Hmm wonder where some of that money could come from instead of property taxes.
"As the City begins a historically challenging budget process for 2026, we hope this tool will be of use to Chicagoans, to City officials, and to the CPD itself," said Deborah Witzburg, Inspector General for the City of Chicago. "CPD is the City department which, by a gaping margin, occupies the largest percentage of the City's budget. In recent years, CPD's overtime spending alone has dwarfed the entire budgets of many other City departments. In 2024, for example, over 11,000 sworn CPD members worked some amount of overtime at a cost to taxpayers of more than $270 million." Chicago taxpayers have spent at least $231.2 million to resolve lawsuits alleging Chicago police officers committed a wide range of misconduct — including wrongful convictions and improper pursuits — this year, according to an analysis of city data by WTTW News.

I'll let you decide.
From Supergirl #3 (2025), a panel showing Krypto the Superdog with a mask, peeing on a red truck and causing the front to melt with a "Sssszzt" sound. The bearded man in the truck is saying "Nooo, my car!"

City Wedding Vacation!
A fuzzy picture from Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen, where he is wearing a tarzan-like bodysuit, and is putting a wedding ring on Bruna, a gorilla from Gorilla City wearing a mosquito-net veil with yellow flowers.

Whatever do you mean?
A picture of a bookcase showcasing the Superman cover with "President Luthor" seated against a red background. The cover is a spoof of the Art of the Deal.

"Why read when you can pet?"
A black cat sits unrepentantly on top of an open comic book (Legion of Superheroes) on a desk.

Sticker board! I needed something for all of these.
A black frame with a whole bunch of stickers on it, as well as colored paper to punch up the background. There are too many stickers and honestly I don't remember what all of them are from, but there are a mix from various podcasts, ttrpgs, books, Kickstarters, queer happiness, and of course sexy pokemon.

He is equally helpful for in-person games or while prepping (see trying to draw the battlemap for 6-01 Year of Immortal Influence).
A hand attempts to draw a line on a plain map with a dry erase marker, while a black fluffy cat paws at the hand/marker/map and refuses to allow such nonsense. Under the cat is also the map layout for Vigil's Hope, helpfully obscured by the floof.

Well if you insist.
A black cat curls up on a keyboard, next to a copy of the first book of Spore War, Whispers in the Dirt, by Jason Bulmahn. On the computer screen behind the cat, a map in Gatewalkers book 3 is shown, with PCs fighting two invisible creatures.

Groetus, a god in Pathfinder who shows up as a moon with a skull face that circles over the plane of the dead (boneyard), is pictured, but with the addition of white and pink cat ears and a little pink bow. Gruwutus.

Purrball activated and performing at high volume and high fluff levels.
Two very fluffy black cats, Aza and Soth, lay curled in a ball in my arms on a desk. Aza is looking up begging for more pets, both are purring dramatically.

My voids are slapstick Lovecraft horror. They will tear holes in you then fall off a countertop.
Two black fluffy cats sit in one bed on top of a dark grey and tan cat tree. One has his head and a single paw dangling out, looking like he is about to fall out. The other cat has his head on the edge as he sleeps and dreams of world domination.

What is your favorite food from your home culture/country/ region that you love, but that folks don’t seem to know about or appreciate?

Persimmon pudding/cheesecake. If you aren't picking up smooshed fruit from the ground (it's the ripest) you're doing it wrong.
Persimmon pudding on a white plate with a big dollop of whipped cream on top. The pudding is a baked brown, with thicker edges and a dense but soft center. Overall about an inch thick and cut into a 4"x4" piece.

There's some gorgeous art from Paizo of a snapdragon leshy (plant person) wielding a flail with the little snapdragon hulls. It's incredibly adorable.
Art credit to Paizo from Fistfuls of Flowers scenario developed for FreeRPGDay. A small humanoid covered in green leaves that drape like armor stands with legs apart, clutching a flail. The haft looks possibly wooden, with metal end caps, the top of which is connected to three metal chains. The chains end in a clean snapdragon hull which looks like a small skull with big round eyes and an oval, almost fish shaped mouth. The humanoid has a pink snapdragon colored and shaped head with eyes, angry green eyebrows, and a toothy mouth, and down her back are more pink snapdragon flowers that flow into a snapdragon tail that extends several feet past her and nearly to the ground. Around her torso she wears a plain metal breastplate.

I love scaring my players just by the use of specific tokens. Just a couple of statues hanging out 😆
It looks like a generic battlemap with 5 foot squares on dirt grass. Two statues that look like crying angels stand beside four player characters - a smiley uplifted raccoon thief, a human woman fighter with a sword, a laughing tanuki swashbuckler, and a devilish (with a gem encrusted tophat) kobold alchemist.

One of my favorite books!
Book Cover for Legends and Lattes, written by Travis Baldree. Shows a dark haired orc woman with a loose ponytail and a pink skinned tiefling standing back to back. In front of them are pastries arranged on a counter covered in a tablecloth, and in the background there are wooden walls, a chalkboard, and some teacups. The orc holds a kettle and a teacup, while the tiefling is holding a heavily iced cinnamon roll. Both are smiling towards the view.

Beware what you ask for.
A comic panel from Hawkgirl #4 "Behold! The Metropolis dog! Canned peaches, chili, french fries, red cabbage sauerkraut and a fried egg! I love this stand because it does a little Sriracha "S" in ketchup on the egg. I got yours in Sriracha, Taylor." A short pink-haired black woman is in front of a yellow background, holding out four hot dogs with what looks suspiciously like the ingredients listed on them. She looks really happy, with a large grin.

These two babies (Azathoth 'Aza' and Yog-Sothoth 'Soth') have been home with us for a week and are already curled up in our hearts. One is unburdened chaos and the other slowly plots your doom and then strikes in the early hours of the night. So well named apparently.
Two black cats sit on a bed (ignoring the cat bed right next to them), one has his tongue out in a blep.

Without downloading new pics, what's it like dating you?

(I couldn't choose)
Large disembodied hand patting the head of a smaller person. Text states "Condescending pat". Lady stands frustrated in a street, other people staring at her. Text states "She did it again! She topped me! Topped Me! TOPPED ME!"

Got the short stories, and the bookstore owner decided to throw in the tarot book from her for free. Well alright maybe I can use this for harrow. Cool seeing just how broad her impact is!
Three books laying down - the DC Pride Celebration of Rachel Pollack with doom squad and Coagula on the cover, Burning Sky short stories with a very dark cover and a fuzzy person on the cover, and Tarot: The Open Labyrinth with several tarot cards surrounding a labyrinth.

Piri is a gnomish inventor - her specialty is robots after wandering through Varisia and Numeria for some time. She's become a collector of goblin ears and as an original visitor to Sandpoint, loves to gossip loudly and without tact with everyone she sees in town.

How did your totally PF2e game go today? Uhhh....
Paneled pictures, first one shows an individual getting ready for a game and putting on their headphones, second is a large bird person with a bird familiar. Third shows the bird person holing a unicorn horn saying "I can't believe they would do this to a unicorn" and the last panel is a fungus person (also a PC) with a skull on dirts head holding a knife above dirts head while a loud "NEIGH" echoes in the background. (Yes, the fungus person's pronouns are dirt)
