Core memory: That time at a local dive bar when I went to the restroom while the music was playing Sturgill Simpson, and a guy at the urinal yelled, "I bet you don't know who this is!" and I yelled, "Turtles all the way down!" and the guy yelled "STURGILL FUCKING SIMPSON!"

Rest assured that here in Illinois, our LGBTQ+ community can be who they want to be. They are safe here. They are celebrated here. They are welcome here. And they are free to love who they love here. No matter the month, I'll always be an ally in the fight for equality for all.

Went cruising around with some friends tonight. We wound up in the sticks, near a property with skeletons hanging in the trees and hand-painted signs reading "Black Guns Matter" and "Live Free and Kill." Illinois Chainsaw Massacre doesn't have the same resonance, somehow, but it should.

Just cut away from Guy Fieri at the exact best moment: “Diners, drive-ins, and die!” Existential angst Guy Fieri is my favorite Guy Fieri.

Good. I, like all proud working class Americans, have always wanted Kim Jong Un's respect.

I love how Dodge released an ad saying “never stop being American” at the same time the President decided to bomb a Middle Eastern nation for absolutely no reason. Don’t worry, Dodge. Can’t stop/won’t stop.

Why did the Red Sox trade Rafael Devers? Because he became too woke.

Trump throwing a military parade for himself despite never serving in the military is a metaphor for his entire existence.

Americans. Today. Remember. There’s more of you than them. Nothing of value is gained without a fight. Success requires sacrifice. Pineapple does not belong on pizza. The People United Will Never Be Defeated. Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Actions speak louder than words.

What an eventful 30 minutes of my walk: three deer (one tonguing the hell out of some leaves, like a giraffe). Then got into a showdown with a family of geese over who had rights to the road (they did). Then a mystery critter in the ditch beside me. Finally a trio of raccoons on a mission from god.

It's the "kind of evil" that gets me. We've become a Family Guy episode. But, like, Season 12.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Whenever I see a reference to “Sydney Sweeney,” I think it’s about Sweeney Todd, and every time, I am both confused and appalled.

Move to Illinois. We've got the Pope, as well as a governor who cares about human rights and can pour a decent beer. We've also got the Chicago baseball teams, but hey, no one's perfect.

American men should model their masculinity, not after woke professional athletes, but after a billionaire man baby who got the shit beat out of him by his five-year-old son.

I went to dinner at my parents' house tonight, and my dad casually mentioned how we met Rollie Fingers when I was a very young. I'm almost forty and haven't heard this story before. It also may have just been a random mustachioed man in a shoe store in Chicago.

In January, I made a snap decision to reread Stephen King's Dark Tower series, all 8 (yes) books, in chronological order. I've averaged one every 5-6 books so far this year. I'm about to crack open the last one. I am going to cry SO hard. We're talking ugly tears, man.

I always wonder what the end goal is here. Bore me with your self-owns until I block you or lose interest because of how repetitive and unoriginal it is? I try not to lose patience with children.Their brains aren’t fully formed yet.

Snort. This is like a self-own choose your own adventure book. This isn't Twitter; whoever runs this account probably refers to it as X and paid for it (and also has a Truth Social account). I could stoop to pointing out their follower count, but nah. I ain't that mean. Bots are gonna bot.

If you ever wonder if you’re a good person, just remember: some asshole looked around at the world today and said, “You know what we need right now? A Duck Dynasty revival.”

I kind of feel like the media is trying to radicalize us one way or the other, just to get some sort of reaction (like this one!). I mean, whoever signed off on this post is either a nazi (lowercase), a Nazi (uppercase), an asshole, or an idiot. I don't see a fifth option.

We published "Bluegill" by @dwdavis.bsky.social last week at Doric Literary. It takes place in the aftermath of an adulterous affair but the depth of character & clever use of metaphor will have you thinking about the story long after you've finished reading! doric-literary.com/2025/05/15/b...

In this Ohio diner, Air Force One still means an okay movie that would have been great if it had starred Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, or Rob Schneider. But they do know this: Donald Trump should not have to pay any taxes on his $400 million plane because he's currently under routine audit.

Trump has called for an investigation of Bruce Springsteen. Honestly, this feels legit. The Boss is 75 years old and still puts on three hour shows. I’m half that age and can’t get off the couch without my joints popping. Share the secret, Bruce!

I see the MAGA crowd is reacting to the Biden diagnosis with compassion and empathy, as per the teachings of Christ, whom they devoutly follow, and are not frothing at the mouth like a pack of rabid dogs, like the Nazis whom they totally are not.

Best case scenario: Trump supporters actually grow some conviction about literally anything for once, and boycott Walmart, creating a better shopping experience for the rest of us working poor who understand Trump is most definitely not on our side.
