Projection on Trump tower, Las Vegas, Nevada.
A few weeks ago we managed to rent a room opposite the building, and used a bright projector to display this message from 200m away.
Today are the US midterms, an election that will have a deep impact on international politics.

We were taught that Earth orbits the Sun in a closed circle. In reality, Earth has never returned to the same point in space once in 4.5 billion years.
Right now, the Sun is carrying Earth and every planet around the center of the Milky Way at 230 km/s (828,000 km/h), more than 18,000 kilometers every 80 seconds.
Because the Solar System is tilted 60.2° to the galactic plane and bobs up and down through the galactic disc roughly every 30 million years, the planets trace open 3D corkscrew helices across deep space rather than flat loops.
The last time the Sun stood where it stands today, one Galactic Year (230 million years) ago, the very first dinosaurs were only beginning to appear on Earth. Since forming 4.6 billion years ago, our Sun has completed only 20 laps.

This is one of the most mind-blowing stop-motion films we've seen this year. It comes from India.

Nike's 6-page ad in today's NYT's 24-page special section for the New York City Marathon 26 (that has a list of names of all participants). The first-person narrative makes it both intimate and engaging to read!

Claude Code found 17,342 of my daughter's photos on a server in Hangzhou. she's 16. she had her Hidden album locked with Face ID and thought nobody could see it. an app she downloaded from the App Store has been sending every photo on her phone to China for 10 months. i checked her two friends' phones the same night. same app. same server.
her phone was lagging so i connected it to my MacBook. Claude Code flagged an app called "GlowCam - Beauty Filter" with 4.2 million downloads. it was uploading her entire photo library every 6 hours between 1am and 5am while she was sleeping.
→ app → "GlowCam - Beauty Filter" (4.2M downloads, 4.7 stars)
→ server → 112.17.***.63
→ location → Hangzhou, China
→ total files uploaded → 17,342
→ active since → January 2026
→ permissions → camera, photos, microphone, location
every photo she ever took. every screenshot. every image anyone ever sent her. everything from her Hidden album that she locked with Face ID thinking it was safe. Face ID only stops a person who picks up the phone. an app with Full Access to Photos opens the Hidden album like any other folder. there's no green dot for that.
two of her friends were at our house that evening. i asked them to let me check their phones. both had GlowCam installed.
→ my daughter's iPhone 16 Pro Max → 17,342 files uploaded to Hangzhou
→ her friend's iPhone 15 → 9,740 files uploaded to the same server
→ her friend's iPhone 15 → 6,210 files uploaded since April
3 phones on my kitchen table all sending photos to the same folder in China.
i asked Claude Code to trace where the files went. it found photos from all 3 phones on a site that sells stolen photo libraries sorted by age and location.
→ www.le***dumpcc → their city listed, folders tagged "16-19"
→ tme/ph***vault_cn (41,000+ subscribers) → folder link shared 2 weeks ago
→ buyer access → $8 per library
someone paid $8 per library. 3 libraries from 3 teenage girls. Apple approved the app that made it possible.
then Claude Code scanned every other app on all 3 phones and found 2 more doing the same thing.
→ "PhotoRoom — Background Eraser" → uploading to a server in Jakarta
→ "FaceTune Lite — Selfie Editor" → uploading to a server in Mumbai
what Claude Code did on all 3 phones:
→ killed every upload process and purged all caches
→ revoked Full Access from every photo app
→ switched everything to "Limited Access"
→ filed DMCA takedowns on the site and the telegram channel
→ turned on Advanced Data Protection for iCloud on all 3 accounts
the site took the photos down in 72 hours. the telegram channel is still up.
i called both their parents that night. i told all 3 girls the apps were slowing their phones and i deleted them. none of them know what i actually found.
if your kid has a beauty filter or photo editor on their phone right now there's a real chance it's doing exactly this. check Settings → Privacy & Security → Photos and count how many apps have "Full Access." every single one can read the Hidden album, the Recently Deleted folder, and every photo your kid has ever taken.
my daughter had 11 apps with Full Access. she needed 2.
the prompt is in the first reply. run it on every phone in your house tonight. takes 3 minutes. save it and send it to every parent you know.

In 2004, India’s official count said the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Rajasthan had 16-18 tigers. But, visitors had not seen one in months.
The truth: Sariska’s tigers had been poached to extinction.
What follows is the stunning story of how a supposedly, “poor country” mobilised to save the tiger. From rebuilding its counting methods, camera traps, statistics, satellites and an app.
This is the story of how a country that has learnt to lived with tigers for millennia, learnt again how to protect it.

Films Division cartoon from 1972, ‘Tree of Unity’.
I wonder what the 2026 version would look like?
Perhaps the man with the axe would cut the tree for his businessman friends and then do Hindu-Muslim?

A homeowner returned after being away for a week and found seven apples arranged beside the giant stuffed bear on his porch.
At first, he assumed someone in the neighborhood had placed them there as a joke. But the house was surrounded by woods, and nothing else on the porch had been disturbed.
Curious, he reviewed the security footage.
On the first night, a tiny black bear cub appeared from the trees carrying a red apple in its mouth. It cautiously climbed onto the porch, walked directly toward the stuffed bear and placed the apple beside its paw.
The cub did not eat it.
Instead, it climbed onto the chair, pressed its body against the stuffed bear’s belly and fell asleep beneath one of its fabric arms.
Before sunrise, the cub disappeared back into the forest.
But it returned the following night with another apple.
Night after night, the same little bear repeated the routine. It brought one apple, placed it beside the stuffed bear and curled up against the toy until morning.
The cameras never recorded an adult bear following it.
The homeowner began to realize that the cub was not simply using the porch as shelter. The toy’s dark fur, large body and round face may have reminded it of the mother it had lost.
Those apples were not forgotten food.
They appeared to be gifts.
The homeowner contacted a local wildlife rehabilitation team, who began monitoring the cub from a safe distance and left appropriate food near the forest rather than encouraging it to approach the house.
But he did not immediately remove the stuffed bear.
For several more nights, the little cub returned to the porch, climbed into the same chair and slept beside the only “mother” that was still waiting for it.
The cub had no way to understand why its real mother never came back.
So each night, it brought another apple—just in case she was hungry when she finally did.
