The Amazing World Of Tomorrow
A comic strip titled The Amazing World of Tomorrow. A food delivery robot cooler drives down a sidewalk. It crashes into a rental scooter. It backs up. It crashes into the rental scooter again. The scooter wobbles. The scooter falls to the ground as the food delivery robot backs up again. A driverless taxi crashes into both the scooter and the food delivery robot sending them flying.

Happy birthday Cow Tools! Here’s Gary Larson explaining how it made him “want to crawl into a hole somewhere and die”
A page from Prehistory of the Far Side, explaining the reception to the strip. Copy/paste to the rescue: The "Cow tools" episode is one that will probably haunt me for the rest of my life. A week after it was published back in 1982, I wanted to crawl into a hole somewhere and die. Cows, as some Far Side readers know, are a favorite subject of mine. quintessentially absurd animal for I've always found them to be the situations even more absurd. Even the name "cow," to me, is intrinsically funny. And so one day I started thinking back on an anthropology course I had in college and how we learned that man used to be defined as "the only animal that made and shaped tools." Unfortunately, researchers discovered that certain primates and even some bird species did the same thing—so the definition had to be extended somewhat to avoid awkward situations such as someone hiring a crew of chimpanzees to remodel their kitchen. Inevitably, I began thinking about cows, and what if they, too, were discovered as toolmakers. What would they make? Primitive tools are always, well, primitive-looking-appearing rather nondescript to the lay person. So, it seemed to me, whatever a cow would make would have to be even a couple notches further down the "skill-o-meter." I imagined, and subsequently drew, a cow standing next to her workbench, proudly displaying her handiwork (hoofiwork?). The "cow tools" were supposed to be just meaningless artifacts- only the cow or a cowthropologist is supposed to know what they're used for. The first mistake I made was in thinking this was funny. The second was making one of the tools resemble a crude handsaw-which made already confused people decide that their only hope in understanding the cartoon meant deciphering what the other tools were as well. Of course, they didn't have a chance in hell. But, for the first time, "Cow tools" awakened me to the fact that my profession was not fust an isolated exercise in the corner of my apartment. at "Cow tools." Someone sent me the front page of one newspaper 3 B14.)" T was mortified. which, down in one comer, ran the tease, "Cow Tools: What does it mean? See In the first year or two of drawing The Far Side, I always believed my carter perpetually hung by a thread. And this time I was convinced it had been finally severed. Tenically, when the dust had finally seuled and as a result of aft "aise" it made, "Cow tools" became more of a boost to The Far Side than ayahing else. so, in summary. I drew a really weird, obtuse cartoon that no one understood edwasn't funny and therefore I went on to even greater success and recognition. Yeah—T like this country. "The Far Side, a single-panel cartoon by Gary Larson, obviously went too far to the side some time af0 and threw great chunks of the populace into panalto confusion." - Newspaper Columnist, Chicago "Tasxed 37 people to explain the 'Cow tools' (cartoon) of last weok but with D0 luck. Could you help?* -Reader, Califomia "Enclosed is a copy of the 'Cow Tools' cartoon. I have passed it around. I bave posted it on the wall. Conservatively, some 40-odd professionals with detoral degrees in disparate disciplines have examined it. No one understands it. Even my 6-year-old cannot figure it out...We are going bonkers. Please help. What is the meaning of 'Cow Tools'? What is the meaning of life? -Reader, Texas 'We give up. Being intelligent, hard-working men, we don't often say this, but your cartoon has proven to be beyond any of our intellectual capabilities. •..Is there some significance to this cartoon that eludes us, or have we been completely foolish in our attempts to unravel the mystery behind 'Cow Tools'?" -Reader, California

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024 INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

whatever version the new android home screen just dropped in an ota is, it's very nice. everything feels tight and put together in a way it hasn't for a long time. black icons are great too.
