O'Neill of Chicago
@brianoneill
Books, baseball, Great Lakes. Writes reviews all over, and at South Side Sox. Big fan of rivers and such. He/him
I wrote about Miguel Vargas, the story of the first half, for @southsidesox.bsky.social, and how he symbolizes the turnaround, and also how ballplayers are real people, and what it must have felt like to have your professional life thrown into a volcano www.southsidesox.com/chicago-whit...
Jesus fucking christ. I knew this guy was shit but didn't know the depth of it.
The whole thing is stupid and funny and enraging, but this bit really caught my eye. I don't know how you engage with people who think the country underwent a "precipitous decline" under Biden, or that the heartland now swells with pride.
Jacki. This is the guy. Yeah, politics are why you women aren't beating down your door, Romeo.
Now I don't know what to think, @thetyrone.bsky.social and @whitesox.bsky.social
Got this email from the President, he cancelled his hamburger to let me know the Deep State wants to stop me from giving him money.
LeBron genuinely looks like a guy doing sideline work eight years after he retired, not putting up an easy 28 to clinch a series.
This beagle really really wanted Aldo to pay attention to him.
The thing with this Palantir shit is that "Western culture" or whatever was unceasing continental warfare culminating in WWII and the Holocaust, until the institutions that these idiots despise were created and a tentative peace has been maintained.
I wrote about "On an Inland Sea," a collection of Great Lakes writing by @beltpublishing.bsky.social, edited by @mbwwelch.bsky.social. It's really a wonderful anthology, and deserves a place in the growing body of writing about the Lakes. greatlakesreview.org/shaped-by-th...
After a busy day of protesting and playing, this is how Aldo cooled down.
This also makes him telling the Iranian people to rise up and take control even more monstrous. It's regime change but the people who were going to take over were right at the top of the regime.
You ride in this bad boy you're gonna get puns for five hours. That's a goddamn guarantee
I know that Democratic fundraising emails are annoying and often, in the face of unmitigated fascism, absolutely insulting, but if you aren't getting official Trump emails you have no idea how fucking unhinged they are. It was titled "Goodnight" and above the picture reads "THIS IS MY MAGA CRY"
This is one of the laziest emails yet. The anti-communist club? And even his AI picture looks like shit.
This sounds like Stafford is a caveman scientist discussing the benefits of evolution
I don't know if any dog has enjoyed a toy as much as Aldo loves this big red ball.
"We're No Angels" is one of my favorite movies and I named my dog after Aldo Ray, who is incredibly handsome.
Spending Christmas Eve with the good boy Aldo, @sgj.bsky.social, and a lot of other talented authors.
Excited to have written about Patrick Wensink's "The Great Black Swamp" (@beltpublishing.bsky.social), a charming look at the unintended consequences reshaping the land, for Great Lakes Review. greatlakesreview.org/the-price-of...
