I built a tool called Quick AR to help my students learn augmented reality concepts without the usual paywalls. Upload a target image + your media -> get a downloadable, web-ready AR experience. Simple and free, displays images, video or 3D models! Try here: thehelpful.com/quickar/

thehelpful.comQuick AR | The Instant WebAR CreatorTurn physical objects into digital triggers. A free, browser-based Augmented Reality creator. No apps, no subscriptions, no cloud.

Apple includes a decent selection of system fonts, but it barely scratches the surface of what’s out there. With this new, completely free tool, you can install your own typefaces natively on iOS & iPadOS directly from Safari.

Imposing pages for saddle-stitched zines and mockups is usually a clunky chore. So I built The Zine Machine: a free browser tool that turns regular PDFs into 2-up printer spreads ready for double-sided printing, folding, and stapling! 📖✂️

Auto-splits PDFs accidentally exported as spreads • Scales full-bleed art to fit desktop printer margins • Optional trim & spine crop marks • 100% private (runs client-side in your browser) Works with PDFs from InDesign, Affinity, Canva, etc: TheHelpful.com/zinemachine/

Apollo 11’s lunar lander remains, imaged from orbit by five different countries: NASA (USA) ISRO (India) KARI (South Korea) JAXA (Japan) CNSA (China) Independent confirmation from multiple space agencies leaves little room for doubt, if there ever was any.

I just finished making Spiro-Zen! Part retro web toy, part professional vector generator. 🌀 If you remember playing with that plastic cog wheels drawing toy, you're going to love this.

Best of all for my fellow designers: you can export the final shapes as flawlessly clean SVG files for Illustrator, Affinity or Canva. Yep, perfect editable Bézier curves for your own projects. Go make some mesmerizing art (and seriously, try the Zen Loop mode).

You can tweak the sliders to build complex geometric loops, randomise settings with a click, and animate them to just 'breathe' on your screen – drawing and then un-drawing over and over.

I've made a thing: the Banana Calculator. Measure and compare the length, area, volume or weight of something, measured in bananas... or double decker buses, Smoots, the Grand Canyon, Olympic swimming pools, cans of Coke, astronomical units, light-days, beard-seconds... bananacalculator.com

"We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads - but to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact." — Carl Sagan

The more we want it to be true, the more careful we have to be. No witness's say-so is good enough. People make mistakes.People play practical jokes.People stretch the truth for money or attention or fame.People occasionally misunderstand what they're seeing.People even see things that aren't there.

Gasoline cars are basically 50-liter rolling bombs we’ve all agreed to sit on. 🔥 Meanwhile, EVs are out here catching fewer fires than politicians telling the truth. 1,530 fires per 100k gas cars vs just 25 for EVs, almost zero for #LFP. The only thing burning are the myths. ⚡🚗 #EV #Safety #Firesafe

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

That Keith reposted

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

That Keith reposted

Not much in the constitution that is more blunt or straightforward than this. Compared to this the 2nd amendment is a cryptogram. Any court that finds that the President can end birthright citizenship is an illegitimate court.

This is pathological conduct. "How are you dealing with this tragedy and the loss of a friend?" "Look, I have a new toy. Did you see my new toy? It's the best toy. It's my toy."

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Republican claims Trump was an 'FBI informant' on Epstein have quickly fallen apart If Trump was an FBI informant on Epstein, he was the worst one of all time - because none of this stacks up... www.thecanary.co/trending/202...

Just one more thing, if it’s not too much trouble, sir. If you were an FBI informant on the Epstein case, and the Epstein case was a hoax perpetrated by the Dems, does that mean you didn’t figure out it was a hoax and you were outsmarted by Obama and Biden?

The 'Cartel' boat was maybe 57 non-stop *hours* away from US shores It wouldn't have had fuel for that even without 11 people. It wouldn't have had room for enough drugs to make it worth doing. This isn't opinion, it's basic reported facts based on the kind of boat and where this took place.

The US government is boasting that it murdered people without any attempt to act legally. Conveniently, the act also destroyed any evidence. Not only is that obviously deeply wrong in principle and in action, it begs the question: where and who is next?
