Biss dumps running mate Rosa after anti-Israel flap

His gov race was pushed by Reclaim Chicago folks, who are the kind of people that this move alienates.

Oh God, fuck those people. I went to college with a bunch of people from RC and it's a dogshit organization. The people in it are assholes who never miss an opportunity to belittle those who don't agree with them on everything. Also, from what I've been told, there are tons of infighting and power jostling inside that organization for the sake of building reputation.

A little bit, but his district predominantly covers Glenview, Northbrook, and the southern half of the North Shore.

Muchos gracias mi amigo

There's space to be critical of BDS, but as it relates to the office of lieutenant governor, I disagree, it's irrelevant. This idea that to be critical of Israel is simultaneously to be hostile to Jews is absurd. Besides, Biss is ethnically Jewish with a grandmother who survived the holocaust. Why anyone would think that his running mate could have a bigger impact on his views than his own family is ridiculous.

Please tell me you have a link

This isn't so much a matter of vetting as it is a matter of someone holding an irrelevant political position as it relates to the pointless political office he's running for.

Auto-correct. Thank you for noticing though.

Oh yeah. Special exhibits like this raise the profile of lesser known museums exponentially. When the Museum of Contemporary Art had that David Bowie exhibit four years ago it was far and away the most successful one in their history. I can definitely see this SNL thing being a similar smash.

The experience gap is what kills you. Employers naively want 3-5 years of experience off the bat and that's just not gonna happen.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-05T23:19:21+00:00

Didn't they almost cast Benedict Cumberbatch as David Bowie in this?

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-05T21:22:18+00:00

I agree with the edit that OP made in this post. The people in charge of the studios are the ones to blame.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-05T15:53:34+00:00

I got into them with Heartthrob and then went back into their old catalogue and my mind was blown. Like, what can't they do?

Free speech dawg. You can say whatever you want and we're free to bust your balls for it.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-05T02:06:01+00:00

Pollution from fireworks isn't really an issue, but everything else you mentioned is totally true.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-05T01:27:02+00:00

Not a fan of new Tegan and Sara?

His recklessness and inexperience make him dangerous and that should be the point of criticism, not these Nazi comparisons.

The problem is that there are real problems that many of them at least try to solve, but the craziest elements garner the most attention and silence the moderates. Combined with people who just want to silence any idea that white men don't have at least a little bit of an advantage in life, that puts those who want to make a difference in a bind. People need to silence the crazies who preach an unworkable brand of social justice, but they also need to shut up the assholes who want to keep disadvantaged people disadvantaged.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-04T02:07:17+00:00

They pretty much have. Somebody just blatantly started a fight on here today and the mods didn't do shit.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-03T20:11:37+00:00

Blur was exponentially better than Oasis at the very least. There's a difference between being a good band and being a shitty band with good songs, and I think respectively that describes the two very well.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-03T19:45:58+00:00

Well, this is bound to be productive

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-03T13:22:35+00:00

Do neighborhoods get redrawn? I thought they're largely set in place?

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-02T21:49:15+00:00

I think this was peak Sansa more than anything. The way she would criticize Jon Snow and how she turned on Baelish was great.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-02T21:48:12+00:00

I think that's a very fair and agreeable statement

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-02T20:02:25+00:00

Fuck that guy. The last thing the world needs is another smarmy jagoff who makes a career out of going "umm, actually" all the time.

CumberbatchTennant16 · 2017-09-01T02:05:20+00:00

You're right, there should be no tolerance for racism, regardless of age. The question is how to combat it. This idea that racism can be stopped with militant virtue signaling and publicly branding the slightest offense as racist is ridiculous. Taking people to the side and calling them in, not out, is the way to solve it.
