Sun-Times featured Belmont-Cragin's best Pozoleria with some great food photography. Please support the pozoleria. It's great on a cold day. I like their Morelos style but red.

In terms of locomotive energy efficiency, bicycles basically turn humans into land dolphins.
There’s a reason why the bike’s fundamental design has barely changed in a century. You can’t improve on perfection!

Good news, we have magic on our side
Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

a reminder for Chicago folks that picking up or throwing back a tear gas canister will badly burn you unless you're wearing welding gloves which can be purchased for very reasonable prices at Menards

This is what nocturnal migration looks and sounds like. Taken the other night at 2:30am from Avondale using a thermal camera and my NFC microphone. 🪶

Pink Line overperforming, good job Pink Line
Yesterday, the CTA L lines ran:
101% Pink
99% Yellow
99% Green
95% Orange
90% Brown
80% Red
70% Blue
61% Purple
... of scheduled trains. Since 2020, CTA L Service has been cut by 0%. Riders deserve frequent and reliable transit, with return to at least pre-2020 levels.

DHL has suspended worldwide deliveries to the USA as of today, too. It's fun being a pariah!

It's been a while since I rode over 46 miles in a day. I was so exhausted the next day and a bit into Tuesday but what a great time!

This Black-bellied Whistling Duck is such a great bird hanging out in Chicago's North Pond right now. These ducks have been expanding northward in recent years.
There are at least 40 hanging in a small pond just south of Peoria, and one behind the Walmart near McHenry, IL.

Keep up the PRESSURE! House Republicans do not have the votes to pass their tax scam and everything is stopped while they "negotiate.” @housedemocrats.bsky.social are voting NO.

A win! Thank you to everyone who spoke out! After facing bipartisan resistance, the Senate Parliamentarian, ruled that Sen. Mike Lee’s proposal to sell off millions of acres of federal land cannot be included under reconciliation rules.
