Ahaha. Long day at work being solved by the best snack in the world. Sometimes I remember this exists and suddenly I've eaten a whole sleeve before I can blink

This is definitely intriguing... Next time I have some Town House around I will try

Take a saltine. Put butter on it. Eat the buttered saltine. Repeat about 37 more times and you'll feel better, probably

They don’t see themselves as enforcing immigration laws. They see themselves as deciding who gets to be American

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

It is interesting how routinely comedians whose entire comedy style is just being an asshole are also revealed to be, on a day-to-day basis, assholes

RIP Tony Fitzpatrick. Taught me so much about what it means to love a place so much that you become one with it. A truly singular Chicago artist.

A vibrant collage by Tony Fitzpatrick features a peregrine falcon with architectural elements and bold text related to Chicago.

This is so real. A few of my Asian-American friends from college used to do this as they led me around to good restaurants. They were like "as long as the yelp review says the food was good but the service was terrible you're in the clear"

Annie who lives here @stellarine.bsky.social · 4d

AHAHAHA i've never considered that angle but that's absolutely a real thing to fear

Recently got thai food on a whim with a friend and they picked the one which was rated .1 stars higher than the other even though it was a longer walk

Surprising number of my friends care about the average star rating a restaurant has on Google. I don't think I even notice that when I look a place up. When I asked them if they've ever rated a place on Google themselves they said no

Thinking of the straight men in my life who own a lot of Alien memorabilia and don't, won't even consider owning this. Even though it's the best. Also kind of want a replica skirt/bodice like this for myself

Everything is terrible but look at this Monster High Skullector Alien doll they're releasing. This is exactly what H.R. Giger would've wanted

Hello I asked Emmi for her official PhD opinions and here are some additional recs: "More recs for choux (that I have not yet read) are Homo Ludens by Huizinga and Man, Play and Games by Callois... Also a straight up textbook by Katie Salen Tekinbaş and Eric Zimmerman called Rules of Play"

There's a window of time every day where life becomes unbearable bc the sun comes through the window in the office at the exact angle to make me feel like an ant under a magnifying glass on a summer afternoon. This window is 4:15pm-4:30pm roughly

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.
