In case if “your friend” ever needs it (wink wink). I would still call dibbs on parking spots this winter- but this is your last resort. You. Are. Welcome.
20 years ago, the fabric of our country changed forever. At 8:46 a.m., a commercial jet crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Twenty minutes later, a second plane crashed into the South Tower and whatever confusion there was was quickly erased from the minds of Americans. We were under attack. 2,996 people lost their lives in a senseless attack that altered the mindset of every American going forward.
As the towers fell, America rose up together as one. Two decades later, as our country battles division amongst one another, it is crucial that we remember the sense of community that we felt immediately following the attacks. Going forward, let us never forget the attacks on our country, and let us remember the sense of unity and pride that we carried with us in the immediate aftermath.

According to some researchers, too much free time can be bad for you. I know, I’m not buying it either, but hear me out. They say more than 5 hours of free time is as bad for your well-being as not having enough. If you’re not being productive or feel like you have a purpose, then you’re bored and thus feel sad.
The study used 35,000 people and featured questionnaires with “subjective well-being.” Researchers say that there’s a sweet spot of a moderate amount of free time. Too little makes people feel like they can’t relax or get things done that they want to get done. Too much is associated with lack of purpose. So, overall, make sure you have at least two hours of free time. TWO!!
To commemorate 20 years since September 11, 2001, there are numerous celebrations going on in Chicagoland this weekend.
More events and a full list of memorial services can be found here.
It’s a busy weekend in Chicago as we head into the fall season. Here’s just a few of the things that you can do in the city this weekend.
Whew! That was a close one. Whether you drunk DM people you don’t know or you just don’t want an old message to be re-read over and over- possibly in court- then “vanishing mode” on Instagram is for YOU!
Here are the steps to get it going:
Now, the person still has to read it, but at least they might forget it- or won’t have proof.

Facebook’s never ending attempt to gather every last bit of data it can from you might have you wondering if this is real life or are we in an episode of Black Mirror? Facebook teamed up with Ray-Ban to release Ray-Ban stories, sunglasses that can record video, play audio, and basically put Facebook on your..well..face. Now on one hand it could be nice to go to a concert and not have to see a bunch of cell phones in the air recording instead of rocking out, but on the other hand, do you really want anyone knowing where your eyes are at all times? Not me asleep during the last promo meeting…oh yeah..run back the tape! BUSTED.

Legos might be the BEST kids toy. You learn how to follow directions, build cool things like houses and beach… houses, and it teaches you to clean up because stepping on those bad boys is hell.
One mother and son built something pretty rad though- check out this functioning Lego record player… just don’t step on it.

In 2020, Bumble had over 100 million users. Now, if you’re not in the dating game, or for some reason you don’t know how the dating app Bumble works- it’s like this- a woman and a man match, then SHE has to message him first. The idea is to give the power to the woman, because females can feel overwhelmed by dudes on dating apps. It’s my understanding that most people go into Bumble knowing this, but it’s 2021 so here we go…
Now, someone (a dude on Bumble) felt discriminated against and filed a class action lawsuit. If it goes through fellas, you could be owed some moola! $32 to be exact… paid in Super Swipes… 29 of them… so… you’re welcome. The hearing is Oct. 7th, 2021.
THEY’RE YOUR SWIPES, AND YOU WANT THEM NOW!!!

Hey, we’ve all been here before, haven’t we?
Sometimes landlords just work on a different stratosphere than the rest of us. What this landlord did to a woman in Texas is truly mind-blowing.

You couldn’t just scrape it off the wall! Why would you paint over this?

Twix now officially has our attention. The chocolate-caramel candy bar is now being packaged as a seasoning for anyone bored enough with life to dump chocolate flakes on their meat. The bottle of the concoction dubbed “Twix Shakers” suggests it’s an ideal topping for sweet treats like ice cream and milkshakes, but the candy brand claims it’s also an ideal way to take on chicken wings.

What food should be turned into seasoning? The conversation lives on Facebook!
A woman in Texas realized that her landlord painted the walls a nice fresh, white, but unfortunately they painted over a dead cockroach that’s now mummified on the wall. The woman, Chelsea, tweeted a pic of the dead insect and the internet had their fun with photoshop…
Perhaps you’ve been feeling abandoned since 2002 when Steve left Blues Clues. We wouldn’t blame you if this kickstarted the abandonment issues that you’re still dealing with today. The good news is that unlike your exes, Steve has come back. Listen to what he has to say.
So about that time Steve went off to college… #BluesClues25 pic.twitter.com/O8NOM2eRjy

Whatever it is you’re doing, it’s working!
I think this is when you realize you might have a problem.

Tame Impala crushed last night at the United Center on the first stop of their US tour. From the opening trippy vignette to the transformation of the UC to a planetarium laser light show, Tame Impala proved once and for all they are worthy of arena headlining shows. Check out a few of my pics from the show below, and make sure you go see them if you ever get the chance. Seriously 10/10. -Manley
Join Brian, Ali, & Justin on Friday at the NBC Tower at 11:00am as we pay tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001. We will be dumping nearly 3,000 white rose petals into the Chicago River in honor of those that passed away 20 years ago on that fateful day.
