It’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers
The annual pumpkin display at the entrance of Governor Pritzker’s personal residence on Astor Street. He is the pumpkin king. Illinois produces the most pumpkins, including canned, than any other state in the U.S., twice as many as the next five states combined.

SISKEL & EBERT, which premiered #OTD in 1986, had a master class of an opening sequence.

Thirty-five seconds, 21 shots, and a flawless establishment of the professional rivalry of two Chicago newspapermen who inspired a generation of film buffs. #FilmSky #TVSky

Before buying a “safe” new airplane from an unethical company like Boeing, consider all the retired airplanes sitting in the desert in the hopes of finding a new forever home. Adopt, don’t shop.

🚨Border Patrol arrested two firefighters who were actively fighting a wildfire at the time.

When the other members of the crew asked for a chance to say goodbye, a Border Patrol agent told the crew member “you need to get the f*ck out of here. I’m going to make you leave.”
