As a Houstonian, I’m honor-bound to join you in your antipathy toward Dallas. Fucking Dallas. Blows my mind why anyone goes there willingly.

It is terribly crowded. And there isn’t enough shade, or places to sit. Still, at least some of the rides are really well done, have air-conditioned lines, and are of decent length. I went to Knott’s berry farm a month or two ago, and I’d say that was worse. Terrible food options with insane markups—like, at a cafeteria-style bbq place, a single beer costs $16.50. And we waited for over an hour in the sun for what felt like a 30-second ride (This site lists it at 1:02, but I’m skeptical).

Excellent documentary about the legacy of violence in Indonesia https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375605/?ref_=ext_shr
