Sorry, I had to. Anyway, please look at these pictures of how Nerds Gummy Clusters are made — and keep your eyes peeled for them this Halloween because they are scary good.

You know, when I wrote “A vote for Trump is a vote for measles,” I was not expecting the campaign to follow up by putting Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick on CNN to falsely claim vaccines cause autism, a thing he says he learned by spending a couple hours with RFK Jr. Vaccines do not cause autism, but childhood diseases cause death. Don’t get it twisted.

Impossibly small, incredibly convenient.
EcoFlow’s whole-home energy backup solution, PowerOcean, now works with LG’s Homey smart home platform to help manage your home’s energy use. According to a press release:
Users can automatically change their lights to green when the EcoFlow EV charger completes charging their vehicle. They can also start their washing machine when their EcoFlow solar panels generate excess energy or receive notifications when energy prices drop, making it cost-effective to charge their EcoFlow home battery.
PowerOcean is currently only available in Europe, but EcoFlow says it’s coming to the US next year.

Blue Origin leadership has viewed Donald Trump as positive for space. Most of Jeff Bezos’ focus is currently on Blue Origin. “Elon’s real superpower is getting government money,” Bezos has said, according to The Post.
Bezos claims spiking the Post’s Kamala Harris endorsement was a “principled decision.”

Did you know SpaceX’s “latest generation broadband satellites” use AMD chips? The chipmaker just bragged about that in Q3 2024 earnings, and it’s news to me.
AMD’s product page says: “AMD Versal Adaptive SoCs combine application processors, real-time processors, and vector processors with traditional FPGA resources such as programmable logic fabric, DSP resources, and embedded memory.”
don’t feed your fucking private medical records to a chatbot, Jesus Christ.
It was just a little whoopsie it got announced so close to the election, that’s all! Also he didn’t know about the Blue Origin meeting with Trump and besides that was not his fault. “I sighed when I found out,” he says. I guess people are still canceling their subs!

Nothing to see here, I’m sure. Jeff Bezos, owner of Blue Origin and The Post, just really strongly felt like there didn’t need to be a presidential endorsement this time around, no reason.
Okay, this one’s weird: Musk has posted a three-minute clip of a game, but the audio is someone telling him how “We were one second away from telling the rocket to abort” — and how the amazing ‘chopstick’ Super Heavy booster catch was close to being a scary crash.
While TechCrunch suggests he “inadvertently” broadcasted this, it’s not a broadcast. Someone clipped it this way.
