This world is going to break me

Cover of the current issue of "Concealed Carry" magazine. It says "BACK-TO-SCHOOL ISSUE" and shows a white dip shit with a goatee wearing safety glasses, ear protection, and a baseball cap. He is holding a pistol in his right hand and a magazine is being ejected from it.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice in Chains

The cover of the album The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest. Here's a good description: https://au.rollingstone.com/music/music-lists/100-best-album-covers-all-time-64137/a-tribe-called-quest-the-low-end-theory-3-64183/
"The cover of A Tribe Called Quest’s second album features an unnamed model photographed by Joe Grant. She’s kneeling in black shadows, her body covered in green and red paint. It’s partly inspired by Ohio Players’ memorable 1970s run of covers that depicted women in freaky and suggestive positions. “I wanted a white background for the shot, but they flipped it and made it black,” said group leader Q-Tip in the 2005 book Rakim Told Me. All of the Low End Theory’s visual elements, from the woman in body paint to the red-black-green color scheme reminiscent of the Pan-African flag, became defining elements for Tribe moving forward, and a signature for their deep-rooted and jazz-inflected bohemian sound. —M.R."

I have zero memory of this event and can find no mention of it anywhere else online, including in the Chicago Tribune archives. Does anyone have any memories of this event?

[screenshot of text from a Wikipedia article]
A special millennial tribute to Pulaski was staged in the year 2000 involving a large party in Chicago's Grant Park. Featured live were DJ Food and a varied dance setlist, including artists such as Two Hours Traffic alongside Snoop Dogg and Moby. This was followed by a multimedia presentation on Pulaski's life and accomplishments set to orchestral music performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and specially composed for the occasion by Yanni.

I am on an island of sorts, staying with family, close friends staying nearby...I don't think I could feel more fine. I am fine.

I have seen this bumper sticker in the wild and always assumed they had custom printed.

A beat up bumper sticker on a beat up white mini cooper. The number sticker says in black text "Keep Honking! I'm Listening to Alice Coltrane's 1972 Metric Sensation 'Universal Consciousness'"

Why does an elephant even need a shotgun?

Screenshot from linked article:
"He was seriously injured and lost his gun in the thick bush as the elephants attacked the terrified hunter with just a shotgun, who was then brutally trampled underfoot."

Immediately after watching the trailer I turned to my wife and said, "This is absolutely not going to happen in the movie, but this trailer is giving me some serious Man-Spider vibes".

Like you said, expected, but disappointing.

Tonight, I was awarded a glass dildo for my service.

I saw these and had to know, but figured I would hate them. They're really good.

That's the Shirley MacLaine imo

Actress Shirley MacLaine circa The Apartment, one of the greatest movies ever made. She has short straight red hair. Her body is facing to our right, but she has her head turned towards us. She is adorable.

Is it disinfo to use what appears to be an AI generated photo of a public event on campaign materials, @danielbiss.bsky.social?

Political flyer for Daniel Biss. There's an AI photo of him talking to microphones with his hands outspread and a whistle around his neck. There are people holding signs behind him. The text on the microphones and signs is mostly gibberish.

No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist I could not be more thrilled

Well said, @jonseidel.bsky.social

Federal authorities slapped all kinds of sinister labels on Chicago's Juan Espinoza Martinez when they arrested him last fall, and they did it for all the world to hear.

They called him a "high-ranking member of the Latin Kings." They called him "depraved." They even called him a "thug" as they accused him of offering $10,000 for the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino.

But Thursday, a federal jury called Espinoza Martinez "not guilty." In doing so, it put an end to one of the most contentious prosecutions to result from "Operation Midway Blitz."

You will be visited by three spirits

Fiberglass statues of the Manny, Moe, and Jack characters from Pep Boys. Totally creepy and all of them are wearing blue pants and yellow sweaters with red a red P on them. There is what looks like a two story brick building behind them

And for what? For a little bit of money. There's more to life than a little money, you know. Don't you know that? Well, I just don't understand it

And in all that posturing, not one glimpse of the worm that crawled into Olivia Nuzzi’s brain and made her fall so ravenously in love.

So far, so good

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? Ok

I can't wait to see the answer to this

Donald Westlake had a character exactly like that. In one book, his family performs an intervention for him, sending him to Club Med to see if he can learn to be less unpleasant.

Screenshot from the John Dortmunder Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dortmunder):

Arnie Albright: Dortmunder's usual fence. Arnie lives alone in a squalid apartment on the Upper West Side and collects calendars. His appearance and behavior repulse every character he encounters, but he is fully aware of this and compensates by offering better terms than his competitors. Even Dortmunder can't always stand dealing with Arnie, and from time to time he goes to another fence named "Stoon" (actual name not currently known).
