This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Reddest vs Bluest american baby names. Note these are NOT the most common names. Just the names with the biggest red-blue state prevalence divide. (lemmy.world)

Comparing states without county-level resolution is mostly useless. Had several people a few threads ago say Illinois is progressive. No, Chicagoland is progressive, rest of the state is almost all red.

This is how to view red vs. blue America.

Florida is less deep red than I would have expected.

There’s a ton of snowbirds from New England there.

These maps are totally misleading as all that red area is just mostly uninhabited, empty land.

I know, these are largely population maps, but they go to show that even Mississippians are plenty blue, they're just outnumbered.
