I am so floored by today and have so little to actually say. Remind people you love them and don't want to be in a world without them. Take care of your mental health and help people with their mental health too. Please remember there is 988 and suicide hotlines. R.I.P. Jessie Arcand Martinez.

Just as soon as I get back from Naperville I'm joining a third. I'm drunk with power.

I'm not going to pretend I love skrewball, but when I used it to make a pad Thai/se Asian weirdo daiquiri and it worked, I had to admit it felt like there was a niche for it. It's a dying brand in Chicago and the Chicago burbs though I hear.

My skrewball hot take is that they are not a result of the infantilizing of American drinkers, but their success is because they were the only fun people at like. any whiskey festival for five years

This has to be the biggest fucking lie yet though.

I am also easily courted by arepas. You hear that internet people in my phone? Are you taking notes?

13 non-signees. 13 people who probably need to be investigated for leaking constituent info.

Bridging my current life in Chicago and my past life in D.C., I argue today at @newrepublic.com that Democrats should ~never~ vote to fund this government. Make John Thune blow up Senate rules and Republicans wholly own the U.S. extra-military military doing war crimes against us, funded by us.

The Case for the Forever Shutdown

Senate Democrats actually allowing the GOP to stop funding the government is only the first step. Now they have to make the case that Trump’s government is illegitimate.

This is really good. I'm a huge bitch about the same and I don't have that degree because I couldn't have 3 degrees in undergrad without paying more.

It's that I knew him well enough that I don't think he wanted a street, and the last Steve we all got to know didn't want some corporation being the thing that reminded us of it.

Ewww, no. (I don't follow baseball, the Yankees celebrated Kirk immediately and suck dirty balls, this was a bit mostly)

But I refuse to have another AL team until the White Sox are sold to someone else.

Some of us were born in Brooklyn and needed to keep an AL team around for occasions...

Love it and hate it that google just called it Steve Albini Way when I turned onto Belmont earlier and had directions on.

Chicago welcomes newcomers like no other city on earth, all you have to do is 1) tell us how much you love our food and 2) hate fascists

Get him a torta as big as your head in Rogers Park, he's done for.

Ive seen two people I'd safely assumed were sane leftists advocate for the military stepping in to stop the US descent into fascism. Have we fucking learned nothing, people?!?

Seth, The Boozy Beggar @boozybeggarchi.bsky.social · 1d

I see we're at the shitty liberal cop suggests we commit martyrdom for the cause part of fighting fascism. Cool.

Chat is it good that our president with significant dementia indicators is getting fed false propaganda by his caretakers and the wider news media (looking at you, cnn)

If I weren't caught in the middle as a Jewish anti-zionist and socialist of some stripe, I'd be laughing at how Trump funding Israel during a govt shutdown must feel to his Nazi supporters.

It's really sad that @support.bsky.team and @safety.bsky.app think now in the middle of a fascist crisis in America is a good time to flex and act like a bunch of 12 year old children with emotional management issues. Twitter became important because of organizing there. Just a reminder of that.

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay
