Hyde Park is on the South Side (though a bit of a white enclave because of the University of Chicago being in the neighborhood) which is more traditionally White Sox territory (their stadium is off the Red Line in the south). Cubs fans are usually richer and suburban and on the north side. Drunk Cubs fans are indeed…

Just remember and rejoice that the last Gilded Age directly led to the Progressive Era

Yeah but I don’t think Taco Bell does eggplant yet

Cher also released an ABBA cover album last year that didn’t really bring any differences from the original material. It was Cher doing ABBA karaoke.

thank u next has 272 million views on youtube. So lots of people. Not everything has to be about you.

Yeah, all this crap she spews like *checks notes* wanting to reopen the government so people can get paid, laws are enforced, criminals are investigated, food and drugs are inspected, national parks can reopen, etc.

Sure you didn’t want to include shrill in your screed there? 

The 70s were a different time. All that pot haze. 

Along similar lines, do people actually have sex underneath the sheets? Maybe it’s because I’m kidless and unashamed and prefer having lights on and seeing things, but I’ve never understood it (excepting in media where they have sub-sheet sex for censorship reasons).

Can’t tell which part of your comment to ignore first, the hyperbole or the slippery slope or the “can’t do one thing without another” or the strawmen. So instead I’ll answer better questions you should have asked. Like yes, it’d be much much much better if we had the political wherewithal to go after the big causers…

Turns out that lots of disposable cups produce negative environmental outcomes that can’t be reflected in the price itself. Taxing this behavior both a) discourages it and b) allows for the money gained from this to be used elsewhere to…

Ah, Valkyrie, where the Nazis had American, British, and German-accented actors because fuck verisimilitude and consistency.

His movies make $$$. Pretty simple as that. There also might be some blackmail/mutually-assured destruction aspect re which executives were at which parties.

...a story about fried bread that was invented by the Navajo due to colonialism and genocidal policies? How in the hell do you not bring colonialism up when it’s right there in the food’s origins? This isn’t some hundreds of years old recipe. This is created specifically due to American colonialism.

There used to be a good one in NYC named Cohen that cleaned up his clients’ sex crimes. Wonder what happened to him.

Considering that they formed a production company, DEN, specifically to make shows starring and for adolescent boys with a smaller focus on gay-themed (which on its face is a great idea for that era of the late 90s and its dearth of LGBT characters/storylines) but that managed to just be a front for underaged orgies…

And legally* black people weren’t allowed on TV back during Gunsmoke

*probably not legally

At least The Pillar and the City’s ending was changed from murder to just rape when they rereleased the book? Progress?

It’s especially dumb because they’re sex organ reveal parties anyway and not gender. Yay, your baby’s sex organs were deemed a penis! 

Yaaaas, the world/I needs more gay period pieces even if it’s tragic.
