Chicago gets a Pride makeover

Chicago is getting itself into the spirit of Pride!

The Chicago Transit Authority has decorated several train cars with rainbows as it has in previous years, but a new installment this year is rainbow crosswalks!

Chicago is painting 14 rainbow crosswalks in Boystown, currently, 7 have been completed. The crosswalks mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, an uprising against homophobic police raids at the Stonewall Inn in NYC, which was a huge milestone for the LGBT struggle for equality.
Funding for the project was donated from the Chicago Pride Fest and the street festival Northalsted Market Days.

The 14th completed crosswalk will be dedicated to the transgender community with the inclusion of the blue, pink and white stripes found on the transgender flag.

Everything is said to be completed in time for Chicago’s Pride Fest, which starts June 22nd.

Blink-182: Mark Hoppus clears the air on Tom DeLonge reunion rumors

 

Speculation among Blink-182 fans has been at a fever-pitch over the last week after former band member Tom Delonge did a radio interview in which he said he was talking Mark Hoppus about  “what makes sense and when.” This lead many to run with the idea of Delounge rejoining the band, who have marched on the last few years successfully with Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba. Hoppus has cleared the air on the rumors and erased some other rumors about when Blink is releasing it’s anticipated follow up to ‘California’. AltPress turned us on to all this news today.

Speaking with KROQ in Los Angeles in a separate interview, Hoppus said the following about a reunion with DeLonge:

“There is not any talk of that right now. I mean, I’ll never say never to anything, but that is a completely unfounded rumor at this point.”

There has been some fan discussion on social media about a leaked date for the release of the next Blink album, but Hoppus has also stated that is not the case either.

“There is not an exact date“It is coming out this summer. I was just on the phone earlier today with Ron Perry, who’s the head of our label, and we are figuring out the exact launch date. But we are finalizing mixes right now, we have about half the album mastered, and the announce on when the album will be released will be forthcoming.”

Meanwhile the Blink universe collectively celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album ‘Enema of the State’ this past weekend with many of them professing their love as a hallmark of a generation. Read more about that here. 

Here is the latest single from Blink-182 recorded for the upcoming album, it’s called ‘Blame it on my Youth’.

 

The 5 Commandments Of Concert Etiquette

Leona Graham from Absolute Radio recently sent out a tweet asking for rules of etiquette at a concert. Almost all the responses elicited an \”AMEN\” from me, especially these 5…

1. Thou Shalt Not Film With An iPad.

2. Honor Thy Barrier Queue.

3. Thou Shall Help Those Who Have Fallen To Rise.

4. Thou Shalt Not Kill The Sound With Chatter.

5. Thou Shalt Not Take Thy Space Of The Barrier In Vain.

Someone Just Figured Out Your Car Has a Secret Built-In Taco Holder

If you are already doing this you may be borderline GENIUS!

A Twitter user named @LazyBoy figured out last week that the little sunglasses holder that pops down from the roof of your car is actually the perfect size and shape to hold a crunchy taco.

He tweeted a picture of a taco in the taco holder, and now it’s going viral.

Catholic school principal was arrested at a strip club while on a school field trip, WTF!?

WTF News

Have you ever woken up with a completely stable life and just decided, you know what….. screw this. That’s exactly what this Louisiana Catholic school principal did when he got arrested at a strip club while on a field trip with his STUDENTS!

The principal was charged with public intoxication and possession of an open container of alcohol after he refused to pay his bill.

Needless to say, he resigned from his position after the arrest. But can you blame the guy? Field trips suck as an adult.

R.I.P iTunes

Appreciate iTunes while you can!

Apple has announced to end the product at the Worldwide Developer Conference. Instead, they will be creating three different media apps for music, TV, and podcasts. Their music app will focus on the streaming music service, Apple Music. It shouldn’t be much of a surprise, many people say iTunes died a long time ago.

But after 18 years since it was first introduced, it’s time to say goodbye.

They’ve already started deleting things off their social media sites for the service.

Scottie Pippen blames kindergartner for damage to rental home.

Marker and crayon defacement by children — is not kid’s play to Scottie Pippen.

The former Chicago Bulls player had already filed a lawsuit against tenants who agreed to rent a mansion of his in Florida.  Now he’s amended it to include damages by the couple’s now five year old daughter — which he alleges total $109,000.

While Pippen’s lawyer defends the move on both legal and moral grounds, the family even went so far as to offhandedly dis another famous Chicago Bull in their response to the move.  Ouch.  — [eric]

New app let’s you fake Facetime calls with famous people

An app now exists where you can fake a Facetime call with a famous person like Post Malone or Billie Eilish. Why have real friends when you can have fake famous friends with video to convince others? It’s called Flextime.

Marketing agency MSCHF is believed to have possibly developed this as a stunt, and strategist Daniel Greenberg told The Verge why it’s catching on.

“Millennials are all about texting,” Greenberg said of the generation and their smartphone habits. “Everyone my age and younger is always FaceTiming. I have gone to many a bar in Brooklyn and pretended that I was talking to Post Malone and so people have believed it.”

Flextime is out now as a browser version for anybody to use, but you can not share anything directly. A mobile version is out through a thid-party app called Monkey where you can share the recordings directly to Instagram or Twitter.

Apple’s iTunes will soon be gone

Consequence of Sound is reporting today that Apple is shutting down iTunes, it’s portal for music, TV shows, movies, and podcasts which innovated the distribution of media when it started in 2001.

The move by the tech giant is based on multiple factors,  Apps for Music, TV, and Podcasts are already on iPhones and iPads; Mac and MacBook users will now have access to them. Apple has also expanded into putting out content itself and it’s own video streaming service with exclusive shows. With the diversification of all the different content on iTunes and it’s own content distribution efforts, it seems like the company felt like launching apps for each individual feed was a better way to go.

Apple will announce a new line of apps for your content needs on Monday at it’s developers conference.

Philly Cheesesteak Cheesecake marks the beginning of the end

Every city has its own special culinary thing right. Chicago has Vienna Beef hot dogs, Cincinnati has Skyline Chili, St. Louis has…. well just a bunch of stuff that doesn’t make any sense, and of course Philidelphia has the world famous Philly Cheesesteak. It is a simple creation, yet the joy it brings to the soul is more complex than string theory. The good people of Philadelphia have worked so hard to share their beautiful creation with the people of the world and in return, someone decided to go and ruin it for everyone. What I’m referring to of course is the cheesesteak cheesecake.


I think @holliballer on twitter summed up exactly how everyone feels about it

There is so much wrong with this cheesecake. First off, cheesecake is suspect at best. Second, YOU DO NOT PUT PEPPERS ON A CHEESESTEAK.

I think we all need to take a step back and just reconsider what we’re doing with our lives.

Have you ever taken a look at Facebook Market place?

You’ll find a lot of clothing, furniture, or household items, but if you’re in San Antonio Texas you could find yourself a pair of implants!
