sometimes i forget there are non-gay ppl on this thing

Sometimes I get a little annoyed with bus drivers but like every CTA operator is at risk for this kind of violence and it's not fair to them

Chicago Sun-Times@chicago.suntimes.com · 3mo ago

A Chicago man was charged with kidnapping a CTA bus driver at knifepoint during an attack that began in Logan Square and ended on the Near North Side early Wednesday.

Especially when Mayor Pete himself has said he wished he weren't gay and claimed that was a common gay experience. Sorry Petey buddy, but I love being gay.

i don't think we need to do "everyone who disliked mayor pete is a homophobe" discourse. i don't think that's true

This is what the Supreme Court calls “race neutral.”

Can't fix racist maps because the election is only a year away, but you can stop an election after voting starts to make the maps more racist. Good thing racism is over. 🤬

I'm an elite? 🥹👉👈

Julian Sanchez@normative.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Ditto “elite,” which is how you get millionaires with national television shows railing against “elites,” by which they mean adjunct sociology faculty and the dozen print journalists still employed.

Stop acting like this Fucking stop it

I'm gonna scream at the next person who says the Democrats and Republicans are the same.

Absolutely failure on the part of the Chicago Park District to create safe green spaces. Why can’t we have any spaces in this city that aren’t totally thinner and overrun by cars? @betterstreetschicago.org @bikegridnow.org

The guillotine is too kind an option people like this

There was a time when the ultra-wealthy in this country at least pretended to acknowledge their privilege and their luck. It helped fuel a sense of civil obligation. These days, however: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/n...

This is one of the problems with the term "hallucinate"; it implies an error on the part of the LLM. But it's not an error, the LLM is working as intended. It is not an information machine, it is a language machine.

Karl Bode@karlbode.com · 3mo ago

"Never hallucinate or make anything up." yes, you can just demand that the LLM not make errors that's definitely how the technology works

These long Mondays are kicking my butt and yet here I am wondering if I can do this class again next spring

If the golden mushroom has one hater, it's me. If the golden mushroom has no haters, I am dead

Fireworks going off in our neighborhood and the only options we could think were: a) early Cinco de Mayo celebration, or b) he died

Cornell, like most of its Ivy peers, lacks any moral compass so this president will probably hang around until they decide it's too big a debacle

Dan Hirschman@asociologist.bsky.social · 3mo ago

“Video footage obtained by The Sun shows Students for a Democratic Cornell members Aiden Vallecillo ’26 and Hudson Athas ’27 being struck by the car. In the video, no person can be seen touching the vehicle before it drove into Vallecillo and Athas.” www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

I agreed to go with my parents to a show next week and jesus fuck how many fucking white boy stories do we need to shovel into middle America every year and call them masterpieces

The "clean" dog whistle stings. We know what you mean

I have been publishing YA novels for 20 years. I have seen a lot of nonsense written about the category, but this HarperCollins imprint has set a new bar. If anything is “cynical” or tailored for “shock value,” it’s this campaign, which might as well be from Moms for Liberty. This is loathsome.

If someone I had sex with spoke about my body this way to the entire internet, I would block them on every platform and instruct my family and friends to do the same

My worst gay opinion: The Devil Wears Prada is massively overrated by the gay community. 1) There are no openly queer actors in major roles. 2) It's not about queer people. It's about ✨girlbosses✨ and that's apparently all y'all need. Too many of y'all eat whatever slop Hollywood throws at you.

Sorry, we can't impeach the president or stop voting for his corrupt gang of white supremacist appointees. (Wouldn't work.) Instead, we are targeting a specific Twitch streamer. (Major priority, worth the effort.) We decided to do this on our own volition by the way. (Don't ask about Israel, lol.)

I have spent my entire career listening to FedSoc types complain about liberal “activist judges” who “legislate from the bench,” and none of them are going to say a single blessed thing about Sam Alito rewriting the Voting Rights Act to say what he thinks Congress ought to have said

Six Conservative Activists Killed the Voting Rights Act

The Supreme Court's conservatives have spent their careers working to kill the Voting Rights Act. They just did it.

Baseball game is delayed, SIL's baby is a couple days overdue, can SOMETHING happen please I can only sit around drinking so many cups of coffee

Headlines saying this Supreme Court decision "curtails the use of race" in voting are going to make me have a stroke. It empowers white supremacy. It does not curtail the use of race.

I agree with President Warren G. Harding on this matter

More video games should have spin-offs where their characters race go-karts

Dalton Rushing wants to be the least liked guy in baseball so bad

The murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, along with the attempted murder of John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette barely lasted a news cycle. The attempted arson of Josh Shapiro's house didn't break through at all. Compare that to the coverage of charlie kirk.
