Early European explorers *hated* the prairie

The most "boring" drive between two American cities: Denver to Kansas City, MO.

@masonls1066 A common language is almost necessary for a nation-state to function. Canada, Spain, Belgium all are worsened by separatist threats and ethnic patronage schemes. Switzerland and Singapore may be the only in the world to pull this off successfully
English
The dying of local American languages such as Louisiana French or Texas German is really sad. As with the disappearance of local cultures, it is the erasure of our country’s actual beautiful diversity with a globalized and homogenized culture.
Traces of Texas@TracesofTexas
Here's a handy map of German settlement in Texas. It's pretty interesting to look at. I guess I never realized that Dallas county and McClennan county were such huge German destinations. I'm surprised Comal county isn't solid green, being that New Braunfels is there.

@alexbronzini Idk why but they always think pinning the fraidycat label on you is a killshot.
English
The worst armchair quarterbacking I’ve ever seen on this site
English
@gamegeek1995 @alexbronzini Lol when was Paxton ever accused of being a pedo rapist?
English
@alexbronzini Partially right though. "I eat meat. Paxton is too much of a fucking moron to actually come up with a good insult. If people insult me for shit I've actually done, good on them. I'll insult Paxton on what he's actually done - defend pedo rapists. People like himself."

When right wingers post their idea of a MAGA town, it voted for Harris by 50.
When left wingers post their idea of a MAGA town, it voted for Harris by 50.
Where the hell do all the actual MAGA voters live?
Andrew@AndrewDahDude
The town in this picture voted for Harris by 49 points. Bluer than every single state.

@memecoinslunar @Shiftant Minneapolis is nearly 60% German/Nordic. The political leadership is most minorities but whites elect them as avatars to champion Scandi-socialist hobbyhorses
English
@Shiftant Maybe 50 years ago these were true. Now, NYC = Dominicans. Minneapolis = Somalians. Etc.
English
Atlanta: Capital city of Black Americans
NYC: Capital of Jewish Americans
LA: Capital of Mexican Americans
Boston: Capital of Irish Americans
Miami: Capital of Caribbean Americans
SF: Capital of Chinese Americans
Minneapolis: Capital of Scandinavian Americans
English
@sakaria_ldn @Shiftant Minneapolis is still dominated by Germanic whites. City is nearly 60% white. One of only 4 cities in the US top 25 that is >50% (others Seattle, Portland, Denver)
English
@Shiftant Minneapolis is Somali. Lots of Scandinavians in the suburbs and rural areas, even St Paul, not so much Minneapolis they tend to avoid there….
English
@Lib_Development These people wouldnt want to live there anyway. And if they want to experience it there are pockets they can find it.
I agree maybe it makes cross-country trips less scenic. But that drawback is incomparable to the caloric abundance we gained
English
And now it’s more useful for everyone involved. Perhaps people concerned about biodiversity elsewhere could take note
Dion@2024dion
It took <100 years for American settlers to destroy fully 99% of this unique landscape and the thousands of species of plants and animals that called it home
English
@thefox235654261 @sunsaltspray @BarneyFlames Only 9-10% of English Canadians speak French. In return for that they have to deal with perennial separatist threats violent and non-violent and idiotic market inefficiencies resulting from crony political horse-trading
English
@sunsaltspray @BarneyFlames Yes, but forcing Americans to learn more than one language is a hugely beneficial trait, as it is not only correlated with greater intelligence in adulthood, but also a better chance of avoiding or suffering less from cognitive decline when elderly.
English
Separatist tendencies must be crushed actually

The sad part is America could have had linguistically different region but ww1 and forced assimilation basically killed it
English
Why would anyone want this? Politics at the federal level would descend into linguo-ethnic factionalism immediately

@nsedef @JoePostingg You dont know about the 2017 Justice Democrats casting call? Obviously it's not the DCCC, more like Thiel and Claremont recruiting Vance for Senate
English
@JoePostingg They had nothing to do with Mamdani.
Mamdani got endorsements from AOC and Bernie Sanders.
DC consultant class had zero to do with his win.
He’s a lot like AOC that way.

@KarenFirma62702 @BrentScher @Joshua_the_car @realDailyWire @TimRiceDC She's best positioned as an incumbent R to win in a blue state

NEW: It’s real. Here is Graham Platner’s active profile on Kik, a “predators paradise” app known as a hotbed for child pornography, kidnapping, and sexual abuse.

@WSJ I don't care about inappropriate texts. It seems like it was consensual. I do care about Susan Collins who has supported Donald Trump.

The wife of the Maine’s Democratic Senate candidate disclosed the texts between Platner and other women to his campaign. on.wsj.com/4wUyPKR

We do it right in Minnesota. Having stand alone dedicated liquor stores is better than two aisles in a grocery store.

i love teaching customers about minnesota liquor laws like no you can’t buy alcohol in the grocery store are u crazy

@Y2K_mindset Can they frickin add it to Prime Video or Tubi or something already?

People will be shocked at the sharply polarized reception Megalopolis got at the time.

It’s wild that in 1000 years there will be like 5-8 movies that stand in for all the movies ever made

@BrokeBoyCap @JoshKale How is Blue Origin's existence slowing down SpaceX? I dont think Elon sees it that way
English
@JoshKale Why can’t we just let Elon take care of space and rockets? Blue Origin keeps on screwing things up and it’s holding us back.
English
This New Glenn rocket explosion released 20% of the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb and that wasn't even the bad part:
→ The pad: LC-36 is the only pad on Earth that launches New Glenn and now it's gone. Over $1B to build. SpaceX needed 7 months to rebuild after a similar hit.
→ The deadline: Amazon needs 1,618 satellites up by July 30 to keep its FCC license. It has ~300. The rocket that was supposed to help fix that just blew up twice in a row
SpaceX made us believe that landing rockets on barges was a normal expectation. Turns out rocket science is hard after all. Wishing the team a speedy recovery 🚀
Blue Origin@blueorigin
We experienced an anomaly during today's hotfire test. All personnel have been accounted for. We will provide updates as we learn more.

@Space_Enthusian @weliveinhell_ @Brazmeso If you have passing familiarity with Boston or RI you would know Cape Verde reasonably well
English
@weliveinhell_ @Brazmeso A lot of those are more culturally relevant/vacation destinations
.tv websites
Banking in ST/P, Liechtenstein, etc
Cape Verde is a good contender
English
I genuinely think this is the least talked about country on the planet. What even happens there

@SeanTrende @davidwoolw38361 Is there religion stuff beyond the God-nonbinary comment? I mean that’s not great, but it’s not as bad as Paxton’s baggage, and Talarico has walked it back. These things are not equal
English
I guess my final thought (lol) on the Talarico religion stuff: Before it, I thought his religious background was a genuine positive. A run-of-the-mill presbyterian seminarian would appeal to a lot of non-evangelical or soft-evangelical voters. Today? 1/
