Analysis: Misinformation has created an alternative world for some Americans
  • I’m only saying this because we’re on the subjects of education and correcting spelling/grammar.

    *it’s spelled citizen

  • MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Appoints Ayao Komatsu Team Principal, Guenther Steiner departing the organization with immediate effect.
  • An overdue change imho. I wouldn’t have expected Ayao to be picked but he seems knowledgeable in his field and well liked from what I’ve read about him. I hope he finds as much success transitioning to the TP role as Andrea Stella and James Vowles have.

  • Water rule
  • Do I look like I know what a jpeg is?

  • Biden-Harris Administration Announces $15.5 Billion to Support a Strong and Just Transition to Electric Vehicles, Retooling Existing Plants, and Rehiring Existing Workers
  • That’s a great way to do it, but that solution excludes a lot of people renting or in condo HOAs that don’t have easy access to overnight charge points in their complex’s or city’s lots. Hopefully those missing pieces are addressed soon so EVs feel like an option to everyone driving an ICE car, not just homeowners with garages.

  • Here we go again
  • I’ve used this extension successfully on Win10 to install PWAs, most recently Elk for Mastodon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

  • Midwest billboard
  • I know I’m not in the UP anymore whenever I start seeing these on Wisconsin and LP road trips lol

  • what movie/show made you think "WTF did I just watch?"
  • I was looking for this reply. Seconded lmao

  • Violent brawl breaks out at Michigan GOP committee meeting
  • It’s really crazy just how quick politics flipped in this state once we passed the redistricting referendum. Like, I knew there’d be a shift in power, but holy wah. The MI GOP basically owned this place for decades.

  • How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though?
  • Yep, happily testing out Liftoff on iOS. I still find myself using Memmy more often but it’s close. Pretty nice to have a bunch of options to explore developing at such a high rate.

  • Reddit was a slog too at first
  • Fortunately I don’t think you’ll have to wait too long. I’ve been using Memmy in Test Flight since really early builds and it’s extremely impressive how mature and feature rich this app has gotten. The last update (which are usually daily) made themes customizable to the point where I basically have the app looking like how I had Apollo customized. It’s close to being fully reviewed and approved for the App Store.

  • hello midwesties
  • Having lived in Sweden for about a half year and visited a few other times (study abroad and lots of family there), geographically the whole country kind of reminds me of the midwest (barring the more frozen part way far north where the trees get smaller). The more wooded and snowy parts of the north remind me of the upper midwest, the south more akin to the large rolling fields of the farming parts of the midwest. Vänern feels like a Great Lake. The archipelago filled Baltic coastlines remind me a bit of the rockier Lake Superior coastlines of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. I could see why my grandpa and many other Swedes felt comfortable emigrating to this part of the country about a century ago.

  • Stray is one of the best short games I've ever played.
  • I’ve been thinking about picking it up in the current Steam sale. Roughly how many hours do yo think it takes to complete at a pretty slow/casual pace? Mainly wondering if it’s worth $22.50 as I’ve read it’s a somewhat short game. Was going to wait for it to come down closer to $15 but I’m ready for a new casual/cute game now so I could be convinced to get it sooner rather than later lol

  • What's Your Favorite Lake in the Midwest?
  • Not the most original choice but being a yooper I’m biased towards Lake Superior. It’s cold to swim in but you get used to it and it’s always clean and clear. There’s a lot of nice beaches in Marquette too.

    There’s a Superior beach in the Keweenaw peninsula in particular that’s my favorite though. It has beautiful “singing sands” and is shallow so it’s usually warmer water and has a really nice turquoise hue, almost Caribbean-like. And hardly anyone is ever there, only locals really know about it.
