Kenosha’s police department is reminding people that the phrase:
“Ain’t no laws when you’re drinking Claws”, does not exempt you from obeying the law.
They posted a photo to remind you that even when you’re drinking White Claws, you still have to obey the law.

MTV just released the first look into their new docu-series Ghosted: Love Gone Missing.
The show is hosted by The Bachelorette star Rachel Lindsay and artist Travis Mills, who help individuals get some closure by tracking down and confronting the people who “ghosted” them.
“Ghosting”, for those who may not know, is a common tactic used to end a relationship—typically of the romantic variety—by abruptly ignoring or cutting off all communication without explanation
What’s gotten people upset more than anything is how close this is to stalking. The hosts basically have to track down the ‘ghost’ with any lead they can find. That’s getting close to stalking and many people on twitter think so.
Could you imagine someone leaving behind a toxic relationship/friendship, healing, and then an MTV camera crew shows up in your face with that person. That would be super traumatizing for a lot of people

Yes! Let me have a major entertainment channel and all its resources to assist me in nationally exposing the person who suddenly cut off my online advances despite my texting and emailing each and every hour for six months. #Ghosted

If you’re the kind of person who tracks down someone that ghosted you, you’re the reason people feel the need to ghost to protect themselves in the first place. pic.twitter.com/XDedEThIbC

Everyone I #Ghosted was because they are toxic and were harmful to me. If @MTV gives someone I didn’t want around me , access to me, I’m fighting the cameraman and the producers. https://t.co/TyY6T3oNHO

Tracking down the person who ghosted you and forcing them to explain why — what could go wrong?
Looks like karma got back at this mugger when he tried to attack a Chicago woman.
But what he didn’t know was that this woman, Claire Quinn, was a Golden Gloves champion. Who has a 6-0 fighting record and had won the majority of her fights by knock out
When Quinn was on her way to Unanimous Boxing to meet her trainer, a teen stopped her to ask directions but then a man came up and threw her on the ground.
Her instincts kicked in quickly and she started fighting back while still on the ground. Seeing that she was unable to get a clean shot to the man’s head she went for the next best thing, the groin. It took about 15 seconds of her hitting the man in the groin multiple times for him to run off.
The slam to the ground did leave her with a mild concussion so she did have to pull out of a match she had for the weekend.
But he trainer, Trinidad Garcia, is proud of how she handled herself. Quinn is currently in Florida visiting family and getting some rest.
Unfortunately, the police don’t have anyone in custody but they do believe there were three people in the attack; the distracting teen, the attacker, and the getaway driver.
Still, she got them away in 15 seconds. Don’t mess with a champ.

Yes, it’s just takes a single tweet from a beloved alterantive band to tease a seismic planet-moving collaboration of two audible super powers. Cage the Elephant asked the world on Twitter if they want to the beloved band collaborate with the ‘Bad Guy’, Billie Eillish. Hundreds of people retweeted the tease, and just like us they want it now please!
Who wants a @CageTheElephant x @billieeilish collab?
— Cage The Elephant (@CageTheElephant) August 22, 2019
What would the combo band be called? Cage the Billie or Eillish the Elephant?

The news came out today that the next James Bond film which will be the last to star Daniel Craig in the titular role will be called ‘007: No Time to Die’. Yeah, it’s another silly spin of words involving the secret agent ass-kicker’s life that is filled action, love, danger, chaos, and death. Plenty of the reaction to the new title for the 25th film in the long running franchise has been to mock it as it seems to note Craig’s long run with the character and his age, but it will probably be fun so who really care? Mandatory has a very entertaining read off 15 alternate titles, because I am cut from the same smart ass cloth here some ideas of my own Bond adventure.
007: License to Ill (it’s a crossover musical with the Beastie Boys!)
007: Retirement Fund
007: International Man of I have had too many
007 Goldeneye for Nintendo 64: The Movie (it’s just big head mode on the big screen)
007: Too Old To Care
It seems that YouTube has been removing hundreds of videos showing robots battling other robots.
Why?
Well, their new algorithm is claiming it’s a breach in their rules surrounding animal cruelty.
Channels that post robot combat videos have noticed their content being removed and were not happy about it
Hey @YouTube, your new algorithm is removing robot combat videos (akin to Robot Wars, Battlebots etc) under the pretence of animal cruelty, animal fighting and such. A lot of independent content creators are losing out here. Please fix/restore for the sanity of fans and builders!
— Caley Creations (@CaleyCreations) August 20, 2019
YouTube sent out notices explaining why the videos were in breach of the community guidelines, specifically citing the same section of the guidelines in each notice:
“Content that displays the deliberate infliction of animal suffering or the forcing of animals to fight is not allowed on YouTube.”
“Examples include, but are not limited to, dogfighting and cockfighting.” But this is robot fighting.
YouTube says that the videos were likely removed in error.
Seems like theirs an error in their new algorithm.
Own the residence of “Game of Thrones” author George R.R. Martin!
Granted it’s been a few years since he’s lived in the Uptown apartment… He was living here from 1971-1975 after graduating from Northwestern University with his master’s degree.
The “Game of Thrones” creator joked about how he shared the unit with five roommates, and at one point even having a bed in the dining room and back porch.
Back when Martin rented out the apartment he only had to pay $150 a month. Now the three-bedroom, two-bathroom 1,800 square feet North Side unit built in 1915 is listed $354,900, with another $12,500 in homeowner association fees and taxes each year.
The realtor company is hosting a GOT-themed open house Saturday from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Keanu Reeves and Lana Wachowski are returning to the world of “The Matrix”!
Reeves will be reprising his role as Neo, and Carrie-Anne Moss will return as Trinity. Lana Wachowski is set to write and direct a fourth film set in the world of “The Matrix,”
She also commented on some of the ideas they once had for “The Matrix” and how they are more relevant to our reality now.
Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairmen Toby Emmerich said hon Tuesday how the fourth movie was in the works.
Can you believe the first film hit theaters 20 years ago? Do you think it will still be the same 20 years later?
No release date has been set… yet.
A short story, as told by @blink182 pic.twitter.com/Yf977qA9TM

