because of terminal velocity, a 16000-foot fall isn't really any more impressive than, say, a 100-foot fall, and an iPhone's overall mass and air resistance means it wouldn't have that much impact force even at terminal velocity. I'm not good enough at math to plug in all the equations but I'd bet money any big-brand smartphone would've survived that fall.

I don't know whether to laugh or scream.

black women are 3-4 times more likely to die as a result of pregnancy or childbirth EVERYWHERE in the US, not just NYC.

the study of life is biology, pronounced bi-ology

a book about someone's life is a biography, pronounced bi-ography

correct me if I'm wrong, but it's Steamboat Willie that entered the public domain, isn't the name "Mickey" in reference to a mouse character still under trademark?

FIND SOMEONE ELSE?! Jesus Christ what the fuck is wrong with people?

the juxtaposition of these two stories shouldn't be missed: cases are rising but deaths are not, because the vaccines work. so naturally Florida wants to undo all that by citing imaginary bullshit.

if laws don't govern the practice of medicine then all abortion bans are automatically null & void. likewise for transgender healthcare bans.

Republicans want women to die.

I genuinely don't understand how this is supposed to work. you're taking REPUBLICANS to the border to convince DEMOCRATS to oppose immigration??
