Shermerville

Northbrook could have stuck with their original name Shermerville but nope!

It's back for 2025! I remain 100% into this artwork: www.nbparks.org/events/kooky...

It was fab. Really. The waiter mixed up our order and we got stuff we didn’t want but that was delicious too. They do have lots of growing pains, but the food was really good. I went with a friend who lived in Taiwan for 10 years and he was very impressed too.

Thanks Northbrook Public Library & everyone who attended our event tonight to celebrate the release of WHY I LOVE HORROR edited by @raforall.bsky.social !

Did not visit yet but this appears to be open now. Any first impressions?

I have been to Northbrook. It is a very cool city. 😃

Meanwhile at Northbrook Court, it looks like Christmas is starting in #September. This might be the earliest I’ve ever seen any shopping center decorate for #Christmas. 😅

#47Shermerfest 🍂#Northbrook📍#Community #Chamber #Sunday🌞

Will I be there? 🤔

Shermerfest is today from noon to 4pm at the Village Green

The piece ends with "we all have to live together, somehow"

The thing is, if a guest in my house starts in on Great Replacement Theory or how white people have innate mental superiority or another of CK's greatest hits, I will not be inviting that person back.

Reposting since I posted about this vigil earlier (thanks for the tip @steverezabek.bsky.social)

I thought of CK like I thought of Louis Farrakhan: a guy with a big platform pushing bigotry with a religious veneer. This outpouring of grief surprised me.

The most charitable explanation I've got is he's still got a decade-old mindset that he's going to lose his seat to Bob Dold again

Stopping by the local Charlie Kirk vigil.

Hey it’s already Friday afternoon somehow and that means this protest is tomorrow at 12PM.

Plan now to bring an old shirt, longsleeve, hoodie, etc., so I can spray paint it with the slogan MUSK MUST FALL.

Protest sign reading FIRE TRUMP MELT ICE with some How to Report ICE (Chicago Edition) zines on it.

😐 is right

Also, 🙄

I mean, "present" was an option, Brad!

The results are in: that's a disappointing "yea" from Brad Schneider (for those in the 10th district) and a "not voting" from Jan Schakowsky (for those in the 9th)

(yes, we also continue to be a big Tesla town so I could be very wrong)

Vigil?! I mean, one thing I thought we could count on is this town not tolerating antisemitism. I guess not?

A map of Shermerville weather stations showing rain totals from today. Most of the downtown area seems to have received over 1" of rain but there's an outlier at Shermer and Dundee that claims it received over 7"! I don't believe it.

We got some decent rain totals this morning, but what's with this one gauge out near Shermer & Dundee reporting 7+ inches?

This isn't the first time I've seen this weather station report outrageous numbers. Who operates it?
