These Halloween shows at Montrose Saloon are often very good. I don't think I have three night in a row in me but I plan on being there Friday and Saturday. Saturday also has Sunset Cocktails at Gman Tavern but live music is easier to do for me when I go out solo.

Yea, while our alderperson may have not received many complaints, they walk the same streets I do and see the same piles of shit on the sidewalks that are obviously human waste. There are a lot of unhoused people in the neighborhood and on the red line that deserve a toilet, at least.

A debate over human waste in public spaces has triggered a call for public restrooms in Rogers Park and Uptown. buff.ly/mR7jXn0

Many need much more help and I'm not 100% they would use a public toilet. Also that public toilet will need to be so very sturdy because people will try to destroy it and easy to clean because people will spray shit everywhere BUT in the toilet.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Damn it Jim! RIP Walter Koenig.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

You may think this is a sales pitch, but I had two (male) managers who used LLMs for parenting stuff like this. It's something I think corporate managers like to do to convince themselves they have emotions.

It’s hard to decide what part of this story on Marissa Mayer’s new startup is most loathsome, but this “women need a wife or, in other words, a digital servant” construction makes me want to flip over an actual table www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/s...

Only reason I know of them is from a scene in Monster-a-Go-Go where a lady orders a martini with TWO anchovy olives! Slow down lady! youtu.be/878RF7GUrVw?...

I'm watching a movie from the 50s and a woman just ordered a martini with an anchovy olive. I've had a drink or two in my time, but I've never heard of this bizarre cocktail garnish. I'm trying not to kink shame her drink choice, but she must be hunted down and stopped at all costs.

Important 🧵 re: Brazil elections.

Rafa Sales Ross@rafiews.com

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

wtf fuck this shit. This kid is good and playing a different level of game. Like he wants to win and has/knows he has to work like 4x as hard. He's bringing some pro ball work to kids who barely know how to run and kick at the same time. It's glorious.

thinking about a magat cousin who posted a tiktok where some girl was taling about doge like it was an actual government department and it became clear to me that neither the tiktoker or my cousin knew about the Doge meme.

I am lifting weights in anticipation of the day Shitpan Miller becomes a private citizen.

Miller deserves everything that's coming. He's afraid of state prosecutors because a presidential pardon only covers federal offenses; and beyond prison, there's also future congressional investigations and civil lawsuits. www.rawstory.com/rs-exclusive...

So here we have far-right militia attacking protestors and when the protestors defend themselves, the police charges them... Montpellier. These images are crazy and show where France is at regarding its fascist turn.

Les militants fascistes ont attaqués des manifestants rue de la Loge sous les yeux de la police, quand les manifestants ont répliqués, la police a chargé pour les protéger et les miliciens ont frappés les gens à terre ! #Montpellier #24octobre #ViolencesPolicieres @info.gouv.fr

Posting gym pics because I've worked hard and it's starting to show. They gym is basically body horror but it's the body horror that makes you better. Your body becomes a needy beast that demands more work, more food and slowly changes shape. It changes how you feel and think.

It's part of my basal ganglia. My body goes when my mind really doesn't. Pain? Unless it's really bad you work around it and strengthen the muscles that support the injury. It's mystical, emotional, and fun.
