People might think this bird is amazing, I just think bird people are weird.
Really hurts my heart that this parrot learned more in college than I did.

Remember the body slamming CTA driver? He is being charged for being a real friend I guess.

Maybe he has a future in the pro wrestling world though!

‘Taste of Chicago To-Go’ starts today
Those days of standing in line with a wad of tickets in your hand, sweaty and annoyed by the crush of human traffic around you, just to get a breaded steak sandwich and Rainbow Cone, are on hold for now. Today sees the launch of “Taste of Chicago To-Go,” a virtual expression of the annual Taste of Chicago festival in Grant Park.
The “virtual” event includes a Dining Guide, listing featured items at participating restaurants. Each restaurant listing indicates how one can pick up their food (curbside, carry-out, delivery) and listings are broken down by category (Desserts, Classic Chicago, Ethnic and Neighborhood). “Taste To-Go” also features daily online programming, including cooking demonstrations from Tzuco, Luella’s Southern Kitchen and Monteverde. Revered Chicago musician Jon Langford is one of the acts performing in “Millennium Park at Home” Thursday night.
Welcome to the new normal. Eating goat tacos in Grant Park will have to wait for now.
Plane had to emergency land after it’s nose caved in from hail!
A plane had to divert its flight and emergency land at JFK international airport after some hail caused the nose of the plane to cave in.
If you’re already scared of flying… don’t watch this.
How can hail do that! How is that even possible!
New city program offers relief to families who can’t pay their water bill.
There is a new bill in Chicago that will help eligible candidates to pay their water bill.
Water is a necessity, and it is understandable especially in these times if one is to miss paying a utility bill.
The problem with missing a bill payment is all of the late fees that start to stack up which makes it even harder to get ahead of the problem and keep the water running.
This new bill will help people keep their water up and running.
To see if you are an eligible candidate, check out this link here.

A Bidet company is offering $10K for the easiest job of your life!
TUSHY, a bidet company, is offering one lucky person $10K to use their product as a toilet paper executive.
All you have to do is use the product and report your experience on social media.
The gig comes with the executive title of VP of Fecal Matter.
Not bad for the resume if you ask me…
All you have to do to be considered for the job is send in an audition video like the one above.
Good luck beating that though!

I’m assuming the death was caused by decapitation.
It must be so hard to be a cop in Florida, weird stuff like this must be happening every like 10 minutes.

Don’t worry Ellen DeGeneres is okay! Even if you saw #RIPELLEN on Twitter.

Harvard decides to stay online, but will still charge full tuition
School may be back in session in the fall, but not in person at Harvard.
But don’t get it twisted, they’re still going to charge you the full tuition even if classes are online.
That’s right, if you are “going” to attend Harvard in the fall you’ll still be paying a nice 50 grand for the full year, even if you’re not on campus.
Is it right for universities to be charging their full tuition rates if they don’t have in person classes?

This awesome family has been playing music and dancing to try to cheer up their neighbors during quarantine.
And they’ve been going for 105 days straight!

Why don’t all interviews ever happen in Florida?
Florida never fails to bring the entertainment! Which is why I am petitioning to have to include at least one Florida resident interview on every show.
Just amazing, that’s it.
