Because the oceans are probably the best thing that ever happened to earth (humanity ranks dead last), this is a beautiful visualization of the earth’s ocean currents according to NASA’s ECCO (Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean) model, developed using data from spacecraft, buoys, and other measurements.

Because the end can’t come soon enough, this is a video of Unitree’s G1 humanoid robot performing some kung-fu on the sidewalk (previously: the G1 doing some jumping around like House Of Pain). You can buy your own G1 for around $16,000, although no word from Unitree if they’ll offer
