This is so messed up.
This is so messed up.
Just thinking again about how there are currently three successful โliving in a large underground bunker post-apocalypseโ shows (Silo, Fallout, Paradise) and what that says about American culture.
A photo of the Chicago skyline at night with a tangle of bright lighting lignite gap the night sky during a thunderstorm
Boom! Had a great ight show over the skyline tonight. Hereโs my first big lightning shot of the season.
This is a 2-frame composite. Best as I can tell, two large, branching bolts struck the eastern antenna mast of the Hancock. #wxsky #ilwx
Much different than Dire Straits but beautiful. Needed this for our Sunday morning...

Gmail inbox with an email from Home Depot with the subject line โWe Saw You Looking ๐โ
Companies need to stop being creepy like this. It doesnโt make me want to buy the thing I was looking at. It makes me want to never shop at that store again.
NEW โWeโre celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You canโt keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, itโs ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.โ
Somehow this didnโt post this morning. Happy 189th birthday to Chicago.
Imagine deciding to use the well-known Borg catchphrase โresistance is futileโ and thinking itโs a good thing.
One easy way to tell that our technology isnโt โintelligentโ: my iPhone just made a video for me called โTrips to Chicagoโ even though Iโve lived here for a years and Iโm sure this phone has collected enough (way too much) personal location data for that to be obvious.
Email that thanks me for purchasing a *lot* of batteries and asks if I want to purchase additional massive amounts of batteries
โYou just bought a 36-pack of batteries. Have you considered buying more batteries from us?โ
I just bought them! In large quantities so I donโt have to buy them again for a very long time! Why does any company think this type of email is a good idea?

Mayor Brandon Johnson announced โAbolish ICEโ as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a โfull and completeโ endorsement.
As far as Iโm concerned, this just continues to prove that DHS doesnโt care about safety and security. It only cares about punishing people to demonstrate the administrationโs power.
Figure skater with arms up and caption that reads โI hear your stinky butt. I raise you an arm.โ

This Spain soccer-themed figure skating performance was so fun!!! youtu.be/_ZNB8mYW93o?...

Why the hell are they doing this when they had a data breach of 70,000 user government IDs just a few months ago?
Every AI ad is so enthusiastic about the creepiest things. No, I donโt want you to use mass surveillance every time someone says they lost a pet.
Just tried to watch a 2022 โHulu originalโ movie that is apparently not available on Hulu. Whatโs the point of these streamers if they donโt even host their own movies?
Peaking in Pink. This morning's sunrise in Chicago.
Comic. [Person talking to person with black hat.] PERSON 1: Historically, it refers to a ceremony to predict the weather using a rodent. But nowadays people often use it to mean โa time loop experienced by one person.โ PERSON 2: โฆWhat. [caption] Easily our weirdest holiday.

Such a great, funny actress. This is sad news.
Iโm going to stay off social media for a while because I donโt need to see another video of someone being murdered. ICE/Border Patrol are a government-funded terrorist organization. The main priority of anyone in power right now should be to do whatever they can to stop them.
Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE.
