The narrator of this account after early voting at the Broadway Armory. I’m holding up an I Voted sticker with my painted nails. I’m wearing a bicycle helmet because I like my brain inside my head.

it’s a pretty great Saturday, it’s a pretty great weekend to go early vote! early vote for @katmabu.bsky.social who has in the last 24 hrs been back at the Broadview ICE facility for someone else kidnapped from ORD (since released). early vote against Laura Fine/AIPAC. early vote for anyone but Raja

siri, remind me to be in Mexico for the 2029 world baseball classic so I can watch it there

WBC fucking rocks, can't help it that MLB puts no effort in to the experience of enjoying a baseball game like the rest of the world does

On a beautiful, cloud-free late morning in autumn, several people including me ride down some protected bike lanes in Vancouver. The leaves are mostly green but about to change.

A protected bike lane in downtown Vancouver is bordered by some pretty orange and red autumn trees, casting shadows on the lane. It's clear blue skies out there, too.

From the view of an overpass, some of the few old nice brick buildings left in downtown Vancouver, having very detailed reflections cast upon them by varying curved glass buildings across the street, more grass towers in the background around a curve. It's bright and sunny out, no clouds.

A bookstore in downtown Vancouver beacons and calls, via 'sale' signs and also just so many books in the window

📸 Need to go more places and bike. Need to look at the views in more places from bike. #Vancouver #photography

Current radar for Chicagoland showing a narrow band of brisk showers currently moving into the city. A temperature overlay shows it's 62º at Midway ahead of the front, 60º at O'Hare, and 48º in Aurora behind the front.

well dang that's a sharp front coming across Chicago right now - 14º difference in temperature between Midway (62º) and Aurora (48º) #ilwx

Skeet from a functionally illiterate AI dick-rider: "Challenge for those who are very confident that Claude isn't conscious: Explain how human consciousness works."

these people make me want to [terms of service] man. istg.

One day it's gonna be the last unhinged 6:11 am Truth Social post. It would be so cool if today is that day but I know for a solid concrete fact that I will outlive that doddering old bag of rat shit so even if today isn't that day, I have something to look forward to

Drone shot of tornado damage in Union City, MI. Multiple homes on a lake shore are completely obliterated. The lake is still largely covered in ice. Source: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0ghzCkmzzUfPUDDf1Qdidaehd8Yj8N48Jad4vgJyG4gWugwJVSoHkAUHhepRJoWbTl&id=61575268032207

A violent tornado hit Union City, MI, earlier this afternoon and I can't get over this image of damage next to a lake still covered in ice. Tornado season in Michigan is an April - August thing. (image source in alt text) #wxsky

A line of very low clouds, plus long shadows from tall buildings, over Lake Michigan in Chicago.

Looking good, Lake Michigan.

A high-contrast, near black & white image of skyscrapers seemingly floating in the sky thanks to fog surrounding them. On the left is the Sears Tower, on the right is the crown of 311 S Wacker amongst the Chicago skyline

Today's weather is super moody

in another life, we're a pair of orcas sinking yachts

its postoclock somewhere

Aeroméxico emailed me with deals and offers four times yesterday and my love my beauty I would return if I wasn't going somewhere else in a couple weeks and packing my apartment up right now

defeat the Friends of the Parking Lot in single combat, replace LSD with a tram line, cap every freeway downtown, if you disappeared McCormick Place with something more interesting nothing of value would have been lost shhh don’t tell anyone I said that, the 78 should have a 20 story height minimum

A bikeshare ass up

hi, bike share expert here! this is not funny, divvys only do this when they’re in extreme distress.

istg I took a six hour break from the news and eight new stories dropped, I didn’t recognize the TL

did she get her new laptop from the gofundme though

BLUESKY EMPLOYEE: I hope our ugly users are hit by a high speed train.

BLUESKY POSTER: Sir, I run a food bank for coma orphans! Why would you say such a thing?

BLUESKY EMPLOYEE: I hope all the endangered animals on earth die. I hope the sky is choked with black smoke forever.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

like Murderbot, I also wish to just sit in the back of a ship and quietly catch up on my little shows

looks like everyone on the TL is not thrilled with march 5. did the moon do something? are we all blaming the moon? I'm down

so that's just Target

it's the sort of day at work where I wish to communicate with as few words as possible. small talk is a threat
