104 year old Eddy Goldfarb has invented over 800 iconic toys- some of my favorites, too. He made Stompers, which were HUGE for me as a kid (I still have several). He also made talking teeth, Kerplunk, just TONS of stuff.

If ICE gave even half a damn about actual safety, they’d have backed off for a few days to let things cool. Instead, they’re coming on hotter than ever. Just everywhere. Doubling down.
They’re casing daycares now, for god’s sake. I know personally of at least one preschool teacher who was abducted.

Remember "43 People"? It was a spin-off of 43 Things from Robot Co-op and it was pretty cool for web nerds of the 2000s.
For all newcomers: please use hashtags. (reasonable ones would be cool 😉). There is no algorithm that will push your content.
BMW’s R&D teams have been busy “innovating.” Unfortunately, they aren’t focusing on the things that actually matter—like stellar engine performance or legendary driving dynamics.
Instead, the C-suite execs decided that the best use of their engineering budget was to design a proprietary security screw specifically intended to prevent BMW drivers from fixing their own cars.
At first glance, it’s almost cute:
a screw head shaped exactly like the BMW logo.

Welcome to Aurorix Saigon, my opinionated take on Aurora KDE, showing a menu and a terminal window with installed cli tools. These CLI tools were installed using a predefined list in Homebrew , as was the Ungoogled Chromium flatpak. An automatically created custom image.This is very cool; further tweaking to follow.

Renee Good is a crisis for the Trump regime: not because they care about her life, but because ICE murdering her makes ICE look bad. They’ve been telling all these stories about all the imaginary violence ICE officers face. In their minds, it’s the people on the streets who were supposed to lose their cool first. Now they’re falling over themselves to make that happen.
We just want ICE gone, but their bosses want them dead. And no, I’m sure they do not understand this.

@axbom@axbom.meA collegue and I have been doing a lot of testing with Opus 4.6 since yesterday. I spent $23 in a single prompt using /fast btw, insane! Anyway, the agent team functionality is cool to see, but I was underwhelmed by the quality.
Overall, I haven't noticed much improvement against Opus 4.5 at individual tasks. But when using agent teams, the quality is more like Sonnet 4.5's. It is not that smart.
I tried the Fedora Atomic Cosmic Desktop iso and it was very impressive. Cosmic is the most responsive UI I’ve used that isn’t called Workbench. Sadly, Steam had some issues with controllers and while it seemed solvable, it didn’t seem like a clean solution. I’m going to miss Cosmic and will definitely check it out again once it is really done because it is super cool. Now, Bazzite is installing away.

I just made a cool shortcut in Apple’s shortcut app on iPad!
When tapped on the Home Screen on an iPad or iPhone or an Apple Watch, it will message two people immediately.
Then it gives a choice of calling an ambulance (911) or not.
There is an “are you sure” before actually calling 911.
If no ambulance is required it sends a message just telling the people help is needed.
If it does call the ambulance it texts the people that too.
…. I have been playing with Apple scripting since old MacOS days. love that it lives on and just gets more powerful with all the apps that we can tap into now.
So easy! And doing things that can truly improve, even save, lives. This is what computers should do.
