Rogers Park and surrounding neighborhoods were hit hard by immigration enforcement activity over the weekend.

There's no competition here, but I want to name that the same heavy, violent, fast-moving abduction pattern has invaded the southwest side about three times a week for over a month now.

When you post about your cat a bunch of randos that don't follow you show up to like it and when you post about Napoleon that doesn't happen and that's what's wrong with Society

My stupid cat's favorite game is to cry till I do her wand toy, catch it, pull it just out of reach, and then cry until I get up and start doing it again.

Look at this idiot

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

As a teenager Napoleon hated the French, and was a Corisican Nationalist. His family had ties to Pasquale Paoli, who led a rebellion against the Genoese and then the French for Corisican freedom. He wrote essays about how the French were essentially imperialists subjugating Corsica

Napoleon's first language was Italian and he had a thick accent when he started military school as a child. His classmates mocked him by calling him "Paille-au-nez", meaning "straw-in-nose"
