"we fired all of our Black and Brown journalists and media critics and for some reason are writing bad articles about the Bad Bunny halftime show"

"He comes from humble beginnings, and he knows what he had to go through. You know, I remember him having holes in his cleats. We had to tape his glasses up," he said. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

I can confirm that having a high school football teammate as a Super Bowl champion is hella dope. #StangGang 🐎 #Empehi #MorganPar

Rapper Lil Jon’s son, 27-year-old Nathan Smith, is believed to be dead after police recovered a body from a Georgia pond

Dilla Day.

Legally you can’t punch people but that’s not top 10 worst things a hockey player can do or has done and in the grand scheme of things I have seen and covered, I’m not batting an eye at this

Black History isn’t just remembered, it’s lived. This month, we honor the culture, the legacy, and the brilliance that continues to shape the game 🖤 #WNBABHM

NEWS from @propublica.org: The two federal agents who killed Alex Pretti are Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Ochoa joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014. Both are from south Texas. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Shout out to digife for allowing me to discuss some hockey for Black History Month some years ago.

When someone says, “This is not who we are” or “We’re better than this.”

Happy Jackie Robinson born day

I went to a funeral for the third time this month. Would’ve been four but one conflicted with another. One too many.

That Saudi crowd are some haters…

Marimar Martinez is a hero. She was shot 5 times by ICE. The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire. He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”. DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her. Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.

Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)

As someone who has covered quite a few protests, folks who don’t want journalists around often cite their own interpretation of law . Also, what the Feds allege, and what Lemon actually did, are, at this point, two different instances.

But i thought the athletic did a whole redemption article on her?! I thought she was good again! (Sarcasm, major sarcasm)

NGL, it’s going to be really dope to see one of my fellow Morgan Park Mustang teammates coaching for the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. Wow! I used to block for that guy. #StangGang 🐎 www.seahawks.com/team/coaches...

Turns out, the All Lives Matter folks got nothing to say.

The Burnham Building, a century-old, temple-like pavilion in Jackson Park that for years has lain in near ruin, appears finally set to receive the restoration it rightly deserves. "We're trying to bring it back to its former glory," the Chicago Park District's Heather Gleason said.

Being a Bears fan is not for the faint of heart

Bears QB Caleb Williams: “It’s no fluke. … It’s been proven for us to be a great second-half team. … If the game comes down to the final two minutes, I believe in us.”

happy for bears fans. ice man is a great nickname. the nfl is a better product when the bears are good.

Suck it, Green Bay! Suck it, forever!

You sure about that? 😂

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

My background as a bouncer/bartender continues to be the main driver in the things I’ve been able to accomplish. Without it I don’t think I have 2 master’s degrees, journalism awards, articles framed in schools/museums, along with teaching a class at a university based on a book I coauthored.

So Capitol Police officers were assaulted and injured on Jan 6th, the White House today is blaming them for the violence, and the people who attacked them have been pardoned and are back to mock and abuse them on the 5th anniversary. And the GOP is the party of the police? Really? REALLY??

Wild to see WGN interview an insurrectionist whom I stopped from entering a school a few months ago. I was like: You wanna do what? Nah, we good.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Just started watching Mad Men.

Dear 2025, I wouldn’t say I learned anything new. However, I’ll say the following: Accept the things you can’t change. Find the courage and wisdom for the things you can. Go for a walk. Surround yourself with goodness people. And, perhaps most importantly, stay cool. ✌🏾

We need the pop tart bowl in college hockey

The Pop Tarts mascots are turning on each other

If you told me Snoop “Murder was the Case” Dogg was going to be singing “White Christmas” with other pop stars, during an NFL half time game, on Christmas, I would not have believed you.
