Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Department of Streets and Sanitation (DSS) today announced the six winning names for the City’s fourth annual “You Name a Snowplow” contest. On February 1, the City posted 25 finalists from the initial pool of names received from Chicagoans, and residents were able to vote for up to six names through midnight on February 14.
The six snowplow names that received the most votes include:
Abolish ICE
Stephen Coldbert
Pope Frío XIV
The Blizzard of Oz
Svencoolie
Caleb Chilliams
“I want to thank the people of Chicago for their unmatched creativity, sense of humor, and civic pride,” said Mayor Brandon Johnson. “We are grateful and inspired by the record-breaking participation in the contest this year. As we get through the last of the winter months, I encourage Chicagoans to seek out available resources through 311 and to continue interacting and engaging with local government.”
The City received a record number of entries (13,300) and voters (39,000) for this year’s contest. The ‘Chance the Scraper’ entry received honorable mention due to finishing just .24% out of the top six.

Painting of a wintry cityscape, the ground covered in snow. A jumble of patterned objects appear in the foreground, possibly rubbish in a cart or dumpster. At left is a brown apartment building with a Black person in a green coat walking past. The background is dominated by a hill in a park, with figures walking through a path up the hill past spindly trees. Many people are sledding on the hill. At the top of the hill is a large gray building.

A screenshot of the opening titles to the 1987 Duck Tales episode, Wronguay in Ronguay. Behind the title lettering is a cartoon scene of a pink building with flat green roof with a glass arched ceiling sticking up and two white smokestacks with red lines spiraling down them. The windows at ground level have a brown viscous substance coming out, most likely mud or chocolate. Around the building are a few other nondescript buildings and a smattering of emergency vehicles.
This aired in 1987* and yet, almost 40 years later, it is still the first thing that pops into my head when I hear or say the words "wrong way". Though I have misremembered it as "Wronguay _to_ Ronguay" and I did not remember the spelling.
*I may very well have seen a rerun sometime after '87.

Photo of a box in a store cooler. It contains a "Charcuterie Chalet Kit" and a "Charcuterie Tree Kit" which despite the use of French appears to mostly be cold cuts, cheese, olives and crackers arranged into vaguely Christmassy themed objects which will probably taste bad or just feel unpleasantly greasy if they're left on the table at your party for longer than an hour.
Spotted at Costco some time after Thanksgiving, didn't dig the pic up until now.

A black disk (the Moon) with the Sun visible around it
'The Moon passed directly between the Sun and Earth on 17 February 2026, creating an annular solar eclipse. Because the Moon was at a more distant point along its elliptical orbit around Earth, it didn't entirely cover the Sun and left a ‘ring of fire’.
The European Space Agency's (ESA) Proba-2 satellite captured this ring from its viewpoint in space. Flying around Earth, the spacecraft witnessed the same solar eclipse no less than four times, including this perfect ring of fire'

They won’t also it, but the simplest thing by far would be to knock a couple grand off everyone’s taxes this year.
I saw a pundit on the news saying any company that successful would likely do a buy back of their shares. How is that in any way fair! Not sure how customers could be refunded though, unless they keep details of purchases and payment methods for every single transaction?

I'm ya hype drink, come take a big sip
I'm in position, you can't play me out the pocket
I'll take the dopest beat you got and I'll rock it
Like chocolate, even vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, sarsaparilla
Flavors are electric, try me, get a shocker
Didn't I tell you to leave Flavor Flav alone, knocker
A clock on my chest proves I don't fess
I'm a clocker, rocker, rockin' with the rest
Mad respect to the ladies for the win.
Mad respect to Flav for keeping it real.
#GOAT, #LEGEND, #MAESTRO

I dunno man, they were publicly cheering on the women’s team, but laughed at them with Cheetoh in the locker room. They are getting raked over the coals online for that.

A scan of a page from a zine (with the ghosts of the opposite page bleeding through) showing a guitar tabs for three chords, A, E, and G. They are labeled "this is a chord"; "this is another"; "this is a third". Underneath, underlined, it reads "Now form a band."

