I recall vividly Bill Nye coming to our college campus to do stand up and having to walk out after the third or fourth misogynistic joke he made.
Can't say I'm surprised

A lot of Indian train stations have a similar set up, and it really is a nominal fee, like a couple rupees (which would be like, a nickel). Though those might be privately run?

Eileen O'Neill Burke is a fascist. She puts her relationship with fascists above our rights and our laws; she is a fascist.

When I have the month-long pass I often will tap people on to the train, but I could easily imagine the threat of losing bathroom access making me less likely to do the same, even if the tap to use the bathroom is functionally free.

I'm imagining a world where there are bathrooms in our L stations where you have to tap Ventra to get in, and I'm torn because on one hand it seems like a compromise that could get an essential service, but also the people who most need it might not be able to get in.

why did this come up when I namesearched Cook County Treasurer and Chicago mayoral hopeful Maria Pappas

this rules

Quigley has all but announced for Mayor so shouldn't he be gearing up for another House run?

Sometimes I still get her songs stuck in my head out of nowhere and I get sad

She's far and away the best on this list. It's not even particularly close.

Eh, it took her three years but at least she's voting against giving more weapons to Israel. Now if only we could get her to stop voting for transphobic "Internet Safety" bills written by Meta, or have an office that actually picks up the phone...

THIS is the dream. Instead of having a million chokepoints for our most racist neighbors to yell about how they don't want any more poor people in the neighborhood, we can just have new, dense housing.

We're within a couple of years of them going full early 20th century and peddling cocaine as a health tonic

Who guaranteed a woman's death THAT LED TO THE POLITICAL OUTCOME THEY WANTED.

This isn't negligence. It's ensuring the success of an assassination.

If you own a house you are wealthier than anyone who is moving into any "luxury" apartments they are building on your block

That's good! It's genuinely a good thing for smaller cities to be investing in making good urban places. In a lot of ways it's easier to make a ton of progress in a short amount of time at that scale. I've never been to Peoria but I'll have to visit some time.

Kamala Harris was a former prosecutor and Attorney General, she had a Sheriff featured as a convention speaker. Every major police union endorsed Donald Trump.

I feel bad now for being snarky on your good faith post. I am unfortunately one of those jerks from Chicago who doesn't understand why anyone would choose to live anywhere else

Well see the thing about living in Peoria is that you live in Peoria.

If You've Never Missed a Flight, You're Probably Wasting Your Time Do you find yourself spending endless hours waiting at the airport? Here's what math says about the perfect time to arrive for your next flight

Peter. Peter he was quoting an airport book.

"[I]t's got some logical thinking behind it...from math professor Jordan Ellenberg, who breaks down the idea in his new book How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking."

I have met former tech workers who have been made homeless by this downtown. There will be many more such cases.

Haggling is my weakness! Though I find they often just...don't have any of the smaller cars around. But it's also been a couple years and the last couple times I used Turo

I have never once reserved a sedan and been given one. They always try to "upgrade" me to an SUV as though they're not charging me more for a worse vehicle

they will all be brutalist by the way

"We love fixing infrastructure, but not any of the ways that could fund doing so. This is Mayor Brandon Johnson's fault."

Please, it's the Abundance Machine. YIMBY-CDSA precinct captain structure when?

If you admit that the US has agency in international politics, you might end up having to criticize the US military and the people who decide to be a part of it
