On the Road in a Giant Almond

March 31, 2025

This article is adapted from the March 29, 2025, edition of Gastro Obscura’s Favorite Things newsletter. You can sign up here. Since the advent of the car, food companies have used them to advertise. Some simply painted their logos onto delivery trucks, while others created spectacles on wheels to get people talking, like the time that Moxie, the old-school soda company, put fake horses on top of cars that could be steered by a rider perched on the animal’s……

Zine Archives Preserve Trans Survival and Storytelling

March 31, 2025

On an August night in 1991, Nancy Jean Burkholder was kicked out of the Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival. It wasn’t because she was disrupting the event—it was because she was transgender. The lesbian feminist women’s music festival, which had been an annual event in Oceana County since 1976, claimed that they had a “womyn-born-womyn” policy that excluded trans women from attending. Nancy left the festival grounds, devastated, and returned to her home in New England. When the festival rolled……

The Shambles in Manchester, England

March 31, 2025

Most buildings in Manchester’s city center date after 1800, when the city was at the forefront of the Industrial Revolution. However, at the city’s northern edge, near the River Irwell, stand notably older structures. Among these are two timber-framed buildings, collectively known as the Shambles, located in what’s now called Shambles Square. Both buildings currently function as pubs. The Old Wellington, erected in 1552, originally severed as a draper’s shop starting in 1554 and only became a pub in 1830. The……

| Entrepreneurship

Documentary filmmaker Bruce David Klein had finished shooting for the day when he was told that his subject, Liza Minnelli, wanted to see him privately. He found her sitting on the edge of her bed. “She grabbed my hand. She started petting it and she looked up at me with those luminous, dark eyes and said, ‘Bruce, don’t put in anything phony in the movie. Don’t make me look like a phony,’” he said. After years of arguing with…

NEW YORK (AP) — For once, things are working out for Wile E. Coyote. After being shelved by Warner Bros. in 2023, the Looney Tunes film “Coyote vs. Acme” has found a new home. Ketchup Entertainment announced Monday that it acquired worldwide distribution rights to the film for an undisclosed sum. The deal gives new life to one of the three fully completed films that Warner Bros. elected to take a tax write-off on rather than release. The tactic,…

Tigers, swimming pools, a nightclub: The gang...

| Entrepreneurship

TOCORON, Venezuela (AP) — Tocorón once had it all. A nightclub, swimming pools, tigers, a lavish suite and plenty of food. This was not a Las Vegas-style resort, but it felt like it for some of the thousands who until recently lived in luxury in this sprawling prison in northern Venezuela. Here, between parties, concerts and weeks-long visits from wives and children, was the birthplace of the Tren de Aragua, a dangerous gang that has gained global notoriety after…

Meet Pennsylvania's Apple-Snatching 'Little Bigfoot'

March 31, 2025

Early one February morning in 2002, Rick Fisher was driving down Route 23 toward Marietta, Pennsylvania, when he saw what he thought was a child standing in the middle of the road. He slowed, planning to help—until he got close enough to see this was no child, or at least not a human one. The figure was about five feet tall, stick thin, and covered in dark hair. Fisher turned on his high beams to get a better look…….

| Entrepreneurship

OSLO, Norway (AP) — A rocket by a private European aerospace company launched from Norway on Sunday and crashed into the sea 30 seconds later. Despite the short test flight, Isar Aerospace said that it successfully completed the first test flight of its orbital launch vehicle by launching its Spectrum rocket from the island of Andøya in northern Norway. The 28-meter-long (92-foot-long) Spectrum is a two-stage launch vehicle specifically designed to put small and medium satellites into orbit. The…

For this computer scientist, MIT Open Learning...

March 30, 2025

As a college student in Serbia with a passion for math and physics, Ana Trišović found herself drawn to computer science and its practical, problem-solving approaches. It was then that she discovered MIT OpenCourseWare, part of MIT Open Learning, and decided to study a course on Data Analytics with Python in 2012 — something her school didn’t offer. That experience was transformative, says Trišović, who is now a research scientist at the FutureTech lab within MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial……

A Friendlier Form of Bullfighting in the...

March 28, 2025

A dusty arena in the French village of Marsillargues seems like an improbable setting for Carmen. The crowd is dressed in patterned shirts and denim—Provençal rancher wear—instead of opera attire. Yet, when Bizet’s rousing song booms over the loudspeaker, the cheers aren’t for a robust tenor taking center stage, but rather a brawny black bull. This beast is the star of a centuries-old tradition in the southern region known as the Wild West of France. Straddling sport and spectacle,……

| Entrepreneurship

NUUK, Greenland (AP) — Vice President JD Vance, his wife and other senior U.S. officials are due to visit an American military base in Greenland on Friday in a trip that was scaled back after an uproar among Greenlanders and Danes who were irked that the original itinerary was planned without consulting them. The revised trip to the semi-autonomous Danish territory comes as relations between the U.S. and the Nordic country have soured after U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly…

Preparing for a career at the forefront...

March 28, 2025

You’re an aerospace engineer on a tight timeline to develop a component for a rocket engine. No sweat, you think — you know the concepts by heart, and the model looks appropriate in CAD. But you inspect the 3D-printed part that you’ve outsourced for manufacturing, and something is wrong. The impeller blade angle is off, and the diameter is larger than the design intent. The vendor won’t get back to you. Suddenly you’re over budget. Something is leaking. Running……

Mapping the future of metamaterials

March 27, 2025

Metamaterials are artificially-structured materials with extraordinary properties not easily found in nature. With engineered three-dimensional (3D) geometries at the micro- and nanoscale, these architected materials achieve unique mechanical and physical properties with capabilities beyond those of conventional materials — and have emerged over the past decade as a promising way to engineering challenges where all other existing materials have lacked success. Architected materials exhibit unique mechanical and functional properties, but their full potential remains untapped due to challenges in……
