So quick are editors to change “is” to “was” in cases of notable deaths that they are said to have the fastest past tense in the West.

Almost anything you give sustained attention to will begin to loop on itself

Brioches and Knife, Eliot Hodgkin, 08/1961 1. When people talk about the value of paying attention and slowing down, they often make it sound prudish and monk-like. Attention is something we “have to protect.” And we have to “pay” attention—like a tribute. But we shouldn’t forget how interesting and overpoweringly pleasurable sustained attention can be. Slowing down makes reality vivid, strange, and hot. Let me start with the most obvious example. As anyone who has had good sex knows, susta

AR Fluid Simulation Demo

Fluid Simulation (Demo) 2025 I wanted to see what happens when a fluid simulation collides with real objects. To test this idea I created this demo. To capture the shapes of objects, I mounted a webcam above the screen. A polarization filter blocks the image displayed on the screen, preventing a feedback loop, while still allowing the camera to see anything placed in front of it. The video feed is then aligned with the computer-generated simulation, so the fluid can react to those cutout obj

Onion CEO Ben Collins Hasn't Given Up on Print—or Buying Infowars

Ben Collins made a big bet. A year ago, just a few months after he’d been named CEO of The Onion, he relaunched its print edition. Once a favorite on university campuses, The Onion hadn’t published a physical issue since 2013. Common wisdom said that readership, and advertising dollars, just weren’t there for newspapers. But Collins, a fan of the satirical paper since childhood, thought “that’s dumb.” Readers celebrated The Onion’s relaunch and the ability to read all of its bitingly funny head
