A new daily word game from the creator of Wordle. There’s a lot of fun and unique gameplay design that just shines. It took me a few go-arounds to really get the hang of it, but once I did, it just sort of clicked—although I’m sure to be stumped pretty easily soon enough.

😱 Screamer News
mediaSo I built something on Friday and it's already gone through a ton of revisions, but it's at a point where I think I'm pretty happy with it. I wanted a simple place I could go to quickly catch up on the major topics of the day being covered by major publications to help avoid having to go to multiple homepages, troll social media feeds, or having to bog down my RSS reader with firehose feeds from big publications, in order to stay informed.

🎵 Albini Sessions (Benefit for Letters Charity), by Fugazi
musicLetters Charity is a nonprofit organization on a mission to use Art as a conduit to transform passive compassion into immediate assistance through the distribution of money given, without expectation or judgment, directly to families experiencing poverty.

The NBA just signed the biggest tv deal ever and can’t scrounge around the couch cushions for $2.7 million (which would cover $1k/month for 23 players for ten years)??? Hell, put $2mil in a savings account and between interest and guys passing away, it should be more than covered.
🌍 World Monitor - Real-Time Global Intelligence Dashboard
international“The system ingests 100-plus data streams simultaneously,” Habib notes. The result is a constantly updating map of global tensions: conflict zones with escalation scores, military aircraft broadcasting positions through ADS-B transponders, ship movements tracked through AIS signals, nuclear installations, submarine cables, internet outages and satellite fire detections.
This is incredibly cool.
The visual is stunning, and the whole idea of just having a dashboard of all major events happening across the globe is insane.
From conflicts to extreme weather and other major events; having a complete view pulling from so many sources and doing multiple source
