Took the Where Should I Live? quiz online and I suppose you could call this a reaffirming result. whereidlive.com/where-should...
A map of the United States presenting the results of a "Where Should I Live?" quiz showing New York as number 1, Washington as number 2, Massachusetts as number 3, Illinois as number 4 for reasons I cannot fathom, and Oregon as number 5.

Pennsylvania and California are the same color as my top 2 results, in case that means anything. And there are a lot of yellow states, while a swath of middle America and the South (ND, SD, NE, OK, AR, MI, and AL) are all red.

My parents left my hometown in PA in 1996 and I can still recite their old number without hesitation. It was mine through all of high school and it was the one I used to call home from college. I can also recite the number I had in Indiana from 1993 to 2000, and I imagine some friends could too.

I graduated med school in 2014. I was taught-and saw-how hard melanoma was to treat, like a death sentence Since then, new treatments have made it possible for people w/ the most advanced melanoma, like Jimmy Carter, to live to 100! We are killing ourselves by letting them destroy American science

This is wild: only *one quarter* of the New Yorkers who live in the city today were there on 9/11. It's basically an entirely new city. Cities are magic: constantly changing, churning engines of human progress. This is why conservatives hate them.

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

New one today for @defector.com: in the wake of the most recent declaration of reading's demise, I was curious what booksellers, almost always ignored by the post-literate prognosticators, made of such claims. Here's what they told me:

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I have long believed that “what, to you, is Tim Curry’s definitive role” should replace Myers-Briggs, the enneagram and H*gwarts houses as our primary societal methodology for sorting categories of people I am a Frank-N-Furter sun with a Van Helsing moon and a Long John Silver rising

Give me a steak, no cheese with extra cheese.
Screenshot of an online ordering page for an item called "STEAK SANDWHICH" described as "BREAD AND RIBEYE STEAK NO CHEESE!" with an icon of a wedge of cheese with a red circle around it with the line across it. The item costs $17.99.

The first topping box, labeled "Xtra cheese," is selected. Adding extra cheese to a "steak, no cheese" sandwich costs an additional $2.99.

I think it's interesting how neatly you can organize the R.E.M. albums chronologically: - 5 albums on IRS - 5 albums on Warner Brothers with Bill Berry - 5 albums on Warner Brothers without Bill Berry My favorites bridge the first two phases, and I have not spent much time with the third phase.
