Would you rent your kids to a Republican? Seems dangerous.

Only if they rent my wife as part of the package? What kind of logic is that.

So I'm looking at this chart in the article on sea level rise by location:

I feel like I'm lacking some key knowledge here. How can the sea level rise be different in different parts of the coast? Shouldn't the average sea level rise be roughly equal worldwide?

Even if there's like a new strong current constantly pushing water into Galveston I'd expect it to average out over time. What am I missing?

In exchange for the bribes, Adams took actions that appeared to benefit Turkey’s leaders, including expediting the fire safety inspection at a consulate building and not releasing a statement on Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, according to the indictment.

I'm kind of shocked that a (friendly) foreign government would buy a mayor for these seemingly trivial things.

Of course, they completely ignored how things went when hurricane Irene knocked out power to the region. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t fun but folks were generally okay.

Reminds me of that big NYC blackout. The news was covering it like the whole city was going to fall into chaos with neighbors attacking each other and everything. Mostly it was just people chilling in the dark hoping to get their power back as soon as possible.

Unlike the Steele Dossier, which was both fraudulent and discredited...

What? IIRC, the author only clarified that a bunch of it was likely rumor. How does that make it fraudulent?

It is very privacy friendly [...]

What makes you believe that? The most information I could find about this is that it doesn't "save your session data." The Orbit privacy policy also seems a bit bare, and I can't decide if that's a good thing or not.

Either way, you're still sending data to a third party service to process. Might be worth it for some people.

More information about the privacy preserving ad measurement feature and how to disable it if you wanted. Mixed feelings.

A nationwide blackout. A broken economy. A widely contested presidential election. A populace terrified of its autocratic leader and his increasingly violent security forces.

What’s a president to do?

Declare the early arrival of Christmas, of course.

Facing widespread domestic and international criticism over his claim that he won a July presidential vote, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela is trying to turn the nation’s attention toward the one thing almost every Venezuelan loves: Christmas.

Looks like the content creator Karmakut has launched a game studio and is building this new tactical shooter. Curious how this plays out.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, confessed on Sunday that he had left a dead bear cub in Central Park in Manhattan in 2014 because he thought it would be “amusing.”

Mr. Kennedy posted a video detailing the bizarre story on social media apparently ahead of an article in The New Yorker.

Boar’s Head Provisions Co. recalled liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. The agency said a sample of Boar’s Head liverwurst from a Maryland store tested positive for listeria.

The company is also recalling deli-sliced meats made the same day on the same line as the contaminated liverwurst at a Virginia plant, the USDA said. The sample was from an unopened package, collected by health officials as part of an investigation into the listeria outbreak.

Desert Strike was probably one of the most influential games of my childhood. This game seems to be looking to scratch that itch.

Looks like it's so far just surface-level integration with Mastodon friends/DMs. But it's still nice seeing the fediverse embraced and integrated at all by what was once a walled garden.
