Tyler Joseph is a new father, and this is a scary time to be a new parent but he was inspired by his family to pen this new song over the last few weeks. That same get-it-done-at-home vibe came into play in the number 1 YouTube trending video has been a little over a day and has already been streamed 5.6 million times.
Just a little background on how the song came about:
Tyler’s mom inspired him to write a song for their fans in this unprecedented moment in all of our lives. He decided to write about the last time he felt this out of control. This virus has taken such a huge toll on everyone and as a new dad now in lockdown it makes him feel helpless. He chose to turn it into a love song about his wife. He compares this time of little control to that moment when he decided to commit to a life with her and that uneasy feeling of realizing that when you make that kind of a commitment to someone else, you give up a good portion of control. It is no longer all about you, it is about us!
Alright this may seem weird, and that is because it is, but this bush craft outdoorsman has come up with a technique to catch fish only using some fishing line and a mouse trap.
Is this practical in Chicago? No… plus we kind of have that rat problem so the traps should probably be used for that.
But hey who am I to stop you from mouse trapping a fish!??!
For the first time ever, every animal in at the Chicago Animal Control has been adopted this week!
That means more dogs like Kale Chips here are going to find their forever home!!
PAWS Chicago and One Tail at a Time, Two of Chicago’s biggest animal adoption shelters have had so much interest in fostering cats and dogs ever since the stay at home protocol went into effect that they have actually had to put people on a waiting list!
Animal shelters are classified as essential businesses so they are still open for business and are still sending animals to their forever homes.
Since March 22, 2,200 applications have been sent in to PAWS Chicago with interest in fostering or adopting a cat or dog.
Now the shelters are warning people that they need to think about how they will care for these pets after the quarantine is over.
With that in mind, and for more information you can visit PAWS website and One Tail at a Time’s website for more info on how you can foster or adopt your very own pet!
Florida never fails to entertain with their weird shenanigans and crazy crimes.
That is again the case here, where one man hung a giant toilet paper roll in his front yard poking fun at all of the people who panic bought TP causing a shortage.
You know what, on second thought… the Florida man might be right on this one!
#wstayqx Every night at 8pm in the South Loop, Chicago Unite at Night shows support for those on the front lines. We flash our lights and have a sing-a-long. Here was last night’s party. Everybody just clap your hands!!
Every night in my hood, The South Loop, we flash lights and have a song-a-long to honor those on the front lines. Here was last night! I spared you my singing… this time. 😉 #wstayqx #africa Brian, Ali, Justin
Swedish metal guitarist Christofer Malmstrom released a cover of the Slayer classic “Angel of Death,” featuring his 12-year-old daughter Amanda on vocals.
In this time of social distancing and sheltering at home, we love seeing a family come together like this.
There are a lot of interesting toilets out there, like these for example.
But none of these compare to this new smart toilet.
Researchers at Stanford University have created a smart toilet that recognizes users by their ‘analprint’. That’s right, the toilet knows who is using it based on a b-hole.
They say that this new technology can help diagnose medical problems that usually have to be tested in a lab by simply keeping track of users ‘analprint’
also analprint technology is an amazing selling point I have to say.
If you are showing off some slip resistant paint on a deck that get’s slippery when it is snowing… you should probably not make a video of yourself slipping on it.
A mayor in Alton IL pleaded with residents to follow the state issued stay at home protocol.
When it was reported that people were still going out and defying the order he ordered the police to start handing out citations and arrests for people who were not at home.
Well guess who ol’ johnny law found at a local bar…
No other than Mrs. Mayor’s wife herself.
Not a great look I would say. He was informed that his wife was found breaking the order so he told them to treat her like they would any other citizen. Which is a misdemeanor charge that could lead up to 364 days in jail and/or a $2,500 fine… and I imagine an awkward conversation when she got back home.
The mayor apologized and said he was embarrassed by the whole incident, which can be chalked up as one huge YIKES!
