The Dodgers announcers are very sad right now and it's quite satisfying

Given how few Americans have firsthand experience with unions, you'd be an idiot NOT too use sports labor battles as a platform to drop pro-union political ed. Players unions are imperfect but goddamn, don't miss the forest for the trees. "You don't tune in to watch the bosses" is a pretty easy arg.

This is PCA’s fault, somehow

Lotta music news this week: -Nico Segal, Shawnee Dez, Zion Ali, and more perform at the Save Our SNAP Block Party -Chicago punk supergroup NIXD celebrate their new LP at Public Works Gallery -FyeNixx plays a vintage shop -new music from Plant Matter, Adamn Killa, and Sex Gun (w/ Kai of Sharp Pins)

Insane thing to say considering that for most of his life, serious thinkers considered pushing hard for gay rights "beyond the politically acceptable".

Just thinking about the humor in calling someone supposedly trying to stop antisemitism a "Czar"

Add the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, cowards

Recognizing that aging does come with limitations is the opposite of ageist while destroying the pipeline that allows future generations to rise through the ranks bc there's no room for advancement is.

Ugh, fine. Cloud Somethings

I mean, he's right about the first part. The US should really rethink the whole "executive slave mansion"-thing.

Dems really should have saved Lies And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them for when it really would have landed.

Living between Humboldt and Garfield Parks has really increased the quality of birds in my day-to-day life

Solar/battery has never been cheaper and Illinois is home to one of the US's few successful EV ventures, but sure, let's keep propping up the environmental catastrophe of ethanol subsidies so that downstate "farmers" can continue not voting for you

Not enough! We need more first rate man-of-wars! No less than 4 masts and 50 cannon a side!

Actually, it's Knuck If You Buck

too many stupid people have money; that's why I'm launching protein cigarettes

Yeah but the Sox are the only team where you can bring a hot Ricobene's skirt steak sandwich to the park

An insult to everyone that bothered to vote in the election

Fucking murder me

No millennial loves FoW more than I but Stacy's Mom is definitely an Xer song bc it's actually by Ric Ocasek.

Chicago adding "traumatized Ken Griffin" to our civic resume.

If it WERE possible to create intelligence by feeding giant piles of text into a linear algebra woodchipper (it's not) the decision to use, as a corpus, "the internet" would be frankly insane

Is this guy related to Anthony Fantano?

America loves only the stupidest possible gender-affirming procedures.

I always hate deleting a post with a typo I just can't abide after its been liked. Ty friend, you are a real one, please know that your like will always be treasured in my heart.

Bears gotta roster this guy. Don't deny us the Vanilla Gorilla.

Look, if Dems are gonna elect a spook she should at least be willing to use some of that Langley shit to do what's necessary.

Never liked the Skytown branding, mainly bc I don't know anyone here who says "Chi-Town." Love the sky blue though.

The thing is, to get a public willing to back you on stuff like this and public officials actually ready to do this, you can't be running on a return to liberalism. You need to offer a vision of a radically better future built by people fundamentally opposed to capitalism. Sorry.

I think the liberal counterreaction to and swift dispatch of BLM and the 2020 uprising is such an important step that got us here, materially, politically and psychologically.

Damn, Keith Law with the Sox taking Grady Emerson over Cholowsky. Dunno how I feel, they've done well with high prep picks but this feels like it could be overthinking it. Or, as he says, a leverage ploy. www.nytimes.com/athletic/725...

Looking forward to all the shocked hit pieces on local news.

Personally, as a Marxist, I don't think politicizing consumption and artistic preferences is a useful way to organize the working class.

Someone needs to tell millennials that you can play with your Batmans or your legos or your video games but not all three at once.

Man, throwing Biden under the bus now that mainstream Dems are willing to admit that Israel/Gaza are unpopular is such a transparent bid to set up a '28 run. No loyalty from someone with no fixed convictions. No more believable than when she backpedaled on M4A and trans rights.

Obviously "Project Freedom" has nothing to do with liberation but "Plan for freedom nixed by lack of support from petro-monarchy" does have a ring of unintentional truth.

This is who fried the rice.

1776 National Champs? I'm sorry, but 1776 very much went to the British. 1781? Sure (or at-least co-champs with France). But '76 was still a young team full of rookies learning to adapt to the pace of the big leagues.

I don't go online to do politics. I go online to blow off steam and run my big fat mouth

Did the "(Laughing Nervously) What the Fuck?" bit from Veep after reading every single one of these 5 paragraphs Great write-up from Cherone here

Neither a “class in itself” nor a “class for itself” but rather a new third thing: a class against itself

Shit like this is essentially free marketing for socialism. Especially when his picture is included. Looks like he just took a break from tearing down an orphanage.

Centrists trying to make this guy politically toxic should probably stop setting him up to take cool and correct stances in opposition to them.

Yup. And it sucks because I remember hating handwriting as a student, typing is so much easier. We could outlaw the lying machine but instead here we are.

Kash Patel Is Tom Haverford Theory only getting more persuasive

Selling my wife's old road bike a sweet lil 48cm road bike - fits riders around 5'5" tall. Perfectly maintained & built for long comfortable rides. Pearl white Nashbar aluminum frame, Shimano Ultegra 6500 all around. $500 and it's yours. Can ship via bike flights if you aren't in Chicago.

The accents are fine but it's weird that Odysseus keeps doing the 6-7 dance.

What the actual fuck, dude?

Will he finally get a James Beard award for hot dogs or whatever the fuck he cooks?
