SPRITE SHOWER

The summer is coming, people. Brands know it and begin telling publicists not to fall asleep. The agency hired by Sprite has done its homework.

MOTORPORN VOL69

This girl tries to imitate the sound of a sports car revving. And she nails it—not with precision, but with attitude. There’s something about the way she does it, that mix of sexy and innocent, that feels like a car engine purring just before it gets serious. Like those seconds right before the climax, when everything’s shaking but hasn’t exploded yet.
The roar of a V8 isn’t that far from the moan of a woman enjoying herself. That deep, growling, savage sound—or that gentle idle whispering in your ear: "Get ready for what’s coming."

Machines that stir things up. Women that raise your pulse. And sounds that turn you on without laying a finger on you.

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.

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).

THE KUNGFU BOT FROM UNITREE ROBOTICS COULD REPLACE YOUR BOUNCER

Unitree Robotics is a Chinese company specializing in advanced robotics. Founded in 2016 by Xingxing Wang and based in Hangzhou, the company gained fame for its robotic dogs, known for their agility, stability, and affordability compared to competitors like Boston Dynamics.

Although these robots are often marketed as tools to assist humanity in research, industry, and consumer applications, the truth is that they could also be deployed in warfare. Best not to dwell on that too much—like drones, they are a total game-changer.

For now, let’s focus on Unitree Robotics' latest masterpiece: the Kungfu BOT, a bipedal version of their robotic dogs with a humanoid appearance and the ability to perform an impressive 720-degree spinning kick. Imagine facing one of these if you step out of line at a bar!

ARMORED QUAD

If weapons didn’t exist, this wouldn’t be necessary. But since they do, we have to build something that can withstand them. And so we keep going—always one step ahead, or maybe just one step back.
It begs the question: are we really progressing, or just caught in an endless cycle of attack and defense?

AI-GENERATED NIGHTMARES

david
They’re not dreams — but they easily could be. AI has learned how to recreate that visual chaos we feel in our nightmares: eerie settings, twisted figures, movements that defy logic, and that strange unease you can’t quite explain… but definitely feel. And the scariest part? It’s really good at it.

When they swap her out for the real thing and you end up feeling tricked and used.
