How I arrived on Bluesky
(I was never on the Twits)

It's oddball smalltalk hour on the Kimball bus

Unless you have a dead rat in your alley

"40th District Community Candidate Forum" on a large screen. "Palenque LSNA" on a sign on a table

40th District Candidate Forum is about to start, at the NEIU Centro campus. This is the Miguel Alvelo-Rivera vs Jaime Andrade race in NW Chicago.

Sitting in a mutual masturbation session about AI and really stifling my urge to ask "is anyone thinking of the environmental impacts?"

In its endorsement the Trib mentions that "Croke led the charge in 2024 to protect Chicago’s selective-enrollment schools from threats emanating Mayor Brandon Johnson"

This is a very Trib rendering of a story that I feel makes Croke not a great candidate for a statewide oversight office.

Counting newsboy caps in my line of sight is a good way to pass the time. There's always at least 6

Now there's a reboot I would watch.

Once again The Onion nails it.

This is one of those "I shouldn't laugh, but I did" moments.

I was just thinking about how many countries the US has attacked in my lifetime, and it's a lot. We should go back to armies meeting on a field and hacking each other with swords. Definitely fewer deaths and near zero chance a school full of kids will get in the way.

Albany Park, I love you so much

Many of Jaime Andrade’s newest signs have now been amended to make clear who purchased them (Draft Kings, under a newly formed PAC attempting to obscure themselves as the purchaser)

I don't think there's any food more disappointing than cold, leftover french fries

" ever since he was a little boy his dream was to die bleeding in the mud for the host of Celebrity Apprentice"

Cops love to help their little Nazi buddies hurt us. They don’t keep us safe.

Thread. There are a lot of Super PACs with non-descript, even pleasant sounding names, that are throwing millions into Democratic primary elections in order to boost the crappiest Dem candidates (like the one, below)

It makes perfect sense to a narcissistic idiot who watches nothing but Fox News, has probably never read a real book, and swims in the filth of his own social media platform.

Pinch of flour. Salt at least has flavor

Good night

People remember that it was American meddling that pushed Iran to wind up with a Theocratic government in the first place, right? Right?

OMG Capybara is my spirit animal

It's a good thing litter doesn't vote (aka mailers and signs).
