Took this picture while waiting for my train yesterday morning. A reminder that we are only here for a tiny blip of time in this universe. Enjoy it while you're here.

The ghosts of the Gilded Age are even like; "Whoa, that's a lot! A bit, uhm no, that is definitely a gaudy piece of offal right there."

Wednesday weirdness. Turned on TCM and I see this barechested guy leading a band of Indians. I thought, why is he the only one not wearing a shirt? Then it hit me,"That's Bill Shatner, of course!" "White Comanche", 1967, which I had never seen before.

No cats, but Blaise is eyeballing that blueberry muffin with a fierce desire.

"We will be greeted warmly as liberators." that's what the Bush administration said about Iraq. No real thought was given to the day after liberation and the problems of occupation. The Trump crew should read this book. But we know they won't.

Saw this on my walk to work. Looked like semis of equipment being delivered for The Cadillac Theater. Probably for the Lion King. Not a Delorean. #Chicago

Speaking of ICE, maybe you can do something with this?

Christopher Fischer @christopherfischer.bsky.social · 30/09/2025
Catching up on local news this morning. I wonder if ICE had to opt for extra rental insurance coverage to get that truck. "Acts of malice" or something. #Chicago

Following up on my commute back to downtown Chicago this week. I survived the menace of landscaping and broadway theater. Mostly, everything was business as usual. I'm not making light of crime in the city, it does happen. But a military occupation is not the solution. #notahellhole
