I’m still pissed at the Tribune for endorsing the Libertarian candidate Johnson in 2016 instead of Hillary. They are complicit in the Trumpification of the US.

As a Cardinals fan who lived in Chicago for 25 years, I MUCH preferred going to White Sox games than Cubs games. The Sox fans were more engaged and could hold their liquor better! Cuba games were about getting drunk and being loud.

The arc of the moral universe eventually bends towards justice—and karma is real. It will eventually catch up to people who deserve karmic justice 🌈🙏🏻
