U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs still uses hydroxychloroquine on COVID-19 patients, despite risks of unproven drug
The United States Department of Veterans Affairs said Friday that it will not stop use of hydroxychloroquine, an unproven malaria drug pushed by Trump, on veterans with COVID-19.“VA has not endorsed nor discouraged the use of hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients and has left those decisions to providers and their patients,” the VA told The Associated Press:As of Friday, 11,883 veterans are confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus and 985 have died of COVID-19, according to VA statistics.From The Associated Press:In responses provided to Congress and obtained by The Associated Press, the VA said it never “encouraged or discouraged” its government-run hospitals to use hydroxychloroquine on patients even as President Donald Trump heavily promoted the drug for months without scientific evidence of its effectiveness.Still, it acknowledged that VA Secretary Robert Wilkie had wrongly asserted publicly without evidence that the drug had been shown to benefit younger veterans. The VA, the nation’s largest hospital system, also agreed more study was needed on the drug and suggested its use was now limited to extenuating circumstances, such as last-ditch efforts to save a coronavirus patient’s life.In the first week of May, 17 patients had received the drug for COVID-19, according to VA data obtained by the AP. The department declined to say how many patients had been treated with hydroxychloroquine for the coronavirus since January, but a recent analysis of VA hospital data showed that hundreds of veterans had taken it by early April.“VA has not endorsed nor discouraged the use of hydroxychloroquine in COVID-19 patients and has left those decisions to providers and their patients,” the VA said.

Google is about to be hit with multiple antitrust cases in the U.S., reports WSJ
The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that federal and state regulators in the U.S. are preparing to file antitrust lawsuits against Google, saying the company abused its dominance of online search and advertising to crush competition and maximize profit.Both the federal and state investigations are said to be focused on Google’s ad business.The WSJ report cites unidentified people familiar with the probes in a story about the upcoming offensive by the U.S. Justice Department and the attorneys general in several states.From the Associated Press (not paywalled):The Justice Department may file its case as early as this summer while Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton may take action in the fall, along with his peers in other states, according to the Journal.U.S. Attorney General William Barr has previously said he hoped to decide whether to pursue an antitrust case against Google by the summer. Texas and other states announced they were looking into Google’s business practices last September.Google acknowledged it has ongoing discussions with the Justice Department and Paxton without elaborating on the nature of the talks. “Our focus is firmly on providing services that help consumers, support thousands of businesses, and enable increased choice and competition,” the company said in a statement.READ MORE: Justice Department, State Attorneys General Likely to Bring Antitrust Lawsuits Against Google [WSJ]Report: Google facing onslaught of antitrust cases in US Read the rest

Criminal hackers breach law firm, threaten to release Trump documents
A criminal hacker group that breached a major entertainment law firm says it will release documents on President Donald Trump if it doesn’t receive $42 million in ransom.The hackers are identified as a known criminal gang. They did not offer proof that they have damaging information about Trump. But they released a large set of stolen files from the law firm, Grubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks, which are reported to be legitimate by NBC News.The law firm said that Trump is not a client and has never been. A spokesperson for the firm said it wasn't clear which of its clients have been compromised.The group uses ransomware — a type of malicious software — to break into a victim’s networks and encrypt them, demanding a fee to unlock them. If the victim doesn’t pay up, the group slowly leaks out unencrypted versions of files stolen from those networks to prompt payment.The criminal group posted on its blog a threat to publish files related to Trump.“The next person we'll be publishing is Donald Trump. There's an election race going on, and we found a ton of dirty laundry on time,” the group wrote, giving a one-week deadline. “And to you voters, we can let you know that after such a publication, you certainly don't want to see him as president.”Read More:Criminal group that hacked law firm threatens to release Trump documents[NBC News] Read the rest

Apple has their own way of doing things — and as a user, you either get on board with their proprietary exclusivity...or you go find a new device.Even today, handling simple operations like backing up files, moving media, or just saving text messages usually have to go through other Apple apps like iTunes, an unnecessary extra step in our click-and-drag world.Assuming you’re not looking to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad and void your warranty, the iMazing iOS Device Manager is a smart workaround to streamline all the data management you need to be done without getting tripped up in unwanted process steps.With a 4.5 out of 5-star rating from Macworld, who call iMazing “the device manager we’ve been waiting for,” this is the all-purpose tool for handling your files your way, transferring files between any Mac or PC and any iOS device wirelessly or via USB.Managing music, photos, video, ebooks or other files is click-and-drag simple — and you won’t get bogged down funneling through iCloud, iTunes or another Apple content management system. iMazing will also save, export, and print your iPhone messages with ease.iMazing is also on the backup case as well. You can set up automatic or manually archived backups, all meticulously maintained, stored, then discarded when no longer needed.

