      I assume because Mississippi is so horrible they need escapism to mentally survive. It’s also possible there are more families with young children in the South.

          It would be interesting to see a demographic breakdown of who is going to Barbie in MS.

          Another possibility is that they’re not watching Barbie more, just Oppenheimer less.

      Los Alamos is worth a visit. The lab is locked down (a road goes through it, you are not supposed to take pictures), but there are a couple really neat museums. One of the retired age volunteers at the museum asked us how deep of a discussion we wanted. He went down a deeep rabbit hole of chemistry and mechanical bomb design. It was obvious he had strong knowledge of how atom bombs worked. It was glorious. And the boys boarding school is also neat.

      This is Google trends, so it’s not necessarily trending because they like the movie. It could be hate trending cuz of the “feminism”

      Is the bomb program really that strong a part of the state identity? Can some locals comment?
