the united states of america

Technically speaking that is a map of cities where TripAdvisor users have the lowest standards for barbecue

That said, I have eaten some excellent barbecue in southern VA not far from Virginia Beach, very vinegary and not at all like the Texas style, dug it

the cedar plank salmon in seattle is really hitting i guess?

a salvadorian texas style bbq place just opened up near me outside of DC and it's fucking me up how good it is

This map is a little old (2015):

But it is crazy to see how close they get to each other.

cursed map

depressing bump, sorry

Today, every state in the country meets the CDC definition of having high COVID transmission

This warrants an indoor mask policy in every state in the country based on CDC guidance

Only 7 states + DC have mask policieshttps://t.co/iem755dJxt pic.twitter.com/xdPCnqo3lI

Always like it when the state outlines use three-digit numbers:

Like, lose some weight, MO 139!

new mexico though. wtf!

what's wrong with it? i don't think it's appropriative; that's the state flag and (as far as I'm aware) not a coopting of a specific native symbol.

North Dakota quite a bit more sus

I never decided if Washington's silhouette of George's head was brilliant or stupid but it was orders of magnitude better than the state flag with his visage

rip melbun

just so the aussies have some context, these days i live in Birdville, Queensland 4482

it's a landlocked state

apparently I'm in Cancun, so I've taken my top off

matttkkkk have you heard my cancun story? it's hilarious

lay it on me

sorry, my computer died in the middle of this, i think, so i went to bed! this story is not that hilarious, i was trying to be tongue in cheek

cancun

it was like, 1990. or 1991 or 1988. around there. i was 5 to 7 years old? my family flew to cancun. it was the first and only time i ever traveled out of the country with them. i remember four things about it. first, in the airport in cancun, my dad and i were pissing next to each other at urinals, which was already weird, and then i saw a big cockroach in the urinal and was startled and afraid to pee on it. second, we were walking in some street market and a big older guy kept pointing at me and calling me a bambino. as i already knew that babe ruth had an AKA "the bambino", i understood this as a sort of compliment. third, i had orange juice and i didn't think it was good. my mom said it's because they didn't put sugar in it. fourth, i threw up all over the place on a beach, and then as we were all packing up and walking off, someone new walked up to our big open space and put their beach chair right in the middle of the puke

as specific as this post is, i wouldn’t be surprised if there are elements to it that form a part of a great deal of cancun experiences ^

guys this one is blowing my mind
