Not really-- just some good, old fashioned yard signin'. It's about as American as apple pie and stomping out tyranny.

I loved the @nytimes.com top 100 movies list, but no surprise the biggest omissions were all iconic chick flicks: Devil Wears Prada, Legally Blonde, Bridget Jones' Diary, Mean Girls & Erin Brockovich. These 5 did more to define the 2000s the other 100 combined.

the holy trinity of denial
When it comes to atrocities, psychologist Stanley Cohen identifies three forms of denial: literal denial (it didn’t happen), interpretive denial (it wasn’t what it seems) and implicatory denial (it doesn’t matter). Confirmation bias plays a part here, too. Imagine you had a close friend or family member who was accused of unspeakable crimes. from Washington Post opinion A genocide is happening in Gaza. We should say so by Shadi Hamid You’d have strong incentives to explain away their actions — or, better yet, deny that they committed them in the first place. To admit that someone you love was capable of evil can simply be too difficult, because in some sense that realization would implicate you as well.

92% of all rail ridership in Tennessee, a state with a GDP comparable to Denmark, comes from Dollywood's Express heritage train ride.

27 states have less rail transit ridership than Dollywood.
Read that again.
A U.S. map titled "U.S. States With Less Rail Transit Ridership Than Dollywood" highlights states in shades of pink and purple to indicate their GDP, ranging from $36 billion to $566 billion. States shown in color have less annual rail transit ridership than Dollywood’s steam train. Gray states are not included in this comparison. The map excludes Amtrak services. Major cities like Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago, New York, Washington D.C., and Dollywood are labeled. The data source is USA Facts, and the map was created with Datawrapper by The Transit Guy.