Southern restaurant fills empty seats with blow-up dolls
Yesterday, we learned that Michelin-starred restaurant The Inn in Washington, DC had seated elegantly-dressed mannequins at their tables to fill the void left by half-capacity restrictions. Turns out, the Open Hearth restaurant in Taylors, South Carolina hit on the same idea but their approach matches the eatery's more casual atmosphere. From UPI:[Proprietor Paula Starr] Melehes said she ordered "the G-rated kind" of inflatable dolls from Amazon, dressed them up like customers and seated them at tables that would be off-limits to diners."My grandson told me they look kind of creepy," Melehes said. "But, I think, when people walk in, they're going to laugh." Read the rest

The Polaroid OneStep revival is the true party camera that everybody needs right now
Retro cool doesn’t get much cooler than the Polaroid. Even in the age of smartphone cameras with digital images that can be texted to friends almost the second after they’re taken, there’s still something old-school awesome about a camera that spits out a real, tangible photo you can hold in your hand.When Polaroid dropped the original OneStep way back in 1977, it was an instant smash and the true start of the point-and-shoot photography age we still live in today. Now, Polaroid is back with the Polaroid OneStep 2 to carry on the legacy of instant cameras and spread the wonder of photos that develop in front of your eyes.This revived OneStep 2 has a few technological advantages over its 1970s cousin, but for the most part, it’s still the same camera America loved a half-century ago. The endearingly boxy design with a simple one-button operation keeps the camera firmly planted in its analog roots. However, the OneStep 2 has a rechargeable USB-powered battery, a built-in flash, and — in its biggest nod to modern photography — a selfie timer.Best of all, the OneStep 2 uses Polaroid’s new battery-free i-Type film, which loads easily and produces those cool, soft, desaturated images that look just like they popped out of a 1977 model. In addition to the i-Type film that only works with newer model Polaroids, the OneStep 2 also takes 600 film, which is compatible with Polaroids from the classic era.While the Polaroid doesn’t have the bells and whistles of a DSLR, its breezy retro charm and joy-inducing images make it a revival gadget that actually feels like a fun trip to the past.

Listen: Inspiring commencement speech from Astro Teller, X's captain of moonshots
Astro Teller is the head of X, the "Moonshot Factory" that first launched as an R&D division of Google. iHeart Radio invited Astro to be part of a fantastic podcast series of virtual commencement speeches for 2020 graduates (and the rest of us) that they collected from the likes of John Legend, Bill & Melinda Gates, Hillary Clinton, George Lopez, Mary J Blige, and several dozen more. I've recently been working with the folks at X, and their celebration of weirdness, radical creativity, and urgent optimism is very real. And it's infectious. Listen to Astro's speech above. From his blog post:On the one hand, this is an incredibly daunting time. On the other, we have a once-in-a-century opportunity to hit the reset button, let go of conventional ways of thinking, and rebuild the world in radically better ways. This shift in perspective might feel difficult, even premature. However, the alternative — to try to claw society back towards an old normal that wasn’t working that well in many ways — is far worse. And counterintuitively, those of us who are newer and fresher in our fields, like the Class of 2020, may have some of the strongest tailwinds as we search for new approaches to the world’s most pressing problems. We’ve seen many times over the years at X that strategic naivete is actually a superpower.One of my messages for graduates is to not worry that they don’t know the answers. The mental freedom and flexibility they have, and their willingness to learn and experiment, is going to be a secret to success in a world where there are no ready answers and no playbook.

