More people have died of Covid-19 than decided the 2016 election (and it's not close)



(From 2016, "But for 79,646 votes cast in those three states, [Clinton]'d be the next president of the United States"; "Of the more than 120 million votes cast in the 2016 election, 107,000 votes in three states effectively decided the election")

The "alien wars" in GTAV has escalated "a series of kiddie-pool cyberattacks"

Wired:

After a month of alien wars, a final showdown takes place today.

...

But although the final fight will take place within the bounds of GTA V, the roiling, destructive energy that brought the gangs to arms has bled far outside the videogame itself. A deeper look reveals that some GTA V players have escalated the alien wars to a series of kiddie-pool cyberattacks against rivals.

...

Jazuka isn’t the only server moderator to describe out-of-bounds attacks on rival gang members. In another Discord group, GreenVSPurple Official, which contains 3,000 users, moderators have received dozens of complaints a day about rampant toxicity, use of slurs, and phishing attacks. They hear daily reports of denial of service attacks—trollish efforts to keep them offline—against members of the rival gang. “At first it was like friendly banter. Then it got pretty bad. Kids were pulling IPs from the opposite gang, etc.,” says a moderator who goes by Mike.

"Turkmenistan leader drives donuts around 'Gateway to Hell' in footage following death rumors"

CNN:

In a 25-minute report, Berdymukhamedov rides a horse, composes music and appears to score three strikes in a bowling game to a round of applause from aides wearing matching tracksuits.

He also seemingly races through the Karakum Desert in a rally car before driving in circles and skidding around the famous Darvaza Crater.

While there's no concrete record of exactly how it came into being, the fiery crater is said to have formed in 1971 when Soviet geologists looking for oil realized they'd stumbled across a cavern of natural gas. They set it alight to avoid the spread of methane.

"The Lonely Island explain their bonkers Bash Brothers visual album"

EW interview:

When we made a few of them, we were like, “It’s funny to make a few, but it’s kind of just a sketch.” But then the more we made, the funnier it became to us that we were being so committed to it.

...

Everyone we knew kept asking what we were working on, and we’d be like, “This thing that we’re making for no one.”

...

at one point, we even imagined maybe the album cover would be us as little kids in a childhood bedroom asleep with the poster above us, almost like the whole thing is our dream of what their lives are like. That was almost one of the ways in for us, like how it felt to be a kid and if you imagined what it was like to be them, this video is that dream.

...

At some point we talked about just putting them on SoundCloud under a fake name and then just have people find them and think, “What is this?
Billboard interview:
Sia is incredible, we're obsessed with her music. We had friends in common and were like, "Think she'd ever do it? Ask her!" We got super lucky that she would, and we knew she doesn't really like appearing on camera, so I reached out to Sterling. I knew him because he did an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which was incredible and he was nominated for an Emmy for it, so I think he felt like he owed me one. Just kidding. He was also nice about it, and drove out to some weird studio that we could afford for like $17, and shot with us in the daytime before going and shooting This Is Us.

...

For the wig, I pulled images of DeBarge and a little bit Lionel Richie, a little bit Prince, but we wanted the wig colored like Sia's.
