And finally, new data from Nameberry says people in red states are giving their kids the classic Jewish name Cohen (sometimes with the spelling Kohen). Our @CultureDesk featured this Forward story by Benyamin Cohen and Mira Fox, who are trying to figure out why. Theories include that people are naming their children after the directing duo the Coen brothers, or that it’s a co-opting by Christians of Jewish traditions. Says Benyamin: “I think it’s clever to give pets human names. We have chickens and each one is named after an NPR broadcaster. We have Terry Gross, Yuki Noguchi, Nina Totenberg and so on. We’re actually on our third Melissa Block. The first two, alas, are in chicken heaven now.” Mira replies: “And they all, of course, have your last name.” Benyamin: “Yes, yes. We call them the Co-Hens. I wonder what Nameberry would think of that.”

"People are fleeing Austin, #Texas in droves. The city lost -13,500 ppl to outbound migration in 2024.

The biggest drop the city has ever experienced.

This outmigration has now caused Austin's #housing market to collapse. With home prices down 19.5% over the last two+ years.

Some of these ppl leaving Austin head to the suburbs like Williamson & Hays County, others are going back to CA & NY."
-N Gerli

It's hell living in TX -many ppl are fleeing the fascist state.

There are thousands of #trans people that need to move from #RedStates to #BlueStates.

Like, this is a matter of survival.
However, how are they going to do that? You need a specialized skill to get a job across state lines. You need money to stay somewhere while you find housing.

Can we figure out an underground railroad from the red states to the blue states? Can we figure out how to get people the resources they need when they arrive at the bright blue city?
