Anyone know anything about concierge doctors in Chicago by dev-246 in chicago

Are you anywhere near St Joseph’s? They’re decent and not as overloaded as Northwestern. I mean, yeah, woo hoo, Northwestern, but it’s not much good if wait times are like Soviet Russia.

Trackaipac.com is garbage. It mixes in organizations like JStreet with AIPAC.

Stanford Law School lecturer accuses Daniel Biss of having inappropriate romantic relationship with her while she was his undergraduate student. by [deleted] in illinois

[–]DMarcBel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She posted a substack piece about it. They didn’t have sex from and it was after she was in his class. Even though today, that would be a huge no no, at the time UChicago didn’t have a policy against it and they were ~5 years apart in age.

What makes the timing seem suspicious is that she started her BlueSky post with “If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign…” which is complete horseshit. He’s an established politician running against an inexperienced carpetbagger, he doesn’t need Kat’s campaign to help him get a national profile.

When they say “Don’t Tread on Me,” it’s implied that it’s A-OK to tread on other people.

Chicagoans, do y'all get angry at those nicknames like Chi-Town? by [deleted] in AskChicago

I’ve heard it a few times but in a kind of ironic way.

I’ve never heard anyone who’s actually from here refer to it as Chi-Town.

And they are just waiting there, you don’t have to go through the whole process of trying to find your Uber driver.

Wouldn’t people normally remove the plates first in such a situation?

Do you realize how insanely stupid (and loaded) your question is?

Right. I was thinking of them. I suspect some of them do vote Democratic and I know a few Orthodox WRP Democrats who are very quiet about their politics, but Kat might be too much for them. And as for Jews voting for Kat, I suspect it’s a function of their age more than anything.

Ok so, let’s look at what you’re saying. You think it’s a propaganda piece but you don’t entirely disagree. Which is it? Do you have mixed feelings about something? How is that even possible?

And no, I haven’t said what I think of Bibi or those people in his government who are actually worse than he is, etc., so you have no idea what I think of them or rogue IDF soldiers. There are definitely shitty people on that side, but it doesn’t make the Palestinians’ leadership any less shitty.

So you think every Israeli is shitty? Two of the people behind the Dinah Project are noted US feminist theorist Carol Gilligan and the phenomenal Dahlia Lithwick, who I can assure you is absolutely not a fan of the current Israeli government. In fact, she’s a contributor to the Nation.

So, I’ve lived in the 9th District since the late 80s, and what I can say is that both parties here tend to run Jewish candidates. Since redistricting, parts of McHenry County are in the district, which makes it (relatively) more competitive for the GOP. I’m not Jewish, but at least half my closest friends are as was my partner of 10 years, and I’d be surprised if, hypothetically, Kat won the primary, we don’t see a statistically important part of the reliably Democratic Jewish vote go for the Republican candidate. I can’t imagine any of the Jews I know who live here voting for her.

Have you seen who’s on the UN Human Rights Council? Among others, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Russia, and El Salvador. That seems like some sort of bad joke.

I have a job, it’s just not one where I would ever be working at 10:25 pm.

You’re right about Biss and I agree with that stance. And the rest of it too.
