I mean the White Sox bats are hot but I did not see them chasing Hunter Brown out of the game in the 1st inning.

sorry it's impossible for me to see Case Keenum without thinking of the drawing the NFL tweeted on the day of the 2018 conference championships

The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

I knew the second I saw that viral clip of the mom and dad at the baseball game that the internet’s insane parasocial contextless gut reaction to it was going to end up being wildly wrong. I really really hate how people just don’t give a shit about being kind or thoughtful anymore on the internet.

I’m told JRAD was just busking Help Slip Franklin in the street after their Pier 17 shows were canceled. Everyone in NYC has pivoted to Karina Rykman album release throwdown at Webster Hall. Never a shortage of options in New York.

This is always a welcome take. The lyric is terrible but a great reminder of how epically rock n roll the Joan Jett original is. You know what’s even worse? The Zac Brown NBC Sunday Night Baseball theme which uses the same “waiting all day” motif and riffs on Emerson, Lake and Palmer 🙄

Digging into a certain type of sound with a string of new releases. Arab Strap, a blast from the millennial past. Always thought their name was a play on the Belle & Sebastian album/song. But no, it’s some kind of cock ring.

Per @aldknudsen.bsky.social’s latest update, the Cortland Bridge rehab project is in limbo. Seems like restoration may no longer be an option. Figure it out and make it happen already, City of Chicago!

Update on the Cortland Street Bridge Closure
The Cortland Street Bridge has been closed to vehicles since last September — and what was originally intended to be a rehabilitation project has turned into something murkier. Built in 1902, the bridge has areas that are hard to inspect by modern standards, and CDOT's closer look during construction uncovered structural problems well beyond the original scope. It can't safely carry vehicles right now, and CDOT is still conducting an engineering review. Pedestrian and bike access remains open.

CTA drama (signal problems at Howard, they say) means I had to exit the Purple line at Wilson and Lime scooter west in the Leland bikeway to Ravenswood Metra. Not ideal but my timing is impeccable.
