I agree with this message but jfc
so the prosecutor essentially argued swastikas are pro-trump.
This picture is the epitome of "all hat, no cattle" except you can smell the bullshit all the way over here
Luv how quickly Southwest has enshittified and gotten rid of everything that made them my go-to airline

"Cars are the most absurd means of transport in a city. They are parked 95 per cent of the time. It takes two tonnes to move someone who weighs 70 kilogrammes. And the denser the city, the more absurd it is."

Do other bike share employees block the bike lane regularly or is it just Chicago's @divvybikes.bsky.social ?
The illustrated police news July 1, 1899 An illustration of a lady in a big hat and dress clocking a man in the jaw while onlookers rush towards them on a country lane. Her bicycle is on the ground in the foreground. THRASHED BY A LADY CYCLIST. WHO IS NOTED FOR HER ATHLETIC POWERS. An extraordinary scene was witnessed on Saturday morning in Peel Lane, a thorough- fare connecting Little Hulton with Tyldesley, in which the principal participants were a young lady cyclist and a youth of nineteen or twenty. The lady was riding at a good pace, and when in a quiet part of the road the young man, who had apparently been imbibing, stepped into the roadway, and, addressing some insulting remarks to the cyclist, made as if he intended pulling her off the machine. She immediately alighted, caught hold of the astonished youth, and gave him a sound thrashing, using her fists in scientific fashion, to the delight of several colliers who were passing. The young man made off, and the cyclist, who is believed to be a Bolton Lady noted for her athletic powers, rode off towards Tydesley.
My favorite old timey bicycle lady story popped up on my feed.

Waited over 20 minutes in the rain for a 22 bus and before we get to the next stop the driver says they have to take a personal and gets off the bus. Fuck @chicagocta.bsky.social so much

I've got to be honest, my friends, I have to work this morning but it is hard to understand how to go about normal life when my home country is rampaging out of control like a drunken abuser
I've seen more crashes in the last year or two around Chicago than I had in the preceding decade.
It's the pandemic, it's phones, it's touchscreens, it's the lack of enforcing traffic laws, it's just a general callousness and lack of any kind of sense of responsibility to your community...
Good enough reason to post this from the other day!
Screenshot of Monica's post on my Bluesky timeline, immediately followed by @isctaokay.bsky.social posting "π€¬CTA Rail is having a terrible day. 72% of scheduled trains operated on Mar 6th as of 6pm. 42% arrived at their scheduled intervals. Schedules are increased 0% from pre-pandemic schedules."
*chef's kiss*
Does anyone know what's going on with 1045 N Rush Street? They had plans to build a new building back in 21 (after the Alder made them remove 4 of 5 planned resident units, of course.) I've been staring at an abandoned building everytime I eat dinner across the street and I'm sick of it!
I think of this skeet by @juliusgoat.bsky.social every day
Democrats support the war they absolutely will not impeach him
Fuck cars.
You should NEVER get within a couple feet of a pedestrian when we're in a crosswalk.
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
The Chicago Stock Exchange itself should never have been demolished. This exquisite room is one of the few vestiges of it that remain, & it is absolutely outrageous that it should be endangered again.
