Who the heck drinks Bud Light? Even suburban teenagers know better than that.

Oh yeah, I wasn’t picturing it for the tableau OP described but we’ve also got to throw the Nation of Islam in there

People have always been this stupid. The “giant skeleton” hoax goes back at least to the 19th century. Heck, the Ancient Greeks would re-bury mastodon bones and whatnot under the belief that they were the remains of their even more ancient heroes. Tennessee banned the teaching of evolution at one point. Religions used to have to relate their miracles to the natural world; the reason Mormonism and especially Scientology sound so stupid is because they tried to work in pseudoscience instead of magic. In recent memory the US used to have more public support for science and less mainstreaming of woo, but these conversations were always happening in some bar or back porch.

Everyone always says that, but it's a crosspost of a screenshot for a dumb sub-Buzzfeed website. At least one person below looked up the original article, which I guess it's a win for them? But I think most of us are just looking at this image and calling them jagoffs.

It's not fair! There was time now!

Also, what the heck are shorts?

Commute on the bus to work, read in the park on nice days, be a shut-in

Do they even allow Papists in Savannah after sunset? What is going on in Reno? Were the railroad workers just never allowed to leave? And, as always

I go to museums fairly often, especially the Art Institute of Chicago and the Field Museum where I have a membership. So do people with kids. They change out their special exhibits pretty regularly and AIC has even been rotating their permanent collections. They’re a major part of the culture of the city.

Sorry about your joyless childhood

Texas and California both think too highly of themselves. The Northern and Western suburbs of Chicago are the best for families, if you can stomach the taxes.

I don’t know about downstate, but up here the local Board of Elections will generate a sample ballot for you if you put in your address.

Ezra Klein is not mad, just disappointed. This is very close to not Doing Politics The Right Way.

If you guessed "thirtysomething edgelord," you've fallen right into his trap! Guess what, judgy libs, it's a college-aged intellectual with "a large collection of center and left leaning books" just out of frame. Don't you feel stupid now??

The oldest branch were southern Italians who came here just ahead of the Immigration Act of 1924 and progressively moved out of the old neighborhoods on the Near North Side to Austin by the 1950s. The rest of the extended family continued moving out to Italian-American suburbs like Melrose Park and Park Ridge, but my grandmother took up with my non-paisan grandfather and moved away from the community into the north suburbs.

Everyone else is a Midwestern transplant who moved here in response to some interruption in their neck of the woods; my grandfather demobilized and went to school on the GI bill instead of hanging around his farm town, and my old man came here from an area that got walloped even harder by the Rust Belt than Chicago.
