I have a weakness for both Ishtar (1987) and Spies Like Us (1985), which in many respects are the same movie.

I’m holding on to some fireworks for the same occasion.

Judging by my followers, maybe 8 million of them are real people.

I haven’t watched more than a few episodes ever, but this morning I watched the Season 27 premiere and savored it.

Overheard: I'm surprised the nickname “Pedofuhrer" hasn't caught on yet.

A lot of fireworks going off around us in Chicago tonight. Too bad there isn’t much to celebrate.

I don’t believe a single goddamn thing coming out of this administration. This is absolute gaslighting madness. It’s as if we’re watching toddlers run through the White House screaming and smearing Gogurt into the carpet and the entire world has to pretend it’s the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

As if TACO Don, who likely wrote this from the golf course, has an effing clue what it is like to work for a living or what workers want.

I’m guessing that in 1850, making provisions for double tracking was not something that CNW and UP precursor Galena & Chicago Union was thinking much about. And I don’t know that the motoring rules of the road that we take for granted (right side running) existed yet.

Hey Bluesky, let's play a game, shall we? It's called "distributing these photos as widely as possible."

This man assaulted community members and threatened journalists yesterday. We sure would love to know more about him.

Recognize him? Please contact us!

My dad had always talked up his paperback edition of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. I read it after he died. It remains the lens through which I view economic bubbles and other manias.

Eff Bobby Kennedy and eff his vaccine troll appointees to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. I’ve had flu-related pneumonia. It had me largely out of commission for 6 weeks! Took 2 Z-packs to kick it, and months before I felt normal again. Not again, thanks. I want my annual flu shot!

Is it too much to ask for an IRS Commissioner who understands the law?

Our strategy for this is that feeding time is in the evening. Of course this means that all afternoon they are like, “is it dinner time yet?”
