People are so brainwashed about Chicago being a crime infested hellhole that they assume white people and single family homes must be in the burbs. This is in the city.
its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

Yes. RIP Bobby Jenks. 😢
Anyway. Bobby Jenks was on the mound when my favorite team won probably the only championship they’re likely to win in my lifetime.
So, I’ll remember his name until the day I die.
Lots of love to his family.

Back in 1992 I got James Ellroy to sign my copy of WHITE JAZZ and his inscription — “Fear the comedy of the patriarchy on the skids!” — is exactly what we’re experiencing right now. Frightened wanna-be alphas who are lashing out for the lulz.

Sad news. Mike Peters was a good man…
Rock in peace, Mike Peters. First sighted with The Alarm, Dingwalls, 1982, the night Johnny Thunders came on for Sylvain Sylvain's encore. Last connection - the happy and optimistic email he sent me a month ago, still full of life and good feeling. Travel on well, Dude.

You cannot disabuse people of empirically false beliefs that immigrants depress wages or increase crime rates if those beliefs are just functioning as socially acceptable substitutes for “I don’t like seeing a lot of Mexicans around.”
