  1. As you're going through, Mackinac City and to a lesser extent St. Ignace both have downtown shopping areas that are nice. Cool souvenir and outdoorsy shops in both places. Right after the bridge to the west there's a park with a super great lookout at the Bridge. I stop there every time I cross the bridge which used to be at least 1 time per year but sadly less often these days.
  2. I think Pictured Rocks is the best Michigan has to offer.
  3. I love that boat tour of pictured rocks Red, I've done it twice in the past 5 years. It's worth the money. My experience with both rides is that they do a loop, and the way out is slower/longer than the way back. This matters in terms of which side of the boat to get a seat on. And there will be a line to get good seats. And it will be cold on the boat if you sit outside which obvs you want to do.... right? Also be aware the boats can and do cancel a lot because of lake conditions. We had one of our rides cancelled because of 6-7 ft waves. Munising is unexpectedly cold as bleep. I took a long phone call on the lakeshore where the tour boats are last July and I had on a Sweatshirt and winter coat.... in july. The UP is amazing but really spread out and sadly a lot of the other sweet stuff is a ways away from Munising. There are a number of waterfalls around Munising and going to the lookout points above Pictured Rocks is pretty awesome too. Lots hiking available. Could probably spend .5 days or so in downtown Munising, there are some neat shops there esp for outdoorsy Patagonia types. Disregarding distance, things to check out in UP if you can: Soo Locks is nerd neat but kids will be bored. Can be uneventful if no boats but also very very slow when there is a boat lol. Bear farm place near Tfalls is really expensive and imo not worth it. Also probably not the most humane thing for the bears. Kipikichee (may have spelled that poorly) is pretty neat but maybe a bit overrated. Upper Taq Falls is beautiful, lower Taq Falls is super fun because you can get in the water. Bond Falls is really cool too but quite far away from Munising. Porcupine Mtns was super nice I thought. There's a brand of Wisconsin ice cream that alot of stores carry up there that is super delicious and you need to get some of that, I apologize I forget the name but you'll see it at all the places that sell ice cream cones.
  4. always be buying....
  5. Yeah I agree. My understanding is Ukraine is very adroit to the internet information warfare thing too.
  6. ok, what it sounds like is they're real people but the person they say requested the gay wedding website didn't request a gay wedding website and is straight married.
  7. a really wonderful side effect of the student loan case is getting to hear all of these boomer boostrap legends
  8. I've heard from several different commentators that the web designer and gay couple aren't even real people, it was all fake/hypothetical. Like the supreme court deciding on an Esweig thread. WTAF
  9. yeah that nuke plant thing is crazy, I just googled for more articles but doesn't seem updated with more info since the Russians evacuating. I'm not super knowledgable about who to trust on twitter re deep Ukraine war info, interested to see more info when available
  10. LOL nah it wasn't that bad. Looking back with what I know now, content analysis is basically a bp fastball for AI these days..... that job's most likely automated now! Regarding the shows, I will say it's entirely possible that my fondness for the show Rosanne was b/c of the stark opposition to Home Improvement which really really wasn't good. I don't really know much about Rosanne before she got that show but I gather she wasn't a new name and was already pretty polarizing. I also coincidentally saw her "open" for Michael Moore on some tour he was doing. So she was pretty far left.
  11. Long long ago when I was in college I had a job where I had to conduct content analysis on the highest rated television shows, which at the time was Rosanne and Home Improvement. I've seen every episode of the original Rosanne series at least 6 times. In those years, she was very progressive and the show was progressive as well. She's one of these people who somehow found their way from the left to Trump. I recall really liking Rosanne but dreading Home Improvement. Roseanne was pretty funny at that time.
  12. Typical fountain of misinformation from Lansing elitist
  13. The screenshots in the tweet from unvaccinated folks aren't complainimg about long covid. They're complaining about restaurants having crappy food.
  14. as with all matters of Mmerican jurisprudence, we should consult Sir Matthew Hale
  15. Based Mike Lee and Jenna Ellis? lmfao
  16. They also conveniently forget that Mueller was appointed by Trump admin as well
  17. Lol at wall street journal being british
  18. I'm in shock that everything the Republicans said about the FBI was exactly 💯 opposite of the truth. Probably an honest mistake
  19. Dr Hotez kicks ass.
  20. I love this pod but that's some boomer ass intro music
