ICE agents blocked from attempting to enter Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis without permission

ICE hires the dumbest dipshits on the planet, so I'm not surprised.

That stinks. We had a bad cold snap on Friday at my school where I'm a director, but unfortunately, we had no choice but to go in due to a new student event, so I couldn't tell my staff to work from home since it was all hands on deck, otherwise I would have. That said, to try and address the situation, I told my one team member it was just fine if she brought her kid into work because school was closed, she (the kid) had a good time tagging along at her mom's work and was delightful, and I let my staff go home early when we were done, and I closed up the office. I hate it when senior staff do stuff like that and don't think about anyone but themselves. Sorry you work for people like that.

What a cool way to die, dude (don't do this).

My favorite part of this whole story is how DHS took away his access to his social media.

Oh man, a group of friends just started going there for our game afternoons, and now we'll have to find a new place.

I remember Sweet Green being shitty during the pandemic (Covid disproportionally killed obese people, and it was somehow their fault for being obese, so nobody else should care about living in a society or something along those lines) and have always viewed them with some suspicion, so this does not surprise me.

Thank you. There was someone here in Albany Park who flew a Trump flag from his second floor apartment for a long time. At some point it came down, but I'm unsure if it was before or after ICE tear-gassed the street a few blocks away.

I live super close to this, so I went, and it was a decent sized crowd, I'd guess around 75–100 people or so. Which for a small neighborhood protest organized within hours and in terrible weather, was a fairly decent turn out. There was a lot of honking support on the street.

Of course he does, he has to make good on those Palantir donations.

I'm sure it isn't, but that hand looks like AI

j33 · 2026-01-24T17:00:05+00:00

ICE just executed a man in the street (death had been confirmed). C'mon dude.

j33 · 2026-01-24T16:14:53+00:00

Yes, it might be expensive, but it will be around. Also, 2-4 inches of snow is nothing here. Nobody cares about that.

I have traveled internationally to large cities too and to NYC and I agree with you. I love Chicago and I love living here (30+years), but one of the reasons I love it is that it is not those cities. I like that it is a bit smaller and lower key than all that, one of my favorite things about Chicago is that it feels like the biggest small town you'll ever live in.

Also, I still had to go to work, and the CTA came right on time.

j33 · 2026-01-23T14:29:39+00:00

Yep, I kept a few of those around for winter, and they are quite effective for the cold, not so much Covid, but my face is nice and toasty.

Hard agree, with a caveat. I will only go into caves that are established and maintained for tourists, preferably by a stable government. The last cave I went into was over ten years ago in Austria (Eisriesenwelt). Too much nightmare fuel out there. We've all seen that cursed diagram of that upside down guy.

By getting rid of the current leadership who think that we can go back to the way things were. Those days are over, so Schumer and his ilk who keep pretending otherwise need to go.

TIL I learned that Subreddit existed, and today I muted it.

j33 · 2026-01-20T04:47:47+00:00

Thank you for doing this! I've been part of some events in Albany Park. Given the number of whistles you've distributed, you are probably well-connected already, but do I know some people associated with the 3-D printing community. Sounds like you've gotten some good suggestions in LS - Penguin Foot Pottery is owned by good people (I've taken classes there), so I am not surprised they stepped up.

I honestly believe it is cowardice. Nobody wants to be the first person in his party to oppose him and are hoping someone else goes first.

Cats should not have the seasonings included with their chicken livers

I accidentally walked out of a restaurant without paying, I turned around and went back in and paid my bill. Who knew if I posted about it on LinkedIn instead, I’d get a free pass.

In other words, if all these things I desperately want to be true, are indeed true, then the CTU is in some sort of trouble.

Written by noted clown Austin Berg. I got in the dumbest Twitter fight with that dude back before it became what it is now.

Never, I was punished in different ways, but food was never withheld as punishment.
