the time to make all of Illinois into Chicago is now

fuck US Highway 14 Ronald Reagan Highway all my homies hate US Highway 14 Ronald Reagan Highway

nothing beyond "it makes sense and they should" since that's the topmost part of Broadway before it shifts to IDOT control, where cyclists are shot on sight

if something is really important to you then don’t use generative AI for it at all. my opinion

will double my purchase of paper straws hashtag im helping

me as a 15 year old definitely wanting to give rapturous attention to taxes

Rahm could switch to have the exact same opinions on me on every single topic and I wouldn’t vote for him because he covered up a murder.

I am old enough to remember them closing their much-lauded Englewood location, which had been supported by over $10million in TIF money

multiple people I know/knew who were like "actually, I love being by myself!" really rubbed me the wrong way. like *that* was your takeaway at the time? (incredible amount of bonus points for when "alone" included the people they lived with)

deeply appreciate Adrianne Lenker’s live album that released on Record Store Day hanging out at Rattleback waiting for me to show up the day after, this day will be good yet

now thinking about what other Skokies Swift would be viable. Schaumburg to Rosemont Blue etc etc

Happy birthday Skokie Swift, a successful pilot project we’ve never attempted to replicate since

I need to be pro-bike infra enough to get this follow 😔

bike put on 7-day DL (rear wheel replacement) 🥲🥲🥲

A level of whimsy to strive for

do you have your subsequent “why is it taking even longer to finish construction season” opinion bit already written

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

? what trains run there

It makes me feel a little smug that developers in big fancy pants 37-lane freeway dependent Silicon Valley tech companies can’t fully defeat the juggernaut that is “some of the trains in Chicago go in a circle this way and some go this way and one skims the circle and they just call it The Loop”

In addition to being hideous, the proliferation of annual wag jackets is the perfect embodiment of the disposable fast fashion overconsumption disease that’s all over sports. We don’t need a new tshirt for every little thing that happens! Teams giving away 20,000 poorly made XXL tshirts is gross!

hmmmmm I wouldn't

All hail the King
The King of Montrose!

must be what downtown Nashville is like (will conduct no further research into this)

home →︎︎ corner store →︎︎ pizza →︎︎ couch

Tesla Chicago Gold Coast Permanently closed

Hang it in the Louvre

we were given the gift of vision with half an hour to go thanks United

so they’re going to just keep us in the dark until we land I guess? I hate this so much

ORD →︎︎ FRA evening into the night: controls were left functional full flight, but also it was night

FRA →︎︎ ORD as soon as we cleared Ireland they said well we’re turning all the lights off and dimming all windows for comfort now so go to bed at 3pm I guess 😃

still night on this plane

that most people probably prefer flying like this is bothering me on a idk humanity kind of level. just get me on the ground

beautiful ice flows off of the Newfoundland coast and landscapes of course that I can barely make out of this tomb of a window. why would I want to look or even take photos. I will do anything I can to never fly a plane with dimming windows again fuck this
