@JeevesReginald1 @YIMBYLAND @Noahpinion Tokyo is objectively superior to NYC but it's not the same thing as being the world's city. Tokyo does not have the universal cultural recognition of NYC. everyone knows times square and central park by sight but not everyone knows shibuya crossing and yoyogi park, etc.

Bachelor/ette trips to Nashville don’t count

One of the more interesting stock characters of 2020s America: devoted country music fan from the Northeastern suburbs who never leaves the tri-state area or travels to the South

@pitdesi @Noahpinion Houston, despite having a f'ed up layout and being ugly, is one of the most culturally dynamic cities in the US. Totally unique blend of Southwestern, Latino, Asian, African American, Cajun and other cultural influences that produced such things as Viet-Cajun cuisine

@DestroyerGo4 @LouisSummer_Jr Could still be the case but I imagine. he's done a lot more "preparation of the battlespace" probably has songs loaded up for different people and has strategies for promotion / narrative control instead of assuming the music will stand on its own

[Jay Rad @jayrad_27]

@DestroyerGo4 @LouisSummer_Jr To be fair FM was a bomb and would have taken out most other rappers. I don't really know if anything would have done the job in the environment of 2024. Not to make excuses but it was clearly just not a neutral battlefield

@iiiccceeeman I'm a drake fan but why would dot care if there were 1 or 2 or 3 albums? It would probably be worse for him if it was just iceman and the one album full of disses did 600k first week (which it would probably do without MOH and Habibti)

[Jay Rad @jayrad_27]

@mercymeinfinity A huge problem with FATD was that it was marketed as the return of "old Drake." I don't know who came up with that one

These are the Ridglan Beagles

Ridglan beagles are the beagles bred and raised at Ridglan Farms, a long-running commercial dog breeding and biomedical research facility in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin

A court settlement has freed them from being used for medical testing

Many here are touching grass, venturing outside for the first time in their lives

@Whats_the_dirt #20 vocalist of all time 🤣😂

So after all this:

- The Iranian regime remains in place
- The enriched uranium remains in place
- Iran remains in control of the Strait of Hormuz, though it agrees to let ships through, for now
- The US agrees to talks based on Iran’s terms, including an end to all sanctions and Iran gets to charge $2 million a ship for passage through the Strait, in perpetuity.
- Meanwhile NATO is in ruins, the US and Israel are at odds, the Gulf States know they cannot depend on the US to protect them, etc etc etc

“Another such victory and we are undone!”

@EvanCull @dieworkwear Here's a half-canvassed hopsack sport coat for $348 (would be cheaper sans tariffs)

@ProblematicTrey Doesn't his take favor Drake having classics anyway? People can debate the "quality" of Drake's albums, whether they are too bloated or have too many skips, but it's undeniable that SFG, TC, NWTS, and all IYRTITL (at minimum) had huge impact on hip hop

@ZaidJilani There's an alternate universe where Jasmine Crockett positions herself as a Bernie-style economic populist is an unstoppable Dem primary candidate (which is part of why the path she has instead chosen is so egregious)

A New York Times investigation indicates that it was a US strike on an Iranian school that killed 175 people, mostly children. https://t.co/YoR5WY3bWn

[Jay Rad @jayrad_27]

@Boston__Sucks @ZaidJilani Unfortunately the latter. IMO there were two people who know what went down that night, one of whom is dead. I would not suggest there is enough to convict but the ransom note is just not consistent with an intruder in my opinion

[Jay Rad @jayrad_27]

@Boston__Sucks @ZaidJilani Don't think JBR is a DNA case. The touch DNA they found on her underwear was likely transferred there at some point in the manufacturing/retail supply chain. Red herring

@ADavidHaleJoint And GT's 1 win against a bowl-eligible opponent is bogus (and would also elevate Wake to the 4-win category if decided correctly)
