The last version of Windows to depend on DOS was Windows ME—perhaps not the best send-off for the classic operating system—but true believers and regular users have since had the FreeDOS Project to cherish. Maintainer Jeff Hall announced version 1.4 yesterday, which...
This collection of striking artworks was created by artist Ma Chao, who recently claimed the world record for the largest display of engraved eggshells in Langfang, Hebei, China, on 3 March 2025. Chao's 1,040 engraved eggs all have an incredible amount of detail in their...
I had a lot of fun watching this video of a 'mushroom with bionic arms painting a picture of a head'. It's amazing that we have the technology to make that sentence a reality. I wish I could sit next to this mushroom and draw with it for an evening. — Read the rest The post...

In February, I wrote about graphic artist Todd Alcott's fantastic propaganda posters for the fascist oligarchy, but his newest project is so amazing, I just have to bring these to your attention too. Alcott is creating a series of cards, made to look like baseball cards of...
2022's Prey was the best movie in the long-running and often mediocre Predator franchise since the much-lauded original, and the general consensus seems to agree. Dropping a Predator into a historic setting and seeing how it stacks up against that time period's inhabitants...

As the stock market continues to tank because of reckless tariff decisions based on false charts, Trump announced tonight that his tariffs are a 'good situation' that will be remembered as 'legendary.' So naturally, the Lincoln Project mocked the delusional president,...
I'm thrilled to have found Cihan Çelik's donkey ASMR videos, because the Safranbolu, Turkey-based animal lover posts the most wonderful videos of them eating—the crunches and munches they make are music to my ears! The donkeys in question are adorably named Sakib and...
Considering how long the world has been on fire, it's amazing that it hasn't burnt down to charcoal yet. It continues to worry us over what its sparks will jump to next. It feels we're only a virus, policy or racist bastard away from a new calamity, at any time. — Read the re...
Cats and birds should never mix (think Sylvester and Tweety), a rule emphasized by the American Bird Conservancy, which bluntly states that the 'combination can be disastrous.' But of course, you can't prove a rule to be true without its exceptions, which is where this post...
The Brainworm controlling the RFK Jr. meatsuit attended the funeral of eight-year-old Daisy Hildebrand in Lubbock, Texas, last week. Hildebrand died of complications related to a measles infection. The poor kid was the third individual to die from an unnecessary...
