Enjoyed seeing this at a local gas station.

A photo of an ice vending machine at a gas station. Above the word “ice” the word “resist” has been added in a font resembling the other text. The word “resist” is embellished with graphics to look as if it has snow accumulating on the letters. Stylistically the added word blends with the original graphics so that this will be easy to overlook.

For those of you who read the New York Times, “terse, vague or rosy” would appear to be their euphemism for “misleading or outright false.”

Red Line Chicago Transit train is as packed as any weekday rush hour. My assessment is that the vast majority of these folks are on the way to the anti-ICE rally downtown. I’m proud to be doing that myself. I hope our actions can preserve our right to peaceable protest in the U.S.A.

I think it’s a #GoodOmen when you’re having coffee with your partner and the barista’s heart-shaped latté art lasts through your entire drink.

A clear glass on a wooden countertop, viewed from three-quarters above. In the glass is the foam remaining after drinking an entire cafe latté; the heart-shaped white foam on the background of tan foam is still visible.
