We should make people in the south do this for Waffle House hashbrown orders.

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

The ferry scene with the emotional reinforcement PSH’s character does with the son he’s running by hugging him is devastating.

Lancaster in that area is the same way. Lancaster SC completely different

Rutherfordton, Leicester

A huge portion are place names. Outside Augusta, GA there’s a town called Martinez and you pronounce it as if you’ve never heard a native Spanish speaker in your life.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 2d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

No, Little Wilson 2, nooooooo. The dark paths your father took. No.

I also have relatives in 52 and 53 and the map is right, completely different places.

Robert Wilson @frcolumba.bsky.social · 3d

This is very good for the areas I'm familiar with and have lived in 39, 41, and 42. My only caveat is that 39 probably needs two regions, N Georgia, East TN, and Western NC in one, and the rest in another.

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.

It’s getting ready to get worse. “Columbus” Day weekend at Disney is a NE traveler high period.

There are people pushing back against their digital worker and retiree visas because of this kind of thing. There was a CNN article where an ex-pat said “there are areas in Lisbon where you barely hear Portuguese.”

Time to play the “how damaged are my albums from being in the garage” game. Kid Two is going to be in charge of living room music after getting a victrola all-in-one.

Chicken tax already covered light but I think that's mostly gotten around by going through Mexico and Canada. We had a plant here in SC that put together "kits" of Daimler vans for years to get around it. I don't know how you tell the difference between medium and heavy... dump trucks v semi?

Genetics is crazy with this, too. I've only had one surgery and after being wheeled in I was like "hi" and the nurse anesthesiologist looked at me and said "your beard is red" and pressed a button and I was gone. I was supposed to be out before coming in the room but it wasn't strong enough.

I've never been able to answer because it's so arbitrary I just say "Five? I don't know." The first day I took meloxicam was eye-opening. I had no idea what you're "supposed" to feel like. Like my hips and knees aren't constantly asking for attention.

One of the best movies ever made.

Paul Schrader’s ‘Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters’ to Finally Screen in Japan After 40-Year De Facto Ban

After decades of political sensitivities and threats kept it from screens, Schrader’s Yukio Mishima biopic, considered by many his masterpiece, will finally play for Japanese audiences.

I haven’t done the complete numbers, but when a bunch of us “gifted kids” from the 70s-80s reconnected in the early 2000s, it was something like a 50% college degree rate. High drug use, lots of travel, adrenaline seeking. It took me 10 yrs to get a BA. Boredom discussion is a joke.

I am glad this is up the road. I can only imagine getting called in on this one.

BUM CHILLUPS AKA SPENCER HALL @edsbs.bsky.social · 8d

This rooster, by nature of being pedigreed, somehow escapes classification as poultry? Yet he struts around and demands chicken-type amenities, and awakens the farm noisily at dawn as he pleases? Curious.

Actually caught Capt. B doing the Kubrick Stare.

No Literature of Value. No Art. No...

Robert Wilson @frcolumba.bsky.social · Jun 6

Not a fan of the Mishima comparisons on account of “has not and will not produce literature of value.”
