Chicagoan back from Philly

Cities, movies, and politics

Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/sGW9
I forgot to update this a while ago, but thanks to many new followers, I am now back in Chicago!

There are a lot of you I have connected with on here but not in person yet. I'd love the chance to meet you all in real life in this great city now that I'm back

I couldn't see a thing by myself, but my phone somehow captured the Northern Lights from Montrose Harbor

Snow is so heavy in Chicago that I can barely see outside the office

I really can't believe this is the week my work decided to send us from Chicago to LA for training

At least the views here are pretty cool

In 2015, a hitchhiking robot that relied on the kindness of strangers travelled peacefully across Canada. However, the robot's journey across the US was cut short when it was beheaded, dismembered & stomped on within hours of arriving in Philadelphia.

But what if he survived and made it to Chicago?

The idea that One Battle After Another is the best movie of the decade is one that's going to drive me crazy because it's not even the best PTA movie this decade

But anyways, here's my two cents

My Google Pixel replacing the Google virtual assistant with AI has been a worse experience in every conceivable manner. It can't even tell me the weather right anymore

Some more pictures just because I can't choose my favorites

The museum is a delight, as it's just a much ila work of art as the sculptures themselves. It was fascinating to see how the art interacting with the space and with the people admiring it

Visited the newly opened Calder Gardens in Philly today, or as I like to call it, hard mode of the game "Kiki or Bouba?"

I am somehow, contrary to my understanding at all, approaching 1,000 followers

If I do reach 1,000, I promise my followers I will move back to Chicago

RIP to one of the greats, who was charismatic and electric up to the very end in The Old Man and the Gun

You know Mawn is authentic because they didn't tone down any of the spice for all the New York Times readers who are flocking to the restaurant now

For some reason, Spotify decided to attack me by putting in three different versions of Send in the Clowns into my Daylist for this afternoon

The beauty of living in the Great Lakes is going to the beach and not having to worry about hurricanes ruining water conditions

Kanopy is such a funny streaming service. It has such a wide selection of movies such that the top 10 most popular right now include two best picture winners, a blockbuster, and other critically acclaimed films

The most popular shows, however, are all BBC programs

Even GrubHub is trying to cash in on the engagement new cycle, and it hasn't even been 3 hours!

Awarding people for "creating"

Clearly the Trump Administration is just a fan of The Wire and don't want to go after good vigilantes like Omar Little

Who says chivalry is dead? On my run this morning, a woman riding a bike collided with me, and after, everyone ran up to her to see if she was ok

I'm completely baffled by the movies Spotify included in a recommended movie soundtrack playlist. I haven't heard of a single one of these movies or composers. They all look like they were made up for a 30 Rock sketch

The Trump administration is so corrupt, they're breaking portions of the Constitution most people have never even heard of before

Really missing Chicago on major anniversary like today

I don't use AI, but I acknowledge it has its uses. It's good for divergent thinking, which is thinking that yields many responses e.g., how can I write this email

AI struggles with convergent thinking, where there's one right answer

The issue is that most AI users don't understand this difference
