Don DeLillo's Funniest Novel Is A 1980 Hockey Sex Romp He Won't Acknowledge | Defector The end of the 1970s seemed to be a moment of uncertainty for Don DeLillo, creatively speaking. The previous decade had seen him become a rather important American author, enough so that he had left…

Don DeLillo’s funniest novel is a 1980 hockey sex romp he won’t acknowledge:

I still don’t know what “mogging” means but I think it’s what Jalen duren does to every other big man

this being said I also usually have the thought of “they’ll go as far as Daniss Jenkins can take em” while watching them

nuggets simply not a good team these days

Art: "War is not healthy for children and other living things."

Lorraine Schneider, 1967.

this is a good book

Politics coverage is a cancer on healthy democracy, reducing literal life or death crises to partisan games.

I love this game. If you stay out late enough at the arcade you can see service industry people come and flip the table *real* hard after their shifts

I think he will be back but once he gets to playing at full force it just seems like a matter of time before the hammy acts up again

Indiana Bears stadium bill advances, Pritzker still optimistic about Illinois A bill aimed at landing a Chicago Bears stadium project in Indiana advanced in that state’s legislature, but Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker remains upbeat about talks with the team.

Not to Zirin-post at this godly hour, but 360,000 Indiana residents don't have health insurance and the state legislature wants to give the Bears a billion dollars. www.nbcchicago.com/news/sports/...

okay what kinda beers are we talking tho

Jeffrey Epstein Appeared To Be A Big Joakim Noah Fan | Defector The Tom Thibodeau–era Chicago Bulls were a special team, a rockpile collection of asskickers dedicated to playing a rapidly obsolescing style that nonetheless proved extremely effective. Thibs surroun...

I will be spending the rest of the year processing the fact that a Real GM link was shared in the Epstein files

A PR Push on the Public Dime: Chicago Police Podcast Records Peel Back Layers of Expanded Communication Costs Podcasts are a new avenue for police to reach the communities they serve. A monthslong public records battle with CPD identifies the cost of the podcast “Roll Call.” It is the latest evidence of the h...

The “Roll Call” podcast is just part of a larger push in recent years to expand CPD’s communications operation.

Comms have vastly expanded over the past decade, and costs rose along with it.

Afternoons of Solitude is superb

The pistons are very cool

The Bears moving to Indiana would be a soulless betrayal of a city that loves them The Indiana Bears just aren’t right.

Now following @wilmes.bsky.social just for this one:

Texas man fatally shot by federal immigration agent, records show A U.S. citizen was shot and killed by a federal immigration officer during a late-night traffic stop nearly a year ago in a Texas beach town crowded with young people celebrating spring break.

Newly released records show a U.S. citizen was shot and killed in Texas by a federal immigration agent last year during a late-night traffic encounter that was not publicly disclosed by the Department of Homeland Security.

The Bears moving to Indiana would be a soulless betrayal of a city that loves them The Indiana Bears just aren’t right.

. @wilmes.bsky.social nails it on the Indiana Bears:

"Profits only go so far before they start to defeat pride and purpose, and the Bears will be leaving so much of what matters about their franchise behind if they all care about is maximally fleecing a government"

www.sbnation.com/nfl/1104255/...

also, something I’m genuinely interested in: what do Colts fans all over the state think about the idea of their tax dollars paying for a Bears stadium?

I don’t think the Bears are moving to Indiana, but I took the idea seriously here and think the organization is using Trump 2.0 austerity and the incoherent culture war priorities of the Indiana legislature as stadium subsidy leverage… and I think that’s really gross!

me watching Knicks vs Pistons at 630 PM

this reminds me of when I was 9 and would spend hours looking for extra stuff that “the Easter bunny hid” and my parents were like uhhhh I kinda doubt he left anything else…

Good call, sick track:

front runners who show their faces too fast, this far away from the voting, usually do not prosper

for me it was that he said we could solve homelessness with AI
