@BoneJail @realJackEason As a Chicagoan, I LOVE Milwaukee. 😁

@BoneJail @hello__caitlin Sadly, that was the night we entered the darkest timeline.

@gturner It was a great series, but I never understood why they invited confusion with the movies by choosing that name, when they had nothing in common. I think it's why the TV series never found more of an audience.

@WendellPierce Since the courts have already ruled that $ equals speech, how is this not a 1st amendment violation?

Probably the biggest musical figure in my life. WTF.

Nearly 20 years ago, I got my custom seafoam green Carvin bass (as seen in my profile photo.) Today, I'm giving it a lobotomy in anticipation of the first Lusties show in 15 years! 2/17 at Live Wire, Chicago!

Today I was laid off from @io9/@Gizmodo as part of a 23-person editorial restructuring. I leave behind work that was globally read, award-winning, deeply reported, & sometimes goofy despite the horrors.

I deserved better than this and G/O Media will be poorer for letting me go.

@gturner Tell that to Gandalf.

@SplitSingleband @ACNewman @matthewbarnhart It really is, though. I'll play "Use It" multiple times in a row without any regret.

@Templesmith Jesus, that thing gave me nightmares when I was a kid...

that dude limited views on a website he's trying to sell advertisements on. don't ever tell me he's a business genius ever again.

AI content will not replace my work-but it will devalue it, place undue burden on editors, destroy the credibility of my outlet, and further frustrate our audience. AI in any form, only undermines our mission, demoralizes our reporters, and degrades our audience's trust.

@tallblackguy Pretty sure Lakeview looks far scarier after most weekend Cubs games.
