Never has there been a case of more "good fucking riddance," but it's not unamusing that they're hightailing it right after the first snow storm hit. Chicago has a built-in defense against unserious jagoffs and it's called winter.

when I looked at this ten years ago, those neighborhoods had a lot of infants but not too many school-age children. these are "stroller but not enroller" neighborhoods, where people have their first kid or two and then move somewhere else once they're school-age introvert.net/2015/04/04/n...

The blazing cowardice of the centre-right:

“Men go through life telling themselves a moment must come when they will show what they're made of. And the moment comes, and they do show. And they spend the rest of their days explaining that was neither the moment nor the true self.”

In response to Elon Musk dunking on someone as a "taker, not a maker," JCO quotes and replies "So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates—scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the 'most wealthy person in the world.'"

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

lot of economists looking into the back-half of "moral hazard" but very few philosophers talking about the first part

If this is Oyama, we were at this show! Seeing Marvelous in a small town venue was really really fun - I recommend it.

If you’re looking for an interesting alternative to light, I suggest checking out shadows

Levi, you are a great friend and neighbor, and I immensely value our decades of knowing each other, but I swear to God this better be the last fucking time you post a Love Is.... comic anywhere I'm likely to have to see it

Can feel my heart hardening every time I see one. “Those puppies are just going to spend the money on drugs”

i couldn’t be more excited about this show, and the next week of shows

"October, 2025. Trump is king of America. Only the D’s and District Court judges stand before him. Battlefields are now called ocean drugs drugs by sea they call it also.”

Maybe one of the best paragraphs about the modern internet that I've seen written, jesus.

two horrible and completely indistinguishable chihuahuas called goofus and gallant

Sandy was not ready.

lol at both chicago teams

Finally got something out of my head that's been there a while: A capsule history of the mid-density Chicago apartment building daniel-kay-hertz.ghost.io/the-life-dea...

caught my vampire neighbor creeping through my front door. he claims my saying “for sure dude, we should definitely hang out sometime” the other night counts as an invitation, but I disagree. we’re on hold with the etiquette hotline

edited comic panel. Batman is breaking a lump-with-handle cow tool over his knee and saying "this is the tool of the cow. we do not understand it. we will not use it."

Here's the recap of what we watched at Joshi Night 2 in September.

Ingrid Bergman as Ilsa Lund in Casablanca

“the girlfriend of one of the founders of antifa”

i think that's "the bean"

when it turns out you're *also* a type of guy

Saw some very interesting fraternal order paraphernalia at the initiative of the great @introvert.net

These guys are so vulnerable to defecting to Chicago

As a general rule any idea or concept that immediately leads to 'you must be ever wary and paranoid of people you know and also strangers' is poison that can be freely disregarded
