When I went to school in Galesburg, Peoria was the big city to visit when you needed to impress a date. And that is both sad and heartbreakingly sweet. When I hear "Don't Look Back in Anger", I think of Peoria.

A republican puts so many kids in a loving cage that a putting-kids-in-cages industry springs up overnight and I’m gonna side eye anyone with an R after their name who doesn’t offer to bathe in holy water to repent.

Every article about staying on standard time starts with some guy going “I’m sure you’re like me, going out for 5:00 am runs and wishing it was brighter out” I am *not* like you, and get back to the darkness where you belong.

Popete posted:But the "in the black" range is .81 - 1.0 so it includes counties that are technically "in the red" and also any value above 1.0 is blue/green so it just stands out and looks weird. It’s cuz it’s the urban environments. Like the thin blue line flag being surrounded by black. They can claim it’s because “it represents protecting law abiding citizens from those who wish to harm them” all they want, but nah.

Bird in a Blender posted:It's a complete loving joke that our federal government is so inept that states are grouping themselves together to make their own decisions separate from the feds. I guess this is one of the few times that our system of government with fairly independent states is actually going to be a plus. Let the balkanization of the US begin! Which governor will activate the national guard and turn on a neighboring state first?

Oak Brook has the mall barricaded at all exits and a checkpoint at the only functioning one. They’ve got cops meeting up in a parking lot and a fleet of dump trucks. It is....some odd suburban cop poo poo, that’s for sure.

KDdidit posted:The random soliciting ATT guys had masks on but pulled them down as soon as they started into their monologue. The "can we look at your roof?" guys had nothing and didn't even back away from the door when I opened it. Brookfield/LaGrange area I'd say is 95% (sort of) masked in decent stores and maybe 75% is the gas station/7-11 type places. Don't expect that to last through. Hello fellow near western suburbanite. I think these numbers are accurate. Probably as at the gas stations, to be honest, but all normal stores have been good. Watched a woman chase a man around a store yelling at him for not wearing a mask.

synapse posted:I voted in person in Dupage County. The first thing that shows up is the amendment in full screen. It feels different than the rest of the ballot. Someone voting near me did not know what it was. The poll worker said "that's JB's thing". If you skip the vote, it's counted as a No It was structured really weird on my ballot. The warning text is where I expected the measure to be and the proposal was way below eye level. It was physically difficult to read.

His dad’s Wikipedia page used to be funny because it’s all about how he jacked off reagan to get the orange line extension. Reagan called him up to thank him for defending him on Iran contra and asked if there’s anything he could do and then we got the orange line.
