| Google Fi Purportedly Isn’t Letting Subscribers Call Poison Control for Some Weird Reason Posted: 30 Jul 2021 08:12 PM PDT  Considering the amount of poisonous substances in this world, which can range from mundane things like nail polish to unlikely things like house plants, it's pretty important to be able to call Poison Control if you're exposed to something potentially toxic.

| Taika Waititi's Flash Gordon Film Might Be Live-Action Now Posted: 30 Jul 2021 02:45 PM PDT  Filmmaker Taika Waititi is involved with so many things it's very easy to forget one or two.

| A Congressman Just Introduced Legislation for a Four-Day Workweek Posted: 30 Jul 2021 02:17 PM PDT  It turns out some Members of Congress despise the five-day workweek as much as the rest of us. This week, Rep. Mark Takano of California introduced groundbreaking legislation meant to make four-day workweeks the norm in the US, instead of the Monday-through-Friday grind full-time workers have learned to accept as… |
| I Accidentally Recorded At Least 682 Gigabytes of Video of Myself Without My Knowledge Posted: 30 Jul 2021 01:48 PM PDT  It's happened to all of us: You've been browsing your hard drive and found hundreds of gigabytes of lengthy video files of the inside of your office, apparently filmed without your awareness. Dozens or possibly hundreds of hours of footage of whatever you're up to when you don't think you're being observed, and you… |

| So, This Is What It Takes to Get Tim Cook to Say ‘F*ck’ Posted: 30 Jul 2021 12:58 PM PDT  Apple CEO Tim Cook is not known for losing his cool. He's had stern words for Facebook, and people trying to make a TV show based on Gawker for Apple TV+, but generally speaking? Cook comes off as a genial, if surprisingly swole, gent—your wholesome tech grandpa. At least, until you put him on the phone with Tesla CEO… |
| Astronomers Spot Two Unusually Red Objects in the Asteroid Belt Posted: 30 Jul 2021 12:50 PM PDT  They're red, they're reasonably big, and they have no business being in the main asteroid belt, but their discovery confirms the complex conditions in place when the solar system was still forming. |

| Australian Court Rules That Yes, AI Can Be an Inventor Posted: 30 Jul 2021 10:50 AM PDT  In what can only be considered a triumph for all robot-kind, this week, a federal court has ruled that an artificially intelligent machine can, in fact, be an inventor—a decision that came after a year's worth of legal battles across the globe. |
| Batman: The Movie Remains as Goofy and Entertaining as Ever Posted: 30 Jul 2021 10:45 AM PDT  Even if you know what to expect, watching 1966's Batman: The Movie today is shocking. After years of being pummeled with serious, gritty, big-budget superhero spectacles, it's hard to fathom a film as innocent and self-aware as the one based on the popular TV show. Everyone involved is so game for silliness, so… |
| Star Wars: The Bad Batch Finally Reaches the Conflict It's Been Waiting For Posted: 30 Jul 2021 09:45 AM PDT  After many episodes of bounty hunting chases, Rylothi insurrection, and the briefest snifter of mounting resistance, Star Wars: The Bad Batch returned this week to a concept it fascinatingly pondered early on in its debut season.

| Underground 'Lakes' on Mars May Just Be Big Globs of Clay Posted: 30 Jul 2021 09:12 AM PDT  Recent hubbub about subsurface lakes detected on Mars has a new twist, as new research argues that the underground structures aren't lakes at all.
