Hey! I was confronted with this very same dilemma almost exactly one year ago when returning from the Twin Cities to Chicago.

Reminds me of somebody I knew growing up now complaining about property taxes because that's the only thing he's responsible for paying on a nice condo his parents own in the South Loop.

Wondering if "conservative twitter" passes around old screenshots of posts that "had heat" during the Biden admin so we could get a sampling of what he means. Or was it actually just a bunch of anti-trans stuff?

Success Sequence in tatters

Peak DLD for me was the back-to-back years of just terrible late April cold and rainy weather. Wouldn't have it any other way.

'Success Sequence' Urges Marriage, Then Parenthood. These States Want Schools to Teach It The decades-old concept is getting new attention, largely from Republican lawmakers.

It'll be interesting to see how they try to square their teen fertility rate concerns with their certainty that the "Success Sequence" will solve poverty.

Also really love how it allows for easy connections to the Belmont bus which runs pretty frequently.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

You'd think being from Chicago you'd recognize the parallels between the scene in question and how ICE literally handcuffed a member of our city council at a hospital ER

It's Double Nickels on the Dime time!

Really enjoying how the biggest Andrade stronghold is mainly composed of places like Fire Pitch, ClimbZone, Waveland Bowl and Lane Tech.

Not forgetting this. His challenger gave thoughtful responses to your questionnaire and you still endorsed the incumbent who was not only compromised by outside interests like Meta and DraftKings but had the gall to paint his literal ICE rapid responder opponent as pro-ICE.

Just picturing the attack ads DraftKings would buy.

Sinister voice: "Tom Skilling spent decades standing side by side with one the worst corporate criminals in our country's history. If he stands with criminals, how can he stand for the people of Chicago?"

Yeah this race had me trying to explain the concept of RCV to the kids using foods. Decided to use "seaweed flavored rice cakes" as the stand in for Raja.

Saw this the other day which seems to be a direct reaction to the California bill. Haven't read into it much yet though.

I've also found that there's a virtuous cycle that develops when you see these local acts because the line up will often feature other local or touring bands that you'll find appealing which expands the number of shows you'll be interested in in the future.

I worked right down the street from there one summer!

The exact same reason I chose to read it in sixth grade except I couldn't bring myself to actually finish it when a flight attendant on my trip home from spring break commented on what I was reading and it made me super self conscious.

Trying to find out if this link is even weaker given that the vote in question was in 2024 when Biden was still president and Dems were trying their "actually we're tougher than Republicans on the border!" posture in hopes of peeling off Trump voters for the upcoming election.

Out visiting family in DuPage county and was shocked to see this particular ad airing before the Illini game.

Was never going to vote for Andrade either way but if he had just run a boilerplate "progressive" campaign and touted his shred events instead of this "actually my ICE rapid responder opponent is pro-ICE" paid for by Draft Kings campaign I wouldn't feel compelled to tell everyone how much he sucks.

Don't even get me started on floating point numbers!

Somebody should ask Andrade how he'd vote if a bill came up that imposes additional taxes on sports gambling to help fund state healthcare initiatives.

Illinois Republican Mary Miller sorry for quoting Hitler in Capitol speech Democrats call for resignation of freshman representative who made remark on Tuesday

Guess she wasn't sorry about this from 5 (!) years ago.
