  How Democrat Mary Peltola is on the verge of flipping right-leaning Alaska She has been to towns where paper towels retail for $40, a half gallon of oat milk goes for $21 and the cost of a new freezer can be quadruple what it is in the state’s largest city, Anchorage, simply because it’s so complicated to get there. Along the Arctic Ocean, she’s heard of communities where power bills have climbed to $1,500 a month because they rely on generators for power and the Iran war has pushed the cost of...

  Video Game Reverse Engineering Community Shuts Down Because AI Has Made It Too Easy The website decomp.dev said Thursday that it is shutting down because “the community aspect of decompilation has been broken” by AI, and that projects that once required intense collaboration between people with different skills can now be done trivially with AI. The administrator of the website said that it has become impossible to keep track of which projects are primarily human-led and which ones are done by...

  Haunted Chocolatier 'More of an Action RPG' Compared to Stardew Valley, ConcernedApe Says Barone announced Haunted Chocolatier back in 2021, but amid ongoing work on his phenomenally successful Stardew Valley, progress on the follow-up has been slow going. Indeed, in June, Barone admitted to feeling somewhat embarrassed to have to keep on saying he was still working away on the game. “Feels kinda dumb posting this same thing over and over, but that’s the reality,” he said at the time....

  Congressional candidate is raped while repairing her campaign signs It was just after 2 a.m. on a pitch-black Friday morning when Bernadette Greene-Placentia’s life changed. The Democratic candidate for Congressional District 8 strolled across a parking lot to repair a damaged campaign sign. It was a routine she’d followed all summer. This time, she only made it a few yards. An attacker smashed her over the head. She blacked out. She woke up to find a strange man on top of her. Greene-Place...

  $10 for a gallon of gas has red Alaska thinking about a Democratic senator BETHEL, Alaska — In this remote city in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, a pound of tomatoes costs nearly $7. Milk, when it’s available, is more than $13 a gallon. Almost all residents hunt or fish to feed themselves. Otherwise, they would go hungry. The cost of groceries is just too high. Gas, currently $10 a gallon, is delivered during one small window each year by barge when the river water thaws. If the price is high when...

  This ‘World of Warcraft: Forever’ Mod Blocks All Interactions With Asmongold Fans The beta for the hotly anticipated World of Warcraft: Forever has been marred by fans of the streamer Asmongold who have filled the game’s public spaces with spam and slurs.

  Hegseth's toughened 'standards' meant to thin women's ranks backfire on him: report Last year, Hegseth introduced new sex-neutral fitness standards that sought to eliminate sex-based grading for combat soldiers on the military’s physical fitness exam. That exam includes a 3-mile run, push-ups or pull-ups, and an abdominal plank. When the standards were announced, some analysts worried it could lead to fewer women enlisting. But a new report from The War Horse, a nonprofit news...

  Maga’s war on divorce is really a war on women In 2022, no-fault divorce finally came to the UK. Couples can now simply call it quits by declaring an “irretrievable breakdown” in their marriage without needing to cite a reason (like adultery) for the split. The legal shake-up was hailed as a much-needed overhaul that would streamline the process of divorce and ease undue stress on couples and the family courts. In this aspect, we had lagged behind our neighbours across the pond for decades. I...

  Meet the First New Cat Species Discovered in 100 Years In 2016, Paola Nogales-Ascarrunz, a biologist and National Geographic Explorer working in Bolivia, received a call from a local wildlife sanctuary that had just been given what they described as “a weird cat.” It came from a local man who found it as a kitten on a road near a forest. The man took the animal home, believing it to be a domestic breed. But after about a year of living with the clearly wild animal, he realized it would be bette...

  I find comment sections to be one of our greatest accidental sociological experiments. Give thousands of people anonymity, a celebrity scandal and absolutely no invitation to participate, and suddenly everyone is defending a dissertation. The women were largely doing what women tend to do in moments like these: empathizing, sharing their own experiences, reminding each other not to ignore patterns. One comment in particular read, “You let a man slide once and suddenly he starts ice skating.”...
