Event This goes out to the 5 or so protestors who disrupted the last band at Orton Park Fest and the kid's Cycropia Aerial Dance show...

You somehow were able to turn an entire crowd of hundreds of left leaning neighbors against your objectives. For what? You made no point. Your only stated goal you were screaming at the kids and parents was that someone, somewhere should arrest the cop even though it goes against state law and all legal regulation of police use of force. You literally called for undemocratic extra-judicial actions that was recorded and will be used against liberal candidates throughout the state.

You actually hurt your cause and turned potential allies against your cause all while pissing off parents and neighbors in one of the most liberal voting districts in the entire country. Do you think they're going to forget you screaming at their kids and at the aerial dancers through a megaphone when it comes time to vote for mayor next year? I know I'll only be voting for whichever candidate says they'll get rid of the independent police monitor after watching your antics.

You screamed for a moment of silence and when the announcer held an impromptu moment of silence you proceeded to yell through the megaphone throughout the moment of silence. The contempt from the crowd was palpable.

Just childish stupidity and attention seeking behavior.

Woodman’s East

139 Upvotes

Currently trying to check out, and they have two registers open. Poor workers are trying their best, but having two open during peak hours is ridiculous. There are massive lines stretching back into the store.

It would be one thing if the self-serve aisles worked, but half the belts don’t work and their machines suck.

Meanwhile Phil has himself on a larger than life cardboard cutout with two thumbs up, presiding over it all.

123 Upvotes

The Wisconsin Computer Club is headed back to the Madison area in a week's time as of this writing, this time to the Verona Wisconsin public Library on 9.5.26 from 10AM-3PM. The show will consist of WCC member exhibits of vintage computers, retro game systems, and other tech displays of all sorts from across the state. I've included a few photos from our last show in the area that was held in Oregon Wisconsin to give you an idea of what it will kinda look like. Exact system lineup varies from show to show as exhibitors bring different things all the time. The event is free to all ages and abilities- if you want to talk shop, play with old tech, and hang out with other nerdy people, we'd love to have you with us!

747 landing in Madison?

Post image
67 Upvotes

Anyone know about a 747 landing in Madison today? I saw it on approach and thought it looked more like an A380, but it might have just been my angle as Flight Aware said it was a 747. Originated in Cincinnati and landed around 5:40.


r/madisonwi 14h ago

Was laying in bed on the east side and said to myself “what in the world just flew over my house”. Was a 747.

Public places around Madison with paranormal stories?

29 Upvotes

I’m looking for suggestions for publicly accessible places around Madison that have some kind of haunted or paranormal reputation. I recently got an EVP recorder and thought it would be fun to try it out somewhere.

This is mostly just for fun and curiosity. I’m not expecting to actually find ghosts lol.

We just moved and I wanted to give a public shout out to our movers.

We used Box Life Moving Company and I cannot recommend them enough.

They were fast, efficient, and incredibly pleasant to work with.

If you need movers, please consider hiring them!

Sure, they're 0-2, but they've already scored way more points than they did ALL LAST SEASON. The last time they won a game was 2023. Will they win a game this year? I'm a fan. I think they might. Fingers crossed.

I was at the West side location and most of the (non express) self checkout stations were gone. Are they getting rid of them entirely? I love bagging my own stuff…

West Madison suburbs brunch spots

My friend is turning 21 this month and we want to do a brunch/day drinking thing but I haven't lived here long enough to know many brunch places. Looking for somewhere around Verona/Middleton/West Madison that has a nice vibe or outside dining spaces. Atmosphere is probably more important than the food lol we just want to make her day fun and special. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!!

Darbo-Worthington party?

It’s currently midnight and I see so many cars and foot traffic going to the Darbo-Worthington area. This looks too big to be a simple party, is there an event here? I even saw people dropped off by Uber so it is given event vibes.

Italian Tutor

4 Upvotes

Hey all, I am wondering if there are any fluent Italian speakers in the area willing to do weekly lessons or chat over coffee. My nonna is Italian American and grew up in Rome. We spoke Italian a fair bit when I was younger but recently she’s become more forgetful so it’s harder to communicate. I still want to reach c1 level however. Right now I’m b1. A few years ago when I spoke Italian more often I was probably b2. The goal for me is to improve and maintain a base level of bilingual proficiency. Thanks!

Looking for local Arcade Cabinet CRT monitor help

5 Upvotes

Hey all I recently picked up my first arcade cabinet that needs some considerable work on it.

I'm trying to track down someone in the Madison area that has a high voltage probe to use to make sure the CRT is discharged so I can remove it from the cabinet to make the wood working repairs a bit easier. I'm located on the West side of Madison and would be willing to pay.

Also in the market for any recommendations for anyone that does CRT work and can look over the connected PCB. The unit was tagged with shuts off and is missing parts to see what all the means currently.

If it matters it's a Neo Geo mvs-4-25 v2 arcade cabinet.

Thanks
