Got a @Sling day pass to watch MNF while the @YouTubeTV, @Disney nonsense plays out. Resolution for the game straight up sucks, but the commercials are perfectly clear.

I stream just about every #Cubs games on @WatchMarquee and at some point every time the audio goes out of sync with the video. It’s maddening. And don’t get me started on not being able to fast forward if you pause…

Credit to the @USArmy for not forgetting about the families of soldiers who died nearly 3/4 of a century ago.

Tuesday, May 28, is National Burger Day. And while there is a “national (fill in the blank) day” for just about every food, hamburgers stand out as part of the fabric of this country and deserve to be celebrated. https://t.co/uhwQ94xMex

If you can get to Lombard, you should definitely try a #cicada infused #Malort short. Gonna be a while before you get another shot.

Relief could be in sight for a family that's almost got used to careening cars.

No offense, but I can't cook Mother's Day dinner for your mom/mother of your children; I have my hands full with my own. Go to one of these 102 restaurants.
