This is Zeus.
His owners were tired of convincing people that he is a demanding boy.
GET MY MANS SOME WATER PLEASE!!!
Some would call this Husky a drama queen.
I personally think he just isn’t afraid to say what he wants.
13/10 great job Zeus!

Twiggy the water skiing squirrel might be the GOAT of water sports.
But that doesn’t stop Johnny Law from trying to stop him from performing.
She was skiing at the Vancouver boat show, entertaining the masses with her amazing skills and promoting water safety.
Here’s the thing though, it’s been illegal for squirrels to water ski in Vancouver for over 40 years!
It sounds weird but it is true.
Many other animals are allowed to, including other rodents like hamsters and Guinea pigs, but not Squirrels.
So now Twiggy is on the run.
I say we welcome her with open arms in Chicago as a safe haven.
LET TWIGGY SKI IT’S HE PASSION!!!

Football is not over even though the Super Bowl is in the books. This weekend ESPN, FOX, and ABC all broadcasted games from the revived alternative in pro football, XFL which is heavily funded by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon’s new separate company Alpha Entertainment, The debut games garnered a lot of attention from viewers yesterday with four of the top ten trending topics on Twitter being related to the games that featured the Los Angeles Wildcats, Houston Roughnecks, Seattle Dragons, and D.C. Defenders. Overall the response online was positive with football fans feeling it delivered on it’s promise of being something different but legit.
So it will last longer than the last time we saw the XFL in 2001 when it lasted just one season amid bad reception from sports media analysts and more? Only time will tell. Unfortunately the new XFL does not have a Chicago team this time around. Sorry Enforcer fans, maybe sometime in the future right?
The new league seems streamlined with a fresh takes on rules and presentation on the sport with changes to the kickoff, extra points, and much more. Here are the highlights of the two first games.
Green Day premiered their new album ON AIR on 101WKQX this past Thursday right before the world got to stream it at midnight, so here it is in all of the jump up and down power-pop-in-your-face hook-you-in-the-mouth glory. At a brisk 26 minutes, it flies by with fun smart-ass butt-moving groove while retaining the Oakland trio still delivering all of the goods with some vibes that will remind you of some influences outside of their expectant radar like Arctic Monkeys, 80’s new wave, and even a sample of fellow Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famer Joan Jett. The album dropped this past Friday. It’s available on all major streaming platforms including YouTube where you can stream it above.
While you are here, check out our exclusive deep-diving ‘press conference’ with Billie Joe, MIke, and Tre prior to the last time they thrilled thousands at Wrigley Field.
Tyler Joseph and wife Jenna are expecting their first spawn….like, any moment now. So, Tyler asked the fans for a favor:

i need some tasteful creations including half of my facial features and half of jenna’s.
can’t wait to fall in love.— tyler jøseph (@tylerrjoseph) February 4, 2020

Netflix is introducing a new change for those of that don’t enjoy getting caught off-guard by unnecessary blast of noise. The Verge reported this week that the streaming service will soon let you turn off the ‘auto play’ feature that springs previews of shows and movies as you scroll over them with your remote. It’s odd how some of the near endless options on Netflix have trailer springing on while you are shifting through the menus, and then others don’t. This new change seeks to get rid of the nuisance while we are doing a binge on shows about British cupcakes and true crime documentaries.

The latest trailer for “The Invisible Man” movie came out today, and it’s a blood pressure-raiser.
The thrill you get while watching the Super Bowl is beat by almost nothing.
But no one talks about the depression that sets in right after the game when you realize… there’s no more football.
WELL GUESS WHAT, THERE IS FOOTBALL THIS SATURDAY!
Will the XFL last long? Probably not, but who cares!
We have football this weekend!!!
The government finally does something right!
The Illinois government says that they are no longer going to give you a ticket from a red light camera.
Chicago neighborhoods can still contract private debt collectors if they want to get that sweet sweet red light camera money.
But the important thing is, Illinois wont.
Drive fast and take chances everybody.
Don’t you always wonder what the players are saying on the field?
I want to say that these interpretations were 98% accurate.
You can take that to the bank.
Cards Against Humanity will continue their smart-ass get-together game goodness with their own board game cafe in the Logan Square neighborhood right next to one of the city’s most beloved ice cream spots. CAH will open the Chicago Board Game Cafe at 965 N. Milwaukee Ave in 14,000 square foot space right next to Margie’s Candies. It’s a short walk from the Western Blue line station, so it will be pretty accessible for a night of drinking the drinks and rolling the dice.
According to Block Club Chicago, 300 games including Scrabble, Monopoly, Risk, and, of course, Cards Against Humanity with all of it’s dark demented humor will be playable when the cafe opens next week. Food will vary in price from $14-$60. Wine and cocktails start at $10. This same article notes that two escape rooms will also be featured on site with production from the House Theatre of Chicago.

Smashing Pumpkins are going to have a very busy 2020 as today it was announced they will join Guns ‘n Roses on select dates of their summer stadium tour. Unfortunately, Pumpkins will not be playing with the Guns at their July 26th show at Wrigley Field but rather 6 shows across the east coast. Maybe make it a road trip to take in this special bill?
This follows the news from band leader Billy Corgan that the reformed Chicago legends with drummer Jimmy Chamberlin and guitarist James Iha back in the fold, will release a double album later this year. According to Consequence of Sound, Corgan stated this will be “the first real album” since the band’s reformation because they “hunkered down and made a classic ‘Let’s throw it all at the wall and see what happens’ type of Pumpkins record.”
Check out memorable Lounge session with the Pumpkins while they had their triumphant residency at the United Center.
