The Dodgers getting to the World Series is the perfect metaphor for our times. Billionaires buy up all the capital, while penalties to keep them in check (the luxury tax) make no difference, they cook the books to lower costs (deferred payments), and most of the world hates them.

This is close to where I live. I’m enraged. Get these ICE motherfuckers out of our communities.

This is some of the most infuriating shit I’ve ever seen.

I’ve been to every big city in this country and then some and none of them compare to Chicago. Would never leave!

Fly the W, by Hot Alice track by Hot Alice

When the Cubs began the 2016 season, my band wrote another anthem in hopes it might propel them to a World Series championship. We’d like to think it worked. Check it out if you’re a fan of bands like Dropkick Murphys. hotalice.bandcamp.com/track/fly-th...

Hegseth is exactly the type of Gen X douchebag whose high school wardrobe was nothing but Co-ed Naked and Bad Boy Club tee shirts.

Super stoked to announce that Allister will be playing next year’s Slam Dunk Festival in Hatfield/Leeds UK. Stacked lineup… can’t wait!

I’m in the Chicago suburbs and have been seeing these all day during Sunday football.

What Bobby McIlvaine Left Behind Bobby McIlvaine was 26 when he died in the attacks. Two decades later, his loved ones are still grappling with the loss.

I re-read this every year on 9/11. I’d encourage you to spend some time with it. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever read. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

A white guy kills another white guy and it’s the HBCUs that receive death threats. The most perfect distillation of America.

Just spent 3 days in NYC on subways and buses and I couldn’t have had a better time. 10/10. Would recommend.

I grew up in the Chicago suburbs and lived for baseball. Still do. Played little league, travel, and high school, almost always at 2nd base. Ryne Sandberg was such a huge influence on me. RIP to a true legend.

The Trump lawsuit against Murdoch and the WSJ should be a prime opportunity to establish a rule that if the president is too busy to answer litigation when he's a defendant, he's simply too busy to initiate a lawsuit.

This argument is so ridiculously disingenuous. Masks were recommended and mandated in some places in 2020 to help stop spreading a disease that killed over 1 million people.

ICE masks’ sole purpose is to hide the identity of government thugs kidnapping community members.

Giving billionaires tax cuts is bad.
Cutting health care for millions is bad. Slashing food assistance for children is very bad.

But throwing billions of dollars to a militarized gestapo to kidnap and imprison people they don’t like is an abomination. We’re not prepared for what will come.

Jaime Pressly once walked up and casually bummed a smoke from me outside of Anaheim House of Blues, said thanks, and continued on her way.

My son graduates from high school next month and the college savings plan I’ve been working so hard to build for him over ten years is imploding. I am fucking enraged.

Got up at 5am to watch Cubs opener from Tokyo. Imanaga was at 69 pitches through 4 with no runs, no hits, 4 walks. He gets taken out of the game and bullpen immediately gives up 3. What’s the point of spring training if starting pitchers aren’t ready to go at least 80-85 pitches by opening day?
