City fans talking about feeling betrayed by the owners at this point sound exactly like republican voters crying about having their healthcare taken away. You loved cheering for a slave state obviously cheating for nearly 20 years. Shut the fuck up.

Having lived in Indianapolis for years, just note: The soccer fans are good people, almost down to the individual. Every other person in that state is awful.

Playing career catchup with my peers after spending the better part of a decade trying to make art work full time stinks, but doing it in this economic climate sucks. I know that I’m massively privileged to have had the systems in place necessary to even TRY something nontraditional. Still tired.

Only City supporters I feel for are those from pre-oil money boom. Your average American who only rocks up to the pub on saturday mornings but can’t find a local team to support in person deserves this and I’m relishing it.

I’ve lost my third grandparent this year and I’m really sad and really tired but more than that I’m thankful I had loving, supportive, wise grandparents for as long as I got to have them. Lucky isn’t a strong enough word. If I haven’t been around much, give me little grace. Hug your folks. Love you.

I was really hoping the NWSL was going to be the last bastion of good, old-fashioned soccer team names in The States. Place City FC strikes again!

Like genuine harassment is bad, of course. But if you write something stupid on the internet and it goes viral because its stupid and many people tell you that the thing you wrote on the internet is stupid, that's your fault for writing something stupid on the internet.

I love the USOC more than any other competition in global football. History and legacy are in short supply in American soccer and having over 100 years of history really does add a level of legitimacy.

I wish I had known the good Jimmy Buffett tracks while I was touring. A seven hour overnight drive doesn’t sound too bad when I got some JB to rip with.

Had to wait in a lobby where an errant PC was blaring the Teams Chat notification every couple seconds and it must have felt like what coming home from ‘Nam must have felt like.

I almost wish people actually thought Chicago was scary and dangerous so it’s be a little less fuckin’ busy in the summer. “Please, no, be careful, cloud gate has a Deagle.”

Anyone else consistently optimize the fun out of their video games? I’ve gotten very good at turning these supposedly fun pastimes into part-time jobs. Why am I like this?

“I’d rather be busy so work goes by faster” is a feudal peasant mindset. I, an intellectual, would rather be bored as hell at work and do nothing but stare out the window. If I wasn’t born as a Man of Leisure (my intended station) I’ll cosplay.

Real Chicagoans don’t say “deep dish is for tourists” or “actually, it’s called Cloud Gate” or “I live in West Loop”. Real shicagoans say “I hate the air and water show.”

I’m not sure everyone hates it, but it’s at best remembered as middling. The Brothers Bloom hit me at just the right time in my life. It’s extraordinarily pretty. The acting, especially the sibling dynamic, really hit home. Nathan Johnson’s backyard orchestra score is one of the best of the 2000s.

Finally able to locate a generator, got it running, got the fridge set up, made sure the sump pump was working, ran a line to my work setup. Long fuckin day, really stressful. Took a shower and came back to a flooded basement because one the fuse tripped the moment I wasn’t there. Big cry. Tired.

Just saw a thing where a director talked about taking out sex/nudity because audiences don’t want to see it. Here’s an idea: fuck the audience. I’m the chef & they’ll eat what I serve them and like it. *The audience* knows what they want? Why don’t you let a toddler drive a car next?
