Chicago, famously in Central Illinios. It is the Chicago-Urbana area, right?

Idk if it is still true but I once learned that Indiana was the state with the highest share of its college graduates moving out of state. Looks like they are trying to fix that by making Indiana universities less appealing

One thing that always bothers me is when people compare nominal incomes of people in the US to the world as a whole. They do so to point out how much richer this country is and while it is, nominal income is not a great measure to prove that.

Indeed added commute time preference but it only calculates it based on how long it takes to drive

The @chicagotribune.com should probably know better than to publish something so factually incorrect that it refers to Bridgeport as “downtown”

Don’t threaten me with a good time

I’ve come around on Abdul El-Sayed btw. I think the electability concerns are real but overblown. And those mattered more when it seemed like McMorrow had a shot. I’d rather risk it on El-Sayed than have Stevens. McMorrow seemed like a decent middle ground for a swing state

The best time for the percolator is allll the tiiime

Trump might legitimately match the unpopularity of W at his lowest. I didn’t think that was possible anymore. And W only hit that in his last year in office

Say "deep dish isn't pizza" one more time. I dare you

You can’t move the Bears to Hammond if there is no Hammond

The city state of Chicago should get nuclear weapons.

It’s been 17 years and the crypto bros have yet to find a useful application for crypto

Mirror mirror on the wall, who has the fairest shrussy of them all?

The Merchandise, every night during Pride month.

Someone on Twitter posted this map of concentrations of gay couples in Chicago. What is funny is that you can see that while Boystown is very gay, the epicenter of gay life in the city is a little further north

Champaign-Urbana MTD: 9,558,020 The next 5 combined: 9,614,440 A difference of only 56,000

Just looked up the price of plane tickets between Chicago and Champaign (which you CAN buy for some reason) and I don't understand why anyone would buy them. Like minimum 3x as expensive as train tickets and the number of trips are the same wither way.

I am going down a rabbit hole currently

I had no idea Mahomet (a small town near Champaign to the northwest) was growing so fast!

Cybersmith is on here? Immediate block

I smell like campfire smoke rn

Stop moving sports to streaming services!

let's re open the debacle known as that ass ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Me, all the time

There are so many gay people on this train

Lake forever

Having sex is cool but asking people out is cringe. Being strong is cool but going to the gym is cringe. Everything that exists between desire and achievement is cringe, because it raises one‘s awareness of the gap between self-concept and reality

If a social media website makes you follow an account by default I always make a point to manually unfollow. I don’t think i need to follow Bluesky on Bluesky

She likes being between 2 faggots

One thing I appreciate about Soccer (as opposed to Football) is the timer makes sense. If you are at the 43rd minute of the second half you know that there are at most like 7 minutes left. In Football? That timer is basically meaningless

As always music is evil.

It seems like the age at which young people pretend is old gets younger all the time too. I swear some people think they only have like 4 years of night life they can enjoy.

Oh no wonder AOC wouldn’t endorse her former employee. He’s a clown!

Outright majority? Damn! Anyway, Goodbye Starmer!

The more I look into it the less it makes sense. And there does not seem to be details on why they give the scores they do. They have maps (that you have to refresh the page like 5 times to get them to work) and I just don’t get how they put Dallas at 15 points to 11 for Chicago

Michael and I enjoyed recently visiting the Obama Presidential Center! During the tour I felt immense pride to be from Chicago and to have lived through the historic Obama presidency.

😎

Lake forever problems for now

I feel like the ideal place to be a bus driver is Champaign, IL. It pays decently well, you’d be living in a cheap area, and there’s like no traffic 85% of the time

This cat loves me

I would love it if there was this massive group of non-voters who are disillusioned leftists because it would mean that we theoretically could get them to vote and have permanent electoral success. Nothing I have learned about the average person in my life makes me believe this is the case.

I’m genuinely not anti-AI in general. I think it has very good use cases. However, just like every tool, there are some places where it just doesn’t make sense. I don’t think a bike is a great place to put AI.

The iPhone 5 is the iPhone with the dumbest name since it was the first iPhone named after a number that did not correlate with anything about the phone. The iPhone 3G was the 2nd iPhone but the 3G was referencing the fact that it had cellular 3G.

Yeah I’m sorry. This is just not a serious rating agency if Chicago is below Dallas. This isn’t even a “Chicago is the best” type of thing (we aren’t on this measure), but this low of a ranking just doesn’t make sense.

I think I could have multiple trans women willing to vouch for my right to vote so I am cool with this plan! (The first part was talking about disenfranchising men)

Went out for fajitas with Regime Accountant (RIP while he's not here) and I took this photo #WeAreRegimeAccountant

Idk if this really counts because he already kinda announced. But we have had Mendoza, Cardenas, and now Quigley have official launches this month.
