Recently, our designer, José, embarked on an exciting trip, trading the familiar silhouette of the Seattle skyline for the dazzling and bustling streets of Tokyo, Japan. What started as a birthday getaway quickly evolved into a deep dive into Japan’s carry culture, offering fresh insights on how people move through their day, one bag and egg sandwich at a time.

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-11-11 15:00:35

Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, is well known as one of the most extreme anti-immigrant voices in the administration. But he’s not just a ghoul driven by far-right ideology to rid the U.S. of anyone who’s not white. Miller also appears to be making some money in the process, thanks to his stock ownership in a company that’s helping the U.S. government rip apart immigrant families through deportation. Miller owns anywhere from $100,000 to $250,000 in Palantir stock, a

Harry Brearley, the creator of stainless steel (2016)

news.ycombinator.com Jonathan Waldman 2025-11-15 17:52:27

Sometime in 1882, a skinny, dark-haired, 11-year-old boy named Harry Brearley entered a steelworks for the first time. A shy kid—he was scared of the dark, and a picky eater—he was also curious, and the industrial revolution in Sheffield, England, offered much in the way of amusements. He enjoyed wandering around town—he later called himself a Sheffield Street Arab—watching road builders, bricklayers, painters, coal deliverers, butchers, and grinders. He was drawn especially to workshops; if he

One of the best things about Summer Game Fest is discovering games that blend some of your favorite classics into something wholly new.

After 10 days with only two members, the Senate confirmed Republican Olivia Trusty to the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday. That brings the total number of commissioners up to three, ending a brief period where the FCC didn’t meet the quorum threshold for what’s typically a five-person panel. In a one-week period at the beginning of June, Republican Nathan Simington and Democratic Commissioner Geoffrey Starks both resigned from the FCC. Trusty was previously a staffer for Sen. Roger

Ethan Hunt Doesn’t Die in the New ‘Mission Impossible,’ But They Considered It

When the eighth Mission: Impossible film changed its title to “The Final Reckoning,” we all had the same thought: Tom Cruise’s character, Ethan Hunt, was going to die. It would have been the most obvious way to add some real finality to the franchise, but we now know that doesn’t happen. Instead, Ethan lives, as does his sworn enemy, the Entity. And, in a new interview, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie discussed those crucial decisions and many more. In an extended, spoiler-filled conversa

Caltrain official lived in secret apartment built illegally inside train station

Joseph Navarro’s apartment was a typical Bay Area bachelor pad: on the small side, somewhat lacking in homey touches or creature comforts. But the location was hard to beat: stashed away inside the Burlingame Caltrain station. Images released Thursday by the San Mateo County district attorney’s office show the interior of the secret dwelling that Navarro, a former Caltrain deputy director, built illegally using public funds.
