A big part of car brain is simply an inability to imagine a world where we are not ruled by steel boxes on wheels. Auto propaganda has so thoroughly warped people's minds that they can't conceive of anything beyond the status quo. And when you question it, they treat you as the unhinged one.
Lightning????
Ohhhh yeah
Just north of the blue windmill sculpture looking south with the concrete walkway in the foreground, the lake off to the left and the city looking small in the background partially obscured by trees
Lake forever, problems for now
Tegan and I saw a man parked in the bike lane on Clark just south of Division (literally always blocked) sitting in the driver's seat playing a trumpet. It's cool I'm sure he'll be just a minute 👍
In all seriousness the folks walking on the LFT with their DOGS in the bike lane need to have their pets rehomed because what the actual fuck man.
Glad I could be a part of so many people's first time using the lake front trail, or perhaps first day on earth, tonight 🥰
Days like today make me really wish I had national secrets that could be revealed via Strava
Have you ever seen a PSA telling drivers to make eye contact with pedestrians and not assume that pedestrians are stopping for them?
When I was like 10 I remember my dad made a smiley face on a burger with ketchup and I felt a pang of sadness at the thought of squishing the face with the bun. I feel like this is the same place a lot of people are operating from when they see a delivery bot with cartoon eyes. I get it but bffr.
This says "ai's beef" in case anyone was wondering.
I had a dream that my mom made a bluesky account specifically to replyguy me. Thankfully neither of my parents are actually interested in my posting 🙏
Shockingly a line for Mr Beef in Chicago this morning
If you're in line for Mr Beef STAY IN LINE!
Chicago is full. Of people that are cool & kind.
One of my favorite Instagram features is seeing who viewed the first card in my IG story and then was like "Ugh not this dumbass again, next!"
It's getting to a point where I'm actually starting to think Zohran Mamdani might be a bad mayor. Like I keep seeing so many photos of him doing stuff that I'm getting suspicious. Maybe he's actually the evil mayor and he just pumps out ai generated images of himself? How can he do so many things?
Melty building
You just don't see that many buildings that look like they're melting
Red stamp on the back of my hand. It's a circle around the number 21.
Honestly embarrassing for the bouncer, off by a decade
Having a hard time figuring out what song this is, does anyone know the name of it or even the artist?
Drunk Shakespeare was fun in the sense that I got to hear Tegan explain to her mom what a Fleshlight is mid-show. Really wish the seating was a tad more comfortable though, my ass was genuinely suffering.
The average age in the loop was WAY up today. And that's a good thing, I'm glad the boomers are fired up.
2/3 shows attended...doors for Jigitz at 10 🤪 We've been to Project Hail Mary and Drunk Shakespeare today, next up Jigitz!
I guess this is the "Ried Murdoch building"? Had to look it up but it's lit up blue and orange, I'm assuming for the illini game
ILL

Unfortunately the people are marching to dethrone people like me today :/
Going to the gym pre-stinky. I'm sorry or you're welcome I guess.
"Large tree falls on cars" headline running on a big screen behind Chicago critical mass gathering
Large tree falls on cars
Gas prices are soaring, but people interested in biking don't know where to start. What type of bike do I get for kids? Cargo? Commuting?
Today, we're launching a site for just that - Find The Right Bike!
In just four questions, we'll tell you the bike you need and how much money it'll save you 🧵
A livery driver in one of those enormous black tanks blew two stop signs and swerved around another moving car on Franklin to call me the f slur on my way to critical mass tonight 🌈🚲🙌
