I'm proud of this piece I did highlighting these underappreciated badasses in Des Moines. When I first saw Sepak Takraw it immediately reminded me of Breaking and it wasn't a surprise that some of the best players in the U.S. are in Iowa. littlevillagemag.com/sepak-takraw...

A bit of family lore: my grandfather was an extra on a Jon Wayne movie. Him and his friends were approached by Wayne and crew while they were working. Grandpa thought, who is this big white guy that keeps yapping at me. I wish he woulda decked him #motherfuckJonWayne www.koimoi.com/hollywood-ne...

Being a rap dad is figuring out all the songs/albums/artists you thought were safe that get the ole "parents sharing a stare" moment. What do you mean 3 Feet High and Rising has a skit called De La Orgy that is exactly what it sounds like?

"I’m tired of the convenience of the term “neighbors.” Of self-identified and appointed ally’s getting to speak about the well-being of our community by implementing neighborly talk." I wrote about two wildly different statements regarding ICE in Iowa. chuyrenteria.substack.com/p/a-tale-of-...

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

The more I re-read this AI facsimile of what targeted ads are deducing when they see a photo of my passed out ex-roomate from our college partying days, the more strange gems I pick out. "emotionally inert." "...likely christian, given the setting." etc.

I think it's time we had the discussion of replacing Snoop's place in the cultural zeitgeist with Ice T.

Just in case anyone was wondering if I've always been like this. Yes. The answer is yes. I remember being in junior high and putting hand drawn flyers stating Free Mumia and Leonard Peltier above the school water fountains. I'm sure the janitor pulling them down was like what the heck is this?

I wrote about trying to put my money where my mouth is in terms of finding an alternative to spending said money at the Trump supporting, republican backing, armed guard having, probably price gouging local grocery store. open.substack.com/pub/chuyrent...

I miss MF DOOM. Part of me believes this is his ultimate prestige like trick. Part of me knows the villain has to, eventually, stay down.

Merry Christmas from baby Chuy (check the old school Iowa sweater). I wrote about some select Xmas memories in the latest Substack. Click through to read about how Mexicans celebrate the season and why I think I always get a little melancholy during this time.

I started reading this yesterday; it was so powerful and sad that I couldn't finish it. But I will. Here, high school boys are telling high school girls, "Your body, my choice, forever." Trump has unleashed the worst in about 30% of us. It was always there, but he gave them permission to act.

I wrote about the good (a chess master offering lessons in Iowa City, an 11 year old prodigy in Ames!), the bad (a murder most foul over the board), and the ugly (a bizarre blindfolded "bad boy of chess" breaking records in IA and getting banned from the game.) littlevillagemag.com/peak-iowa-ch...

Randomly heard this today and memories of my brother blasting this while we played the original Metroid on the NES came rushing back. What are some weird song/gameplay match-ups that hit like that for you?

I heard this song on the radio Sunday morning and tried to get my coworkers help me find the name of the tune by recreating the saxophone. Over and over. In other news if a radio station is on spinitron.com you can look up songs you heard at specific times they aired...
