Man, just look at it. And look at the exact same striping pattern on the helmet, sleeves, pants, and socks. That is a dang football uniform.

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

Can't afford a car, public transit funding is getting nuked, and bosses refuse to let people work from home. Seems like a winning combination.

Dodgers can get 90+ wins playing the entire season on battery saver mode and then just blast through the playoffs. If I weren't a Giants fan I'd be in awe of it.

It's wild that when Trump talks about how they're getting rid of Democrat Programs and keeping Republican Programs he means "public health" and "Sicario Fantasy Camp: Chicagoland." Full polarization, to the point where anything aimed at keeping people alive or alleviating suffering is woke bullshit.

beyond parody

"The mounted patrol is an important tool for public safety — one that helps bridge the trust gap between residents, some of whom have a less than generous view of police, and the officers tasked with protecting our city. Kids feel safer around officers on horseback, the presence of the animal offering comfort and evoking calm. This highly visible, less intimidating police presence does exactly what we want law enforcement to do: work in cooperation with the community.

And these horses aren’t just steeds, they’re living memorials bearing the names of officers who’ve died in the line of duty — the entrance to each stall is adorned with a photo and a tribute to the officer. In 2023, a horse was named in honor of Officer Ella French, who was shot and killed while conducting a traffic stop in 2021.

Is Chicago really going to sell off Ella French’s horse?"

From the Editorial Board:

As Mayor Brandon Johnson prepares to give his budget address Thursday, one idea should get tossed aside: eliminating Chicago’s mounted police unit.

Editorial: Chicago budget should not cut mounted police nor sell off their horses

Is Chicago really going to sell off the horse named for Officer Ella French?

There's this fun nostalgic account on Twitter called "Chicago TV Guides" that also posts "on this week" music charts from WLS and this one from 1977 might be the most top-to-bottom dogshit week I've seen
