Everything has a purpose. Everything has a goal, even though if it's vengeance.

ExtraBall: How to put on a swimming cap...

SUPERMAN: LEGACY

There was a time, back in the '90s, when going to the movies felt like a weekend ritual. Every Friday brought new and varied releases. There was always something that grabbed your attention—maybe a wild comedy, an action flick full of explosions, or a story that hit you right in the feels. Not every movie was a masterpiece, but most of them did the job: they entertained you, made you laugh, pulled you in. And the best part? You walked out of the theater feeling like it was worth it, like you hadn't been ripped off. (Back then, 4 euros got you a ticket, popcorn, and a drink.)

Nowadays, though, it’s hard to find something that actually makes you want to pay for the big screen experience. Weeks can go by without a single release that doesn’t feel recycled, predictable, or just plain boring. I don’t know if it’s me getting pickier, the industry running out of ideas and cash, or a mix of both. But in this case, it really does feel like the “good old days” weren’t just nostalgia—things really were better back then.

DC just dropped a nearly five-minute clip on YouTube featuring David Corenswet as Superman, along with his dog, Krypto. The video shows a wounded Superman in a frozen, icy setting.

TODAY'S CHEMISTRY LESSON

Remember those chemistry classes where you'd mix things, secretly hoping something would explode? Today we've got something similar—but with an artistic twist.

We start with a single magnified water droplet, then add substances like hydroxides, salts, and minerals—things with strange names like "sodium hydroxide and cobalt chloride," "potassium iodide and lead acetate," or "luminol solution and potassium ferricyanide." And that's when the magic happens.

Each combination triggers an amazing chemical reaction within that tiny droplet: bursts of color, mesmerizing textures, and patterns that look straight out of a microscopic galaxy. It's like painting without brushes—creating art without knowing exactly what you'll get.

Get ready, because this chemistry lesson is nothing like high school. This is pure scientific beauty.

BORN IN RUSSIA

Being born here or there, into a rich or poor family, is so incredibly random that sometimes we forget just how much life resembles a roll of the dice—one we don't even get to throw ourselves. Think about it: coming into this world is literally the universe’s biggest lottery, and it's absurd how something we have absolutely zero control over defines us from day one.

Some people land straight into mansions with swimming pools, surrounded by privileges they never even asked for. Others are born between bare walls and leaking roofs, facing limited chances from the moment they open their eyes. And here's the kicker: no one earned the conditions they're born into. There’s no merit, no initial effort—just pure chance.

Whether we're born lucky or unlucky massively shapes our paths: education, health, opportunities, even our dreams and aspirations. Sure, there are those who preach that "where there’s a will, there’s a way," but reality is much harsher. Our randomly assigned starting point can either turbocharge our lives or slam on the brakes right from the start.

WALK, RUN, AND BREAKDANCE

In this video, Atlas, the crown jewel of Boston Dynamics, demonstrates policies developed through reinforcement learning, incorporating references from human motion capture and animation. This work was conducted as part of a research collaboration between Boston Dynamics and the Robotics and AI Institute (RAI Institute).
