the united states of america

There’s a growing import/export scene happening on the borders of red and states. Bargain basement prices

in this version of our future, the united states not only faces rising waters on coasts, but also a growing fog of war that conceals with its arrival rather than illuminating, approaching from the northern and southern borders with equal intensity

ALSO tornadoes that move laterally from east to west.

The key to escaping tornado is to be unpredictable in your own movements

that is actually pretty awesome. lots of details - keep an eye on roswell for a minute. and the northern lights in alaska

initial covid response?

It'll make more sense here in a couple of years.

You know, when the Missouri River changes course and begins flowing through Arkansas.

Wait, does black mean no "Jeapordy" at all? The poor dears.

They're probably so small, they mooch off one of the other surrounding markets.

Mankato, Minn., for example, is a market with one television station, an NBC affiliate.

Zanesville, Ohio, has only one station, WHIZ.

wheres that big one, northern mississippi?

Tupelo.

Relevant to the thread:

Like WGN in Chicago or WTBS in Atlanta. No network affiliation.

the eye is naturally drawn to the borders that aren't rivers. the border between idaho and montana is the continental divide. the border of virginia and west virginia is...existing county lines? seems overly complicated ya'll

the border of virginia and west virginia is...existing county lines?

You're close. those county lines mostly going across the top of the mountains, dividing one side of the mountain from the other.

(Same for VA/KY and VA/TN.)

he's right

if you zoom in on the texas-oklahoma border it would be so much simpler if the river decided the boundary, but no, there are all these weird little loops and oxbows that make everything confusing

that's the problem with using rivers as borders, the red river has changed course over the past century or but the border technically remains the same

i wonder if anyone being charged for a crime involving an illegal crossing of a river state border has ever used the "No one ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same person" defense

your honor, as famed radio personality john peel once said of the fall,

Twerk is a gen x slang term. As a Marylander, I feel robbed.

Basic and fleek are millennial terms, I thought

Fleek is definitely Millenial. Basic is GenX. Low Key has been around forever, no?
