Most of all, I hate everyone who voted for this or didn't vote at all for causing $40 pizza. I just want a pizza to watch the girlies play sportsball. (that's sarcasm, y'all. there are absolutely bigger things to hate them about. but right now, it's the cost of a delivered pizza.)

Have discovered that RewindTV shows "My Two Dads," but it looks like they're playing someone's VCR tape labeled "MY 2 DADS - DO NOT ERASE".

My daughter & I loved the OG Hunger Games series. She asked me to read the first 2 books in the prequel to get ready for the upcoming movie. I'm on "Sunrise" and good gawd Beetee. We plan to see the movie together & I know I'm gonna be sobbing.

Chances are very high that if I have met you, I'm rooting for you. I absolutely adore seeing friends & acquaintances fuck shit up and do revolutionary work.

Can someone please look up what page of the Handmaid's Tale this is? Is there a rescue mission in the works for his wife?

Democrats should really feature these creeps their extensive ties to this administration.

YOU GUYS! I just realized this whole time I thought it was the guy from "The Morning Show" who did the Elizabeth Holmes doc. I was like, Wow! Range!

Happy National Coming Out Day to all the Gen X divorced ladies who survived "sex will kill you" messages in high school + LUG messages in college + comphet in our 30s & 40s.

Update on the condition of Wilber Rafael GarcΓ©s PΓ©rez at the South Texas Ice Processing Center. He’s being taken to the hospital. He is in tremendous pain and tells us that the bullet is still inside his left side. He can’t move the left side of his body.

Jay Carney? Amazon and AirBNB lobbyist Jay Carney? Never written a single fucking line of code Jay Carney? He's not part of the tech industry. He's part of the *finance* industry. The firms he represent having NOTHING to do with technology, they are firms that simply move money around.

NEW: As AI companies provoke intense scrutiny, former Obama White House official Jay Carney has joined an effort to β€œrebuild bonds” between Democrats and the AI industry. Dem operatives are joining the AI industry in droves – we’ve tracked over 100 former Biden officials who made similar moves.

Saw a call for submission with a term I hope never catches on regarding parenting more than 5 kids. Cause there's nothing extraordinary about deciding to have that many kids. Cool if you did. But I don't think it comes with a crown that minimizes those of us with "only 1-4" kids.

The Cardinals, in response to home-plate umpire Doug Eddings telling rookie Hancel Rincon to fix his hat last night, all wore tipped caps in their dugout tonight. The Rockies did, as well, after Eddings claimed Hunter Goodman asked for Rincon to fix his hat, something Goodman strongly denied.

Homan on people getting killed by ICE: "It comes down to one simple fact -- these people failed to comply with law enforcement ... all they had to do is comply. If they did, they'd be alive today."

Baddies on their way to Chicago for @wnba.com ASW. We have a lot of construction on our train tracks this weekend. This is last weekend's alert, but it should look the same this weekend. It'll be less easy to get from the UC to your downtown hotel. Save this! www.transitchicago.com/weekend/

ICE really is made up of the most absolutely divorced men on the planet.

A reminder that cities used to have terrible air quality like we have today on a regular basis and the current administration continues to actively dismantle the protections and regulations that cleaned that up.

Anyone know how many fed agents showed up to arrest the ex-Loretto exec? Asking cause a dozen showed up near my home to execute a fraud charge warrant. Felt like too many ppl needed to arrest for fraud. Esp if a case as big as Loretto is not getting jail time. blockclubchicago.org/2026/07/14/e...

Look... There's a burrfish I preserved 30yrs ago in the Field Museum collection that I would love to be reunited with. Just check in. See who else visited her.

My years old solution that I have told to many elected officials - make Milwaukee bikes only during rush hour. It'll pull bike traffic to a safe space. Us drivers have plenty of other options.

Chicago Tribune@chicagotribune.com

Letter to the Editor: There is a glaring absence of designated bike lanes running north and south through the midsection of Chicago. Please consider adding safe bike lanes, however configured, along a major north-south corridor, such as Pulaski Road.

*tap tap* Sports are inherently political. Always. Having a corrupt POTUS ask a corrupt governing body to break a rule? not an every day thing. But let's not act like sports are devoid of politics. Tax payer money. Gentrification. Affordability. Who gets to play. Who makes our equipment & gear.

Thursday is the next Pitch Your Peeps! Chicago's queer slide deck match making show. We have room for pitches! If you are 35+ queer & looking for new connections, ask someone to pitch you. All info & tickets at linktr.ee/PitchYourPeeps See you at Nobody's Darling at 7 pm!

This is such bullshit. Canada gets away with its own evils because the US demands so much attention, but it does the same things as the US while covering it with a veneer of niceness.
