“We swim in rape culture in the United States to the point where it doesn’t even register anymore. It simply floats by with the rest of the news, barely a blip in our consciousness.”

Everywhere in the world, they hurt little girls

This is a suburban Chicago skeet: Just saw something about Drew Peterson. Reminded me of the time I was at a Walgreens in Naperville, turned a corner, and there as Drew, in all his glory, black Hawaiian shirt and aviators. Looking for all the world like Drew Peterson.

I did my best to corral my thoughts on Cornell into some kind of coherent piece for tomorrow's newsletter. I'm not sure I succeeded. I hope you'll check it out tomorrow and consider subscribing.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

So who are we rooting for tonight? The batshit crazy conspiracy theorist who thinks Dr. Fauci should be in jail, or the prolific sexual predator?

Capital punishment is cruel and unusual punishment and has no place in a civilized nation. But even if you don’t object to it on moral grounds, the number of times we have botched convictions AND executions should be enough to convince you that it should be abolished.

My kid just walked in and said in an Anzellian accent “Cubs no fix. The bwoken.” And I think he may be right.

Babu Frik from Star Wars says “No can’t fix. No no. The broken.”

I'm aggravated by the outrage over the Cornell SA case. Women have been telling the world for decades that this is happening. Instead of being believed, we get harassed, threatened, and doxxed over it. Now (some) people have the gall to be shocked. WE HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU.

Per video shared online, one of the East Side detainments this a.m. involved multiple ICE grabbing 2 men out of a car on 106th and S. Ave. C., with agents repeatedly grabbing one of the men by his head and neck. In the video, he can be heard calling for help and asking an onlooker to call 911.

This is the guy who Substack's founders fell in love with, did podcasts with, and otherwise promoted. I knew those guys some after launching my newsletter, and we chatted sometimes, so I asked them why in the hell they'd do that. They said, basically, all opinions matter. That's when I bailed.

I heard through the grapevine that Sen. Eric Schmitt has 18 staffers on his legislative team: 17 men and one woman. The woman on his staff deals exclusively with foreign policy, which means today's disaster during the hearing was all by conservative men who don't know sports.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”
