MacPaint Art From The Mid-80s Still Looks Great Today I really enjoyed browsing the BMUG's CD-ROM and discovering earliy 80s art made in MacPaint, so I browsed all 18,000+ MacPaint images on Discmaster to see what gems I can unearth. Here is some what I found - I've got so many more cool icons/smaller drawings kept aside for the next time I'm bored and feel like making a blog post. Would be cool to try track down some of these artists and see what they're up to these days. If they could do thi

FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors

It was not immediately clear how FEMA’s responsiveness to calls after the Texas floods compared to its performance after past disasters. FEMA does not publicly release that data on a regular basis. The agency did publish similar data on Oct. 29, 2024, days after Hurricane Helene barreled across the South and nearly three weeks after Hurricane Milton hit Florida. That information showed that the agency did not answer nearly half of the 507,766 incoming calls over the course of a week, E & E News
