Avi Loeb on 3I/Atlas: comet or alien spacecraft?

Open/download audio

It’s the third interstellar object ever discovered. Most astronomers dismiss it as a comet. Harvard’s Avi Loeb says too many things don’t line up. If it’s a comet, it’s moving unusually fast. Its tail looks abnormal. Its path seems too precise to be random. In this episode, he explains why he thinks it’s more than rock and ice. Could 3I/Atlas actually be alien technology?

Fake raids, real scams: Those viral “deportation at Walmart” TikToks? Total scam. Scammers are using phoney retail sob stories to phish your data with bogus surveys and sketchy “free gift” links. No ICE, just identity theft. Congrats, money just got deported from your bank account.

0%

That’s the critics’ score for Ice Cube’s War of the Worlds remake. When critics and audiences agree, you know it’s … something. This Prime Video disaster-piece did the impossible though. People are actually watching it.

🧀 Cottage cheese is hot: Cottage cheese is having a weird moment. Albertsons says sales are booming thanks to TikTok recipes and a renewed obsession with protein. Sales surged by 18% in a year, hitting $1.75 billion last year. Why? Cottage cheese ice cream, toast, even pancakes. Next up: cottage cheese cold brew. You know it’s coming.

That’s how many petroleum-based color dyes ice cream makers are ditching by 2028. Red 3, Blue 1, Yellow 5, basically the Crayola rejects of the dessert world, are being swapped for natural pigments. Your mint chip might soon look like actual mint. The average American downs 4 gallons of ice cream a year. Yea, we’re all just toddlers with credit cards and freezers.

🥶 Antarctica said, “Not today”: This kid has guts. A teenage solo pilot TikToker trying to fly to all seven continents landed in Antarctica without telling anyone. Authorities in Chile were like, “That’s illegal,” detained him for filing a fake flight plan and now, he’s ice-o-lated.

Apple's top app

Open/download audio

A controversial new app just shot to #1 on the Apple charts. Not for entertainment, but for alerting users to ICE activity.

📍 There’s an app for that: ICEBlock, a map app for spotting ICE agents, hit #1 on the App Store after CNN reported about it and then U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on X called CNN’s report an “obstruction of justice.” The app lets people pin sightings and get alerts nearby. No word from Apple if they’re gonna pull it.

Ring doorbell app used to track ICE agents

Amazon’s Neighbors app was built to fight porch pirates. In Los Angeles, people are using it to warn each other about immigration raids.

40%

That’s how much cooling costs can drop with an ice battery. Yes, actual ice. Buildings like Eleven Madison in NYC are freezing water at night, then using that ice to chill the place by day. It’s like time-shifting your AC to happy hour prices, potentially lowering cooling costs by up to 40%. Peak grid demand? Never heard of her.

🗻 Double rescue on Mount Fuji: A 27-year-old had to be saved twice in just four days trying to scale the mountain. Yep, twice. First, he lost his crampons (those spiky things for walking on ice) and couldn’t climb down. Rescuers got him back to the parking lot. There, he realized he did not have his phone. So he hiked back up to find his phone and got altitude sickness. Maybe just take the L next time, dude.

$100

That’s how much people are allegedly paying for six ice cubes from Greenland. Greenland entrepreneurs are harvesting 100,000-year-old glacial ice (paywall link) and shipping it to Dubai, where it’s sold in cocktails like the $218 Scotch-on-ice at Nahaté. Talk about an ICE detention center.
