I cannot tell you how weird it is to wonder to myself if the Pope ever had to do Christmas shopping at Orland Square Mall. Also, thought you’d appreciate this. GO SOX.

Up until yesterday, when people asked what part of Chicagoland I live in, I asked if they knew where @jimmypardo.com is from. Now I can ask them if they know where Jimmy Pardo AND the Pope are from. Very weird to know the Pope likes the same pizza place I do (Aurelio’s).

Shame that the Marie Antoinettes of (almost) space made it back ok. I would’ve been fine with them staying up there forever while actual feminists fight for women’s reproductive & voting rights and don’t just make clout chasing girlboss infomercials for billionaire bootlickers. But that’s just me. πŸ’…

Be smart today. Turn off your phone location and face/thumbprint unlocking. Help those around you. The only way out of this is through it. There’s a hell of a lot of us.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Didn’t they just get mad about the Ukrainian prez not being dressed up enough? Because gramps with his Carhartt fishing jacket on doesn’t exactly scream Oval Office black tie.

Very sad to hear that Brian James has passed. I used to put β€œThe Lord’s Prayer” by Lords of the New Church and this song from the first Damned album on mix CDs in high school as a little tiny baby punk. RIP.

I just went to DC for my grandma’s 96th birthday and I got to see @jasonnarducy.bsky.social and friends doing nearly 3 hours of REM at one of my favorite venues in the country (9:30 Club). But this non-REM treat was a lovely little VU surprise 🍌

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

I just took my first trip of 2025 (after a 2024 that can go to hell with gasoline pants on) so I’ve already got approximately 27 bags of trail mix, all open and spilling, in my carryon. We’re back, baby!

The fascism part sucks but him pretend driving the trash truck was objectively hilarious. Like if your grandpa did it, it would have made the semi finals of America’s Funniest Home Videos

I’m seeing a lot of new folks/folks coming over from over platforms. Welcome! Just a note - over here, it’s pretty easy to find the trolls and chuds. DO NOT ENGAGE. Block and move on. Their profiles have no juice because no one will play their dumb game. Keep it going.

Block and don’t engage. They’ll pop up every once in a while but block and move on. They’ll get bored when no one engages with them.

Get yourself some starter kits. Find the things you like (independent film or basketball or whatever) and find a starter pack. One click and you’ll be following all the cool folks you wanna interact with.

Chicago is frustrating ICE and again proving itself to be beautiful city full of inventive, principled organizers. Read this essay by my neighbor Raeghn Draper, director of The CHAAD Project––an organizing and mutual aid group for bar, restaurant, and hotel workers.
