You think that Darwinian evolution is something that takes millennia of random mutations and survival of the fittest and then you notice how your neighbourhood cats have adapted to the local gardens within maybe 25 years

Watching the Goodwood Revival last week I was inspired by the simplicity of the early 60s Formula Juniors - 400kg, 100bhp, skinny tyres, no downforce, yet they were lapping as fast as a Porsche GT3. A modern interpretation of these could make a great cheap track car. So I sketched a quick concept

I don’t want a new Muppet Show from people looking for a premise. How is it possible that there are 8 billion people in the world who all know what The Muppet Show is about but this is being handled by the only 7 people who don’t?!

There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival. Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on. (Source: Deadline)

The only folding phone I’d want back. From a purely tactile and form-factor point of view this Ericsson T28 was my favourite phone. Small, solid, ergonomic, and looked and felt great.

Post a picture of you from another era 📸 21 years old, 1996, all dreams and plans while living the moment. “those few excruciating and exhilarating days during which naïveté and wisdom stare each other down, before they strike whatever truce, in your life, keeps you from imploding"

“Nir” actually means a ploughed field, ready for planting. This is an old tool used for making a Nir. It was a popular name in 1970s Israel and has had a recent resurgence post 7th October following the destruction to communities like Nir Oz and need for regrowth from that raw potential of a Nir
