Calvados is what AppleJack wants to be when it grows up.

“Well, Bob, I’m half asleep and day-dreaming of walking my dog in Candyland while a gigantic Tux ravages the city. Did you know you can report status asynchronously using this magical invention called ‘writing’? Or if that’s just a bridge too far, there’s always Vlogging.”

Yeah, the Maps ship has sailed. I’ve mostly had good luck with Apple Maps in the last couple years, but I continue to hear people explain why they refuse to trust it with decent anecdotes. Seems to vary city-by-city in quality.

Indieweb.org is, uh, fun. Some good stuff with a strong admixture of wtfs-per-minute.

There’s a racist joke along those lines about the Polish that I recall. “How do you know you’re in a Polish neighborhood?”

Dates back to the time when it was the European immigrants to America that everyone discriminated against, rather than the Mexican. They threw in some religious discrimination for extra fun back then - nowadays it seems purely ethnic (or at least no longer anti-Catholic, but anti-Muslim instead, which doesn’t much blend with the anti-Mexican sentiment).

(My family name is Polish, reconfigured by way of Ellis Island.)
