Both in life and when playing himself on HBO’s new semi-autobiographical comedy Crashing, Pete Holmes is a beaming labradoodle of a man who thinks being alive is just the most amazing thing. He loves love, God, making new buds, street hot dogs, and performing stand-up comedy. His enthusiasm is boundless, his affection more generous than some can handle, and his khakis taller than most people. (MORE HERE)

Chance the Rapper held a press conference today at Westcott Elementary School in Chicago to announce that he is donating $1 million to Chicago Public Schools. “Our kids should not be held hostage because of political positions,” he said. He later revealed that he and Common will speak on the phone to discuss further funding. The announcement follows his meeting with Illinois governor Bruce Rauner last week, where they discussed public education and other “important issues affecting” the city of Chicago and Illinois as a whole. Immediately following the meeting, Chance expressed his frustration, saying, “It went a little different than it should have,” and that he was given vague answers when speaking with the governor. At the press conference, he reiterated that Gov. Rauner gave him “vague” answers, and shouted, “Gov. Rauner, do your job!” Watch the press conference below. (MORE HERE)

Space X, the non-government space exploration outfit lead by Tesla mastermind Eilon Musk who have created rockets that can fly into space and return in one piece and is now challenging NASA in public vs. private space race with plans announced last week to put two private citizens in the orbit of the Moon. Yes, a human being who is not an astronaut will be able to get a trip to the Moon. So how much could it cost? The estimates are being compared to what it costs to send a trained astronaut to the International Space Station, which is between 70-80 million. So save up, the first SpaceX Moon trips are planned to launch in 2018.
This video from the Verge explains the entire process in detail including how SpaceX could charge people for these very special trips.

The idea for the world’s first craft beer hotel has been hatched.
BrewDog, the Scottish magic makers who recently settled stateside, want to add on to their facility in Columbus, Ohio — with a 50-room hotel and sour beer production facility.
Among the amenities being offered at The Doghouse? Beer fridges in each room — (including the shower!) — spa treatments that include “malted barley massages” and “hop oil pedicures,” IPA taps in rooms, and windows that look directly on to the brewery.
To the project jumpstarted, BrewDog launched a crowdsourcing effort that has already raised over $100,000. They hope to complete the project in 2018.
Frankly, it’s beer — so it’s worth every penny.

Perfectly timed with the $85 million dollar opening weekend for Logan, Ryan Reynolds had his own success in releasing a teaser trailer for Deadpool 2 — over 13 million hits in the last 24 hours. And naturally, a little fun is poked at Hugh Jackman’s iconic character – plus a new twist on an old cameo. Here it is (NSFW, language, violence, situations…DUH):
Sadly, you have about a year to wait for the whole enchilada. The sequel hits theaters March 2018. — [eric]

As we start to 3D-print everything — including houses, of all things — it’s pretty impressive that a company built one in just 24 hours.
Located in Russia, this 400-square-foot home (37 square meters) was built in just a day, at a cost of just over $10,000.
3D-printing company Apis Cor built the house using a mobile printer on-site. (MORE HERE)

The award-winning, skillet-baked mac and cheese at AMK is worth every calorie. Cloaked in a melty, jalapeno and bacon-stippled mix of havarti, fontina, provolone, Asiago and Gouda, it’s topped with more cheese and showered with breadcrumbs. “Perfection” is the first word that comes to mind.
AMK is at 1954 W. Armitage Ave.
Mindy’s Hot Chocolate
Featuring a lush mix of Gruyère, American and cheddar cheeses, Hot Chocolate serves an impressive rendition that’s so saucy you’d benefit from a spoon. Use yours to break open the crackly, browned top and scoop up the molten goodness within. Then, and ask for some bread to sop up the remains.
Mindy’s Hot Chocolate is at 1747 N. Damen Ave.
For an especially decadent version of mac and cheese, head to elegant Maple & Ash. Served in a cast-iron dish, the noodles are swathed in a blend of Gruyère, mascarpone, raclette and comté, all tied together with creamy béchamel, nuggets of salty bacon and a breadcrumb topping.
Maple & Ash is at 8 W. Maple St.
YESSSSSS!!!!

A new photo is going around that shows a bowl of strawberries and it asks a simple question: Are they red?
The correct answer is no. All reds have allegedly been stripped out of the picture, so it’s all different grays. But we THINK they’re red and we see red, because they’re strawberries. I’m confused. READ MORE
