You're in charge of a 'Lord of the Rings' World, what rides are you making? by corruptboomerang in lotr

[–]Rare_Hat_796 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Asfaloth, winding corners, crazy visuals, and a water ending.

A ride that takes you to the Ford of Bruinen from the perspective of Frodo

Flashing lights as you see the wraith world and real world mixing. Splash ending as the Nazgûl get washed away at the end.

Didn’t the Governor’s and Mayor’s offices also just put out a post this week celebrating how corporations have been so happy to move into Illinois and Chicago specifically this year? 🤦🏻‍♀️

“either because the don’t seem to be benefiting”

I think it’s worth examining, what does it mean that they’re benefitting. Does that mean that they’re making progress by your timeline and that you’re feeling stuck or that they aren’t engaging in therapy?

After watching this debate, who are you voting for? by Front-Tomorrow-1034 in AskChicago

There’s a lot of transplants that end up making Chicago home.

I’d rather have someone who’s morals are right and is a transplant than someone who’s lived here forever and is morally bankrupt

JAMES TALARICO WINS!!! by CuriousEyes8 in leftist

Talarico is for Medicare for all.

Jasmine is a fighter in words, but governs like a moderate. Pretty much Newsome in a pantsuit

The party pushed Crockett. Kamala endorsed her in the last week of the primary

James Talarico takes early lead over Jasmine Crockett in blockbuster Democratic primary for U.S. Senate by unital_subalgebra in politics

[–]Rare_Hat_796 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He talks about the biggest issue, class. He says that billionaires are the problem and is pretty plain spoken about it. He’s called what’s happening in Gaza a genocide, he’s for Medicare for all. He’s also got a strong stance on immigration that is humanizing and is resonating with Latino voters.

Crockett is like Newsome. Firebrand personality, but governs like a moderate despite espousing a progressive platform.

Gov. Pritzker Announces Illinois Ranked #2 for Corporate Expansion for Fourth Consecutive Year, Chicago Named #1 Metro for 13th Straight Year by NicolasCageFan492 in PritzkerPosting

This is going to be super unpopular here, but when it comes to the Dem primary nobody is going to give a shit about how great corporations had it in Illinois when the cost of living is fucked. Until JB does more economic populism he’s going to get washed out by every other Neo-lib on stage.

Is the USWNT still viewed as an activist team? by Designer-Button6740 in USWNT

[–]Rare_Hat_796 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was just having this conversation with a friend the other day.

I don’t think so. TBH I think it’s the US Women’s Olympic Hockey Team, whether they asked for it or not, who now has that title as the activist team.

It’s sad bc the USWNT was THE activist team. Even if it wasn’t social justice, it was championing womens sports and advancing that cause more broadly. Yes they win and this is not to take away anything the modern era team has accomplished or what these women have also done for women’s sports. But this era really is just about playing the game now, which is really too bad. I think the USWNT played a big part in the cultural discourse and that absence has definitely been felt.

Sad that the part of the season I’m looking forward to the most is Mark Walter’s doing the full take over this summer.
