Reply to New York landlord becomes legal guardian of 93-year-old Holocaust survivor: 'She had no one else' by Imguran
Based on the picture, and the fact this was his first property, the landlord was surprisingly young.
Good on him, the future of America isn't all the bleak.

Reply to comment by NewCanadianMTurker in TIL residents of Tangier Island, 12 miles off the coast of Virginia, have remained so isolated they still speak a dialect similar to the original colonists from the 1700s by emily_9511
There is actually research on this topic, as this problem applies to colonizing space.
Apparently, you only need a starting population of 160 people to have enough genetic diversity for a healthy population, but that's in a vacuum (no pun intended). I'm sure it would be a lower number if every so often new genetics are introduced to the population - which is probably the case on Tangier Island.
On a side note, Iceland has an app where you can make sure the person you want to be with isn't related to you.

The issue isn’t the Drug Maker’s motives, it’s the credibility and journalistic integrity of 60 Minutes. Which until this story, was relatively high in the public’s opinion.

84 isn’t that bad guy, the city planners are. Time and again across the US major interstates cut cities in half.

All executions that happen on death row have 'homicide' listed as the causse for their death certificate.
