Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand.

- raw oysters
- any Tom Cruise movie (in recent years I just don't watch his shit)
- After the Gold Rush by Neil Young

While this is going on here, ICE has been spotted on foot + in vehicles across SW + NW sides of Chicago. Can't verify reports rn, but also presuming suburbs. Yesterday was brutal. It's not lost on us they have more agents free for weekend kidnappings now with their facility secured by state police.

Atheist proselytizers are the religious proselytizers I’m most likely to come into contact with and they’re just as annoying as all of the other ones I experience

my 20 year old coworker had a blast catching me up on some slang this morning. she was like "do your kids tell you about any of this?" and I said "absolutely not" 😂 I don't know if they're also out of the loop or if they just code switch between home & school

what a website. I love it here

a screenshot of my bluesky feed. the top post (from user djangowexler) reads "my boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? me: well, you're never going to believe this, but"

the post immediately after it (from user adamchicago) reads "The frogs have landed in Chicago!" with a picture of a person in an inflatable frog costume on a Chicago street corner (where ice was spotted just yesterday)

Also, yeah, if you sent National Guard into a sleepy Southern town to help kidnap their neighbors, I’d bet you’d get a truly violent riot.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”
