    Apple’s “toxic” fitness chief is retiring.

    Jay Blahnik, the creator behind the three-ring fitness tracking feature on Apple Watches, is stepping down after a 13-year tenure at the company, following allegations that he sexually harassed an employee and fostered a “toxic work environment.” A lawsuit claiming Blahnik bullied an employee is set to go to trial next year.

    Alongside the beautiful shots I’m seeing across social media, NASA has a photo album for yesterday’s launch that’s well worth checking out even if you tuned into the livestream. The album is hosted on Flickr, making America’s mission to the moon feel even more nostalgic.

    If you’ve visited the official Project Hail Mary website on mobile rather than desktop, you may have missed the free STL file that you can download to replicate this popular prop from the movie. You’ll have to acquire the Xenonite yourself though, obviously.
