You just put evil into the world

This very much depends on how you define the Midwest. The forests of Michigan and Wisconsin, the plains of Minnesota, the riverolands of the Mississippi, hell, the graveyards of Chicago, all filled with ghosts and spirits and stories.

I could be wrong, but I don't remember a politician being hurt by "didn't serve their term when they promised" as much as "won't pledge a full term." Just lie about it!

One right-wing sexual assaulter, one grifting amoral swindler, both using Christianity to get what they want. Maybe we can combine the two?

A week ago, right before MNF started, I was slightly bummed the Sox didn't win the division, worried we'd lose to Houston yet again, and scared that the Bears season was going to completely fall apart. The intervening week proved a lot of those worries foolish.

It's not funny, it's not provocative, it has the sexuality of a 2005 Maxim photoshoot. It's really incredible how someone, many people, thought it would work.

It is absolutely right and good and proper and just to complain about your team even after a recent championship. But the "nobody understands suffering like us Eagles fans" is really annoying.

I loved this album in the 90s, and whenever I listen to it now am still struck by how damn good it is. One of the few from back then that's still in my semi-regular rotation.

That there is another song with the same name, by an artist with nothing but fame and wealth and who still sings solely about her "haters," is central to the piece.

For the White Sox division series, I wrote about not liking Cleveland, and about music and B-movie actors, fate and luck and life. I't maybe the first baseball article built around a song by @sqrrlflwr.bsky.social, whose new song "Cleveland" is beautiful. www.southsidesox.com/chicago-whit...

I'd say they actually might think The Judge represents their vision of America if I thought any of them really read Blood Meridian.

Decades of my life have gone by, with similar decades to follow, where I have been unable to have or even think of an English muffin without saying this out loud.

I am not in any way defending Eric Schmitt, who is an evil moron, but if I heard that someone voluntarily went to see the Atlanta Hawks in 2023 I'd also think there had to be something fishy going on.

Squirrel Flower also has a new song called "Cleveland" that's really good! They should play that one.

Yeah, he deliberately went through their best hitters. All part of a plan. Right?

The GOP has had it in for Bear Ears for a decade. They hated that Obama designated it; Chaffetz tried to make it a huge scandal. It's unfettered capitalism, yes, but also fierce anti-Native racism. The two are eternally linked in American history.

I have not spent more than 37 total seconds of my life thinking about Case Keenum before this week but now I want to cry I'm so happy for him.

The Bears, at this moment, have three guys who are capable to excellent at playing quarterback. That's three more than during like 95% of franchise history.

You know what? I'm going to be optimistic that Caleb has earned enough goodwill from beating the Packers twice and putting up 59 a few weeks ago that it won't be as bad as ok fuck you're right it's going to be super racist

O'Neill @brianoneill.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

One thing I've started doing -- after owning up to my own failings, ongoing -- is asking friends/others making sexist/misogynist/violent comments to explain the "joke." Why is that funny? I don't get it. Explain the joke. It is unambiguous and makes a clear point, without being too aggressive.

I know these movements are dangerous and their apocalyptic misogyny is in the highest levels of our government but I just have trouble taking anything seriously when your FEATURED SPEAKER is Sean Davis, who 99% of peope have never heard of and half of that 1% just thinks "mommy milky."

Well, except for Vargas, and Mune, and Chase and Anto and probably Vasil and maybe a dozen other guys, he kind of is.
