Not alleging other things were going on or that other people knew, but I’ve gotten scrutinized when fries were shorted on a Saturday and we went to Restaurant Depot and spent like $250 on fries. $1.4 million in CC charges not being noticed is weird.
Still baffled by this. Our corporate office had the bank set our company card (the one card for the location) lower than my personal CC limit. Literally can only be used in the “oh shit, this is a catastrophe” moments. How investors and business managers didn’t see this on the P&L is very bizarre.

Enjoyed this video from @foldablehuman.bsky.social. There’s a clip of Mr. Beast saying education should be YouTubers explaining topics in a fun way. Not sure if this was the intent, but Dan made a great essay on Adorno’s “Culture Industry,” though it lacks a bizarre hatred of Woody Herman.
Also wonder why 8 doesn’t have an articulated bus in the morning. Before the Chicago bridge repair, used to get off at North/Clybourn and get the 8 to West Loop. Often two buses would be bunched and both packed. Waited for a third often cause they passed without stopping due to being full.
Definitely the 20 on Madison and occasionally the Jeffry Jump. Pretty reliable heading west in the morning when I get on to head to West Loop, but after work times are frequently off and have seen three 20s in a row before, which is only good in DnD.
I can’t wait for @chicagotribune.com editorial board’s scathing objection to this, since Mamdani mentions their God, Ken Griffin. Really wish MBJ was as cool as Mamdani. Also, really wish I got a Mamdani button when I was in NYC on Election Day for the Uniform/Boris show. What a night that was.
In my opinion, portraying this as quirky and funny is dangerous. With Waymos showing up on the streets now, what happens when they inevitably are involved in a crash? If someone is seriously injured or killed, who is held responsible? Would anyone be held criminally liable, like a drunk driver?
In my opinion, the framing of this question is not the greatest. Gives credibility to the lie that Trump might have thought he was a doctor, instead of asking directly about the mental health of the person who threatened to destroy a country a week ago.
Remember when he threatened to destroy an entire civilization possibly with nuclear weapons? Like a week ago and we just moved on. Negligent that the media isn’t framing every story on the crisis we are in due to Trump’s deteriorating mental state.

Great quote - wonder if I could ask how this plays into your writing process? Would be interested in if you had this “doubt”, and what that was, while writing “Neuromancer,” an incredible work.
How did the Ever/After guy embezzle $1.4 million without anyone noticing on the P&L? Huge amount for a restaurant.
Literally the bare minimum of what they should be doing. We gotta lay off the consultant class who just want to do nothing and see how it works out. Every special election this year has Dems up. Time to fight, not cower.
Which friends?
I emailed @duckworth.senate.gov, @durbin.senate.gov and @schakowsky.house.gov about this a few days ago asking, as an HoH person, what are they doing to hold these thugs accountable for the murder of a disabled person. Still no response. @danielbiss.bsky.social, #il09 wants accountability.
It’s my Friday night so I played pinball after work. Good session. Posted 355 million on DnD, a new PR. Still not close to 401 million which is #10 on the leaderboard. Fuck the side quests, just focus on defeating Rath with the multiball.
Right!?! Wonder what it was. Don’t think it was really because of volume. Still, such an incredible set. First time seeing Emperor, third Blood Incantation show. Absolute Elsewhere is great every time.
Why she is still the acting president and not just president yet is just one of the worst MBJ moves. Nora’s proven way qualified, gives a shit like 1000% more than Dorval did. What are we doing?
This is what I mean:
Holy shit. Emperor blew the mains three times in one song at Aragon. Don’t think the band knew cause they had in-ears and kept playing. Never seen that before. #metal
So r/nottheonion. Why are we granting anonymity to sources about the Red Lobster menu? Hilarious.
"the promotion set to kick in as soon as this month, according to people with knowledge of the plans, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the situation."
The funniest part of this is the Red Lobster PR team pretending to be Mark Felt.
Definitely recommend ADULT.'s new album, "Kissing Luck Goodbye." Wish their tour was coming through Chicago. Had a great time at The Bottle last time they were here with Plack Blague.
Don’t know what the @dansavage.bsky.social take is yet, but regarding Noem: IMO totally fine to have a bimbo fetish. Totally fine to crossdress. Totally fine if you’re a cuckold and your wife does stuff with her coworker. Just don’t use your position of power to harm others because you’re afraid.
Anyway, sorry for the procurement rant and not just talking about #doommetal. Not sure if I made any point other than this is not ideal.
The new Neurosis album is really great. Probably their best since the collab with Jarboe from Swans. Aaron Turner, from ISIS, is a great addition.
I really respect Sysco drivers. They do back-breaking work. It's not easy to sort and seg 26 pallets at sometimes like 20 different stops. The drivers I deal with are gold and incredibly good people. Sysco sales reps are notoriously bad. There's an issue? Good luck getting them on the phone.
Sysco is also a very conservative company and anti-union though some drivers are Teamster (Illinois drivers are I believe.) The consolidation of the industry also significantly affects warehouse laborers and drivers, as there are fewer job opportunities to go to a company with better wages.