Someone invented convertible hospital beds that turn into coffins
From Global News:A Colombian advertising company is pitching a novel if morbid solution to shortages of hospital beds and coffins during the coronavirus pandemic: combine them.ABC Displays has created a cardboard bed with metal railings that designers say can double as a casket if a patient dies.[…]The beds can hold a weight of 330 pounds (150 kilograms) and will cost about $85 each, Gómez said. He said he worked with a private clinic on the design, which he hopes will be put to use in emergency clinics that might become short on beds.At least one doctor was skeptical of how sturdy a cardboard bed might be. He also warned that any corpses should first be placed in a sealed bag before being put in a cardboard coffin to avoid potentially spreading the disease.What stage of Dystopian Hell is this?Colombian company creates hospital beds that can double as coffins [César García / Global News] Read the rest

The Adventures of Forager) about BOWIE: Stardust, Rayguns & Moonage Daydreams.Jeffery Klaehn: Please tell me about BOWIE: Stardust, Rayguns & Moonage Daydreams. Michael Allred: It's a visual biography about how David Bowie exploded into superstardom with the invention of his Ziggy Stardust persona. His whole life is represented, but the bulk of it focuses on the amp up to "Ziggy-Mania" with the goal to make it as visually interesting as possible, using the music and visual iconography as inspiration.JK: How would you say music has influenced your art and sensibilities over the course of your career to date?Michael Allred: It's massive. Music injects imagery into my head. It keeps me loose, lights me up, and fuels me.JK: What's Bowie and his music meant for you?Michael Allred: Bowie was the first musical entity I discovered on my own. Looking for comics at the local drugstore, a rock mag with Bowie on the cover jumped out at me. It was so compelling I bought the just-released "Rebel Rebel" single, and I was hooked. A crash course and lifetime addiction to all things Bowie followed.JK: What are your favorite Bowie songs and albums?Michael Allred: After buying that first single I started with the Diamond Dogs album and bought everything leading up to that with my paper route money all in a very short period of time.

New "tear gas" ice cream flavor in Hong Kong makes it hard to breathe
To support the pro-democracy movement, a gelato shop in Hong Kong has introduced a new ice cream flavor of ice cream called "tear gas." And it's not easy to swallow (literally). One customer who had been tear gassed at a protest said the ice cream, made of black peppercorns, tastes a lot like the real thing.From NBC:"It feels difficult to breathe at first, and it’s really pungent and irritating," she told the Associated Press. “I think it’s a flashback that reminds me of how painful I felt in the movement, and that I shouldn’t forget.” An ice cream shop in Hong Kong is selling a tear gas flavoured ice cream - the main ingredient is black pepper.It's meant as a sign of support for the pro-democracy movement which has dissipated since the #COVID19 pandemic.Latest world news: https://t.co/tRWF6dxtrt pic.twitter.com/KqpupBgfAi— SkyNews (@SkyNews) May 15, 2020 Read the rest

Mitch McConnell admits he was wrong. Obama administration DID leave a pandemic plan
After falsely claiming on Monday that the Obama administration never left "any kind of game plan" for a possible pandemic, Mitch McConnell did what most of the GOP would consider unthinkable. He uttered the three words "I was wrong." "They did leave behind a plan, so I clearly made a mistake in that regard," he continued on Fox last night.From CNN:The document, whose existence was publicly revealed by Politico in March, is called the Playbook for Early Response to High-Consequence Emerging Infectious Disease Threats and Biological Incidents.The playbook contains step-by-step advice on questions to ask, decisions to make and which federal agencies are responsible for what. It includes sample documents that officials could use for inter-agency meetings. And it explicitly lists novel coronaviruses as one of the kinds of pathogens that could require a major response.Additionally, outgoing senior Obama officials also led an in-person pandemic response exercise for senior incoming Trump officials in January 2017 -- as required by a new law on improving presidential transitions that Obama signed in 2016.Last week, Obama described the Trump administration's coronavirus response as "an absolute chaotic disaster" during a private call with people who worked for him in the White House.

