Small problem, but it drives me insane.

We have a cheap HP printer (I know, not very millennial of me to have a printer). Got a cheap one because we use it once in a blue moon and it's just nice to have for those random moments you need it.

I swear, every few months when I use it, it needs black ink. These cartridges last about 5 pages.

Incredible photo from @chicago.suntimes.com ‘s Anthony Vazquez. Pointing what looks to be a teargas launcher at someone’s head at nearly point blank range is incredibly dangerous. This is why I prefer a ballistic helmet in the field.

Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd

The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago's East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents.

Go to Broadview. Stand with Protesters if you support them. Stop sending in your goons from the ISP to beat them.

51 is way too young. Hard to think of many artists who were as influential across genres in the past 30 years as D'Angelo. RIP.

Rolling Stone @rollingstone.com · 23h

D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51.

Luckily they have ranked choice voting, I think.

It’s been said but it bears repeating: in addition to the people being abducted, all Chicagoans are being psychologically terrorized. Seeing feds driving/walking around and videos of violent attacks in places you know and love will fuck you up. Get ready, it’s coming to all of America soon.

These guys are terrified of the numbers that are going to turn out on Saturday, and that's all the more reason to put down your "wine mom protest" objections and join them.

Who cares? God you act like you’re proclaiming how we turn water into wine. So you’re rooting for Bari Weiss. How daring! How bold! Such raw bravery! I bet you wear a hat that says “the NASDAQ” on it

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Listen to the response to this and look how easy it is to say it.

Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · 2d

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Now that we won, we can really enjoy this sicko mode performance from the Broncos defense.

Justin Anderson-Weber @jlweber.bsky.social · 2d

One thing is true about the Broncos: they can rush the damn passer.

Justice for Bolles

Aaron Schatz @aaronschatz.com · 2d

The penalty that caused a safety for the Broncos has been changed from Garett Bolles to Quinn Meinerz.

Offense really Peartin’

Joe Rowles @justjoro.bsky.social · 2d

The Broncos have 184 yards of offense against the worst defense in football.

Losing 11-10 to the Jets despite holding them to 76 yards through 3 quarters.

Justin Anderson-Weber @jlweber.bsky.social · 3d

Don’t care what they say. That’s a fumble.

Justin Anderson-Weber @jlweber.bsky.social · 3d

Wait, what? A run on 3rd and 10?
