TikTok, an app that does not permit nudity, is starting to see a lot of it, but only if you look close enough. A flashing trend, dubbed “TitTok” by horny wordsmiths, is starting to infiltrate algorithms and take over feeds.
They are designed to be hidden and almost an optical illusion, like so,
Fellas, be warned. This could take over your TikTok very soon.
A DoorDash driver has picked up attention on TikTok for how she treats the orders of people who do not tip. Per this driver, she’ll scour the app for people who aren’t tipping anything during the order, and after she picks up the food, she’ll turn her car into an icebox, making what should be hot & ready food, ice cold.
Is she a jerk for getting payback on people who don’t tip? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Remember when it was warm earlier this week? Forget that. “Spring snow” is on the way as Friday morning, a wintery mix is headed for the Windy City. Per FOX 32, the GFS model squeezes out a wide range of snow from as little as a dusting well northwest of Chicago to around 3-4 inches in the city. The heaviest snow is south and east of Chicago where up to a half foot to a foot could come down.
Hopefully this is the last big snowfall we see this year, with baseball and summer fun on the horizon.
Gallagher Way, the entertainment plaza attached to Wrigley Field, announced that a Small Cheval is coming to Wrigleyville this spring. While no date has been announced, enthusiastic eaters are already ecstatic about this announcement. This will be located on the corner of Clark Street and Waveland Avenue where the Maddon’s Post restaurant was located.
There are also Small Cheval locations in the West Loop, Old Town, Wicker Park, Riverside, and Hyde Park.
Two-thirds of American teens use TikTok, according to the Pew Research Center, and now those kids are going to have a strict time limit on the app. Cormac Keenan, head of trust and safety at TikTok said in a blog post Wednesday that when the 60-minute limit is reached, minors will be prompted to enter a passcode and make an “active decision” to keep watching.
We’re going to go out on a limb and say that every kid that is faced with that decision will make an “active decision” to go ahead and keep scrolling.
Chris Black Saved My Life is dedicated to the band’s late friend and honorary band member, Chris Black, who died on May 19th, 2019.

Dave Grohl spent over 24 hours volunteering at a Los Angeles shelter to prepare barbecue for hundreds of people experiencing homelessness. The Foo Fighters frontman cooked up everything from brisket to pork butt to ribs and more. Grohl and his companions smoked the meat well past midnight, unpreterbed by a rare winter storm that rolled through Southern California. Grace Ancheta, the director of the shelter that Grohl served at, said, “He actually served to our guests, he came out and was very gracious and took pictures with the people that recognized him…He wanted no glory for it, he was like, ‘I just want to do this for you guys and give back in that way.”
Yesterday, Foo Fighters announced three stand-alone dates in New Hampshire, Arkansas, and Alabama to go along with their busy, festival-heavy summer. Information on all Foo Fighters touring dates can be found here.
One Chicago woman has 2029 circled on her calendar, as it will mark her final time she’ll have to pay for a recent investment. While we would love to applaud a single mother for working hard and having enough money to put a downpayment on a car, her payment structure is horrid. For the next 84 months, she’ll be paying $289 for a car that will be over 30 years by the time she’s doing paying it off. This is one of the most ill-advised tax return purchases we’ve ever seen.
What have you purchased with your tax return? The conversation lives on Facebook!

For the first time since Jane Byrne’s reign as Chicago mayor from 1979-1983, Lori Lightfoot will be a one-term mayor. Lightfoot, who has been atop Chicago’s food train since 2019, finished with 17% of the vote in Tuesday’s election. She conceded on Tuesday evening, giving way to a runoff between Paul Vallas and Brandon Johnson.
A runoff between former head of CPS, Paul Vallas, and Cook County commissioner and former teacher Brandon Johnson, is slated for April 4.
Major delays are coming to the Kennedy Expressway. The Illinois Department of Transportation announced plans to rehab 36 bridge structures between the Edens and Ohio St. The $150 million project is expected to start the week of March 20.
More than 275,000 driveways will face delays as IDOT plans on demolishing bridge decks and then replacing and repairing joints.
Patrick Kane is headed to the New York Rangers. A four time All -Star and 3 time Stanley Cup Champion, Kane spent his entire 15-year career here with the Blackhawks, recording 1,225 points (446 goals, 779 assists) in 1,161 games here in Chicago.
Residents in Lincoln County, Tennessee, are not happy with the environment that Jack Daniel’s has provided. A “sooty” black mold has began covering homes, porches, cars, and more and it’s all thanks to the liquor company’s barrel houses. Resident Patrick Long said, “I’m extremely concerned. My wife has breathing problems. One of the neighbors got cancer…It’s in the air. And you really, probably don’t want to be breathing that in. But nobody has done a test to determine if it’s actually poisonous.”

Time is a cruel mistress. It never stops moving, no matter how bad you want it to. For some Gen Z kids, they are voting in their very first Chicago Mayoral Election and that means there’s a good chance that they were born in 2005. While our instincts tell us that 2005 was only a few years ago, it was, in fact, 18 years ago. The distance between 2005 and now is the same distance as the 70’s and when That 70’s Show actually began.
2005 can be remembered by the White Sox World Series victory, Star Wars III, or the first ever YouTube video, but we like remembering it by the music that came out that year.
For example:
There was also this, from Chicago’s very own:
And we can’t forget about these bangers:

Wendy’s Chili is coming to your local grocery store. After decades of being guarded by their red-headed mascot, Wendy’s has decided to make their addicting pile of meat over-the-counter for the first time ever. Wendy’s joins the likes of Chick-fil-A, who sells their signature sauce in stores, PF Changs, who sell a number of restaurant-related products in stores, and Olive Garden, who bottled up their signature salad dressing for the masses.

Move over, Malort shots. The newest generation of young professionals is drinking something called a “borg” – a Black Out Rage Gallon, that involves alcohol and home appliances. According to Yahoo, the drink can be made by “filling a plastic gallon jug with a half-and-half mixture of vodka and water, plus add-ins like a caffeinated flavor enhancer and/or an electrolyte power mix and/or whatever other type of sweetener the mixologist chooses.”
There are “borg” advocates out there who claim that it is the safest form of college drinking because you can control how much alcohol goes into the container. Others argue that because it is called a “borg”, it simply must be dangerous.
We want to see you drink a borg! Send us your concoction on Facebook!
