Even MAGA Is Pissed Off About Tech Bros’ Dream of Bulldozing Federal Lands to Create New Cities

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-02-20 00:00:17

In recent years, a cadre of tech billionaires have become obsessed with a deeply unconventional idea: the creation of new, privately owned cities. Dubbed the “Freedom Cities” movement, backers say they’d like to create new special development zones in the U.S. that would allow such cities to be built. In these zones, private investors could write their own laws and set up their own governance structures. According to this project’s backers, such communities would be corporately controlled and wo

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2026-02-20 20:00:24

Last year, we learned Edgar Wright was helming a remake of Stephen King’s The Running Man with Glen Powell (Twisters) in the lead role—and that it would be released during the year the original book is set: 2025. After a small sampling to press during CinemaCon, Paramount’s first trailer sets the stage for what’s coming this fall. Powell plays Ben Richards, the latest contestant in a reality game show where people avoid bounty hunters sent to kill them. Like in the 1982 novel and 1987 film, Ric

Addigy’s Prebuilt App Catalog is built to simplify managing macOS apps at scale

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2026-02-21 02:00:00

Most enterprise apps used on macOS don’t come from the Mac App Store, so IT teams are stuck managing them manually. That includes tracking down the latest versions, packaging them up for deployment, setting up the required permissions, and making sure they’re installed and updated properly across every device. It’s a tedious process that doesn’t scale well, and it introduces security risk when apps fall behind on security updates. Addigy aims to solve this by adding a new Prebuilt App Catalog, w

Newark’s air traffic outages were just the tip of the iceberg

On June 2nd, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy traveled to Newark Liberty International Airport to celebrate the reopening of runway 4L-22R. This was unusual: few runway openings are glamorous enough to warrant a visit from the airport’s CEO, let alone a cabinet secretary.
