As Chance The Rapper comes home to Chicago tonight, he joined CTA in kicking off a historic partnership. Chance loves Chicago and CTA. We look forward to doing big things with him in the future.

I would say "you'd have to try with all your might to park this scooter like *more* of an asshole," except that it WAS parked somehow even more across the sidewalk than this and I started to lug it off to the side and a loud scooter theft alarm began blaring and did not stop

a Lime scooter parked right in the middle of the sidewalk as if other pedestrians, strollers, wheelchairs, and mail carts do not exist

Yesterday I rode the 81 Eastbound, the Brown Line north from Irving Park, the 81 Eastbound again, the Red Line south from Wilson, the 147 North from downtown, the 92 Westbound, and the Brown Line north from Irving again. Today I might mix things up with the 9 or 78 too. Ride the CTA; live more fully

I saw two people recognize each other on the Brown Line and I almost cried

Incredible!! Usually the gangway path wouldn't branch off the main walkway so early. But I don't know, front yards are weird

You never see a gangway connector path like this. Must have been a consistent issue

I actually don't remember that, but I *do* remember watching MASTER OF NONE for a while before growing disillusioned with the decision to cast oneself in a show whose premise is "what if there were a relentlessly charming and universally loved protagonist"

Me when comedians say into a microphone that they performed at the Riyadh Comedy Festival in order to bring laughter and joy to the everyday people of Riyadh

The local running shoe store just emailed me their holiday gift guide. I bet the hot gift this year is running shoes

Sorry but if the ice cream truck drives by playing its music the second week of October, I'm going to assume it's being piloted by a clown who wants me dead

"true! and yet," the cretic of our age

the Mountain Goats @themountaingoats.bsky.social · 7d

there are few things that seem more in need of a good, hard re-think than this inevitability myth. this erasure of the element of choice that's always present in the use of any technology. not buying in can make life harder, can force a more intentional daily grind: true! and yet.

I like ordering tuna from a company whose shipping box advertises its tuna because it is highly unlikely that such a package will be stolen

I can't determine whether this is the year that Benicio Del Toro finally convinced Hollywood that he's very funny or if Hollywood finally convinced Benicio Del Toro that he's very funny, but either way, we're feasting

Ever since reading this @albertburneko.bsky.social paragraph a while back, I find myself thinking about it, encountering unwelcome exemplars of it, far more often than I wish.

Text of a screenshot from a piece at Defector by Albert Burneko, titled "Toward A Theory Of Kevin Roose": "My suspicion, my awful awful newfound theory, is that there are people with a sincere and even kind of innocent belief that we are all just picking winners, in everything: that ideology, advocacy, analysis, criticism, affinity, even taste and style and association are essentially predictions. That what a person tries to do, the essential task of a person, is to identify who and what is going to come out on top, and align with it. The rest—what you say, what you do—is just enacting your pick and working in service to it."
