COME GET YER WHISTLES!

Yes this includes out of town! We ship!!

Just setup a recurring donation to ICIRR because of this post. Encourage anyone who can to do the same. ICE has been on my block this week with spotters hot on their heels blowing their whistles.

The assholes are outnumbered. Every day is a testament to this truth. I see it all of the time. Most people are decent.

It feels so fucking insane to be scolded about how leftists need to tone down our rhetoric while the world's richest man endorses this shit

I just got my covid and flu shots at CVS. No questions asked. In and out in five minutes.

If you're in Illinois, don't hesitate to make an appointment ASAP -- before the wretched bastards in DC do another stupid and evil thing to stop it.

Opinion | Jay Bhattacharya: Why the NIH is pivoting away from mRNA vaccines As a vaccine for broad public use, mRNA technology has failed to earn the public’s trust.

I cannot emphasize enough that the playbook being used against mRNA vaccines (and vaccines in general) is IDENTICAL to the playbook used to restrict voting rights after the 2020 election: actively sow public distrust, then cite the distrust you sowed as an independent reason for your desired policy

the republican party hates public goods and wants to force feed you and your family slop produced by its billionaire allies

turns out you should improve your transportation infrastructure every 100 years or so.

Costco Mountain is a beast!

I'm just heartbroken for his wife and kids and all of us. What a mensch!

You were never to afraid or embarassed to be yourself. I'll never forget your friendship. Love you man.

Really exciting things happening with Midsommer Flight’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ this year.

This year we made a big switch, leaving Lincoln Park where we’ve been performing for over a decade and doing our first run of shows at Winnemac Park July 25, 26, & 27.

With two big things happening for us…

This view of policing comes as a surprise to nearly zero Americans who aren't white.

I really cannot emphasize enough (or believe, tbh) how important professional wrestling has become to understanding American politics

What the fuck is happening

THESE COLORS DON'T RUN with an eagle in pride colors

Same! Not a single photo

Is Arnande of "it's time for some game theory" Twitter?

Same! I think great school provided adrenaline that kept me focused... But I sat in the student workroom for seven hours doing nothing until 1am because... Undx.

Trump preparing large-scale cancellation of federal funding for California, sources say | CNN Politics The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding to California, an effort which could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources.

not enough said about how, by turning the national government against states on the basis of ordinary political disagreement, trump is undermining the idea that the union is worthwhile. www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

They keep acting like the Trump-musk thing is a distraction from a more substantive issue but it IS the substantive issue! They’re literally fighting about the bill! Take the W!

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

happy pride! only two more days till the gayest book i've written (so far) is out for everyone to enjoy! but you can pre-order now ✨

Was trying to get my head around a certain ketamine centibillionaire’s net worth of $342B and mathed the math:

He could spend $1M A DAY for 936 yrs before he ran out.

To help get your head around that, 936 years ago was the year 1089. The Crusades were still about 7 years from happening.

i'm sorry i had to miss this! but you can catch my pre-recorded segment online! i read from my upcoming release, the dragon next door!
