Living room record holder.
I write and talk for a living.
Chicago.
The problem with having the new phone delivered to work is that now I will want to play with the new phone instead of work.

Franny and Zooey changed how I thought words could be.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Wrong doesn’t matter to these people. Evil doesn’t even matter. Being “different”, which they say is “independent”, matters. Heck, being wrong is a VIRTUE because it means you’re unflinchingly independent.

RIP my friend.
RIP writer, artist, actor, nice guy, and Chicagoan extraordinaire Tony Fitzpatrick. Here’s a photo I snapped of him at the Printers Row Lit Fest in 2016.

Lincoln Park Zoo Ghost Tour. The spookiest part was up close after dark with the lions.
But did you know the park once had a towering s**cide bridge?
Seems like poor municipal planning.

did an important message about my car’s warranty write this?
my most unpopular opinion is that it's a sign of defective moral character if you point blank refuse to answer phone calls from unknown numbers. it's not that hard to hang up on spam/scammers, and you are probably missing important calls!

I need a Bluesky feed that’s just skeets and news about heists.

I once met a girl whose super power was finding 4-leaf clovers. She just walked into the grass, picked one, and gave it to me. People are amazing

Cancelled my Disney+ and Paramount+. I presume the Paramount+ will make a bigger impact because there were only 5 of us.

We need to add extensions to flag polls so we can fly flags at Double Mast. Like when it happens.

CBS on Face The Nation literally just reported that the Kirk shooter may have been in a queer relationship with someone who was transitioning.

They’re always pivoting back to trans hate.

If you’re looking for a break from all this *discourse*, urbanism Bluesky is so wholesome right now.
California just passed an apartment/transit measure (SB 79) and the YIMBY’s are taking a victory lap.
#urbanism

Being profoundly inconsistent isn’t hypocritical when their only value is self interest. That’s why showing them their hypocrisy isn’t shameful, because they’re not being inconsistent, their one value is self-interest.

At the dentist with coffee breath. What’s the CPT code for that?

When you still know your boy’s NFL Europe team, his all time QB, and the play he used to torch your ass with in Madden 😆

If someone told me the Bears, with a brand new offense, brand new defense, and entirely remade o-line, would win the first 3 quarters and only lose by 3 points to the 14-win Vikings… I would absolutely take it.

No one is going to want to see this team in December.

Saw a really fun @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social show at the Salt Shed, biked home and still had time to catch up with a friend who’s struggling.
Reminder to reach out to your people.
