Tonight the Northern Lights over Chicago. Last night was a high-bar to reach, but it's rather amazing to see the aurora borealis this active this far south of the Arctic Circle

The downtown ice skating ribbon is scheduled to open this upcoming Friday! It may not open this weekend, because we've got some very warm forecast weather, but if anybody wants to go skating with me this season, hit me up!

Snowy Start. This morning, Chicago's Millennium Park gets hit with lake effect snow while the autumn colors are in their final days.

I just auditorially detected a yard of chickens in my neighborhood I didn't know about. I was walking under the L tracks, killing time as I waited for my train, and I heard what sounded like a rooster.

As a teenager, when I imagined the future, I did not imagine that I would be streaming video on my TV at home of slow motion plasma, as a normal and casual thing.

Due to a surprising and unexpected combination of circumstances, I ended up painting my nails in a public park, at night, on the balls of a dick in sharpie on a picnic table.

As I was walking to work this morning, enjoying the setting of the full moon and the brilliant sunrise, I was desperately hoping that Barry had his drone up in the sky, and he did!
Wednesday's WOW! This morning's spectacular panorama sunrise over Chicago.

Good morning, with the brief reappearance of dawn light on my morning pedestrian commute.

It will surprise no-one to hear that I would prefer year-round standard time.

This interview is super useful and super helpful. It's primarily about the fact that SNAP money is not in people's accounts today, and Hank is interviewing a friend of his who works for the society of St. Andrew, a charity which exists to end hunger.

Code Switch is my favorite thing about NPR. Here are two recent, excellent episodes, this one is one about the immigration raid at a South Shore apartment building in Chicago.

Although ICE has definitely been violating the temporary restraining order, maybe because of my naivete, I'm really hopeful that will change now that Bovino will be required to appear in front of a judge at 6pm every weekday.

Absolutely everyone else out here is wearing long sleeves, and here I am with my forearms showing. I guess I count as a Chicagoan, now?

Good reporting from NPR on domestic terrorism and data.

A report claims left-wing terrorism is rising. The data paints a complicated picture www.npr.org/2025/10/25/n...

The report's claim comes with caveats. Its critics say it does more to reveal issues around collecting and analyzing domestic terrorism data than it does to clarify the current state of the problem.

Cali has been very needy lately, crawling under blankets, and even once going inside my pillowcase. I realized the reason is that it's finally getting a little chilly, and she needs heat. So here she is on her heating pad!

I've had two different colds in the past month, one of which was very minor, and the one I'm recovering from right now, which was very major.

What a difference 2.5 months make! I took this plant out of its tiny little pot, put it into a large pot with rich soil, and it's growing like crazy. So much so that I cut off the top (the apical meristem, the lead) because it's just getting too tall. The lead is now in a glass of water.

The stage of deterioration where gangs of large (mostly) white men just publicly assault people who seem to be brown because they're brown in the hopes of doing far more harm to them in the name of the state. Glad this one escaped.

The barriers put in place to stop any trans girls from playing with others girls are so complicated and onerous that TEN SCHOOLS can’t get enough cis girls through them to field soccer teams this year.

Dinner tonight was fried shishito peppers and mushroom risotto. The mushrooms and shishitos were from the Farmer's Market. It was excellent!
