Javier Bardem says in #Cannes that genocide being committed in Gaza "is a fact." "You can fight against, you can try to justify it... it is a fact. If you justify it with your silence or your support, you are pro-genocide. Those are facts for me." variety.com/2026/film/fest…

@MVZaGoGo Basic rule of life- if I see a line, I cross the street to avoid it.

A new nightmare plaguing NYC ! Lines everywhere. This person’s tweet is very funny though.

there needs to be a sociological study on why transplants love to wait in line. it's obviously not that the reward is worth it. you could open a store where you wait in line for 2 hours to get slapped in the face and 5,000 former Ohioans would show up the first day.

I was recently in a Phase One Clinical Trial for a novel cancer drug. It left me deaf. Oops. After several treatments my right ear mostly returned but not my left. I took a $250 chance on a pair of Apple AirPod 3 Pro's. They are FDA approved hearing aids. WOW. Immediate improvement in hearing and quality of life- for $250! I will eventually want to invest in more expensive hearing aids but these will always be part of my daily routine. Many thanks @Apple @tim_cook for making a cancer patient's life and millions of other's- just a little better. For 250 bucks. A little can mean a lot.

What's the one Chicagoland Restaurant that you always wish you could still go to? Is there one you went to as a kid, and now you have your own kids, that you think they would have loved going to? Our personal favorites just to name a few? • KOW KOW (Pratt & Cicero) • The Signature Room (John Hancock) • The Parthenon (Greek Town) • Mattson's (Over By There) • John's Garage (IYKYK) • Don Roth's (Spinning Salad Bowl) • Max's Italian Beef (On Western) There. Just listed some bangers. Make @chicago_history proud & try to remember some forgotten favorites that don't quite get the recognition that they truly deserve. #ChicagoHistory ☑️

@JonahDispatch Everything is physics. Chemistry is just physics that has slowed down and Biology is just Chemistry that's gotten comfortable. It all takes a while, but it gets there in the end.

At the end of the day, isn’t everything powered by physics?

Time’s up, and nobody has won the packet of screws.
The correct answer was ‘Flemish single-manual harpsichord after Ruckers’.
Useless, the lot of you.

Here’s a slightly wanky view of my new woodworking project. A free packet of screws to the first person to guess what it is.

@kurt13warner Stop getting older. I found if I knocked about 10 years off the inflammation cleared pretty quickly.

Need some help! I’m in the best shape of my life… I’m as lean as I’ve ever been… but I have some inflammation around my knees that’s driving me crazy & no matter what I’ve tried: diet, vitamins/supplements or exercise, I can’t shake it!
Any experts out there that have some ideas to help???

Like many, I followed Pete for many years. Unlike many, I did so because we were fellow travelers on the same path- Castrate Resistant Metastatic Prostate Cancer. He was never shy about sharing his health status- right up to the end. More courage than I possess. Men: in honor and respect of Pete and what he went through, get your PSA's checked! It is a simple blood test that could save your life. His journey may be over, but his story could help save many lives. May his memory be a blessing. @vanishedchicago @ZEROCancer

This Afternoon, Chicago lost a real hometown legend. Pete Kastanes of #VanishedChicagoland sadly passed away. Pete was the essence of Chicago. His ultimate goal was to share Chicago History with our City & Chicagoans around the World. Pete's Vanished Chicagoland Group on Facebook and across social media was definitely a huge influence for us, in doing what we do daily. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pete's Family and Friends. We hope to do our best to keep Pete's legacy remembered for lifetimes. Pete Kastanes was, is, and will forever be #ChicagoHistory.

@AndrewBrandt I might add that D2 and D3 schools will gain some great athletes.

Wonder if we’ll continue to see more of this..

NEWS: Arkansas is discontinuing its men's and women's tennis programs — the first programs cut by the Razorbacks since men's swimming and diving in the early 1990s. This will leave Arkansas with 17 sports. More coming later today at WholeHogSports.com.

@AndrewBrandt I say this every draft. They give the kids Team Caps, not Gold Jackets. Only time will tell.

Annual post-Draft first night ritual:
Every NFL team:
"We can't believe he was there when we picked!"
Every NFL agent:
"They got the steal of the Draft!"

@vanishedchicago @PeteKastanes Very sorry to hear this. God bless you and keep you.

Hi everyone. In case where I have been lately, I have been in the hospital. My cancer has spread. I don’t have time much left. As of Vanished Chicagoland the future will be a family decision. Thank you! For my making this fun. I love you all! And god bless!

On Shakespeare’s birthday , my favorite quote of his :
“This above all: To thine own self be true / And it must follow , as the night the day/ Thou canst not then be false to any man.’
Yeah , I know no one cares . But I’m a WS nerd.
