@CHSN_WhiteSox Get the Fargin’ scoreboard off the bottom of the screen! This is like watching 1980s cable access from the local high school.

@CHSN_WhiteSox Are we watching the Sox or the Smurfs?
Negatory on the scores on the bottom of the screen.

After years of writing letters… Riot Fest 2026: Now with 100% more @WilliamShatner, with his heavy metal band The *uckers. Appearing Sunday. Tickets on sale now.

So now that my appearance in Chicago at @RiotFest is known I want to start acting like the Heavy Metal Rock God that I am. 🙌🏻 So... I have a few demand...err🤨...requests for Chicago.☺️

Should this go to @ChicagosMayor or maybe @GovPritzker ?🤷

Nothing unreasonable here as far as I can see. Hopefully you can find @JohnStamos - I have heard he's hard to pin down. 😉

You have a couple months here to get this together. I know Chicagoans can make me happy. 😉

Come see me at https://t.co/nXsrhWK69M and worship your new Heavy Metal Rock God! 😝

Live long and Rock on!🤘🏻

Hey Chicago, we just received a personal video message from @WilliamShatner. His rider… is a lot. But we’re committed to showing him what he means to us and we’re going to need your help. We don’t want years of letter-writing to go to waste. Anybody willing to lend a hand?

John Stamos issues statement on ICE-
https://t.co/blah0CyKJe
“I usually stay out of politics. This doesn't feel like that,” the note begins. “What I'm seeing from ICE feels cruel. I don't need it explained away or reframed. I trust my own eyes!”

“When people are treated like threats instead of human beings, when fear is the tactic, something is broken,” he wrote. “‘Stay in your lane, actor’ doesn't apply when basic humanity IS the lane. This is ALL OF OUR LANE!”

“I'm tired of the hypocrisy, too. The speed of the cycle has erased shame,” he wrote. “Harm happens, outrage flashes, then we move on like nothing stuck. But it sticks. This doesn't feel right, and staying quiet feels worse.”

“Lately it feels like the bad guys are winning,” Stamos wrote. “Maybe the least we can do is not look away. - J.S.”

After a decade of taunts, Riot Fest says actor John Stamos will finally take stage. Stamos, of “Full House” fame, will sit on drums with the Beach Boys on Sept. 20, the festival said Thursday.

If rumors are true, a monumental supergroup featuring Rakim, KRS One, Kool G Rap, and Big Daddy Kane might be in the works. 🤯

If this group is forming, it's not just for nostalgia — it's a reminder the foundation still holds weight.

In just 38 games, Angel Reese became the fastest in WNBA history to record 500 career points and rebounds. The Chi-Town Barbie passed Tina Charles (44 games).
