Learning with Lyrics creates educational videos that explain how things work through songs. I wish this had been around when I was a kid—for some reason, I remember what I learn in these videos much easier because of the singing. In this video, we learn about Velcro. —...
Plex is a flexible media platform that lets you organize, catalog, and stream your collection of movies, TV shows, music, and more from a personal server to just about any device, both locally and remotely; it not only supports seamless sharing with friends but also includes ...
Paperhand Puppet Intervention creates larger-than-life outdoor puppet shows in North Carolina. When I think of puppets, I picture small marionettes, but these performers actually wear their puppets as costumes. This looks like such a fun, whimsical show to see in person. —...
I'm usually not a fan of Honest Trailers or Honest Game Trailers. Despite featuring the great voice-over artist Jon Bailey (AKA Epic Voice Guy), I just don't enjoy watching things I love get torn apart. I've been playing ARC Raiders like a full-time job since its release...
Absolute loser Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered the U.S. military to 'kill everybody' on a suspected drug boat and then joked about it with a rocket-launcher-wielding Franklin the Turtle meme. That's not a satire headline. That's just the Monday after Thanksgiving in Trump's...
Back in the 1970s, someone had the brilliant idea to stick a transistor radio inside a toilet paper holder. These gadgets came in all the classic '70s colors like avocado green, with little tuning knobs and speakers built into the front. — Read the rest The post This 1970s...
Just when you think the person 'in charge' can't stoop lower or get more outlandish, another day passes and proves you wrong. On Thanksgiving, while Americans worked hard serving others—at service jobs or volunteering to cook and deliver meals to folks in need—the...
Turns out Donald Trump can't just slap a badge on his favorite TV lawyer and call her a U.S. attorney. A federal appeals court has ruled that ethically challenged Alina Habba, best known for losing lawsuits on Trump's behalf with unwavering confidence, was unlawfully...
I love how protesters across the country have dressed up like unicorns, hot dogs, giraffes, and other animals to join marches and protests against ICE and National Guard deployment. The most famous is the Portland Frog Brigade, which inspired activists in cities across the...
I love Omni magazine. For those too young to remember, it was a lavish, shiny publication dedicated to science, science fiction, futurism, and the people who dabble in such things. It launched in 1979, but I didn't discover it until the mid-1980s. — Read the rest The post...
A poll released by the journal Nature in April revealed that 75% of U.S. scientific researchers are considering leaving the country. The Trump administration's cataclysmic slashes to federal science funding have had a devastating effect on research institutions, and top...
Released almost simultaneously with Defunctland's epic four-hour video documentary on Disney animatronics, Disney itself released a video about its incredible strides in autonomous character robots. It's part of a series called 'We Call It Imagineering' Disney can now...
Listening to podcasts is a great way to burn through your commute or help you get through an early morning hour at the gym. It's an absolute pleasure to find a program that dovetails nicely with your passions. There's something for everyone! — Read the rest The post Hackers...
If you're a fan of Nick Cave, you really must go spend some time exploring the Nick Cave exhibition, 'Stranger Than Kindness,' which opened last week online. It's a virtual version of the original 2020 exhibition at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, which included 300...
Tiny Vinyl is a resurrection of a classic medium in pocket-sized form. The appeal is immediate and obvious: it's vinyl! It's tiny! Adorable! But it doesn't take an expert in areal density to land on one problem: capacity. It's not as if the reader devices are under heavy...
Every dictionary has its word of the year now, but the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) reigns supreme among categorisations of the vocabulary of our post-Norman tongue. And so its choice carries a certain weight. And, this year, that weight falls upon us like online fury:...
2025 wasn't easy for the sciences. With U.S. President Donald Trump back in office, surrounded by conspiracy theorists, cranks and crooks, research funding is evaporating, anti-science rhetoric is dominating public discourse, and expertise is leaving. Departments stretched...
The Maclock is a clock that looks like a Mac—an old Mac. The monochrome LCD display has three modes (the time, the date, and Susan Kare's famous 'Happy Apple' pixel art face. It's only 11cm (4.3 inches) tall and doesn't do anything else, but it's only $29.99 and has a...
In shots from Nasa's Perseverence rover on Mars, the skies are usually clear or fogged by dust storms. As it explores the Jazero Crater, the probe's SuperCam has now recorded evidence of a phenomenon familiar on planet Earth: lightning. — Read the rest The post Lightning...

Looking for speakers that fit perfectly in Ikea's Kallax cube shelving¹, I was surprised to find only a single good fit on offer: the Tangent Spectrum Square. It's exactly what I'm looking for, though there's two problems: they're €249 each, and they're not available in...
