Donald Trump is the great mono-story of our time. Unless you’ve been away from the planet for a while, you know cable news is all Trump, all the time; Trumpworld is social media’s mesmerizingly dystopian subdivision. Yet the fixation with our president’s juvenile leadership style overlooks a deeper one: America’s obsession with eternal adolescence.

The best interweb radio station in the world. Swimwear optional.

The MATHS music synthesizer module is an analog computer designed for musical purposes. It is likely the most popular Eurorack modular synthesizer module due to its seemingly endless and varied functionality.

I’ve truly loved everything I’ve ever heard from Barry Adamson, But I didn’t really know much about him. Now I do. That’s quite a history.

From female urinals for festivals to pissoirs on the streets of Paris, here are six of the freshest outdoor urinals designs for peeing in the fresh air.

In the early hours of Monday morning, Israeli armed forces began their biggest demolition push since 1967 in Wadi Hummus, in the Palestinian Sur Baher neighbourhood southeast of Jerusalem. Palestinians and international activists attempted to resist the demolitions, for which they were greeted with brute force, with dozens reporting injuries from tear-gassing and beatings from Israeli forces.Since the demolitions began, videos have emerged on social media showing Israeli soldiers and police revelling in the demolitions. One particular video shows a masked soldier counting down from 10 before pressing a demolition button and blowing up a Palestinian building in the background. An Israeli border policeman standing next to him pats him on the back, smiling and laughing, before the two turn around and pose for a picture in front of the smoke and rubble. The masked soldier turns to the border policeman and says "kol hakavod", literally meaning all the respect in Hebrew but in this case translating to "good job". In the background, you can hear the jeers and adulation from other soldiers.

An excellent search engine that also happens to be dedicated to privacy. It's been my default search for a decade.

A great chat about tv, food, and philosophy with chef Dave Chang and The Good Place/Brooklyn 99/Parks & Rec creator (and Mose on The Office) Michael Schur.

Fast software is the best software and almost none of today’s software software is fast.

Lovely RSS reader that shows the full text of articles, even if the full text isn't in the feed.

Now owners are scrambling to save their friend, explain its death to their children, and come to grips with the mortality of a robot designed to bond with them, not to die.

I'm less than five days away from the start of my retirement, and I feel I've been pretty lucky for most of my life, except for the times I made bad decisions. Let's hope I'm not actually playing a bit part in a bad action movie! [quote]Retirony is a way to make the audience feel sorry for a character's death without having to actually give him more than ten minutes of screen time. Anybody in a dangerous job who's only a few days away from retirement or flying one last mission before going home to marry their childhood sweetheart is absolutely doomed to death by Retirony, whether that takes the form of a cold-blooded criminal, an ace German fighter pilot or a great big robotic monster.[/quote]

The definite place for discussions of modular synthesis and modular synthesizers.

I saw two cage installations in Brooklyn today. One outside the Park Slope YMCA, and another at the York St stop. They are 4 x 6 cages with a realistic doll wrapped in a mylar blanket inside. A sign on the side leads to this website. I presume they're all over the city.

You should be able to observe Jupiter and its four brightest moons—Io, Europa, Callisto, and Ganymede (you can see these on many clear nights)—with a pair of binoculars. And with a telescope, you could be able to see a few of the individual cloud belts on Jupiter, and perhaps even the Great Red Spot.
