All due to the number of delivery drivers falling from 9 to 3. Now there's 6. Unlike most of our other city's big problems, this one feels acutely solvable!

Hey guys, Perez Hilton performed self-harm and may have attempted a suicide on TikTok and screenshots are flying around, so if you are sensitive, go put "Perez Hilton" in your mutes right now.

Man I love Bluesky so much this thread is making me so hopeful I'm legit crying. We're gonna be fine we just need to quit letting awful people keep all their awful money. They didn't have a thing to do with all the positivity in this thread

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

I get a preventative medication for AIDS delivered to my door and I can openly speak about having gay sex. I'd say that's pretty rad. Most everything is better, we truly just need to tax rich people and large corporations more

Chicago friends, I have a journo request: I'm currently working on a story about physical media collecting. If you are someone who has a collection of vinyl records, VHS/DVDs/blu-rays, CDs, books, etc. - or you work at a place that sells them - I'd love to talk to you about it! Dms are open 🤠👍🏻

To all the late transitioners out there: Thank you for helping to normalize late-in-life transition. Your openness took away so much of my fear, allowing me to finally see my own transition as a valid and hopeful possibility.

Lake forever, lollapalooza damage for now

There was a big pile of fresh sod sitting here this morning. Nearly a MONTH after this festival, and the area is STILL wrecked. Lollapalooza wrecked Grant Park too. Really, REALLY tired of our "parks" being used as festival grounds.

Scott@skh80.bsky.social · last mo.

The entire area is trashed. One of the most popular views of the city. Trashed. Looked inside the fencing, all mud.
