Hey folks!
For the past few years Jim and Dave opened their home and hearts to two foster kids and were in the process of adopting them. Now they’re in a legal fight to try and keep their daughters.
The costs are mounting, and if you can help and want to…

Rare example of a political cartoon where the good guy/chad is portrayed as a fat guy in a top hat and waistcoat holding a large bag with a dollar sign on it.

Elitst douchebaggery aside, the reason not to eat much Campbell’s (or canned soup in general) is the egregious amount of sodium in most of it, not some nonsense about 3D printed meat. The RFK Jr. style brain rot is everywhere, even in people you’d hope would know better.

I’m picturing a show like Bourdain’s No Reservations but where Alan Dershowitz travels around the world to far flung places where chefs and street food vendors of all cultures will refuse to sell him pierogi.

A local park district is holding a “Brunch with the Grinch” event, which raises questions. Is the Grinch the same species as Oscar the Grouch, so he’d be all about gross food? Is he chill when not being annoyed by the Whos’ holiday noise and a fun person with whom to share mimosas and snark?

do you have any idea how much you have to piss somebody off to make them change their gauge

The cover art for positive hardcore band Good Clean Fun’s 2006 album “Crouching Tiger, Moshing Panda” features a dancing panda with straightedge ‘X’es on their paws, which is something you can also probably see in a hotel ballroom in Rosemont in a couple of weeks.

The holiday shopping season is upon us, and here’s a gift idea for the Chicago transit enthusiast in your life whose eye you’d like to make twitch.
Honestly not sure if this was hallucinated by AI or designed by someone with a largely vibesy approach to transit maps.

A poster in a Trader Joe’s bathroom in a Chicago suburb showing the CTA L system. I wonder what foamer they got the map from, as it includes non-existent but deeply wished for features like a Brown Line extension to Jeff Park and north-south lines along what looks like Western and Cicero Avenues.

The Hammer Brothers might be my favorite Mario Bros enemies, because you have to imagine at some point Bowser or someone said “So we’ve got guys who throw hammers up in the air? Yeah…we should probably have them wear helmets.”

So what I’m hearing is that a school official is going to have to go into the bathroom to investigate every time the sensors detect “changes in air quality”.
“Purchasing records from schools across the country show that districts are spending millions to install sensors in student bathrooms — once considered a privacy no-go for electronic surveillance — to alert them of changes in air quality.”
