White Sox fans deserve nice things, too…I think. We’ve done nothing wrong. We pay our taxes, we pick up trash in our community, and we are generally very nice. Yet, everything good we have gets taken away.
Pour one out for the Southsiders today.

Elon Musk, a man who is addicted to taking L’s, once again raised eyebrows with a tweet he made yesterday. After a long, hard day of destroying a social media platform from within and simping over a former President who rejected his invitation to return to Twitter, Musk’s head hits his pillow every night alongside Diet Coke, a photo of George Washington, and a gun.
We’re all in agreement the amount of caffeine free Diet Coke is the craziest thing about this photo, right?
Musk’s proud-to-be-an-American cosplay does raise the question, however, what is on your bedside table? Please tell us it’s not caffeine free Diet Coke. The conversation lives on Facebook!
For years, millions have stumbled upon the Rainforest Cafe downtown thinking that they are about to score the dankest kush of their entire life. Instead, they were given stale chicken tenders. Now that the Rainforest Cafe is gone, a battle for which dispensary is going to move in is taking shape.
Robert Brown, a neighborhood resident, had asked the board to reject the dispensary’s application, questioning Progressive Treatment Solutions’ role in its partnership with BioPharm to take over the former restaurant site at 605 N. Clark St. Illinois law bars dispensaries from opening within 1,500 feet of an existing weed shop except in the case of ownership by a social equity applicant, a legislative effort to increase minority ownership in the booming industry. Four dispensaries are now operating within 1,500 feet of the proposed shop, and PTS, which initially proposed the plan on its own, without partners, didn’t qualify as a social equity firm.

Beginning December 1, parking in the city gets even more difficult. Designated areas with signs that read “no parking between 3am-7am” will be off limits to drivers in the city, whether it snows or not. Violators will be towed and face a minimum of $150 towing fee, a $60 ticket and a storage fee of $25 per day.
You can visit chicagoshovels.org for a map of streets impacted by the ban and to view the City’s snow plows in real-time during a storm. Drivers can also visit chicagoshovels.org or call 311 to find out if their vehicle was towed due to the ban.
Christmas is in the air and no one knows how to celebrate better than the CTA and their Holiday Fleet. This is the upcoming schedule for the 31st annual holiday celebration,

They’re back! Hot off the heels of a triumphant Lollapalooza headlining set, Metallica is coming back to Chicago to celebrate the release of their new album in 2024. The band will play the round in Soldier Field for two nights, on August 9 and August 11, with each night containing an entirely unique setlist. They will not repeat songs in the cities that they play.

We’re not exactly hunting experts at the Q101 Morning Crew, but we were staggered at the total of dead deer from the first weekend of riffle hunting season. 52,354 deer were “harvested” over the weekend. That is somehow up from 48,964 that were axed at this time last year.
Thanks to our friends at WGN, who have tabulated the deer per county.

Nothing could possibly be more terrifying than what happened on a recent flight out of ORD as a captain in training suffered a fatal heart attack moments after takeoff. Luckily, as this video details, his copilot stepped in and guided the passengers to safety.
Q101 sends our condolences to the captain’s family and friends.
Fellas, hold your lady a little tighter tonight. If you scored tickets to The 1975 at night three of Twisted XMas this year, your girl could soon belong to Matty Healy (which is better than belonging to the streets, we think).
Just remember, you could try as hard as you want, but you’ll never be charming like Matty. Never.
Move over Mrs. Butterworth, capitalism has given us a new character to lust over. Millions tuned into the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for family-friendly entertainment, but were instead greeted by a smut film thanks to the pulsating biceps and thicc calves from Smokey Bear’s balloon.
Which fictional character are you crushing on? The conversation lives on Facebook!
Just remember, you could always be dumber. A Florida woman is taking legal action against the proprietors of those glorious cheese shells because she feels like the instructions printed alongside the mac & cheese don’t live up to their end of the deal. Amanda Ramirez claims the statement on the bottom left-hand corner of the box that notes the product is “ready in 3½ minutes” is false and misleading because the product takes longer. The directions on the back of the package detail four steps in preparing the macaroni and cheese, and the lawsuit says that one of the steps, microwaving the food, takes 3 1/2 minutes.
Per KIRO 7, “She accuses the company of violating state and federal laws against deceptive and unfair trade practices, fraud, false and misleading advertising, breach of express warranty, negligent misrepresentation and unjust enrichment, according to the newspaper.”
Now let’s all take a moment of silence and think of the lawyer that spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in law school and now has to defend mac & cheese instructions in a court of law.
Chevy Chase will reprise one of his most beloved characters this week in the Chicagoland area.
The actor will appear as Clark Griswold at a Raising Cane’s restaurant in Morton Grove to fire up more than 13,000 Christmas lights, in a nod to a scene from the 1989 classic National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.
The event happens this Tuesday [11.29.22] at 5PM — Patch has got you covered on the rest of the particulars.

A man who looks like he’d be really into energy drinks and leaving hateful comments towards women on the Internet is finding out that downing a dozen energy drinks in mere minutes is very bad for your body. The Pokemon-enthusiast hit the Red Bull hard, then followed up the onslaught of energy drinks with a shot of liquor, which caused him to vomit. It was at this moment that he knew he f*cked up.
His pancreas began to “digest itself”, which is the single scariest thing I could possibly imagine. Somehow, it was only after this that he had a “wake-up call” for his lifestyle. The fluid build-up became infected, according to Dr. Bernard Hsu, and his liver and kidneys started to shut down. Doctors treated the unnamed gamer, who reportedly vomited on a nurse’s shoes, with IV fluids and antibiotics before releasing him, Hsu said.
It has been four years since Taylor Swift last since hit the road for a full-blown tour. In that time, Taylor Swift as an entity has taken on an entirely new meaning. She recorded “Taylor’s Version” songs, made her voice heard on the political front, and owned the charts in an unprecedented way with Folklore, Evermore, and now Midnights in the last couple of years.
Due to Taylor Swift, The Brand, being what it is, Ticketmaster received an unprecedented amount of traffic for her “Eras Tour”. More than two million tickets were sold during verified presale on Tuesday, with roughly 3.5 million signing up to get in on the action.
Taylor Swift will be playing Soldier Field from June 2-4 with Girl in Red, MUNA, and others.
Ticketmaster has no plan for how to unload the remaining Swift tickets, but when they are made available, they will go fast.
