I’ve always wanted to go skydiving. Aerial_Knight’s DropShot, from indie developer Aerial_Knight, lets me live out that dream — at least in a safe, virtual kind of way. It also lets me shoot bullets from finger guns, wield laser skulls, and wear cool sunglasses while I’m falling through the air. So maybe it’s better than the real thing.Playing as a character named Smoke Wallace, who was bitten by a dragon that gave him the finger gun that can actually shoot bullets, you plummet toward the ground and try to pick off bad guys with that finger gun or by punching…

On the heels of a massive publicity push, families have signed up about 3 million kids for Trump accounts, according to the U.S. Department of the Treasury — well ahead of the July launch date. The “free money” is likely a major incentive. The federal government has said it will make a one-time $1,000 contribution into the accounts of all eligible children born on or after Jan. 1, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2028. A growing number of companies have pledged to match the Treasury’s deposit for children of employees, and philanthropists in multiple states have committed to seed the accounts…

In our increasingly enshittified online experience, the last bastions of the Internet’s initial egalitarian promise shine like diamonds. These holdout Golden Era vestiges somehow remain useful and unadulterated by corporate greed, while under constant siege for their recalcitrance. The crown jewel of these stalwarts is Wikipedia. Sustained by a legion of volunteer editors and beg-a-thon donations since 2001, the humble open-source encyclopedia is generally regarded as our best effort yet to amass the sum of all human knowledge. Free, citation-filled, and perpetually self-auditing, it’s no wonder so many consider the online encyclopedia to be one of the few wonders of…

These athletes here have reminded a lot of people that Americans are good people. Americans are kind people. And Americans stand up for the little guy and they stand up for their communities and they speak out because those are rights that Americans are given.You watch the news and see what the current administration is saying and doing and it’s really awful. It’s fucked-up shit. I don’t even think that what these people are saying is political. They’re talking about things that are happening in their own communities.And some of them have faced backlash for speaking out. Amber Glenn said…

Group chats have long been a hidden backbone of global brands, big and small. Email threads are too fussy—it’s easier to communicate bike seat stand measurements down to the millimeter, with accompanying doodled-upon photographs, for example, over WhatsApp. To the uninitiated, this may not seem a natural topic for a designer in the throes of London fashion week prep. But it’s pretty standard dialogue for Johanna Parv (she made bike seats for guests to sit on at the show, in collaboration with Selle Royal). She is, of course, a renowned biking enthusiast, which translates to her clothes each season. At…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed concerns about AI’s environmental impact this week while speaking at an event hosted by The Indian Express. For one thing, Altman — who was in India for a major AI summit — said concerns about AI’s water usage are “totally fake,” though he acknowledged it was a real issue when “we used to do evaporative cooling in data centers.” “Now that we don’t do that, you see these things on the internet where, ‘Don’t use ChatGPT, it’s 17 gallons of water for each query’ or whatever,” Altman said. “This is completely untrue, totally insane, no…
