rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

I'd rather the red line smell like weed than all these loyola/ northwestern frat boys and their doused in axe chemical warfare.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Too bad that the archdiocese closed this church so no one is there to get the message.

Finally quiet in the castle. New episodes of SNW, South Park, AND Beavis and Butthead on tap. The rest of the world is going to hell, but at least I've got this moment.

Local man experiences Diner Grill for the first time.
Having a Slinger, which is hash browns under two hamburgers under four (?) eggs under roughly two gallons of chili. Fifteen bucks. I am the Anthony Bourdain of slop and you cannot stop me.

Just a little reminder that PBS Passport is only $5 a month, and you can get stoned and watch Geoffrey Baer specials all night long. Or nature documentaries. Whatever. It's cheap AF and supports good stuff.

Hey Chicago people- the Glenwoods Avenue arts fest is this weekend in Rogers Park. It's not the same StarEvents crap as many of the other street fests.
