THE KUDU & THE OXPECKER
South Africa

This one always reminds me a bit of a Disney movie — I’m waiting for the two of them to break into a song about unexpected friendships.

Pasty (pronounced pass-tee, not paste-y)
or
Sauna (pronounced sow-nuh, not saw-nuh)

I'm a Yooper (from Michigan's Upper Peninsula). And while those two things and their pronounciations are native to the UK and Finland respectively, they're very big parts of our culture.

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

ZAZU
Yellow-Billed Hornbill
South Africa

In the animated version of The Lion King, Zazu was a sort of amalgamation of the yellow-billed and red-billed members of the hornbill family. In the “live action” CGI version, they picked a side and went full yellow.

An ongoing eruption at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano unleashed spectacular lava fountains that towered an astonishing 1,300 feet into the air — as high as New York's Empire State Building.

Oh no! RIP, Mr. Redford. Whenever people ask me to name the nicest Hollywood folks I got to meet during my film PR days, he's always on that list. A class act, and of course a legend.

Love this. The first time I saw Radiohead was during my freshman year in college. "Creep" was still new (and the only song I knew) and they were the opening act for REM.

The band will only play five venues in the U.K. and Europe—for now.

SO much better than my grandfather's Sanka. Prefer the real thing of course, but lots of solid instant options in a pinch.

I can't lie, I was pretty proud of this one. Glad you enjoyed (but don't choke).

I mean, she has to survive somehow -- streaming income ain't what it use to be. LOL

Anyone else having issues opening any stories where the media outlet uses bit.ly for their links? Times out on me every time and I have to instead go to the outlet's site to find the story. More often than not I just skip it.

Is this a common issue @bsky.app?

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.
