Cait Hakala

My friend watching KPop Demon Hunters for the first time:

"This isn't going to be a Luke/Leia situation where they have the same dad right?"

I want to confidently tell her no, but there is a sequel.........

This is wild! I'd expect to be able to use the same card twice and have. Like it might charge you twice, sure, but my spouse and I have definitely traveled on the same card before???

My spouse literally anytime it rains.

This is a fair point. I struggle with the implications of the surveillance state alongside traffic scofflaws becoming the norm/cameras being seemingly the only thing that slows people down. My biggest enemy in this city is cars.

Incredible, thank you!!

Where have you heard this?? The delight this brings me, I just want to see more about it because wow my blood boils every time.

What's extra wild is that because these two poles are bent in two different directions, I imagine this had to have been two separate incidents!!!!!!!!!!

STOP TRYING TO KILL US.

I am so, so tired of traffic violence everywhere I turn. This is on the north end of one of Chicago's largest parks! And it's a "protected" pedestrian crossing!

What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to live? The cars have to be stopped.

Two signs in the middle of a pedestrian island smashed completely to the ground at night

IF THE SIGNS AREN'T SAFE, THE PEOPLE AREN'T SAFE.

Montrose and Manor.

I've never seen a more consistently reactive audience than Good Boy in theater 2 at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social

We're talking constant awwws and gasps all out of concern for the cutest dog I've ever seen in a movie.

Why is @repandrade40.bsky.social district office phone disconnected? Was directed to his secretary's email but ???

Meanwhile, @senatorguzman.bsky.social is answering her own phone and definitely doing the work against the depravity we're seeing this morning in Broadview.

Call your reps!!!!!!!!

Collaborators, plain and simple.

Your state police are currently also creating panic in our communities.

Seriously @govpritzker.illinois.gov where are you? Why are you not down in Broadview putting a stop to this? You are enabling this terror!

Not a good look @govpritzker.illinois.gov!!!!!

I am reading The Blue Machine right now and loving it--it reminds me a lot of The Underworld by Susan Casey. If you haven't read that one, it's also excellent! Thanks for the rec!

Saw Big White Fog at Court Theatre last night and boy howdy y'all should see it while you can. A nuanced and powerful performance.

My friend and I agreed, we haven't seen a true ensemble cast in a performance in some time. So many shows with 2-5 players max. Curtain call was a stage full of talent!

I am not as pro-transit app as everyone else here is. Idk it doesn't always work for me!

A driver glares, furious at me for startling her with my loud "BOOOO!" as she speeds through the crosswalk I am legally occupying. I am shamed; I have not knelt before the altar of the vehicle. I will lie down in the nearest expressway (DSLSD) in sacrificial penance to the god of American Freedom 🦅

“The problem is...about 13,000 folks who have incurred between 30 to 50 tickets in the last 10 years...there’s a correlation between accruing a high number of tickets and [causing] a fatal or serious crash. We need to...engage with those folks.”

How do you engage with scofflaws? Serious question.

PUBLIC PRESSURE WORKS

Was this the Invictus production at Windy City Playhouse? So good!

What you wouldn't know from reading this headline is that a DRIVER PLOWED INTO THE BUS AFTER BLOWING A STOP SIGN AND CAUSED THIS.

Get it together, block club.

So to be clear this was not the optimal fuel.

Incredible, genuinely the photo of the year @staceywescott.bsky.social

This person is doing the work of rebranding the left as the real patriots in this country.

A Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich and sour patch kids are optimal fuel pre-30k trail race, right?

Cars have got to be stopped.

Red mini van with commission damage pulled up onto a sidewalk blocking a curb cut and pedestrian crossing entirely.

I just saw this--Idk if emergency services had them move onto the curb or if they had that bright idea themselves but they're fully blocking the crosswalk and curb cut. Even saw a wheelchair user trying to figure out how to go around and 911 was like yeah we know about that 🤷‍♀️
