This is pretty interesting, and I think it does a good job of segmenting the Midwest. But I also think that making a distinction between "Northern Appalachia" and "Upstate" is just a sop to New York people who don't want to admit that a big part of their state is basically Appalachia.

William Hazen @williamhazen.bsky.social · 2d

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

Thanks for a great stream tonight!

I'll be live when the new snapshot lands this week!

Also, I'm working on a new video. I was going to do a new "The List" video (I got to 10 new ideas) but one idea has spun off into its own video.

I'm not talking about US politicians I'm talking about normal people.

I see people fighting back and organizing every fucking day. ICE hasn't met their recruitment goals. They haven't met their kidnapping goals. That's WHY they keep escalating.

When I suggested there could be life on Saturn's Moon Enceladus on the Imp & Skizz Podcast, this is why:

Detection of organic compounds in freshly ejected ice grains from Enceladus’s ocean - Nature Astronomy

Fresh ice grains from Enceladus’s plume were analysed during the highest-speed fly-by of the Cassini spacecraft. Organic compounds with a range of chemical structures were discovered, suggesting comprehensive subsurface chemistry on Enceladus.

After my dad died I’d skip class, grades dropped, detentions stacked, etc. I still drew but I didn’t care about anything. The principal called me into her office one day, figured I messed up again, but she just handed me a box of colored pencils and said “happy birthday”. NEVER forgot that.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

Trump and Republicans spread lies and scapegoat immigrants to distract you from how they are picking your pockets.
