Good to see a "South" that includes OK. As native Okie who lived mainly in the South (Va., La.), I get the cultural difference. But if you're going to expel the native pop and corral them in a territory, then you have to deal with complexity of including that territory in your regional definition.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows

There is a joke told in Turkey. A prisoner goes to the prison library to ask for a particular book. The librarian says, "We don't have the book -- but we have its author."

Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.

We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

This is a wonderful articulation of how it feels to be a Black person in white spaces, who for reasons of safety has to "laugh along with their own humiliation." This man is a very successful lawyer and will never be safe from it so imagine everyone else. Our identity is inherently political. 💔

Uh, that’s not a goat, dude.

Yes, it used to be in the current location of the gift shop.

Here's is the profile on Serigne:

In 2020, I profiled a Senegalese American chef with a pop-up in New Orleans. He planned to open a brick and mortar, but he needed investors.

I'm no longer in a newsroom, although I occasionally freelance. I'm doing research communications for a university.

I singed up for the Xylom newsletter. This is the first time I've seen you guys, but I like what you're doing.
