I tried to make a Bruno Mars joke by putting 24lbs of carrots in my online grocery order and taking a screenshot but they wouldn't let me put that many carrots in my cart. I assume that's to preserve the spinal health of the order fulfillers.

I have quickly transitioned from "Plex is cool for stuff that isn't on iTunes!" to become "home server with a Linux VM on a Bulgarian VPN downloading usenet binaries" guy.

The Double Door is reopening… in an old vaudeville theatre in Uptown! https://chicago.eater.com/2018/12/3/18123660/double-door-to-reopen-in-uptown-music-club-former-wicker-park

One of these days I’m going to watch Empire and Chicago Fire on 5x speed so I can see my neighborhood all gussied up.

Good morning! Today I have this classic Chicago problem: I can’t use my building’s elevator because Chicago Fire is filming in our lobby.

The Boy Is Soft™️

Kalona Organic Classic Eggnog—heavy nutmeg flavor, not too thick. Maybe too much nutmeg??????

As a ten-year-old, I would see stickers and shirts at Hot Topic with an image of a 45 adapter on them and I thought it was a sex thing.

New Earl Sweatshirt = instant classic.
