This ‘Training Day’ Meme Is Getting Me Through the Collapse of American Democracy

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-12-11 05:20:13

The U.S. isn’t doing very well right now. The nation’s capital is under military occupation, the president is pursuing a campaign of retribution against his political enemies, and the wealthiest people in the country have suddenly embraced government ownership of their companies if it means they don’t have to pay more in taxes. But through it all, we still have our memes, the true opiate of the masses. And the latest meme that I can’t get enough of involves audio from an old movie, cute dogs, a

Marshall Now Has a Big Party Speaker That’s Perfect for Pretending You’re in a Band

Being in a band is hard. You’ve got to learn an instrument (time-consuming), organize your friends (a nightmare), and then harass everyone on Instagram to come out to your show on a Tuesday at 9:30 pm at least twice a month? Forget about it. That being said, looking like you’re in a band is still hella cool, and what better way to do that than carry around a huge party speaker that looks akin to a Marshall Stack?

The first stars may not have been as uniformly massive as we thought

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-11 06:16:33

For decades, astronomers have wondered what the very first stars in the universe were like. These stars formed new chemical elements, which enriched the universe and allowed the next generations of stars to form the first planets. The first stars were initially composed of pure hydrogen and helium, and they were massive—hundreds to thousands of times the mass of the Sun and millions of times more luminous. Their short lives ended in enormous explosions called supernovae, so they had neither the