Cory Doctorow wrote a good explainer about modern monetary theory
Cory Doctorow explained modern monetary theory to me last year while we were in my kitchen. It changed my attitude towards balanced budgets and national deficits. If you would like to read Cory's explanation of modern monetary theory, he wrote it on his website today.If governments are the source of money, then they don't tax us in order to spend. They spend (which puts money into the economy) and then tax back.If the government runs a "balanced budget" that means it's taxing as much money of out existence as it is spending into existence, leaving behind no money for the rest of us to save or spend. Balanced budgets starve the private sector of the money it needs to operate.He also recommends this podcast interview with Stephanie Kelton, author of The Deficit Myth: Read the rest

Black delivery driver in Oklahoma blocked by white man for being in a gated community
A black delivery driver in Oklahoma was blocked by a white man who didn't want the driver to leave his gated community until he explained why he was there. The driver, who eventually broke down in tears, was detained by the man – and another neighborhood resident who joined in – for over 30 minutes.From NBC:[Travis] Miller, 42, told NBC News that his customer in Edmond gave him the code to get through the neighborhood's gate. After completing the delivery and as they were trying to exit, a man who identified himself as David Stewart and a board member of the homeowners' association can be seen on the video questioning Miller and his co-worker about why they were on his street.Miller said in the video that he was trying to make a U-turn and that as he turned around, the man was blocking him in with a white Subaru."If I go around him, I'm going to have to drive on somebody's property and I don't want to make a bad situation worse," Miller said in the video.Miller repeatedly asked the man to move the car."I'm not moving," the man said. "All you have to do is tell me where you're going."Miller refused, saying he did not have to tell the man anything.Here's the full video: Read the rest
How come so many Christians fall for conspiracy theories?
Progressive Christian blogger Joe Forrest has a great piece up on Medium about conspiracy theories, that begins with the story of how he convinced his sixth grade class that the moon landing was faked. He rounds up plenty of thoughtful links, quotes, and observations about these dangerous beliefs in general, but also how they seduce and appeal to those who worship Jesus.Maybe it’s because, from a young age, many of us were taught the “scientific establishment” was out to destroy our belief in the Bible.Or maybe so many of us were convinced by the Left Behind books that a satanic one-world government was on the horizon, it just makes sense we need to be as vigilant as possible right now.Or maybe because we’ve already been conditioned by our own belief system that there exists a hidden spiritual reality that making the leap to a hidden “shadow government” reality isn’t all that big of a deal.And it’s important to note that a lot of Christians share conspiracy theories out of good faith. They believe they’re “exposing the truth.” But most conspiracy theories are rotten at the core. It’s obvious they’re rooted in fear, insecurity, and loneliness. And they’re often designed to give us more reasons to loathe our ideological enemies.Forrest's faith is clearly one of radical empathy, not of evangelical self-persecution, which gives him a unique perspective. He's clearly familiar with all kinds of Christian life, and writes with that audience in mind. Read the rest
Making DIY Homemade Puppets with Jim Henson in 1969
May 16 marks 30 years since Jim Henson passed away. To remember his delightful legacy, here's a public access video of him and Don Sahlin (who went on to create and voice Rowlf) from 1969, teaching kids how to make puppets out of random household objects like tennis balls and socks.h/t OpenCultureImage: Blake Handley / Flickr (CC 2.0) Read the rest
Learn how to build a Portals style video game with this Unity 3D training
Sometimes the best way to learn is to find something you really like and try to copy it exactly. Sure, it won’t be an original creation, but in understanding how the bones were assembled to construct this thing you love, you’ll likely learn valuable insight into why those decisions were made. Armed with that knowledge, you’ll have some important tools for creating something original of your own.When Portal debuted almost 15 years ago, the unique, creative, and entertaining game was immediately hailed as one of the industry’s best. Now, you’ll be given all the pieces to build your very own copy of that groundbreaking game and sharpen your creative skills in the Make a Portals Clone in Unity 3D and Blender From Scratch course.In this training, instructor and longtime video game maker John Bura leads students through all the steps to assemble your own game to look and feel just like the original...even though you’ll be adding your own personal touches along the way.Using the Unity game engine and 3D graphics builder Blender, you’ll fashion every element of your game world entirely from scratch, offering a keen perspective on how to design, code, and model a visually impressive 3D, first-person perspective game.Even for first time builders, the course offers a firm grip on exactly how Unity works so students can design all the game’s functionality. They’ll also learn how to code in C# to actually build video game levels. Finally, the introduction to Blender unlocks a whole world of 3D art as students fashion portal guns, obstacles, and other game elements in all their three-dimensional glory. Read the rest
New "Garbage Pail Kids Kitchen" cards use real photos of food
llustrator Robert Jimenez was inspired to create the new "Garbage Pail Kids Kitchen" one day eating lunch. Robert is a longtime illustrator of Garbage Pail Kids (GPK) cards and was peeling a banana when he had a flashback to Banana Anna, a classic GPK card depicting an anthropomorphic banana with a bite taken out of its head. So, he took a photo of it and used it to mock up a card, trying his best to re-create the original composition. He then pitched it to Topps. "Just thinking it was a goofy thing," he wrote BB in an email.They were very interested and asked if I could produce more. I submitted about 25 ideas. The project evolved a bit over a few months and it was decided to just stick to foods and call it GPK Kitchen. I arranged all the food, (made guts using Monster Clay) photographed them, then went to work on them in Photoshop.Love it!Packs of these sticker cards are available to buy now ($20), but only for a few days — get'em while they're hot! P.S. If you're a fan of GPK, go watch this documentary STAT: 30 Years of Garbage: The Garbage Pail Kids Story. images via Robert Jimenez Read the rest
Empty postcard display spinner is a superior nightmare noise maker
The Apprehension Engine is a custom musical instrument that generates the unsettling and scary noises often heard in horror movies. But it has nothing on this old postcard spinner. It can even make that metal-scraping noise that's used constantly as a "feel tension please" sign in reality TV shows. Read the rest
A stop motion ode to quarantine made entirely out of toilet paper
Animator Kate J. Miller has created a highly accurate ode to the shelter-in-place experience using our most precious commodity: toilet paper.“Two Ply Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” is the grand prize winner of KQED’s Homemade Film Festival. I worked on this festival, which was conceived as a way to inspire creativity and connection during shelter-in-place. Filmmakers were asked to submit a movie under 10 minutes long, created entirely at home. We expected a few entries, but, wow! We were hit with a cinema tsunami! A veritable tidal wave of amazing submissions. From an animated documentary about racism to a heavy metal ode to hamsters, there was really something for everyone.

