the united states of america

I hate those too.

Nothing like driving due west from Shreveport to Tulsa.

That slow lift from east to west across Kansas, Nebraska, etc.

the walls of the sierra nevada and by the snake river on that map are cool

i've never considered redrawing borders based on 'our weather is pretty much the same' but i love it

A little miffed that the Norman, Okla., and Pleasant Hill, Mo. stations are named after the town they're in while the Little Rock NWS is located in North Little Rock, Ark.

The narkissism of little differences

tbf the arkansas travelers are based in north little rock and are rather more grasping

lol @ silby

I envision the Caribou weather station as being staffed by caribou

arkansas travelers are indeed based in arkansas though. we've had this conversation.

have we now

Kansas City is not going to be happy about this.

That is about the most stupid "analysis" I have ever encountered

Texas be sooooo pissed (rightly so)

Yes, we've seen the "Top Cities for BBQ in the US" @TripAdvisor map.

Our official statement is "LOL."

— Texas Monthly (@TexasMonthly) May 13, 2021

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

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
