Terry Kubika did it at the ‘76 Olympics, then it was banned until recently. Scott Hamilton did it during the free skate (non-competition) at the ‘84 Olympics.

I was a Mother Hubbard’s bartender, it was the only time I remember getting to close before 4am. Thank god the GM at the Courtyard kiddy corner from us was a regular. He let me stay for free because I had to open the next day. Just getting across State was heck that night, the next day was unreal.

I had two blue heron at the channel/north branch confluence the other morning when the windchill was -27. I’m amazed that I still see them every winter.

The cool thing is that we know that every person out there in this cold is extra demoralizing to ICE and the administration. We fucking hate you so much and we’re prepared to stand outside in temperatures you can’t even fucking fathom to tell you that you suck absolute shit.

I ended up meeting so many neighbors because of this BS, many of them at whistle packet packing events at local bars. A few Chicagoans who put these on will be doing a whistle event by you guys, FYI.

It looks like it is being gutted on the inside now that the plasma joint is gone. I’m hoping a good business comes in, it a gorgeous building.

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are.

“Grok told CNN…” no it didn’t. You typed stuff into an unreliable calculator.
