Here's a map of how iron ore mined in Minnesota moves (the red lines). Note the markers for where steel facilities are located, they're where they are because you have to move the stuff on ships. There are no steel mills in Iowa of any size because you can't get the fucking stuff it's made of there

THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE (2026, John Wilson): your most charming, easily-distracted friend tells you an anecdote that kind of goes all over the place, but he's REALLY good at noticing things, even when you occasionally find yourself thinking "okay, but this IS going somewhere, right?"

Talking about why Rahm Emanuel is a bad candidate on the merits and actually going into his record is giving way too much credit to Rahm Emanuel. When your 5 year old says he's going to drive a car to Saturn you don't explain why cars can't achieve space travel. You say "cool, sounds fun!"

the specific "HELLO IT IS 2006" music cues in PRIMETIME caused the precise level of psychic damage as an elder millennial, 13/10, would scream-laugh at identifying the opening strains of Fergie's "London Bridge" again
