Historians will describe this period as the Jimmy Jake Pizza War. blockclubchicago.org/2026/10/16/m...

Nathan Fielder is a masterful filmmaker and brilliant tactician. From the start of You Can See Everything, you question her judgement for participating in the project, because Ivy Holmes comes across as a real piece of shit.

I listed a voiceover job, and was surprised to get back an audition from a character on podcast my kids listen to.

Just told my kid “you want it to be one way, but it’s the other way.” Subscribe for more Marlo Stanfield parenting tips.

Hell yes little free library

I’m excited to have some of my short and tall videos showing at The Music Box tomorrow! videoconsortium.org/events/tallf...

OGraf in DaVinci Resolve 21 is a game changer for me. I can build the title templates I have in my mind with the HTML and CSS skills I already have. And they’re responsive when changing aspect ratios, unlike half of the Fusion template I use.

Lots of ambulance and fire truck activity on Damen just north of Irving Park

Divvy scooter beeps at you when you ride on the sidewalk but no consequence for a Lyft driver driving on the shoulder of the expressway

if we elect a president that went to Paideia I will really leave the country

They’re learning.

Happy Bearspring to those who celebrate!

If you're not making a film about your dad can you really call yourself a documentary filmmaker?

I want to thank the school drama teacher for telling the audience before the play began that it would be less than an hour in length. Giving us parents the info we need.

When I got back from a short spring break trip my phone started switching to “work” focus mode every time I came home, which I guess is accurate insofar as I work from home. But it feels like an attack.

As president I will direct $40 billion in funding to genetically modify spiders to instinctively step onto the cardboard when I slide it under the cup.

Champaign for my real friends, Urbana for my sham friends.

AI performs the mundane tasks of work so I have more time to fold laundry, which is my true passion.

Jesus did take the wheel, and He will deliver (before 5PM today)

Did anyone else see a Tesla Robotaxi in Lincoln Square today? 👎👎👎

As a service member, I’m disgusted and heartbroken by the attacks on Venezuela. War for oil. Distraction from the Epstein files. Innocent people continue to pay the price under this regime.

Is the Venezuela war just about oil? After all these wars for oil, wouldn’t it be easier to switch to a green economy?

As a software engineer my job mostly consists of repeatedly pressing “allow” in VS Code and letting Copilot do its thing.

When I ride my bike around the city I love to watch the skyline. It’s something that I’ve wanted to film for a long time. But it’s always been pretty shaky when I’ve tried So today I’m going to try mount this vibration isolator from Proaim onto the front rack of my bike to try to smooth things out.

Happy vertical video day to those who celebrate!

Nothing makes my teeth hurt more than going to the dentist. What if every time you went to your primary care doctor you left in more pain than you were in before?

I’ve conditioned my children to blow a raspberry and put their thumb down whenever they see a cybertruck

I ran into a guy at the playground that I know from a documentary project I was working on a year ago. He said “oh you’re the filmmaker.” I don’t often feel like that describes me, but it’s nice that people put in the world think of me that way.

I, a grown man, got a bloody nose at an indoor trampoline park today.

Why does my toddler always wake up screaming and why don’t I?

Am I the only one who just learned today what a borg is?

The Von Trapp family hiding from the Nazis in the abbey and then undertaking a treacherous journey over the mountains to another country is so on the nose.

Sitting here talking to my five year old about Nazis and like why are we doing this all over again?

Trying to decide between these two audio tracks on PremiumBeat: "Save Democracy" or "Empire Rising"

I get it. You’re a jackhammer operator. Every day you’re tearing up broken ass pieces of concrete, sidewalks no one cares about. It gets you down. Then one day you come across this beautiful piece of asphalt. No cracks. Perfectly crowned. And you get to just go at it. The work is its own reward.
