Leaky Ice Dam Prompts Evacuations in Alaska as Record Floods Loom

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-23 00:10:41

A water basin in Alaska is overflowing its ice dam, the Mendenhall Glacier, and flooding the state capital, Juneau. Experts expect the likely record-breaking event to peak today, and officials have asked residents in parts of the city and borough to evacuate. The flood doesn’t come as a surprise. Years ago, a small glacier on the other side of Mendenhall Glacier—which is just 12 miles (19 kilometers) from Juneau—receded and left a basin in its wake, according to the Associated Press.

When Nintendo announced Drag x Drive, a Joy-Con mouse-controlled wheelchair sports game, for the Switch 2 I was tentatively excited. I have a lot of time for developers trying new things, and sports video games are hardly replete with disability representation. Having been hands-on with the game, however, Drag x Drive has left me baffled and in significant pain.

A gentle introduction to anchor positioning

Anchor positioning allows you to place an element on the page based on where another element is. It makes it easier to create responsive menus and tooltips with less code using only CSS.
