I’m starting to wonder how much @chancetherapper loves Chicago when he’s allowed https://t.co/QYw053HiCD, a valuable archive of part of the city’s history (that supported his early years!) to go completely dark. I’m starting to worry he’s accidentally deleted the whole site.

Dear @chancetherapper, could you please either bring the @Chicagoist archives back online or let one of us take control of the site again and crowdfund whatever funds are needed to keep those archives live? Thanks, Chicago

https://t.co/QYw053HiCD has been down for well over a week, so I guess @chancetherapper has just given up on even maintaining the archives? Maybe he'd want to give it back to some of the original staff so we could crowdfund paying those server bills to keep it live?

Been holding out for a new @Apple iPhone a few years now, and was ready to make the jump to a newer model with iPhone 17 Pro—but of course they decide to not offer it in black! Guess I'll wait for the iPhone 16 Pro to be discounted and then I'll get a cheaper older model instead!

Dear @chancetherapper, it looks like @Chicagoist is down again. Is there anything you can do about that? 🙂

I reviewed the new movie about #Pavement, Alex Ross Perry's '#Pavements!' I took advantage of the unusual film to write a somewhat unusual review. We'll see if I was successful of not. 😁 Check it out! https://t.co/yIW8cKLb13

Well, I DID largely stop cartooning for newspapers in the mid-'90s, so... 😇😂
Newspaper cartoonist are all terrible and frankly it's staggering they're still employed in this day and age. Not one of them has produced a decent joke since the mid-1990s.

Farewell @Bitmoji, I loved your "drawn" cartoon avatar style for years, but the 3-D version you've forced on everyone is an abomination and zero fun to use. So, after a pretty long run, it's time for us to part ways. And trust me, in this instance, it's not me, it's you.

I still have my original card! I demand justice (and access) for old @daftpunk fans! 🤓
The repress of Discovery: Interstella 5555 Edition includes a new run of Daft Club Membership Cards. Fittingly, https://t.co/BrM2elCVXk is back online! It appears old cards do not work so you'll have to wait for your new card to arrive in order to enter!
