I just can’t get over the ridiculousness of this… Drake, a rapper, is pissed at another rapper named Kendrick Lamar because the latter’s new album contains a so-called “diss track” about the former.

Today marks the 33rd anniversary of the deaths of vocalist Freddie Mercury of Queen and drummer Eric Carr of KISS. It’s strange because while I mourned their deaths as I learned about them, my brain didn’t register until the last few years that they died on the exact same date.

Let’s mark it, folks. November 21 is the first actual and measurable snowfall in Chicagoland for 2024.

I’m never going to be able to look at the names of the NHL’s Nashville Predators and Edmonton Oilers the same way again after this…

An interesting box of Reese’s Puffs caught my eye on the shelf at Walmart. Angel Reese on Reese’s Puffs? Oh heck yeah! It’s a match made in marketing heaven.

The stress. The MFing stress of this whole waiting and watching crap. It’s enough to make you go…

That is all.

Damn right I did! And if you didn’t, you have no right to complain about anything that happens down the line that you don’t like.

The New York Yankees are aware that a World Series is being played right now, aren’t they? And that they are one of the two teams playing in it?

It’s a nice day for a bunch of Snippets. It’s a nice day to start again!!!

Why are political polls a thing?

If you’ve been on my social accounts, you’ve likely seen these already, but I’m gonna post them here as well because they’re cool and I was blown away and I own this site so you play by my rules. Ha.

I saw something unexpected yesterday… a woman walking up my street pushing a laundry hamper sized wheeled cart full of packages. She was wearing an Amazon uniform.

You can say whatever you want in support of some of organized sports most dramatic plays – home runs, grand slams, hat tricks, alley-oops, windmill kicks, quarterback sneaks, fakes, rope-a-dopes, etc. – there is almost nothing sexier to me in all of sports than a perfectly executed triple play.

For the last three or four years, you could not escape the Foo Fighters, no matter how hard you tried. It was a combination of many factors...

Holy crap! Israel allegedly loaded explosives into pagers and handheld radios before they were shipped to Hezbollah agents in Lebanon?? And then remotely detonated them? 

Well, it’s time for the Shit Show.

I got the news alert this afternoon that legendary actor and voiceover performer James Earl Jones passed away at the age of 93.

Mine and Katie’s Northern Illinois Huskies football team won their game today.

A chance to chart a new way forward, not as members of any one party or faction, but as Americans,” Democratic Party Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris said during her speech at the DNC yesterday.

Y’all know what TopGolf is, right? It’s a nationwide chain of outdoor golf driving ranges that are set up as two-story buildings and they host events and parties and all that jazz.

Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota, eh? This could be interesting.

U.S. Men’s Gymnastics Team Pommel Horse champion Stephen Nedoroscik is clearly my hero of these Olympic Games.

So there’s a MLB catcher named Danny Jansen who was recently traded from the Toronto Blue Jays to the Boston Red Sox. What’s really cool is that this dude is about to become the first MLB player to play for both teams in the same game.

OLYMPICS!!!

That is all.

$81M in the 24 hours since Biden endorsed her?

President Joe Biden stepping back from a re-election bid should come as no surprise. Given his age and his issues with live speaking, nope, no surprise.

A little late to the game, aren't we, Time? Sheesh.

My favorite band, Japandroids, which has been on hiatus since around 2018, just announced their new album, Fate & Alcohol, will be released on October 18, 2024. They dropped the first single as well, “Chicago,” a title I wholly approve.
