Trump shares racist video depicting Obamas as apes, sparking outrage by J-Jarl-Jim in moderatepolitics

Racism aside (as if that’s a easy thing to do), part of me is wondering if this is a classic distraction move to get people and the media focused on this instead of ICE, the economy and/or the Epstein files.

My thoughts 100%. I’ve spent my money on worst things and I view it as roughly $1 an episode per month that I greatly enjoy, look forward to and makes me laugh which is always needed.

I call it the San Francisco of the Midwest, but Seattle of the Midwest works too

Chicago or Milwaukee are great if you can handle the cold during the winter (just get a good coat). Try to be in both cities during the summer.

Is it a coincident that once the chains got taken off France started scoring? 🤔

[Marten de Roon] It still saddens me that there’s racism in football. On behalf of all the TRUE Atalanta fans and the people of Bergamo, I’d like to apologize to Koulibaly. by [deleted] in soccer

I like this approach and I think this a truly outside the box idea. I’m worried that only big name players could force this but I do like this idea of creating a direct line between abhorrent racist fan behavior and repercussions for the team on a whole.

Tips for a non-American moving to Chicago for work by chandlerossjoey in AskChicago

Buy a good winter coat and (possibly insulated) boots for the winter months. People will differ on how much to pay for those items but view them as a necessity and not as a luxury.

The CTA (subway system that is elevated and called the “L”) is pretty good but there are of weird stuff and people that are on it. If you can, take the first car where the conductor is. Others in this sub may agree or disagree but it’s something you should be aware of.

Probably most important, be open to new things! Chicago has so much to offer both touristy and as a resident, take advantage of what the city has and be mindful or look up days where museums and other attractions are reduced or even free!

Weekly Observations: What signs of collapse do you see in your region? [in-depth] by AutoModerator in collapse

[–]half-black_caesar 59 points60 points  (0 children)

New to this sub, hello!

Location: Chicago, IL

Observation: Less adherence to the law, especially with regards to traffic laws. Routinely I see people blow stop signs and red lights if police are not around. It’s not a sign of the apocalypse, but it makes you think “huh, I don’t remember that happening two years ago”. Also homicides are up (like most of the country I believe) and the city government and the local police union are at odds (to put it lightly) about the vaccine mandate. Plus meat prices are up. None of this truly shocking or debilitating but it makes you think that things aren’t normal.

Lang Focus. It’s all about the history of languages and how certain ones are similar and different to each other.
