Everyone remembers WALL-E, the adorable future robot. But do you remember his original job? He turned trash into blocks to supposedly help the planet. Today I'm toying with a possible ancestor: The Clear Drop Soft Plastic Compactor.

a day for optimism

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

The US Justice Department withheld testimony that Donald Trump sexually abused a girl when she was 13 or 14 - according to a source who viewed unredacted Epstein files. This is the worst scandal in US history and should be the biggest news story on the planet right now. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

great weekend for sports!

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

Playing the “Blade Runner” score in Apple Music on iOS 26 and —— OH GOD WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON

watching the lakers game on nba tv and it’s fun playing spot the immersive camera incognito at the scorer’s table that’s streaming the game to Vision Pro

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

Callenson had the courage and conviction to stay with the scene and keep filming. Not to run away, but instead to follow the scene. To continue documenting what was unfolding. I'd like to think I'd have done the same. I'm not sure at all that I would have. daringfireball.net/2026/01/le...

really not that interested in LEGO's Smart brick. part of LEGO's appeal to me is the timelessness of the System--a brick made in the 80s still works great alongside bricks today. embedded tech tie products to protocols and electronics with limited shelf life. plus i like making my own pew pew sounds

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University. (And this is Renee from confirmed socials- a photo of a different woman with red lipstick is going around, but that was a classmate.) /

Unless you're Ashli Babbitt. Then fuck what a U.S. Capitol police officer tells you to do. The legal standard is that if an officer is in fear for others or himself legitimately he can use lethal force to neutralize the threat. Fleeing or eluding has never been a standard for use of lethal force.

Since Avatar is back in the news, I've updated one of my craziest ship design stories. It's a real, long dive into the creation of a fictional spaceship in minute detail, accompanied by extraordinary concept artist, but also beloved spaceship designer Ryan Church. This is the story of the Valkyrie:
