East of the 100th meridian—running through the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas—rainfall exceeds 30 inches yearly, feeding fertile soils and rivers that powered early farms and factories. The Rockies create a rain shadow west of it, dropping precipitation below 20 inches and favoring ranching over dense settlements, while federal ownership covers 47% of Western land as parks and forests. Harsh weather, tornadoes, droughts, and historical resistance slowed growth across the arid Great Plains, drawing a clear divide in how America settled and lives.

Key Takeaway

A vivid map reveals why four out of five Americans crowd east of a simple north-south line through the Plains. Vast open spaces stretch westward, shaped by nature's firm hand.

The clip revives SZA's longstanding explanation tying her name to the Supreme Alphabet of the Five-Percent Nation, a system she's referenced since at least 2017 in interviews with Genius and InStyle.

The back-and-forth underscores divides in understanding Black spiritual traditions, all while SZA, real name Solána Rowe, stays true to her personal lore from Ctrl to SOS.

Key Takeaway

In an old video clip, SZA breaks down her stage name with passion, linking S to savior, Z to knowledge and wisdom, and A to Allah from the Supreme Alphabet. Her freeform style draws both support and skepticism.

Journalist Dahlia Kurtz shared the November 19 photo, accusing the university of ignoring antisemitism and tagging @uofg directly. Replies flooded with skepticism over the sloppy, backward swastika—more like a Buddhist symbol—and the oddly censored 'ni-word,' with many calling it a likely hoax or self-made stunt. No police or university response has come, amid ongoing campus tensions since October 2023, though Hillel Guelph demanded action over swastikas. The backlash highlights how unverified images fuel online divides on hate reports.

Key Takeaway

A Jewish student at the University of Guelph woke up to a pink paper witch, a backward swastika-like symbol, and a censored slur taped to her dorm door. The image went viral, but X users quickly mocked its amateur look, questioning if it's real.
