, but learning about sick French noise bands isn't something I'd ever raise grievance over.

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

oh wow, that’s totally different than my experience. the demons who came out when I solved the puzzle box were basically all-in on pleasure. not so much the chains and mutilation

there’s a strong argument that it’s like a top 5 Robin Williams performance

@MayorMGF Reminded me it's the 20 year anniversary for Joe vs. Kobashi. To this day still once of the craziest atmospheres I've ever seen. The rare dream match that lived up to the weeks of hype I listened to while waiting for the DVD.

I can definitely feel "Remember when Walmart used to have Fish Tank?" instantly becoming an intrusive phrase in my brain.

grimm ☀️ @mugrimm.bsky.social · 12d

This is doing numbers on social media right now and it's so depressing how people truly yearn for this shit and want to preserve that feeling indefinitely like a mausoleum of false memories.

RIP Kaleb Horton

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.
