Went to the barn yesterday as the Blackhawks hosted the Boston Bruins. Also a night dedicated to the “Banner Years” with features of that stretch & nearly 30 players from those teams . A real treat for the fans. After 2quick Chicago goals I joked we could leave, get to bed early.
Boston 5
Chicago 2

The Blackhawks are hosting the Boston Bruins tonight and are presenting a special showcase of the Cup winning teams with tons of players expected to be in attendance. I am super thrilled to be there to relive those unreal years, and yet I can’t shake the notion that I hope they invite Alex Bregman?

Perhaps the historians will dub this assault on America as the “War of White Trash Aggression”

Received a Wheatie back in change and it reminded me this simple, uncommon thrill will soon be a rarity, and then no-more . From today, and a coupla weeks ago

“Corn starch slurry”
What an interesting phrase

Another thing I’ve wondered on this beautiful morning is, will all the domestic terrorists on the administrative-side accept justice when the walls collapse in on them? Or will they all just be a bunch of suicides? For all the women, their faces already look embalmed, easy day for the funeral home

I sincerely hope, somehow, all those nasty white trash motherfuckin ICE agents get doused, drenched, soaked in water this arctic weekend in Minnesota. Maybe they can lose fingers along the way.

Happy birthday, Martin Luther King. Here's a memorial to King in Chicago's Marquette Park, where he was hit with a rock in 1966.

Reading one a day at breakfast doesn’t move you very fast, but it keeps the narrative right at your periphery.

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Leak all the files. Hack Times Square and show the footage. Hack CBS and show the footage.

Can't quite put my finger on it, but there was something in the way the feeble, senile, old Felon responded to American Hero, TJ Sabula, that reinforces my suspicion that the alleged assassination attempt was staged.

It’s like the nation of The United States of America is trying to keel itself by autoerotic asphyxiation. And the embarrassing thing is sitting here, yelling, “that’s a terrible idea, stop before the tragedy, stop!”

I’d rather serve in the French Foreign Legion (if I wasn’t aged-out of the prime recruitment demographic)
