During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

During the Sept. 30 raid one tenant protected a terrified girl and her mom. Remnants at the complex, including a detailed map of all the units, offer clues to what authorities may have known before th...

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Oh! It’s sooo nice! I may have a nice lil milk crate full of records but there are a bunch of albums I just don’t have the funds for at the moment. So I’ll hop on a streaming service and play the album from there.

Of course! Mine was a gift from my dad and while he could be cheap, it’s alright for just wanting to listen to a record every now and then. Definitely need to upgrade eventually for sure.

Very nice putting on some Pink Floyd or Black Sabbath and just jamming out to some tunes.

Actually, after reading through the site someone else shared maybe disregard what I said.

Like the one I use is ‘fine’ but it’s definitely very very basic and not high quality at all. Like it works for sure, but if you’re looking for great sound quality, it’s not really there at all.

Per CDC source: At internal leadership meeting this afternoon, it was shared that 1,257 people were RIF'd at CDC. Number may not be final. Apparently, chief of staff was unaware that RIFs were going to occur so not clear who is making decisions. (Short 🧵)

Could always find some speakers for it at a thrift store though. It’s where I grabbed 2 different pairs of them.

I use a Victrola? I’m pretty sure that’s the brand I use. Model # is ITUT-420. It’s super basic and no speakers but it has bluetooth as well, so it’s nice when I wanna listen to something from my phone.

Couldn’t tell you the price though as mine was a gift.

Cool. Awesome even.

Now they’re just lying about the fact the shooter was a conservative and saying they were part of the left. He was a MAGA supporter through and through, but that doesn’t look good for them. So time to lie some more about it.

I fucking hate this country.

The pain in my left hand is so bad that cutting it off seems like a wonderful option.

Obviously I won’t, but fuck does it hurt all the damn time. I’ve been dealing with chronic pain in my knuckles but this pulled muscle or tendon or whatever is just too much.

The canceled Assassin's Creed Civil War game was a powder keg waiting to explode

Ubisoft was reportedly working on a game set after the Civil War era, but canceled it due to politics and Assassins Creed Shadows backlash.

Also the fact this is a sign posted on the employee only bathrooms makes me lose faith in humanity. Like holy shit! The fact this needs to be said at all is nasty as hell.

Varms the spooky guy @thevarmart.bsky.social · 22h

So I hate to say it but my new job has probably the most disgusting break room I’ve ever had to deal with. Like people will just leave plates with food on them on the tables, trash all over the tables, and crumbs everywhere.

I don’t understand how people can be so fucking dirty and nasty.

Hmmm, yeah. And apparently the person who did get awarded it isn’t much better than Trump. And even thanked the cheeto during the acceptance speech or whatever. And may be a supporter of a certain country committing genocide.

Shit is beyond fucked and I want off this rock.
