If possible, I think he did even worse in the second one, what with the chair-humping, following Hillary like a shark, and assuming the black audience member must be from the inner city.

He did well among Republicans, which was a definite improvement over his first debate performance.

It's called the black belt. The name doesn't have to do with the predominantly African-American populace but instead the fertile black soil which serves as the backbone for the region's agriculture.

Not like "real" flying insects, but they can weave webs that catch enough of the wind to lift and carry them. Originally they would do this to travel long distances but now updrafts bring them to the tops of skyscrapers. This only works for very small spiders, so don't worry about being divebombed by tarantulas.

Nope. They don't fly. Just checked. Still, whaaaat the gently caress.

Also:

A man claiming to be an expert on the spiders from an article detailing the spiders posted:

"Spiders are a wonderful part of our neighborhood ecology. If we didn't have spiders, we'd be neck-deep in flies by early summer," Sullivan said.

Someone needs to check this guy out. I'm pretty sure he's just a skin suit concealing thousands of intelligent spiders.


Edit: I literally had that loving comic copied and readied to paste in here if it turned out that yes the spiders could fly. :argh:

It's where most black people in the south live.

because that was where most of the plantations were prior to the civil war.

because that was there the best quality soil for planting and growing was.

because that area was a shallow coastline during the cretaceous period and had a ton of marine plankton in those seas at the time.

Sorry y'all have worked with bad architects. Ensuring that our designs can be built and are code compliant is a huge part of what we do so I don't know what to tell you. Though to be honest, as proud as I am of our work, we're probably never going to do anything crazy or pretentious enough to win a Pritzker. :shrug:

Yeah, I just work at a small 10 person college town firm that does solid educational, healthcare and residential work. If we don't do our stuff right we get sued into not existing.

To be fair, a good number of the Pritzker winners are actually very good architects. Too bad the juries didn't give Denise Scott Brown the price simultaneously with Robert Venturi.

It's hard to pin down, which is why people don't notice when they're touring a place before purchasing. It's more like a seasick feeling, the horizon not staying steady. A tall building in high winds is designed to shift a few inches horizontally (this is much better than the alternative, breaking in half), so it's not as pronounced as an earthquake or the rumble of a train passing by. It's just an uneasy wrongness.
