While I was playing around videoing airplanes flying under the aurora last night, I had my other camera taking stills. Here's 1661 stills connected covering 55 actual minutes. The bright, fast moving streaks are the airplanes. I sped this up faster than normal because we all have swiping to do.

The liquor store in Ogilvye was playing the EP version of Atomic Dog (Parliament), and I said something like “god this reminds me of when the DJ at the club would fuck with this song for like 20 minutes.”
Cashier knows me and says something like yaaaaasssss.

I just filed a brief that has one em dash, quite a few semicolons, and one set of ellipses. And no, I did not use AI.

An influx of about $142 million in revenue derived from the state’s mass transit funding bill will prevent any cuts and allow for some modest improvements at the agency.

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades?
Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes
The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.

Hey Chicago - it’s potentially going to snow A LOT tonight. If you have neighbors who may not feel safe leaving the house right now, consider clearing their walks and front steps tomorrow.
We have a new electric snowblower and two shovels and plan on doing most of our side of the block.

My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."
In Chicago, We Run Toward Danger Together
"Faced with unrelenting state violence, Chicagoans have refused to be cowed," says Mariame Kaba.

Why is this fucking bozo asshole aiming an actual GUN with a 20 round magazine at people? Notably, it’s also a gun about which there are questions about it randomly discharging, so that’s fucking great.
