I love California coffee shops but the names are just aggravating my flinty NE upbringing with names like “Coffeeism” or “Koffi”

Day 6: A song that feels strangely out of place on its album.

Dar Williams - Flinty Kind of Woman.
It's out of place since it wasn't on the first independent release I had purchased and was added to newer releases.

"Or of the many times she took stands, flinty and defiant, railing against doping, against homophobia, against genocide in Gaza."

"[They] make religion a cold and flinty-hearted thing, having neither principles of right action, nor bowels of compassion. They strip the love of God of its beauty, and leave the throng of religion a huge, horrible, repulsive form. It is a religion for oppressors, tyrants, man-stealers, and thugs."
Yeah, I cannot emphasize enough how much evangelical support for Trump represents a failure in theology, pedagogy, and morality. The entire thing centered on recognizing just this type of figure and resisting him as a religious duty.
The Left Behind crowd is too busy trying to figure out how to vote for Nicholai Carpathia for a fourth time.

They always said shit to me like “we’re just flinty Yankees” and I was like, nah man, something is wrong up here.

🥂 we moved to ME in the 1600s. Lived in NH, which just dumped Sununu. And Masshole fam too.

Some days it's just good to have flinty New England roots.

While the world said we weren’t doing enough, we were. Oh, we were. From the hunkering down to the saddling up. We were sad but stoic and dare I say flinty. No more heroes? SO MANY HEROES.

So the flinty, hard-working, no-nonsense country folk of the North Country have chosen... this, uhh, seemingly very high-nonsense guy to represent them in DC, eh

This one is so fantastic! Evocative, dreary, hazy & production design that feels extremely modern, and the performances are outstanding. Patrick Bergin is a confident rapscallion, and Thurman all flinty & mischievous.

‘Troopers’ has some gripping scenes of military conflict, but it is mostly very talky, addressing military training, organization, and philosophy.

So in the context of the novel, the cavalcade of war crimes in the prologue chapter MUST be deliberate, what RAH takes as the flinty truth of war.

Republicans should try moderating their national image on unpopular niche culture wars conspiracies and focus on bread and butter government efficiency instead of relying on waning legacy affection for candidates like Susan Collins to win in flinty New England /gonzo Matt Yglesias

Yes and that second sentence is a feature designed into the system by skeptical, flinty-eyed 18th century thinkers.

"But Stephanie played fierce and flinty characters so often and so well… Can you really do that without being a little bit that way yourself? Well, as you all know, in Steph’s case the answer was, yes, you absolutely can. I believe it’s called ‘acting’."

I just finished reading New England Week at @flaminghydra.com and enjoyed it as much as a flinty New Englander is ever allowed to enjoy anything.

Kudos to @lukeoneil47.bsky.social for correctly IDing Worcester as New England's best city as well. Accurate. Also...

I assured him I was naturally hard—very flinty, and that he would often find me so; . . . he should know fully what sort of a bargain he had made, while there was yet time to rescind it.

So sorry to hear this Flinty, sending hugs and we're here if you need a listening ear

I think my best reply to a tweet back on that other place was from Flinty Badman giving me the thumbs up about the misheard lyrics.

The Tents of Maize

The Shocks of Maize like Wigwams stand —
Across the sloping Rye —
An Army bivouacked in Gold —
Beneath a flinty Sky —

They wait no Bugle from the North —
To bid their Camp disband —
The Solitude is Occupant —
Of all the chilly Land —

~ Love, Sophie 😺🙏
