SpaceX was less than 10 people back then. We didn’t even have office furniture.

On Goodfellas, Robert De Niro insisted that all the money he handled on set be real. Whenever he was on camera, he carried $5,000 in real cash in his pocket. As he put it, “That’s kind of a classic mob guy thing. They carry cash rolled up instead of in a wallet.” Property master Robert Griffon Jr. had to withdraw thousands from his own bank account to replace the prop money, so all the $20s and $50s De Niro passes around in the film are real. The problem was that the production had also hired real mobsters as extras, so whenever real money was used, after Scorsese yelled “cut”, the whole crew had to freeze while every single bill was counted.

Jony Ive: Using touchscreens for basic car controls is a 'dumb design' that endangers lives. "People are dying because of dumb design." "Multi-touch shouldn't be in a car. It requires by definition that you're looking at a display." When the man who popularized the touchscreen admits putting an iPad in your dashboard is a deadly mistake, automakers must listen. I grew up in cars with analog switches, and I miss them. You could operate the radio or the climate control by pure muscle memory while keeping your eyes on the road. Now, the data backs up that everyday frustration. A University of Washington study proves touchscreens cause lane drifting. Starting in 2026, Euro NCAP will actually strip 5-star safety ratings from cars that refuse to use physical buttons for basic controls. We sacrificed safe, intuitive hardware for flat screens. It is time to bring the buttons back. Source: Cleo Abram

Rain or Shine Centennial High School in Franklin, TN held graduation on the football field in heavy pouring rain, soaking students and families. Despite the forecast, no indoor backup was used. Diplomas stayed dry in plastic, but the chaotic ceremony drew frustration and backlash from parents.

Ledger did this in every scene. Every actor who shared a frame with him in this film describes the same thing. The interrogation room. Bale kept telling Ledger he didn't need to actually hit him. "It's going to look just as good if I don't." Ledger's answer: "Go on. Go on. Go on." Slammed himself into tiled walls hard enough to crack and dent them. Bale called the commitment "total." He refused to rehearse the full Joker. No voice, no laugh, no mannerisms until the camera rolled. Every scene partner walked into take one completely blind. The money throw at Chin Han was improvised. The hospital explosion was rehearsed a dozen times with Nolan until the timing looked accidental. The hostage video was shot by Ledger alone, handheld, no crew. Nolan used the footage because a professional setup couldn't replicate it. Ledger mapped every scene to a different technique. Improvisation when genuine shock mattered. Choreography when safety required precision. Solo footage when authenticity required zero audience. The most chaotic villain performance in superhero film history was built on surgical scene-by-scene preparation. The film made $1 billion. He won a posthumous Oscar, only the second actor in history to do so. He died six months before it opened. He was 28.

In The Dark Knight (2008), Heath Ledger improvised the throw where The Joker throws a stack of money at Lau during this scene. Actor Chin Han recalled, “It hit me square in the head... it goes like ‘boom.’” “And then I was dazed for a second. And that was the first take..”

The price of lumber is outrageous now. Back in 2020 I was getting a 4x8 sheet of 1/2 plywood for around $12/sheet. Went to Lowe’s today & it’s now $46. How are people affording to build homes, or remodel their existing homes? I’m not sure how this is sustainable.

This was 2023. Rick Santelli said he sees rates topping at 13-14% and everyone laughed at him. Are they still laughing? I’m not.

SpaceX is such a bad ass company. In their IPO filing, they wrote this: • The first private company to develop and launch a liquid-fuel rocket to reach orbit (2008) • The first private company to successfully dock a private spacecraft with the International Space Station (2012) • The first to successfully propulsively land (2015) and refly orbital-class rocket boosters (2017) • The first to begin deploying a large-scale LEO broadband satellite constellation (2019); • The first private company to transport astronauts to orbit, returning America's ability to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station (2020) • The first to manufacture consumer-grade phased-array user terminals at scale (2022); The first to deploy a large-scale LEO satellite-to-mobile constellation (2025) • The first to build a gigawatt-scale Al training cluster and largest coherent supercomputer (2026) • The first gigawatt-scale Megapack battery installation (2026); and • The only company capable of building orbital AI compute at scale. BOOM.

About $1.5 million was spent securing the music rights for Goodfellas, and every dollar of it paid off. When Goodfellas hit theaters, what truly separated it from other crime films wasn’t just the performances or the story — it was the music. Martin Scorsese reportedly spent around $1.5 million securing music rights, a massive gamble at the time, but it became one of the film’s greatest strengths. Rather than relying on a traditional score, Scorsese built the movie around real songs from the eras it moves through. As Henry Hill climbs deeper into the mob world, the soundtrack evolves with him — shifting from upbeat doo-wop and girl groups of the 1950s into darker rock tracks of the ’70s and ’80s as his life begins to unravel. Songs from artists like The Rolling Stones, Cream, and Derek and the Dominos don’t just sit in the background — they shape the scenes themselves. One of the best examples is the famous “Layla” piano outro sequence. As Layla plays over the discovery of bodies after the Lufthansa heist, there’s barely any dialogue, yet the music communicates everything: the paranoia, the fallout, and the deadly consequences of greed. Then there’s the legendary Copacabana tracking shot, where Henry leads Karen through the back entrance of the club. The smooth, dreamlike music makes the entire moment feel seductive and glamorous, pulling the audience directly into Henry’s world. That’s why the $1.5 million wasn’t just an extravagant expense — it was part of the storytelling itself. The soundtrack acts almost like a narrator, marking shifts in time, mood, and character without ever needing exposition. A lot of films have great soundtracks, but Goodfellas uses music with precision. Every song feels purposeful rather than simply chosen. Decades later, it remains one of the clearest examples of how the right soundtrack can elevate a film from great to unforgettable.

Director Christopher Nolan brought 60 Minutes to Fotokem in Burbank, California, to watch their artists assemble and color correct final release prints of “The Odyssey.” It's the only motion picture film lab in the world that still produces 70 millimeter prints. Nolan told Scott Pelley, “It’s a really marvelous thing to see… in this age of digitization, AI, all the rest, this is a human process. An analog process.”

From 1908-1940, Sears sold over 70,000 mail-order homes for around $938, shipped by rail for easy assembly by owners or local builders. $938 in 1910 is equivalent in purchasing power to approximately $32,604 today. What would that get you now?

NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why people are starting to hate Disney World So I’m 51 now, and one of the things I remember vividly from my childhood is watching big sporting events like the Super Bowl or the World Series. At the end of the game, the winning players would be celebrating, getting interviewed, and they’d always be asked the same question: What are you going to do next? And the answer was almost always the same: I’m going to Disney World. But fast forward 30 years, and you don’t hear that anymore. In fact, the conversation has shifted in the opposite direction. Today, YouTube and social media are filled with people criticizing Disney’s parks, whether in California or Florida. When I was a kid, going to a Disney park was a rite of passage. My parents once drove us across six states just so we could spend spring break there. Now, for many families, the parks feel like an afterthought. And it turns out this shift isn’t an accident. It’s the result of deliberate strategy, changing economics, and some unusual decisions inside the Disney corporation. This is the story behind the rise and fall of Disney World.
