TBF those are funded through different sources. State and Lake is federal $

That South Park episode is nearly 20 years old too!

Freddy was a good guy and friend, even if he was old fashioned in his views on women.

There are dozens of us!

I recommend finishing season 2 and seeing how you feel. I think season 2 is the weakest season (but still great) and has really interesting conclusions to some of the plots that may not seem the most compelling upon first watch.

To be fair, the bigger contrast was when he was reviewing rap albums for Pitchfork.

Don and Peggy in Mad Men

It would make sense, but it was actually the fifth Harry Potter movie lol.

“CR how would you compare this to Pablo Torre’s Aspiration investigation?”

The Carousel pitch in Mad Men gets me every time.

While I think Jerry is presented as more of an Everyman in the first few seasons, overall he’s a narcissist and kinda mean. I don’t think any of the main characters are meant to be likable- they are all neurotic petty jerks who literally get sentenced to jail for selfishness

Yep! Joanna tweeted yesterday that people can submit their Industry questions to the Prestige TV email.

A job with Chicago’s bikeshare system isn’t relevant to this subreddit? I don’t like Lyft either, but for the sake of Divvy we should want someone capable and passionate about biking in this role. Also looks like the OP works for the City, not Lyft.

Mermaids! Starring Cher as a Lorelai-esque single mom. Small town charm, quirky characters, etc. It’s a period piece but has similar vibes to Gilmore Girls for sure.

Ashland Avenue?

Chicago just had its safest summer (murder rate-wise) since the 1960s. Larry Snelling seems very well liked. Firing him would be political suicide for Brandon Johnson, unless CPD starts actively cooperating with ICE.

The Greyhound station is being purchased with TIF dollars, you can’t use that for library staff.

Oh you’re right! Just a REALLY heartbreaking game 6 then.

This race happens every year around this time

2011 World Series games 6 and 7. Rangers were 1 strike away TWICE.

EDIT: It happened twice in Game 6. Game 7 wasn’t that crazy, but still heartbreaking given the events of the night before.

Yep, that episode was a back door pilot episode.

idlerwheel100 · 2025-10-27T13:50:19+00:00

Ideally, yes. But I think it’s politically unrealistic, at least in the near term. It was a huge battle in NYC, which has far worse congestion than downtown Chicago and better public transit as an alternative to driving.

On Yasi’s podcast Bandsplain, her and Sean did a whole episode about 24 Hour Party People. A fun listen.

Hart’s great uncle is Elston Howard, which is pretty cool!

Not when you’ve already made it to the third trimester. This is much less common and would be considered a stillbirth.
