Thanks to a complex mathematical algorithm, these plastic shapes follow a very specific route as they roll. In fact, researchers have shown that a shape can be designed to follow almost any path you can think of. Read the associated nature paper: 🔒

@Nature It’s like the line of rolling path is describing the complexity of its shape lol

Updated my SVG-to-CSS converter to support multiple path elements. An easy way to convert complex SVG shapes into CSS. It's a single-element implementation with a single shape() value! You can also have the border-only version using border-shape.

Peskov on the talks in Abu Dhabi: "I cannot yet give an assessment. It would be a mistake to expect any high level of effectiveness from the first contacts. This is a very complex matter, with complex issues on the agenda. However, the very fact that these contacts have begun in a constructive manner can be viewed positively. Serious work still lies ahead." The usual evasive talk of "complex matters" and "constructive contacts," designed to delay peace and buy time while Russia continues to destroy Ukraine and commit genocide against its civilian population.

You can do almost anything ridiculous in a car. If you follow it by a gentle wave of the hand, we're going to be friends.

A paper in nature suggests that bumblebees can teach others new behaviours too complex for them to learn alone. In the study, a bee taught to solve a puzzle for a sugary reward can go on to train other bees to complete the task.

Trigger Warning ‼️ Temp Post, There’s a reason that Hitlers speeches are difficult to find.. “In these so-called democratic countries, the people as such are not taken into consideration at all, the only thing that counts is the existence of these few creators of democracy, in reality, money rules in these countries. They talk about press freedom, when in fact all these newspapers have one owner, and the owner is, in any case, the sponsor. This press then shapes public opinion. These political parties don’t have any differences at all, like before with us. You already know the old political parties, they were all the same. The struggle between the people and the hatred amongst them is being nurtured by very specific interested parties, it is a small rootless, international clique, that is turning the people against each other, that does not want them to have peace. JEWS!, they are the only ones who can be addressed as international elements, because they conduct their business everywhere, but the people cannot follow them.” Adolf Hitler

Robots with tentacles! 🐙 SpiRobs are soft robots inspired by nature, designed in the shape of a logarithmic spiral. They mimic the flexible movements of octopus arms and elephant trunks to grasp objects. 🐘 SpiRobs use simple cables to move, making them easy to control and operate. They can scale from small to large sizes, ranging from centimeters to meters. The robots can adapt to different object shapes, improving their grasping ability. A mini version can act as a tiny gripper, while a large version can be mounted on drones. Interestingly, multiple robots can work together to wrap around and hold large objects. That's just out of this world! 😮‍💨 ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Katie Edwards, the Medical Director at Annapolis Pediatrics in Maryland, says that she follows "science and fact" to treat children while wearing a transgender pin. How can you follow "science and facts" if you think boys can become girls and kids can be born in the “wrong body”?

Handle yourself. Keep yourself in check. Keep yourself on the path. Lead yourself so that you become a person that others will follow. And they will follow you on the path. The path of discipline, of righteousness, and the path that leads to peace and to freedom. 166-3:04:28

Elon Musk: A future of amazing abundance means that if you can think of it, you can have it. “Sustainable energy, space travel, AI and robotics will bring amazing abundance to everyone. It’s really the only path to amazing abundance. It's not to say it can’t go wrong, but I think it’ll probably go right. It’ll be a future that you love. It’s the best future I can think of. Then, we go beyond the Moon, beyond Mars, and sail through the Rings of Saturn. Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could take a trip to Saturn? Frankly, if you have a trip to Saturn, I think things will be free in the future. It sounds nuts, but if you’ve got an AI-robotics economy that is anywhere close to a million times the size of the current Earth economy, literally any need you possibly want can be met. If you can think of it, you can have it. Iain Banks in his Culture books has it pretty much right: there actually isn’t money in the future, and there’s abundance for everyone. If you can think of it, you can have it. That means anyone could have a trip to Saturn—it won’t be just a few people. If you want it, you can have it.” From: Terafab announcement, March 21, 2026

Suddenly, people come with a certain spirit and say these words: You can drink. You can engage in premarital sex. You can be homosexual. You can be a promoter of the LGBTQ movement without knowing the agenda of that evil movement or even the warnings of the Popes. You can belong to any Christian sect to gain salvation. You can be pro-choice. You can use contraception. You can commit fornication and adultery. You can believe in any religion and still gain salvation. For them, the Galatians chapter declares: “As we said before, so now I say again: If any one preach to you a gospel, besides that which you have received, let him be anathema.” Galatians 1:9
