I feel like Sun Tzu really missed out on "Invent Pete Hegseth and give him to the enemy"

Plum Market would be nice but they couldn't make it in Old Town which is a denser hood than Boystown. There's a Fresh Market on Halsted just south of Lakeview so they'd probably want something a bit further away but who knows given how close the new Whole Foods will be to other Whole Foods.

'SWIMS' upside down is still 'SWIMS.'

Secretary of War Pete Hegs... 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately. X

If you are navy you'd be the absolute dumbest MF'er temporarily alive if you did not get the flu shot. 5k people on a aircraft carrier with nowhere to quarantine while running non-stop battle stations with some of the sailors unvaxxed is a flu virus's all inclusive dream cruise.

This should combine well with the aircraft carriers running low on food and not being able to do laundry without setting the ships on fire.

FYI for Chicago East Lakeview Mariano's customers: It appears their payment processing system is down.

Those private security forces were worse than useless. All I ever saw them do was stand around in groups of about 10 at Jackson chatting or scrolling on their phones.

Hi this joke is for me

What other grocer though? Mariano's is dying under Kroger management in Lakeview. Jewel already has two stores on Broadway and one in Southport. There are surrounding TJs and a nearby Aldi.

The fact that 37% of Americans would vote for Trump again, even after everything he’s done to date, is precisely the reason that Canada must turn away from the US. Our survival depends on it. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I am not sure where you are getting your European flights from but as in most things the European rights are much stronger. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Pas...

That's pretty cool enhancement!

Wilson's snipe bird with a long beak and brown, black and white feathers in flight against a green blurred field.

Holy cow. I got a Wilson's snipe in flight! They are so shy, and I didn't even see it until it took flight.

It's SF. Their AI will blow a silicon ligament right before they need to make a draft choice decision anyway.

Kookaburra’s seem to be getting earlier every day.

Birds in the news!

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

I'm starting to think that 40 years of electing governments based on how little they think the state should do, might be the cause of how little the state can do.

Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse

Yet leaving his WikiFeet score alone. Interesting selective pursuit of the truth.

If the Venezuelan election results were rigged then why is the VP of the party that rigged the election his Viceroy?