This innovative toothbrush holder will reduce your exposure to germs
Despite our centuries of advancements, there’s ample evidence that sometimes humans just aren’t very bright.Just look at how most of us handle our toothbrush. After sweeping it around our mouths for two minutes, we rinse it, then usually deposit it into a janky glass or other holders, where all the still-congregated filth on our brushes ooze to the bottom. And if we share the bathroom with a partner, then we’re all just co-mingling our bacteria in the bottom of that godforsaken holder.Your toothbrush is home to more than 100 million bacteria, including E. coli, staph bacteria, and...umm...fecal germs. Yet, a far cleaner method for saving our brush from horrendous contamination is as simple as hanging it upside-down.The SensiFresh Toothbrush Holder was successfully funded over 20 times its goal total on Kickstarter by rethinking toothbrush etiquette with some very clear, effective common sense.Using a brush-like pattern of silicone heads in a protective holder, the SensiFresh grabs your toothbrush and holds it after use upside-down. Hanging like a bat, your brush not only drains and dries naturally, it never slides next to any partner brushes, avoiding the cross-contamination that helps bacteria spread like wildfire.Simply remove the strip at the back of the holder and adhere the SensiFresh right to the wall of your bathroom or shower to reap immediate benefits from your smarter, cleaner sanitization method.While the SensiFresh was initially designed for toothbrushes, its application extends even further to hold other bathroom hygiene products like a razor; or could even be used in a kitchen to grip cooking or even cleaning utensils.

