I saw this video on Reddit of DuneCrawl, which uses my Asset Forge for sketching. I love it, in fact, I loved seeing this so much that it gave me a lot of inspiration. Big plans for Asset Forge, hopefully will already be able to share soon. redd.it/1x2fy0r

From their three hearts to their doughnut-shaped brains, octopuses are fascinating creatures that are also biologically wired to die after they reproduce. We spoke with cephalopod expert Z. Yan Wang to learn more about octopus death spirals and to answer listener questions for Cephalopod Week!

Astronaut, pilot & engineer Samantha Cristoforetti: the first Italian woman in space, 2014. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 She holds the record for the longest uninterrupted spaceflight by a European astronaut & brewed the first espresso in space. #WomenInSTEM #Italy 📷 : Coolest #coffee break in history!

Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti inside the International Space Station (ISS), sipping fresh espresso from a special 3D-printed "Zero-G cup" designed to use the fluid's surface tension to let the astronauts sip from it rather than using a straw from a pouch. She has short dark hair, wears a red-and-black jacket over a purple shirt (a Star Trek uniform specifically for the occasion), and smiles softly while Earth’s blue horizon and swirling white clouds fill the huge circular window above her.

I've already got the prize. The prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it—those are the real things; the honors are unreal to me. I don't believe in honors. — Richard Feynman

In April 1946, Albert Einstein visited Lincoln University, a historically Black university, received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree and spoke against racial segregation in the United States. A refugee from Nazi Germany, he supported civil rights causes and corresponded with W.E.B. Du Bois.

The effectiveness of propaganda demonstrates one of the chief characteristics of modern masses. What convinces masses are not facts, and not even invented facts, but only the consistency of the system of which they are presumably part. — Hannah Arendt

Technology being everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere. The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way. This week, we announced a moratorium on generative AI for public school students in 2-K to 8th grade.

We’re eliminating AI use for students in 2-K through 8th grade for the upcoming school year.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.
