Here’s a fun one for Mac nostalgia fans: a new project by hobbyist Nick Gillard has taken the idea of mini retro builds to a whole micro level. Called the pico-mac-nano, this is a working replica of the original Macintosh that stands just 62 millimeters tall (that’s 2.4 inches for you, Casey Liss). And what’s more, you can actually run MacPaint and MacWrite on it. How awesome is that? The project (via BoingBoing) builds on an earlier open-source emulator by Matt Evans, who had already managed

In the first episode of the first season of The Handmaid’s Tale, viewers met Janine, played by Madeline Brewer. Like June, the main character played by Elisabeth Moss, she’s been abducted by Gilead and is now in the Red Center, where new handmaids are forced to learn their horrifying new duties. When Janine talks back, she’s hauled off for a biblical punishment: the loss of her eye. That set the tone for Janine’s harrowing journey throughout the series—but she never lost her spirit, and in the e

The Handmaid’s Tale ended its run this week with an episode titled “The Handmaid’s Tale,” bringing June (Elisabeth Moss) full circle while also allowing Hulu to leave the door wide open for The Testaments, the upcoming series based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 sequel to her 1985 novel. Emotional punctuation took priority over narrative closure, which felt like the best and only choice.

The Handmaid’s Tale has just one episode left to wrap up the story of June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss), who’s been fighting to take down Gilead since 2017—and has finally made some rather big strides in that direction. The penultimate episode of the Hulu show’s sixth and final season packed in a few major “oh shit” moments, including several farewells. Some were poignant. Others were not. Nobody is going to cry for Commander Wharton. That includes Serena, who’s now twice a widow, and whose intel h

When you finish watching season two of Andor, the natural next move is to dive right into Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the movie that introduced Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor to the galaxy far, far away. But he’s not actually the lead character in the 2016 film—that distinction goes to Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso, daughter of reluctant Death Star architect Galen Erso. And while Andor leads right into Rogue One, and the two stories share many of the same characters, Andor creator Tony Gilroy made the

There are some awful women on The Handmaid’s Tale, but men make up the bulk of its villainous characters. That goes for individual men like the thankfully departed Commander Fred Waterford, but also “men of Gilead” as a collective, oppressive, violent, misogynistic whole. The show tends to deal in heavy-handed themes, but it’s also invested in creating complex characters. The most fascinating examples are Gilead insiders who realize too late they’re trapped in prisons of their own making. We’ve

Watching The Handmaid’s Tale for the first time, the inevitable question soon rises: how did a place as oppressive and cruel as Gilead come to be? Over six seasons, we’ve learned the Gilead origin story through flashbacks sprinkled into the main narrative—something that feels increasingly like a cautionary tale for American viewers in 2025—and the Hulu show has also filled in blanks for its main players. But in a recent episode, it gave us another fresh glance into one character’s life “before.”
