    SDCC 2023: Norman Reedus fights zombies in France in the trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.

    AMC debuted a trailer for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon during the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday (via Deadline).

    In it, we see Dixon find out he’s to transport a young child across the dead-ridden wastes of France to save the world, which sounds awfully familiar. But whatever, I’m always down for more Norman Reedus.

    The r/place canvas expanded again early this morning, and protest messages are back.

    And the German flag apparently expanded to fill the new space within under three minutes. How did they do it? According to Redditor HellsOnWheels45, a Discord server with 50,000 users in active coordination.

    Also, protest messages have made a comeback on r/place after largely disappearing by Friday evening, with more “fuck spez’ messages near the center of the canvas.

    I’m a sucker for re-engineering bikes.

    And I’ll be keeping an eye on this newer YouTube channel, Works By Design, after a video showcasing an attempt at a more efficient bike, using CAD, a 3D object-scanning app, and pricey industrial tools. Perfect!

    The goal was to get more torque throughout a pedal stroke, and maybe ironically, the maker replaced an old Biopace chainring that purported to do just that.