As re https://mltshp.com/p/1RKVQ.
"'There’s an illustration from a fanzine called Sideburn #1, which was a drawing made by Tony Moon just to fill the space. It’s a drawing of three guitar chords and it says, "now form a band". That fanzine is extremely rare, but the drawing is often quoted by lots of musicians as the impetus to do something, and it’s seen as a key message of punk,' says Toby. 'You didn’t need to have been to music school or be particularly proficient or skilled. It was much more about the energy and drive to do something. It’s a rallying call to the troops.'"

Visiting the kiddo in Boston and our flight out today got canceled because reasons.
Couldn’t get a flight out till Wednesday night. Whee!
At least I get to feel nostalgia for all the Nanook of the North cosplay from my Connecticut blizzard childhood. Snorkel parka FTW.

I can clear out the guest room if need be?
@LocalStain ♥️aw, yer sweet. We’re all set up in a boarding house in Allston for the duration, but that’s a story for another time.
The real bummer is I had to sell my tickets to see Clipping in Seattle Wednesday. I’d been looking forward to that show for MONTHS.

Thanks for this! I'm (finally, after 4 years) wrapping up the last few punch list items on our kitchen remodel. One of the last things to do, which I've been dreading, is fitting a piece of the wood-backed linoleum flooring at the bottom of the stairs that lead to the garage. The space is out of square, with the door frame, trim, threshold, and stairs making it an odd shape.
I've been trying to figure out how to cut a piece of flooring to fit the space precisely without resorting to trial and error - and I think you just posted the answer.

This showed up on my Youtube recommendations last night and I watched the whole thing and it's very cool to learn something like this at my age.
@williwaw One of my life's regrets is not learning shop work from my dad. His work wasn't clever or quick or looked cool, but they were always bulletproof, liked you'd expect if you knew he grew up on his father's sawmill where anything they built that didn't last might ruin them.
One of my sisters married a cabinetmaker and fortunately he and my dad got along great together and he had someone to pass along what he knew.

@williwaw I should say that I was heartened by the response in the YT comments (shocking I know) In fact here is one of the top rated comments, a calm but clear takedown:
"Scott, I watched the whole thing. I didn’t click away because you’ve earned my respect over these past 8 years as a kind and thoughtful teacher. I hear what you admired; Charlie’s stagecraft, his confidence, and the metronome of his compass (God, family, country). And Erika’s composure was undeniably powerful.
I just want to name something: those traits are morally neutral. History is full of people who paired effortless debate, unshakeable confidence, and pious-sounding devotion to “God/family/country” with outcomes that harmed their neighbors. Portugal’s Estado Novo literally made “God, Fatherland, Family” its slogan while running an authoritarian regime. The virtues you cite aren’t the verdict; they’re just the tools.
For many of us, the objection to Charlie wasn’t his poise. It was the content and consequences of his message. A consistent throughline of his rhetoric treated some groups as existential threats (“invasion”, “replacement”), framed LGBTQ+ people as fundamentally disordered, and advanced debunked claims about elections. That combo (dehumanizing frames + misinformation + calls to use state power accordingly) lands as hostile, not merely “disagreement.” You don’t have to celebrate his death (I don’t; political murder is wrong, full stop) to also say his project hurt people.
One more thing: most folks I know condemned the assassination and feel sorrow for Erika and their kids. If some loud voices rejoiced, they don’t represent the norm in my circles either. Painting whole sides as grave-dancers deepens the trench we’re all trying to climb out of.
I’m staying subbed because I value your call to curiosity and good-faith dialogue. I just hope, in honoring dialogue, we don’t confuse eloquence and piety with goodness, or ignore the lived impact of the ideas themselves."

@gwint That's good and heartening to hear, but at this point, I'm so tired and have so many other fights that in this case I'm thinking: let the white guys bear the brunt for the all the goddamn labor of "the dialogue" for once.
See Jane Drill did an explainer on this 6 years ago.
