New Sonic cartoon and Crazy Taxi movie in the works for Netflix (opens in a new tab)

Crazy Taxi will see a feature film written by Dan Gregor and Doug Mand, who penned the 2025 reboot of The Naked Gun. It will be produced by Original Film’s Neal H. Moritz and Toby Ascher and Sega’s Toru Nakahara, the producers of the Sonic the Hedgehog live-action movie franchise.

Idk, man. Sonic, I get. There’s only so much you can do with giving people taxi rides. But then again, regular Taxi was a great show and it wasn’t even crazy.

Inside ‘Project Lily’: The Humans Reading Your ChatGPT Chats (opens in a new tab)

OpenAI is hiring hundreds of contractors who read a massive stream of real users’ ChatGPT prompts, with the prompts sometimes including sensitive personal information, 404 Media has learned.

I can’t say I’m surprised but this is pretty fucking creepy nonetheless. Imagine how many people at Meta probably have access to pervert glasses feeds too. None of this shit is private.

NASA-backed scientists turn plastic waste into edible cookies (opens in a new tab)

Scientists have engineered yeast to turn PET plastic and agricultural waste into ingredients for protein-rich, 3D-printed cookies called µBites. Developed partly for NASA’s Deep Space Food Challenge, the system can produce proteins, fats, vitamins, and even vanilla flavoring from waste materials.

My first instinct was to make a joke about eating more microplastics, but it reminds me of those NileRed YouTube videos where he turns random stuff into food.

Five Guys, the burger restaurant, selected the 2026 Grammy-winning Baltimore hardcore group as its featured artist on September 4th.

Well they’ve finally arrived. For real though, Turnstile has been blowing up over the last few years. They’ve come a long way since that show they played at the ice skating rink in my home town circa 2013.

Why you shouldn't put a house spider outside (opens in a new tab)

According to Study Finds, most indoor spiders — the common house spider among them — evolved for life indoors: stable temperatures, low airflow, and a steady trickle of small insects. Release one outdoors, and it’s likely to die.

Wolf spiders can get right the fuck back outside, but I do tend to leave the frail little guys alone. My favorites are always the pretty yellow orb weavers who hang out right outside the door and keep the bigger bugs away though, like this one.
