In Chicagoland. Mostly dumb. Let me pet your dog.

My mom had a really bad accident this summer and it meant that I missed the @cbbworld.bsky.social show here in Chicago. My dear friend told Scott and today, the day before my birthday, my friend gave me this. Thank you @scottaukerman.bsky.social for more than you’ll ever know.
Up until yesterday, when people asked what part of Chicagoland I live in, I asked if they knew where @jimmypardo.com is from. Now I can ask them if they know where Jimmy Pardo AND the Pope are from. Very weird to know the Pope likes the same pizza place I do (Aurelio’s).

Shame that the Marie Antoinettes of (almost) space made it back ok. I would’ve been fine with them staying up there forever while actual feminists fight for women’s reproductive & voting rights and don’t just make clout chasing girlboss infomercials for billionaire bootlickers. But that’s just me. 💅

Be smart today. Turn off your phone location and face/thumbprint unlocking. Help those around you. The only way out of this is through it. There’s a hell of a lot of us.

Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

Very sad to hear that Brian James has passed. I used to put “The Lord’s Prayer” by Lords of the New Church and this song from the first Damned album on mix CDs in high school as a little tiny baby punk. RIP.

I just went to DC for my grandma’s 96th birthday and I got to see @jasonnarducy.bsky.social and friends doing nearly 3 hours of REM at one of my favorite venues in the country (9:30 Club). But this non-REM treat was a lovely little VU surprise 🍌

The man is human pollution, America's id. The international community is going to rally against this country to make sure we're hurt for decades because of all of this and we'll have deserved it.

I just took my first trip of 2025 (after a 2024 that can go to hell with gasoline pants on) so I’ve already got approximately 27 bags of trail mix, all open and spilling, in my carryon. We’re back, baby!

I’m seeing a lot of new folks/folks coming over from over platforms. Welcome! Just a note - over here, it’s pretty easy to find the trolls and chuds. DO NOT ENGAGE. Block and move on. Their profiles have no juice because no one will play their dumb game. Keep it going.

Chicago is frustrating ICE and again proving itself to be beautiful city full of inventive, principled organizers. Read this essay by my neighbor Raeghn Draper, director of The CHAAD Project––an organizing and mutual aid group for bar, restaurant, and hotel workers.

imo The Ramones should’ve recorded a Pet Sematary-esque song for every Stephen King film adaptation, e.g.
🎶I don’t want to be dining at the hotel from The Shining/
I don’t want a blowjob from a bear🎶
