The Roundup

A little bit lighter load of links this week. This is a round up of the most interesting things I saw online this past week. I follow what I’d consider to be a large variety of interests, so I hope you find something interesting below, too.

Climate: A weather station in Siberia recorded a temperature of 100 F for the first time ever. Lyft Pledges to Shift to 100% Electric Vehicles by 2030 – that’s less than 10 years from now (h/t Eric).

COVID-19: Vietnam hasn’t yet recorded a COVID death. For us – yikes – Visualizing Growth of COVID-19 in the US (h/t Eric).

Photography + Quarantine: The Boston Red Sox photographer took player portraits over FaceTime.

Robot Animal: To go along with the hummingbird and duck drones, there is now also SlothBot. But, Spy Pig got destroyed by Komodo Dragons.

Karen Equivalents: A methodological look at “other Karens” or “future Karens” – male and female. Sorry, Eric… (h/t Flowing Data).
