Sometimes grunt work is the best work. This man brightens people’s day while brightening people’s shoes and he makes bank doing it. Take a look at what he does.
“It’s all about that bait.”
Truer words have never been spoken.

We are simply baffled at the sheer stupidity of this story. This woman worked at a law firm, a steady, sensible job. She threw that all away in the name of Hot Cheetos. Humiliating. She hopped the fence to the spider monkey exhibit, something that even zookeepers don’t do, and then tried to give the animals a little treat.
Of course, once she was identified, she was fired. Times are tough but they aren’t tough enough to justify feeding animals Hot Cheetos.
Night owls, beware. The 10 PM liquor curfew that was put in place at the start of the pandemic could become a permanent fixture in the city. The proposed change says no person with a package goods license can sell or give away packaged goods 10 PM-7 AM daily, with the Mayor of Chicago sighting that this would be a way to revitalize restaurants that suffered because of the pandemic.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on this situation. The conversation lives on Facebook.
This couple has entered a new stage of their relationship and that stage is now possibly sleeping alone.

Jesus Christ, people. Take care of one another.
This goes in the hall of fame of stupid injuries!
Lake Shore Drive will remain as it is for now, as the vote to change its name to DuSable Drive stalled. The next vote to possibly change the name will be June 23. The Mayor of Chicago noted it’s “way past time” to honor Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, Chicago’s first non-indigenous settler, but the Mayor’s package a park east of Lake Shore Drive.
Where do you stand on the possible name change to Lake Shore Drive? Have you softened your stance on the name change since it was first proposed? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Summer is here and Karen’s have no fear. This Karen is pissed about some of the bodies she’s been seeing at her neighborhood pool.
Where do you think this Karen is from? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Chicago is back, baby. After a year away from the ballpark and nine years of mediocrity, Sox fans in this city finally have something to cheer for. The rowdiness got a little out of control on Monday, however, as a group of ladies began throwing hands in the stands.

This video is one big “yikes”. A sign of the times for humanity. A colossal failure for everyone involved. These nasally voices are all doomed for failure going forward.
This video feels like a sign that maybe humanity jumped the shark awhile ago. Let’s pack it in, rethink, and try something new once space travel becomes a middle class vacation destination.
Cheating is in some people’s blood. They can’t resist the thrill of being with someone that they’re not supposed to be with…even if it means taking multiple showers in a day, which seems like the only real drawback to the lifestyle that The Master Cheater lives. Listen to him talk about how this all goes down.
But I’m sure this doesn’t apply to your partner…
Yes, unfortunately this is real. A man in Spain died inside of a dinosaur sculpture in a failed effort to receive a dropped cellphone. He became stuck inside the statue and ultimately met his fateful demise, being discovered by a father and son after it was too late.
It raises the question, though, what is the wildest thing you’ve done to save your phone? We’d rather die that let our phones to go waste. Tell us about how you recovered your phone on Facebook!

A school district in Texas is laying the hammer down for a harmless school prank. Some students at Comfort High School put plastic forks on the practice football field, while others wrecked havoc by…placing balloons and a deer head inside the school. The school district was not having this and now as these seniors conclude their high school journey, they’re going to be doing it from in-school-suspension.
SUSPENDED❗️ Half the senior class at Comfort High School has been suspended after participating in a senior prank last week. The extent of the damage? See the pictures below ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/OrDHmPfxE8

First of all, this isn’t even a good prank. The kids swung and missed with the idea and the execution. If they were suspended for having bad ideas, we would fully endorse it. But suspending them for planting forks in the ground? Just have them pick it up! What are we doing here?
Whatever you’re going through in life, be assured that Machine Gun Kelly can help you get through it. Just after receiving his Billboard Award for the Best Rock Artist of 2020, the Cleveland-native had this to say.
Use MGK’s words to break out of your box and own the day.
The best team in baseball is allowing more fans in the stands as of this week. Guaranteed Rate Field will now operate at 60% capacity, allowing just under 25,000 fans to be in the ballpark for South Side greatness. The Sox are home all week, finishing up a series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday before the Orioles come to town for a three-game series.
Social distancing guidelines will still be set in place while for fully vaccinated patrons, masks will be encouraged but not required in outdoor settings.
We talked a few weeks ago about how there’s a town in Maryland fighting for the right for women to be topless on the beach. In a roundabout way, a school district in Florida is fighting the same fight. 80 seniors at Bartram Trail High School had their photos digitally manipulated to add clothing to areas of the chest that may have been exposed. All of the photos edited were photos of young women and none of them were consulted about this decision prior to the yearbooks being released.
This is a before and after yearbook photo taken of Bartram Trail 9th grade high school student, Riley O’Keefe.
She says it was deemed inappropriate by the school and photoshopped in the printed edition.

Do schools have the right to edit photos in their yearbook? According to the faculty member who made this decision ,everyone that had their photos edited were in violation of the school dress code. Let us know your thoughts! The conversation lives on Facebook!
