Dear Midwest, I’ve been in Tokyo for the past week for the @Olympics & I’ve noticed that my instinctual use of “Ope!” is universally understood by Japanese and other nationalities. Language barriers have been broken. 😉 @midwestern_ope

@the_transit_guy I’ve walked across this a few times & was always impressed with how well it works (along with 58,582 other things I love about Japan). Also worth noting, you can leave your bike unlocked & unattended in Tokyo and it very likely won’t get stolen. No other big city like it.❤️

@nathaliejacoby1 Me. (knocks on wood) I had a booster about a month before both my young kids caught it. I was their main caretaker, getting coughed on directly in the face all day for a week. Maybe the booster helped? I’m lucky? Or I was unknowingly infected previously? Wish I knew which.

Went for a ride around the neighborhood. A cop stopped me and said “this area’s closed, they’re shooting down there.” and I immediately thought he meant gunshots. Turns out it’s they’re just shooting a scene for Chicago Med 📺 😂... too much #ChicagoScanner in my feed.

@adam22 Coincidentally, most us wouldn’t be alive right now if we didn’t have vaccines. I can understand some skepticism since this one’s been expedited but many comments just show we’ve been spoiled by the benefits of modern medicine. Same with our clean water supply. All for granted.

@royalpratt @localcelebrity I’m guessing some didn’t see the windshield video. Or the CTA bus driver assault tweets. Ruthless violence towards innocent people is worth demonizing. If you don’t demonize that, it’s just kinda heartless and weird.

BMX street riding is fun and takes quite a bit of dedication, research, risk, persistence, willingness to fail, etc etc. I do it. I love it. It doesn’t, however, make you an elite human being.
