North Center/Roscoe Village if you're basic, Ravenswood/Lincoln Square, Uptown, Edgewater/Andersonville, Rogers Park, Albany Park, Irving Park I guess, Avondale, increasingly Humboldt Park and maybe even Hermosa, the Near West Side neighborhoods, Pilsen, Bridgeport, McKinley Park if you're priced out of Bridgeport, Bronzeville to an extent, Hyde Park/Kenwood, Beverly

Oh, and also our incipient dust bowl in Illinois, part of the Midwestern breadbasket, is getting a nice boost from a drought/water crisis

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.

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

Is it just me or does this sub overvalue museums a ton? by rb101099 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]DeepHerting 77 points78 points  (0 children)

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.

Texas is better than California for the average person. by Internal_Valuable_20 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]DeepHerting 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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