This was Vivian Wilson's first interview, was it not?

How dare you question the journalistic integrity of...Newsweek?

Newsweek has been vapid and awful for a long time my man. A better question to ask would be why did OP choose to link Newsweek here

Paul Begala is as "Democratic insider" as you can get, and is also an insufferable talking head. The point of getting a message like this out there is to undermine public perception of the Trump/Vance ticket more than anything

In response to Newsweek's request for comment on Begala's prediction, Trump/Vance campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said that "there's a reason Paul Beluga [sic] no longer gets paid for his political advice."

Lol

While Haley might have a broader appeal to undecided voters than Vance, her status as the last Republican to mount a primary challenge against Trump, when the former president often referred to her as "birdbrain," may make the scenario unlikely.

Lmao

Unfortunately for her, a whole bunch of her supporters supported her because they hate Donald Trump.

This NYT piece is awful. What happened to them?

Yeah, no one had ever even heard of Kamala Harris before a week ago, and she has no track record to speak of, so all we know about her are platitudes from the past few days /s

Ok, but this has pretty much nothing to do with unexplained disappearances, especially given the large homeless populations in other cities that are not showing on here. But really, this map cannot be relied on since we have no idea where the data is derived from, and we can barely even see it due to the poor resolution

If .zip is your home instance, why do you care about with whom .world federates?

By this logic, people's voting power should depend on their age, and people with terminal illnesses should have no vote. Incredibly dystopian

I just copied that sentence and was about to paste it here lmao

A group of European-American pioneers got lost here in the winter of 1849-1850, while looking for a shortcut to the gold fields of California, giving Death Valley its grim name. Although only one of the group members died here, they all assumed that the valley would be their grave.

I bet more people have died at each of the other 3 parks than at Death Valley NP. Maybe there's data out there on that somewhere

I assume you have to pay a fee to enter Death Valley National Park, and like every National Park I assume the rangers at the entrance and signage all throughout warn you of potential dangers. You can easily get yourself in trouble at Yellowstone, Rocky Mountain, or Big Bend National Parks, for example, if you don't take the risks seriously and make poor decisions.
