Augmented reality. DIY ASMR. Hot Wheels Cybertrucks. And so. Much. Baby. Yoda. This weekend we checked out Toy Fair 2020, the largest toy trade show in the Western hemisphere. Here are some of the best toys we saw: 1/ wired.trib.al/mEA7Hz5
Hot Wheels Tesla Cybertruck is 1/10 scale, goes 25 miles per hour, and costs $400. It’ll still probably be the first Cybertruck you can get your hands on. 2/ wired.trib.al/mEA7Hz5
The Shifu Tacto turns any tablet, Apple or Android, into a gaming platform. Placing a figurine on the screen controls the game 3/ wired.trib.al/mEA7Hz5

It wouldn’t be a 2020 toy fair without some ASMR. This kit comes with a tiny microphone, a speaker, a tray filled with bits of foam and plastic balls, and endless sensory possibilities. 4/ wired.trib.al/mEA7Hz5

3Doodler's new Build & Play is designed for kids whose motor skills aren't as developed as adults. It won’t let you draw in the air like the original 3Doodler pen, but it is safer and easier to use for youngsters. 5/

And there’s a lot more where that came from (did we mention Baby Yoda?) Check out the rest of our finds here. 6/ wired.trib.al/mEA7Hz5

We have a first look at Samsung's new Galaxy S20, S20+ and S20 Ultra phones. They have 5G and can shoot 8K video, and they sure are expensive.

They run between $1,000 - $1,400. #SamsungUnpacked wired.trib.al/nTOcpho
The Galaxy S20 Ultra has a large camera array on the back that includes a lens-sensor combo capable of capturing a 100x magnified image. 2/ wired.trib.al/1LJZhag #SamsungUnpacked #SamsungEvent
The S20 Ultra's main camera packs a whopping 108 megapixels, which means your high-resolution photos will take up more storage space but will also be overflowing with detail. wired.trib.al/1LJZhag #SamsungEvent #SamsungUnpacked 3/

The gender balance in science and tech is notoriously uneven, but that hasn't stopped women from slaying giants in their fields. Take Donna Strickland, who recently became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in physics in 55 years. 1/ #WomenInScience wired.trib.al/5BlFnXX
...or Fei-Fei Li, an artificial intelligence researcher who is working to create algorithms with more human sensitivity—and less bias. 2/ #WomenInScience wired.trib.al/5Y8gqmF
...or Cohl Furey, a mathematical physicist at the University of Cambridge, who’s finding the links between particle physics and the octonions, eight-dimensional numbers that could help us understand the force holding atoms together. 3/ #WomenInScience wired.trib.al/Gx0Vdzx

Civilization is going interplanetary. Our survival in the cosmos will depend on a diet that can nourish not only our bodies but our humanity too. 1/ wired.trib.al/DWYp7wb
Highly trained astronauts may be able to subsist on space gorp without losing their minds, but what about civilians with a one-way ticket to Mars? That’s where MIT’s Space Exploration Initiative comes in. 2/ wired.trib.al/DWYp7wb
The initiative's goal, inspired by Star Trek, is to bring together “artists, scientists, engineers, and designers to build a real-life Starfleet Academy.” They're getting ready for the day when humanity becomes a space-native civilization 3/ wired.trib.al/DWYp7wb

This is the deal:

Meghan was paying Bad Dad and her grandmother’s expenses.

Even though he doesn’t have much of a relationship with Toxic Jr or Hot Wheels, he would break them off some of Meghan’s money

1/
2/
Meghan gets engaged in 2017-2018. Hot Wheels and Toxic Jr. get greedy. They start coming after Meghan for money. Meghan pays them dust so they start running to the tabloids about her.
3/
Dad stays quiet because Meghan is still breaking him off some money.

Toxic Jr. rings up Meghan's lawyer for some dough, Meghan through her lawyers hit him up with the Mariah I Don't Know Him.

In 2012, Tim Cook announced Apple would make a Mac computer in the US.

But when Apple began making the $3000 computer in Texas, it struggled to find enough screws. By the time the computer was ready for mass production, Apple had ordered screws from China nyti.ms/2HBT2QK
Apple CEO Tim Cook: “The skill here is just incredible. In the US, you could have a meeting of tooling engineers and I’m not sure we could fill the room. In China, you could fill multiple football fields.” (h/t @scottlincicome)
"Caterpillar said costs tied to new US tariffs on foreign goods, including steel and aluminum, were just above $100 million over the 5 months of 2018 that they were in effect.

The company expects more than $200 million in tariff-related costs this year." wsj.com/articles/cater…

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

Shane is fangirling about meeting Rebekah and Kol, the Original vampires, and bragging about not being able to be compelled. Then Bex tells Kol to beat the location of the cure out of him. Lol. Imagine meeting your idols and they beat the shit out of you.
Back to this. "Truth or dare, Elena?"
"Dare." Damn that's brave.
"I dare you to tell Stefan the truth about Damon."
Sweetie, that's truth not dare, but I am here for this.
"Seriously?!" Caroline being there for Stefan again.
Bex is being really childish though
"Being with Damon makes me happy." HSHDFLK YES IT DOES.
"Makes you happy? Clowns make you happy Elena. Dig a little deeper."
Actually, clowns do quite the opposite of making me happy, but to each their own Rebekah. 🙈
