Donald Westlake had a character exactly like that. In one book, his family performs an intervention for him, sending him to Club Med to see if he can learn to be less unpleasant.
Screenshot from the John Dortmunder Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dortmunder): Arnie Albright: Dortmunder's usual fence. Arnie lives alone in a squalid apartment on the Upper West Side and collects calendars. His appearance and behavior repulse every character he encounters, but he is fully aware of this and compensates by offering better terms than his competitors. Even Dortmunder can't always stand dealing with Arnie, and from time to time he goes to another fence named "Stoon" (actual name not currently known).

How they got a manhunt going when there's not even evidence or a crime scene?
Screenshot of text from the Sun-Times article: "By 10:22 a.m., an officer told a dispatcher that a “crime scene” still hadn’t been located for the shooting. “We’re still looking,” the officer said over police radio."

This is so embarrassing
Photo of the back cover of a BUDK knife catalog. It shows a Donald J Trump branded pocket knife, with *TRUMP* in red letters on the handle over a backdrop of stars and stripes in black & white. The blade is black with "45*47 DONALD J TRUMP" written on it and a rendering of Trump wearing a red baseball cap that says "MAGA," in front of an American flag that's rendered only in red and white, with the blue parts represented by the black color of the blade. The photo is captioned "Show your unwavering patriotism • black titanium coated aluminum handle • quick, one-handed deployment • measures 4 1/2" closed • 4" closed" The knife is priced at $19.99 Photo of the front of the same catalog. It says "LOCK IN SAVINGS BEFORE TARIFF PRICES HIT"

Women don't like the vehicle
Frankenstein's race car from Death Race 2000. It looks like a dragon or something, it's green has red "eye" headlamps, spiky teeth coming out the grill, and a spiky spine running along the center from the hood over the roof

I bought the absolute coolest T-shirt I have ever seen at the Jeff Rosenstock show tonight
Black concert T-shirt: the image shows a police car-cybertruck with a dead lego minifig/ICE agent's head through the windshield with a flagpole planted through the windshield. The flag is black & white but represents a perversion of the Betsy Davis US flag which has rainbow stripes and pot leaves replacing the stars and 666 in the middle of the blue field. There is vegetation (in color) beneath the vehicle and text that says in yellow "DEATH ROSENSTOCK SAYS NO!"

I don't know what this MAGA troll's plot is, but somebody is trying to do something with the running community in my village
Reddit screenshot: Thinking about starting a new Oak Park run club - thoughts? Hey neighbors I've been thinking about starting a new run club in Oak Park (and surrounding areas like River Forest + Forest Park) geared toward folks in their 20s and 30s. The idea is to create something inclusive - all paces, all faces — with a younger, more social vibe. I know Oak Park already has the Oak Park Runners Club, and they've built a great community! From what I've noticed though, their group tends to lean a bit older (40s/50s) and less diverse. Nothing wrong with that at all but I wonder if there's room for a club that speaks more to 20- and 30-somethings who live in the burbs and can't always make it out to Chicago's big run crews.
