Its so hard to understand the scope and scale of the Federal attack on Chicago, led by ICE and CBP.
I put this map and table together, highlighting the most significant incidents from 9/19-10/25. The area shown is roughly 30 by 35 miles with incidents in all corners.

Officially done with my time at Burnt City Brewing and the District Brew Yards.
Bitter but on to the next thing I guess.
Given the world, who the fuck knows what "the next thing" is gonna be.

The Federal government has attacked Chicago but Chicagoans are doing a great job documenting what is happening. However, I do not feel that there is a solid timeline of key events forming, and so I put one together
Here is a 🧵with details on each, including sourcing and videos. AMA

Oh, also, still not investing anything in Bluesky and still just squatting.
As far as I'm concerned, Bluesky is like that episode of South Park where they burn down Walmart and go to TruValue and then they burn that down too because the wrong lesson was learned.

Coming up on my 10 year anniversary at my job.
I'll be honest, I'm less ecstatic than I thought I'd be.
Instead, I simply am increasingly isolated and growing more firm and concrete in my disdain of all things. ✌️

Not my most intense year of movie watching due to stress, depression & a shit load of Space Station 14. Still I give you my Top Ten PLUS my lists of every first time watch I Loved and Liked in 2024 AND my 31 Nights List.

While I probably watched fewer releases this year than in recent memory, what I did see, I really loved. Alas, I didn't get around to nearly as many one as I was looking forward to before years end.

Popping back up for a second as I am in the middle of my yearly Burd's #31NightsOfHorror and about to embark once again to the Music Box for their 24 Hour Horror Marathon.
Thought to post my #Letterboxd list for this year for anyone who might be interested.

Still not convinced I have much to add over here but I'm going to continue to rely heavily on Letterboxd as a crutch to put myself out there.
So, enjoy one of my favorite lists dedicated to appreciating The Horror Duology. A concept I strongly defend. Love a great horror film combo.

I am a strong believer in the one-two punch that is the Horror Duology. Sure, they are almost always born from a money grabbing sequel (or, nowadays, requel) scheme but a duology often allows a story…

So yesterday, I fell off my brew deck, broke my glasses, busted my face.
I'm pretty tired still and would normally do a more fun write up of my Letterboxd Last Four Watched this week. Instead, just gonna post my actual full week. It was a pretty good one (right up until yesterday😮💨)
