The Chicago Sky giving away Angel Reese to the Dream should’ve resulted in everyone in the organization being launched into the sun.

Probably some of my best lyrics. Channeled a lot of Hot Mulligan into this one.

The Western States got a grant from the Montana Arts Council to purchase an interface, computer, and Logic Pro to record an EP. A lot of life/lame shit happened and it’s taken over 3 years to get to this point but(!) I am very stoked to be sharing a song from those recordings soon…

Lanterns is so good. I think people need to approach DC adaptations like they would a graphic novel. If this were a one shot series, count me in. Love the casting and love this mystery.

Macklemore might be one of the only genuine mainstream musicians out there. I don’t know many of his songs, but he stands up for what he believes in. You can’t say that about most people. You either stand for something, or you’re nothing. Solidarity forever! #FreePalestine

I hate football, but goddamn Caleb Williams is fucking awesome. I blame all my Bulls podcasts for this, and for getting stuck at O'Hare after last year's Larry Arms WOX, when they almost beat Green Bay and the whole airport was invested in the game. The ol curse of Chicago sports!!!

If the maintenance guy said he was coming over at 3:30, at what time should I assume he’s not coming or is dead? This guy is really old and really sucks at his “job.” I have no clue whether this is his job or he does it for his friend whose sister owns our house. Anyway, this shit is annoying.

Got all of the mastered tracks back for (what is for now) the last Western States album. It took like 3 years longer than it should’ve but I am so proud of it! Not bad for recording it in a garage all by ourselves. Now to figure out if anyone wants to release it and the first single!

“Lookers” by the Menzingers was a song that when I first heard it, thought “oh shit, these guys are about to blow the fuck up!” Such a good song but it’s been almost a decade and it they’ve never topped it, unfortunately.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

Dolly was probably the best example of what people with a lot of money could be if they weren’t greedy pricks. RIP to a true hero.

When I think about trans people in sports, I don’t think about lobbies or legislation. I think about my friends. Wrote about pick-up hoops, queer community and love:

Column: When I think about transgender people in sports, I think about my friends
Despite the rabid fixation upon the concept of trans women in sports, those who beat the drum the loudest for exclusive policies rarely seem to care about trans people themselves.

It’s an exciting feeling (but also kinda weird) that I won’t be going back to Montana for a long, long time. I’m only 6 hours away from my new home and I’m so stoked to never drive a giant 26’ truck ever again.

Chicago is throwing one hell of a party for All-Star weekend. It’s too bad the Sky couldn’t get an invite. Wrote about the contradiction of the hosts not having an All-Star — and what it tells us about priorities within the team’s ownership.

Today I thought of an idea for one of those shirts that dads get for Father’s Day. It would read: They call me a Dada Center because I - Chug a lot of water (aka beers) - Make shitty art (aka music with my band) - Always give you the wrong answer (aka go ask your mother)

I think The Odyssey should have had a culturally appropriate cast IE all Greek IE every character played by Jason Mantzoukas.
