As discussed previously, the “impeach this” map has some issues. Mainly, it equates land area to votes, which makes for a lot of visual attention to counties that are big even though not many people live in them. So, Karim Douïeb used a clever transition to change the bivariate map to a cartogram. Now you can have a dual view.
LOL. I hope the NHL doesn't do something shitty.... can't watch NFL or NBA anymore!
BEIJING—On the heels of recent pro-Hong Kong comments by Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey, Chinese officials responded to the criticism Tuesday by moving millions of Chinese citizens to NHL re-fanification camps. “To show that China will not tolerate this flagrant disrespect for our nation amongst the ranks of the NBA,…

Jupiter and the Moons
After sunset on October 3, some of the Solar System's largest moons
stood low along the western horizon with
the largest planet.
Just after nightfall, a pairing of the Moon approaching first quarter
phase and Jupiter was captured in this telephoto field of view.
A blend of short and long exposures, it reveals
the familiar face
of our fair planet's own large natural satellite in stark sunlight and
faint earthshine.
At lower right are the ruling gas giant and its four Galilean moons.
Left to right, the tiny pinpricks of light are
Ganymede, [Jupiter], Io, Europa, and Callisto.
Our own natural satellite appears to loom large because it's close,
but Ganymede, Io, and Callisto are actually larger than Earth's Moon.
Water world Europa
is only slightly smaller.
Of the Solar System's six
largest planetary satellites,
only Saturn's moon Titan, is missing from this scene.
But be sure
to check for large moons
in your sky tonight.

WASHINGTON—Strapping the suspect to a chair and demanding to know if “he was the whistleblower, or else,” the Trump boys reportedly spent hours interrogating a White House janitor Wednesday after giving him a serum of all the sodas mixed together. “Well, well, well, Mr. Janitor, good luck keeping secrets from our…

This is the $699, 4,784-piece Ultimate Collector Series Imperial Star Destroyer. [credit:

You probably remember the first time you saw Star Wars, the first time you saw that opening crawl give way to a star field above Tatooine as the Tantive IV tried desperately to escape the clutches of an Imperial Star Destroyer as it filled the screen.
I do. I remember in particular how the sheer size of it made me feel. This was one big ship—a mile long from the pointy bit at the front to those three huge engines at the back, I'd later learn. Afterward, you may have gone straight for the Lego bricks to recreate it. If not, now's the chance, because Lego is bringing out a new Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) edition of the Devastator, the Imperial Star Destroyer from the beginning of Star Wars: A New Hope.
The specs are not for the faint-hearted. Made from 4,784 pieces, the model is 43 inches long (110cm), 26 inches (66cm) wide, and 17 inches (44cm) tall, so it will need a fair amount of room on your shelf (or above your bed). Lego says the model features a tilting radar dish and swiveling guns, and as you'll see from the images above, the build looks like it involves plenty of greebling to keep you busy for hours.
The money was promised by world leaders at the G7 summit in France. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro’s chief of staff said that France couldn’t even prevent a fire in Notre Dame Cathedral.
LOL just last night Kev was saying he didn't even know they were happening. Also, it's in Newark!

Reminds me of the time me and my roommates/friends watched Back to the Future, and then decided to go to Cafe Campus all dressed up as different characters from the movies. It wasn't even close to being Halloween. We had a blast. One of us might have won this "worst McFly" award tho.
