Chicago cat geezer. Tea fanatic. What the advertising industry dubs "GenX." Gray ace. Neurodivergent. Neither proud nor ashamed of that. Frequently it's hard. But I do my best.

Here's video of Paxton and his girlfriend watching fireworks at a party in Dubai with 2 fugitives from the U.S. who fled federal healthcare fraud charges. Anosh Ahmed, one of the fugitives, had donated $190,000 to Paxton.

ProPublica designed a reporting experiment to demonstrate how easy it can be to open private schools that might then access public money. We succeeded in opening two schools. No credentials or background checks required.

I wish the majority of Italian-Americans in Chicago believed this. chicago.suntimes.com/other-views/...

As a proud Italian American, I can't get behind the Christopher Columbus adoration
Continuing to elevate Columbus as some kind of antithesis to “The Godfather” stereotype is a big bunch of gabagool.

I'm surprised he didn't call it "Super Duper Intelligence" or "Trumptelligence."

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

Seeing Spirited Away on the big screen, to me, is the equal of seeing The Wizard of Oz in the theater when I was younger. Both have some serious scary scenes for wee ones, but my goodness was I in awe.

Here in Chicago, the Art Institute has some amazing works, but people flock to American Gothic like bees to a Coca-Cola can.

There are quite a few differences between Alberta in the 2020s and Austria in the 1930s, but not enough.

This is shameful. Chicago people, if your Alder didn't show up, consider expressing displeasure to them. Council Hearing On City Domestic Violence Program Canceled After Not Enough Alders Show Up blockclubchicago.org/2026/10/01/c...

Council Hearing On City Domestic Violence Program Canceled After Not Enough Alders Show Up
Only eight alderpeople showed up to a hearing Thursday about the city's victim services program, one short of the number needed for a quorum. One survivor called the cancellation a "travesty."

I admit to being torn tbh. It's one of those "I wish I could talk to that producer/director/actors" things. And given the state of AI-generated video right now, I agree the results would not look good. But the idea of seeing Lon Cheney's debut (Poor Jake's Demise) in its entirety... it's tempting.

I understand - and even support - AI being used to restore lost scenes. I could even understand (although be *very* wary of) restoring entire lost silent films using AI. However, pulling dead actors out of "permanent retirement" to hawk product is repugnant. I don't care who has permission.

Way too many Democrats in power genuinely believe that the old rhetoric will work as well as it always did. That's the most naïve of fantasies, and a dangerous one, too.

I'm guessing their future in the tech and/or financial sector is now secure, and at least two will be nominated for plum positions in a Trump Jr. administration.

I just heard about this song a couple days ago. Not the actual song, mind you - the "controversy" about not knowing the song. I'm not sure if I've gained cultural cachet from being middle-aged and not paying attention to music that is not marketed to me.

So we meet again, Señor Blep. Did I interrupt your bath? #Caturday #cat
Momo is a sweet cat, and his bleps are fantastic. I caught him during a grooming session.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Elon Musk has most likely proliferated the most child pornography of all time. No punishment is too severe for him.

I have found that, when I go on solo road trips, it's cheaper (and usually quicker) to take Amtrak to a smaller city and rent a car there to continue my trip. Champaign, Galesburg, and Kalamazoo have been pleasant stops on my journeys.

Gorgeous. I wonder if these were one of those remotes control systems that changed the channel if you rattled your keys? Because companies need to bring those back.
