The three astronauts who launched on Shenzhou 21—Zhang Lu, Wu Fei, and Zhang Hongzhang—remain aboard the nearly 100-metric ton space station with only the damaged Shenzhou 20 craft available to bring them home. China’s line of Shenzhou spaceships not only provide transportation to and from low-Earth…
Set in 1982, Tom’s Crossing takes place in a small Utah county and the mountain ranges surrounding it. Kalin March, the 15-year-old protagonist and new resident in town, promises his dying friend that he will save two horses from slaughter. The friend, Tom Gatestone, accompanies Kalin from beyond the grave as a ghost.Tom’s Crossing is beautifully written in a distinct style that feels like listening to a very clever friend tell ghost stories by a campfire.If you’ve read Danielewski’s House of Leaves, The Familiar, or one of his other works, you may expect to see a wide array of fonts,…

I’ve been involved with the Rebelle Rally since its inception in 2016, either as a competitor or live show host, and over the past 10 years, I’ve seen it evolve from a scrappy rally with big dreams to the world-class event that it is today. In a nutshell, the Rebelle Rally is the longest competitive off-road rally in the United States, covering over 2,000 kilometers, and it just happens to be for women. Over eight days, teams of two must plot coordinates on a map, figure out their route, and find multiple checkpoints—both marked and unmarked—with no GPS, cell phones,…

It’s always been a given that gaming monitors come with a high price tag, especially when you’re talking about OLED technology with specs that push the limits of what’s possible. LG’s 34-inch Ultragear has been the reference point for serious gamers, but its $1,399 price kept it out of reach for many enthusiasts. Amazon just drastically upended that equation by dropping this curved beast down to $679, or nearly half off the original price. This all-time low opens up premium OLED gaming to a much wider audience who have been just looking for the right moment to improve their screens.…
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr says he won’t scrap the agency’s controversial news distortion policy despite calls from a bipartisan group of former FCC chairs and commissioners. “How about no,” Carr wrote in an X post in response to the petition from former FCC leaders. “On my watch, the FCC will continue to hold broadcasters accountable to their public interest obligations.” The petition filed yesterday by former FCC chairs and commissioners asked the FCC to repeal its 1960s-era news distortion policy, which Carr has repeatedly invoked in threats to revoke broadcast licenses. In the recent Jimmy Kimmel controversy, Carr…
Apple’s Family Sharing feature is designed to make digital life simpler for households that use multiple Apple devices. It links individual Apple IDs under one family group so everyone can share subscriptions, purchases and storage without sacrificing personal privacy. A single organizer manages the group and decides who’s invited, what’s shared and how payments are handled. Once someone joins, they can access shared Apple services like Music, TV+, iCloud+, Fitness+ or Arcade, along with any compatible third-party apps that support Family Sharing.Setting it up only takes a few minutes, but understanding how it works makes it far easier to manage…
The minifigure version of Lego’s Formula 1 Racing series is on sale for an all-time low price ahead of Black Friday 2025. Over at Amazon, racing fans can snag Lego F1 Collectible Race Car 6-Packs for only $17.78 (was $30). Amazon is matching a deal that first popped up at Target, but Target is currently sold out. We wouldn’t expect this offer to stick around at Amazon for long, so collectors should try to complete the series for cheap while they can. As a backup option, Walmart is selling the mystery boxes for $19.48.The mystery box comes with six random…
Only three of us were available this week, but the show must go on! Perhaps the energy is a bit subdued without Bront and that other guy, but you might just find something buried in the protracted ramblings that could interest you for a few fleeting seconds. Like Google eWaste, the new Valve Steam Machine, or our video review for the Sapphire Nitro+ B850 perhaps? We must thank our Patreon members, because without you … we would be gone. New folks and current ones that are bumping their patronage are greatly appreciated. This show cannot go on without you –…
