Important enough that we've got to add a fifth star

I think the relative importance of the Columbian exposition and me moving here is up for debate but the last one is clearly an improvement

Chicago flag meaning graphic with the last two changed to "I move to Chicago in 2008" and "Ja'Mal Green's bus gets stuck"

Last two stars on the Chicago flag are kind of lame so I am proposing an update

Happy birthday Rome! According to Roman tradition, Romulus founded the city #OnThisDay in 753 BC.

Here's a mosaic of Romulus's early years being raised by a wolf (who had a great smile) #BeforeTheyWereFamous

Here's your taco Tuesday super Yooper sunrise from the northwest corner of Lake Michigan. #906Life #PureMichigan

we'd spend minutes at a time looking up one of a few dozen locations to find the kings name and maybe a weird little story

This is exciting because it's the earliest archeological evidence for the kind of guy that loudly takes contrarian takes for attention

"Oh you find the Catalog of the ships repetitive and boring? It's actually my favorite part of the Iliad, bury me with that shit"

I saw a lot of first-time 'e-bike smiles' at the weekend's @cyclingelectric.bsky.social Demo Day, but no bike nor trike delivered like vanRaam's Fun2Go - a specialist vehicle designed to be a 'social tandem'.

These are excellent tools for care projects.

This is just so cool. A Roman-era mummy recently excavated in Egypt contained a fragment of papyrus with a section of the Iliad.

John Denver lived in Minneapolis for a while.

John Minneapolis never lived in Denver.

Oh boy- that reminds me of when i was working for senator Reid. I had to pull a well known Senator aside to ask him not to use that word anymore. Trying to explain what it meant to was rough. I was embarrassed af. I found out what it meant when my staff showed me the definition on urban dictionary

Never actually been to an airport, if you can ahead and ask politely they'll pick you up at home on the way out of town

The moon landing was faked, as we all know. It was a Kubrick joint. They made a model of the moon's surface, a kind of diorama about as wide as a truck. They made a few of them, actually, for reshoots. That's why they also made multiple models of the so-called astronauts: a bunch of nine-inch Neils.

Unironically we need a tankie reboot where living in the Soviet Union kicks ass and America just looks worse and worse as the show goes on. We've had so much American propaganda why not a little Soviet propaganda?

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Mother Needs by Elena Zhang The children were coming, and she needed to be ready. Needed to build skin, layer by layer. Cushions of dermis so thick she could see the strata over time, like a canyon wall clock. She softened wrinkled leather into supple bruised peach peels. Salted her abscission. When they came, they came hungry. Stripped it all away. One bite at a time. Revealed orange sunsets, pink blushes. There was so little of her left, dripping sweetly and alone amongst many. In the end, she was glad. Now they would all see how raw she was underneath.