Yes, this is weird, awkward but it’s genuinely hilarious.
Comedian Buddy Anthony Diaz used Blink-182 descriptive lyrics to have awkward exchange with himself in this instant hit of a video. Don’t call it a Tik Tok, just call it funny.
Blink will rule over Douglas Park with Riot Fest next month, enter to win tickets here.
Blink has always had a sense of humor, always down to poke fun at themselves like when Mark Hoppus told bass players to stop looking bored on stage with College Humor.

My head hurts so, so very much. Last month, marine units from both the Chicago Police Department and Chicago Fire Department had to respond to the Playpen area of Lake Michigan for a person hit with a projectile thrown from boat-to-boat that hit an adult in the chest.
The projectile? A pink water balloon.
The Sun-Times details and provides the official police report for the biggest waste of time and resources — ever. And this is a 54 year old man we’re talking about! Instead of 9-1-1, I feel like a lot of our problems would be solved with a toll-free hotline for advice on how to adult. — [eric]

Tom DeLonge released a new music video today from his Angels & Airwaves project — which he said would be a better band to play for aliens than Blink-182, to prevent interplanetary war. Angels & Airwaves have a sold out date next month at House of Blues that you can maybe win free tickets for — plus they teased a few, but not ALL dates for a December run. Could we see a repeat Chicago performance? We shall see. — [eric]

Indiana state trooper, Stephen Wheeles, had just finished working the state fair when his patrol car was hit by a dirty diaper. The diaper flew from the car in front of him while traveling down the highway, hitting his car and rolling underneath it.
Wheeles pulled the car over and found a man in the backseat with a baby. The passenger wouldn’t admit to throwing the diaper out the window saying it “flew out when he opened the window.”
It was a nice try, but Wheeles gave the passenger a ticket for littering.
Planning to hop a flight this Labor Day holiday? You might want to get to the airport a bit earlier than normal. According to a trade group representing US-based airlines, 17.5 million passengers are expected to travel between August 28 and September 3, a four percent increase from last year.
Keep this in mind: Friday, August 30 will see the largest crowds, with close to three million taking to the friendly skies, said Airlines for America on Tuesday.
Thanks to fares at or near record lows, demand for travel is strong, Department of Transportation figures show.
Let’s start at the beginning of this Twitter battle between fast-food brands.
Chick-fil-A and Popeyes started the sandwich debate on Monday when Popeyes subtweeted Chick-fil-A with a retweet of their own post.
… y’all good? https://t.co/lPaTFXfnyP
— Popeyes Chicken (@PopeyesChicken) August 19, 2019
Popeyes recently released a new chicken sandwich that has topping similar to Chick-fil-A’s iconic original sandwich. Some people are saying the new sandwich is superior to Chick-fil-A’s original chicken sandwich, hence the debate.
Then Wendy’s decided to get into the feud with a subtweet.
Y’all out here fighting about which of these fools has the second best chicken sandwich. pic.twitter.com/4v9RJFgy0T
— WENDY’S SPICY NUGGETS ARE BACK!!! (@Wendys) August 19, 2019
Which had Popeyes and Wendy’s going back and forth in a little spat.
Sounds like someone just ate one of our biscuits. Cause y’all looking thirsty. https://t.co/89eqI5vk2z
— Popeyes Chicken (@PopeyesChicken) August 20, 2019
lol, guess that means the food’s as dry as the jokes https://t.co/aX3XnRunNW
— WENDY’S SPICY NUGGETS ARE BACK!!! (@Wendys) August 20, 2019
Popeyes even used a Tweet from Carter Wilkerson, nuggsforcarter.com, to come after Wendy’s.
. @Wendys even Carter wants you to stop https://t.co/4nMbAVFU3z
— Popeyes Chicken (@PopeyesChicken) August 20, 2019
Which backfired…
lol, it literally took you three times to even properly format a tweet. It’s been a big day, it’s ok to logoff. pic.twitter.com/11BoWi0e50
— WENDY’S SPICY NUGGETS ARE BACK!!! (@Wendys) August 20, 2019
Then there are the other chains who tried to jump in on how they had the “superior chicken sandwich”.

A family in Wisconsin had a small surprise when it came dinnertime.
Twitter user Karlie Allen posted a video of a live frog that was found in her boxed salad mix.

I guess bet that frogs been though a lot, it’s been stuck in the box!
Thankfully the company Simple Truth got back to Karlie after this interesting find in your salad.
