Remember that most horrifying of all Black Mirror episodes? Here it fucking comes.

This is EXACTLY what I said was gonna happen the first time I laid eyes on those little Boston Dynamics shits. Some of ya'll thought those dancing robots were funny, but I straight up hated them from the beginning. Evil, evil, evil. And just wait until police departments arm them.

Good morning from the Purple Line! Still on a science-slut high from last night at the Field Museum - looking forward to carrying it into work. Soundtrack: Yo Yo Ma & The Knights: Osvaldo Golijov: Azul. Soul is a quality, not a genre.

A few more pics from last night. I hadn't been to the Field in YEARS. What a great museum, and what a great night! Getting to chat with members of the team who'd prepared and studied the new Archaeopteryx specimen was simply amazing. Thanks to all involved.

And here's tonight's star. Archaeopteryx is "my" dinosaur. For those not in the know, there are only 13 specimens in the world. I've seen the London specimen (which is headless) and a cast of the Berlin specimen. This one's better. Exquisite. Yeah, I cried a little.

With all due respect to Lesbiandersonville, Cloud Gate, Wrigley Field, and Byron's Hot Dogs... THIS is the best place in Chicago.

Tuesday trans on train! Heading to the Field Museum, suitably attired and bejeweled, for Archaeopteryx Night! Looking forward to comparing my necklace with the real thing. I thought this city couldn't get any cooler, but omg Archaeopteryx Night!!!!🥰🥳

I'd ABSOLUTELY be down for this. As many of my friends would confirm, I do it anyway.

Because he's getting paid by the shedload. Brexit's been good for him.

Beauty, fire, and soul, from Craig Taborn, Tomeka Reid, and Ches Smith. Glorious. And I'm crying again.
