I don't know why, but Lowes doing Roll Out by Luda for their spring advertising campaign is grinding it in that I'm old and the target of all the ads targeting Olds more than other campaigns have.

I've long believed every reach contest will get a strong Dem candidate because the stakes are high and Trump keeps tilting the environment against him. Liberation Day. MOAR Tariffs after SCOTUS. Measles. Cutting SNAP and Healthcare, etc. But Iraq 2.0 is going to really supercharge things.

This is a stupid idea today, was a stupid idea before, and will be a stupid idea in the future. If you really want to change things for the better, here is the way forward: Kill primaries as we know them. They suck and nobody likes them anyway. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/08/14/o...

Thomas C. Bowen: Why ranked choice is the best cure for gerrymandering

Independently drawn maps will have no effect on the deep political divisions we face in Illinois and across our country today.

Jesus @scotttkennedy.bsky.social that last 50 seconds of the PP with Nazar, Rinzel and Bedard on ice all at the same time was a glimpse into an exciting future.

Holy sh*t balls. I have never seen the hourly day ahead price that high before in Chicago.

Did you see Annie Agar's video on that? "What did you expect from the Cowboys of the AFC?" My goodness, I just about split a side.

So if Copilot can do NFL Draft now, are the Bears finally going to be screw up proof?

We are all getting ratf*&ked tomorrow on our power bills in Chicago.

Great season, first time I can recall being emotionally invested in the Bears since 2005. It also reminded me that big moments foreshadow bigger ones.

Jonathan Toews has point No. 900! 🚨 He became the fifth player from the 2006 #NHLDraft class to reach the mark, following Claude Giroux (1,148), Nicklas Backstrom (1,033), Brad Marchand (1,026) and Phil Kessel (992). #NHLStats Tune in 🌎: www.nhl.com

Bears fans, under no circumstances, will subsidize a stadium for a team worth 8 billion dollars. Especially when they still owe 500 million on the last one. If any legislators voted for that, they would be tossed out. Said legislators have explained this to the Bears. Which is why this was stupid.

Hell of a recollection. I wouldn't even have know how to search that except "emergency backup goalie Blackhawks."

Maybe Canada should call Connor Bedard to see if he wants to play goalie....

Why are there no editors in podcasts? Why do you people keep making these things longer and longer. JFC, we all can't speed these things up anymore. Hire editors!

We all knew Bertuzzi was going to be a forty goal scorer, didn't we.

That concludes the most entertaining season of Chicago Bears football I can ever remember. The 2005 season ranks close, but you expected wins with that defense. This season? No idea what's happening every week. Yet we win division and have 2 seed? Totally insane! And entertaining.

It's interesting how much Washington, D.C. think Marco Rubio gets away with tricking Trump into doing because there's just no way in hell El Iraq Dos.Cero is going to be popular with Independents and Republicans. This is an insane move.

This game is nothing if not entertaining. Or maddening. Both.

Super duper early, but kinda excited to watch this kid keep shooting.

Passed a universal health care expansion that mostly benefits the poor, raised taxes on the rich, cut defense spending. He was pretty liberal, he was just very good at not being a dick about it.

What a dagger of a few minute stretch there for LA. Spencer Knight almost gives away two goals with bad passes and then the Hawks get a goal in the last thirty seconds.

I've said this before and I'll find any chance I can to say it again and again and again. That Pope Chicago Bob is not only a Sox fan, but a real one is one of the unexpected delights of my sports life. chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

White Sox co-owner Justin Ishbia meets Pope Leo XIV — and invites him to throw first pitch at new stadium

The team's possible future chairman told the Sun-Times he asked their most famous fan "to bless the stadium" that Ishbia hopes to help bring to the South Side.

That is funny and I had to post it here to make sure @scotttkennedy.bsky.social enjoyed.
