Last night's dream: I was watching old episodes of Happy Days, including one about Fonzie's dating history titled "Ayyyyyy! Sluts!" Which seemed anachronistic, to say the least.

No private for-profit organization (let’s stop calling them “festivals,” which sounds fun for all and non-profit) should be able to use Chicago Park District parks, rendering them useless for their local communities. Kick the Bears out, move all these shitshows to Soldier Field and its parking lots.

While ICE agents were shooting Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin on Sunday, their colleagues were violently detaining a US citizen in Evanston, IL who "resembled" a person they were seeking. The victim reported "injuries to his head, neck and teeth":

some people replying and saying ed sheeran can’t take the same risks as an established legend like david byrne, but then you look at olivia rodrigo who is 12 years younger than sheeran and just organized an entire festival to support ABORTION. bravery has little to do with age/experience.

Two weeks until I put on my hard hat and build houses in Chicago. I'm still short of my fundraising goal and I know many of you got paid today. Can you share $40 to fight NIMBYs and help increase housing stock in the city?!?

I can't really see live music anymore (stupid migraines!) but I do love an acoustic in-store set. Mr. @themountaingoats.bsky.social played a whole bunch of deep cuts and signed records and it was just great!

Idea for a movie about an alternate timeline where nobody can remember that Ed Sheeran ever existed — well, except for this one single guy, who thinks he might remember having heard an Ed Sheeran song once, but he's not really sure "Edsterday"

Someone in my neighborhood has a damn Fiero and I have so many questions

White Pontiac Fiero with black trim (ca. 1986). It's in remarkably good shape except the retractable headlights are stuck in the ON position because of course they are. Why would anyone preserve such a silly car? I mean, why not just drive a vintage Yugo?
