From Raekwon’s “return” to Palantir’s offices, to Dr. Dre’s embrace of AI, rap’s pioneers are carrying an old faith in new machines into an era of platform ownership, surveillance, and automated music

Nightmare world!

It continues to both amaze and concern me that a whole other internet ecosystem appears to exist within the realm of Roblox. Recently, a game by the name of Steal an Egg has blown up on the UGC platform, which is more or less what it says on the tin: you need to steal an egg. This is Roblox we're talking about, however, so Steal an Egg comes with a big ole asterisk that comes in the form of a treadmill you can train on whereby you can doomscroll through TikTok videos.

Nvidia's new DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction feature is laser-focused on trying to fix the second most annoying thing about ray traced or path traced games: visual artifacting. Yes, the lighting effect does deliver the most accurate-looking lighting and shadows in games, but in motion there is a definite visual weirdness added into scenes.

In order to become a master of something, you need to be "of consummate skill" in whatever it is that you claim to be a master of. I feel confident in my experience with tugging, given that I was a rower, I tugged on oars and ergometer handles for eight years, and I even had a dog named Tug Boat, but I wouldn't claim the title of tugmaster. One vehicle that has duly earned the title of Tugmaster is the Douglas-Kalmar TBL-280 Tugmaster. It's a 35,000-pound airliner supertug, and Car And Driver's latest 'from the archives' article is a review of this funky looking goliath. If, like me, you've always wondered what it's like to drive one of the coolest and hardest-working airport vehicles, you're gonna want to read it.

Exton, PA, Aug. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cell therapy is emerging as a potentially important new treatment approach across neuro-immune diseases, with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell therapy programs advancing in generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG), multiple sclerosis (MS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), stiff person syndrome (SPS), myelin oligodendrocyte inflammatory disorder (MOGAD), and multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN). New research from Spherix Global Insights finds that 77% of surveyed neurologists believe that, if proven safe and effective, CAR T therapies could make current standards of care obsolete and redefine the management of neuro-immune diseases.