These volcano-dwelling snails are metal as hell, and also have iron shells.
Deep in the depths of the hydrothermal volcanic vents of the Indian Ocean lives a type of scaly-footed snail that has learned how to protect itself from the elements with iron plated armor. As Wired described back in 2015:These shells aren’t totally rigid like plate armor. They’re more like the Black Knight’s chain mail—pliable, yet strong (well, maybe the Black Knight's armor wasn't all that strong, what with all the dismemberment). This is because there are three layers to the shell: the top layer is that iron-plated material and the bottom is a calcified material, with a thick, squishy organic layer in between. The iron provides the strength, while the squishy bit allows the shell to absorb the shock of, say, an ill-mannered crab clamping down on it.The scales on the foot serve a rather more righteous purpose. Some predatory snails hunt by firing harpoons into the flesh of fish and other snails and injecting a venom. It’s thought that the iron plating of the scaly-foot snail deflects that missile, like a knight’s armor deflecting a lance.Now, according to The Mirror — so take that with a grain of un-armored slug-killing salt — a team at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has figured out how, exactly, this spineless snail has figured out how to incorporate iron deposits into its own body and survive in a fucking volcano:"We found that one gene, named MTP (metal tolerance protein) 9, showed a 27-fold increase in the population with iron sulphide mineralization compared to the one without," said Dr Sun Jin.

See-thru rockets are GO for launch!
If you're as ancient as I am, you might remember that awesome line of Revell "Visible" model kits: The Visible Man, Visible Woman, Visible V-8, Visible Mustang, etc. These see-thru models were a fun way to teach kids what lies beneath the surfaces of biological and mechanical worlds. I loved these kits!Now, thanks to the wonders of modern desktop animation, we have this video of four transparent rockets showing engine burn and staging, from launch to orbital insertion.Key:Red = Kerosene RP-1Orange = Liquid Hydrogen LH2Blue = Liquid Oxygen LOXImage: YouTube Read the rest
French companies will have one hour to remove content at police demand
A law passed today in France obliges internet platforms to remove content within an hour or face huge fines, reports the BBC. The law concerns content related to terrorism or child sexual abuse, as determined by police.There are also fears that such tech could be used against groups such as protesters."Since 2015, we already had such a law that allowed the police to ask for the removal of some content if they deemed it to be terrorist... this has been used multiple times in France to censor political content," the spokesman said."Giving the police such a power, without any control... is obviously for us an infringement on the freedom of speech."Even large companies able to staff moderation crews 24/7 will have no effective window to review requests, let alone challenge them. Indeed, the only practical way to obey the laws will be to make the process as automatic as possible, which is surely the point.Fines are up to 4% of global turnover, which (for example) would work out to about 2.8bn for Facebook.

Listen to this 80s ambient synth playlist during your next D&D game
First Quest was an all-exclusive campaign for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. Released in 1985, the campaign map and other documentation came packaged as the insert to an epic ambient synth soundtrack meant to score the mission through the hobgoblin kingdom (interspersed with bits of narration, of course).Blogonomicon has more info if you're interested in actually playing along with the campaign. There was apparently a second version on CD that you can find through various sellers on Amazon, too. Read the rest
Ashampoo 3D CAD 7 brings architectural projects to digital life
If you’re a painter, a set of perfectly acceptable acrylic paints might cost you $50 to $100. But if you’re an architect, the supplies you need to fashion your art come at a much, much higher price. Therefore, architects don’t usually get to create until they’ve talked someone else into believing in their vision and, more importantly, signing a check.Usually, the only way to sell someone into believing that vision is by showing them — and for that, an architect, designer, or landscaper needs a dependable visualization tool to bring their concepts to life. For years, Ashampoo’s 3D CAD apps have been one of the digital tools of choice for turning ideas into concrete plans — and their latest version, Ashampoo 3D CAD 7: Architecture Version offers even more options for turning construction and design ideas into a digital finished version before a single shovel is turned or upholstery added. 3D CAD 7 comes with everything needed to draw up detailed floor and construction plans in either traditional 2D or virtual 3D views.With the app’s easy-to-use interface, creators assemble materials and layout their area, then use the SketchUp and Collada features to load in and save thousands of 3D objects instantly, including everything from generic items to brand-specific models. And if it isn’t already part of the object library, you can import new specifications and add them to your builds with ease.Users can apply realistic 3D surfaces to single walls or entire building facades in just a few clicks to see exactly what your project will look like before orders get placed and workers get started.
