WE NEED HARMONIUMS FOR THE SEA SHANTY, NOT THE DIDGERIDOO

Never liked a lot of the aughtsy/early teens twee-ass, stomp clap, LOOK AT ME, I'M WHIMSY ish those kind of bands peddled.

What in the Arcade Fire/Mumford and Sons bullshit is this?

Also had a friend who dealt. He was totally cool, never charged me, and kept shit platonic. He actually helped me move out here for grad school. Lost touch with him after he got arrested.

I only met Crawlers at the big parties my friends threw because they had to give him an invite. Said girlfriend would start talking to me about how street smart she is while downing Sobieski straight from the bottle and going OFF about how psyched she is for Kottonmouth Kings at Roseland.

As a woman, I never paid for weed BITD cause I had friends that always had a stash for hangs or would just straight up give me an eighth because they wanted to date me. However, the Crawler types I knew usually had a girlfriend that you were not sure was an adult or minor at first glance.

Especially if some dipshit gets smug about their Apple products (being smug about tech is loser shit)

A certain someone of Hungarian ancestry in our house wants to make goulash from scratch in honor of this.

Picture of two cats, one a male tabby and the other a female black cat cuddling on a cat bed.

Might as well pay the cat tax. Gustav (tabby) Alma (black). Gustav is 16 but our drama mama left us about two years ago.

The dude we got our sibling cats from 🐈‍⬛️🐈‍⬛️

I saw this picture and immediately got "Spirit of Radio" stuck in my head. I think I'd like that song better if it were about trees ("OF TAPMEN!" or some shit).

TFW you don't give a fuck about the Hanoi Jane shit because Vietnam was senseless to begin with.

BTW, these drafts are usually tweaked from tried and true boilerplates. Shit like this is senior paralegal or associate work, depending on the complexity.

Last week, an atty on my big client team had to correct what they thought was an AI draft provided by an overseas associate for a response filing. I think it took them twice as long as it normally does to do the redlines.

Let's do AI next!

My precinct went decently for Stratton, but a little bit further west in Dunning...tracks.

This feels very NW Suburbs coded.

The suburbs are the reason why we can't have nice things in Cook Co.

A bit bummed that Kat Abugazeleh did not win, but I'm hoping that we'll see more of her in the future. FWIW, Delia Ramirez is my Rep.

Sentient water-wrinkled thumb Brendan Reilly got his ass handed to him. That said, I hope Preckwinkle is cultivating her potential successors.

Kaegi was doomed from that Tyler debacle, and now we're gonna likely go back to old school Cook Co bullshit and property taxes will still rise (but not for corporations). Still, why the fuck would you concede before a race is called? That's some dumb shit.

More than anything, I am relieved Krishnamoorhti is not our next Senator. We don't need some asshole who willingly meets with a fucker like Modi to potentially pull a Fetterman.

As an IL Voter, some thoughts...

Congrats to Raja Krishnamoorthi on his new position as guest contributor to the Chicago Tribune editorial board

Goddamn, I can remember that Andy Wood sneer on that line and nothing else from that song.

That buttrock-y production is a big part of the reason why I have no desire to listen to a lot of early 90s major label shit.

I was a grunge baby in the "I'm gonna meet [Insert Eddie Vedder or Chris Cornell depending on mood] when I'm a VJ at the MTV Beach House and marry him" way and, of course, had the MLB anthology. I haven't listened to it since maybe early college, but I remember the production being buttrock AF.

Been taking a bit of a break here, but hopping on to say "Go do the thing, IL voters!"
