"Thanks to the record-setting rain that has washed over California during the last six months, Lake Manly — which dried up thousands of years ago — has reformed on the floor of Badwater Basin, the lowest point in North America. This unlikely and exceedingly rare comeback is a message from the warming climate, which baked the region in a years-long megadrought and has now flooded it with rain."

The joy one feels whilst eating the penultimate pancake, knowing that there is yet another to come, is balanced in equal measure by the despair at the realization that there is but one more remaining.

Florida man whose grandfather was from Germany, whose mother was from Scotland, and whose wife is from Slovenia, believes immigrants poison the blood of the USA.

Anyone figure out how to follow a Threads account on Mastodon? I want to see their new Fediverse integration working for myself

This East-side restaurant was just getting started in a new location, when it was damaged by a fire. Help them out, if you can! https://gofund.me/6220e7ae #HoosierMast :indiana: :indiana: :indiana:

This week's #EasyGerman conversation was a bit more challenging, and not just because of vocabulary or grammar.

Will future historians say that this is the day Trumpism finally died?

@cbssunday It’s great to see #cbsnews features on Mastodon! I also love everything Seth Doane does. I have just one gripe: subtitles for people speaking in English. Why does Tifolis Abacab (sp?) need them, when Paul Schumacher (sp?) does not? They both have rather noticeable accents.

This is so similar to what happened to me when I started researching the "Race and Intelligence" article complex on the Wikipedia it's uncanny... only I got zero support and most of the errors I corrected were reverted. And I stopped editing after a year of that. Maybe things have changed and I'll try again.

I say: :The book is the book. It is a space between covers to be tamed. Its finitude makes demands upon author and editor, who decide what fits, what is worth saying, and what they hope is worth discussing and preserving—though the reader is the one who will ultimately make those decisions, who finishes making the book." 6/
