i feel like the question of which white people list their ethnicity as "American" (as opposed to English/German/whatever) is underdiscussed, and this map is very interesting window into it
(i'm admittedly assuming that the vast majority of ppl who say their ethnicity is "american" are white, but i'm willing to bet that's a safe assumption)
there's a map for the whole US by county in here. basically white-majority counties in appalachia and the south almost all have "american" as the #1 reported ancestry, while most of the north have a specific european ancestry, with "german" dominating washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/…
that is definitely the breakdown in the atlanta-area map and i'd love to see more granular data elsewhwere too!
!!!
not directly related, but obviously related: has anyone else done analysis of how many PUMAs/2008 hillary backers voted for trump over hillary 2016

the fun never stops with LA's most extremely cursed megaproject
metro reall wants to do this line as through-running w/the current green line bc they think most of its ridership will come from people who get off the green line now and transfer to north-south buses
but what this plan proposes is, what if we spend the first year after it opens working on the connection to the airport, so it'll only open as a short little line dangling off the expo line and not connecting to the green line at all

so years ago -- MANY years ago -- like definitely more than a decade ago at this point, i was helping test a new website design at a place where i was working, which included "social integration" with a number of sites, including LinkedIn
i was living in baltimore at the time. in order to test how this all worked, i had to create some fake profiles. my faked LinkedIn profile was named after the 5th century roman empress galla placida en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galla_Pla…
once we finished testing the site, i immediately forgot about this fake profile. also, i probably spent more time testing this LinkedIn integration than anyone actually spent using our interactive features logged in via their LinkedIn signin, but that's neither here nor there

regret to inform you, and to acknowledge to myself, that based on the trailer the new synder zombie movie looks incredible and i will see it
how are you going to take a zach snyder zombie movie, which sounds like to me like it would be a joyless slog, and give it an utterly generic title like "army of the dead". almost did not watch the trailer to learn it's a ZOMBIE HEIST MOVIE WITH TIG NOTARO IN IT?????
hahah oh my GOD

ok i'm a huge dummy about cooking and i have a hyperspecific cooking question that maybe a smart person here can help me with so i'm gonna tweet it out!!!
so BECAUSE i am a huge cooking dummy i ordered some meals last month from In Good Company, where local chefs make frozen versions of restaurant meals that you can heat up at home at your leisure. they've been great so far! eatigc.com
they come in washable, reusable metal containers, and in most cases you just stick these right in the oven to bake 'em Image

look i enjoyed watching PICARD a lot and i've enjoyed not thinking about it for a single moment since it ended even more, but season 2 fucks up the absolutely perfect coda to TNG that was "All Good Things" i'm gonna be pretty pissed off
"All Good Things" is a kind of magic trick: it ties a perfect bow around the TNG era from the emotional perpsective of the viewer, but doesn't try to "conclude" the internal action of the show, and in fact tells us the adventures of our friends will continue indefinitely
it even teases us with a vision of where the characters will "end up," only to in the end say that's only one possibility; their future is still unwritten
