At first glance, FlexiQuad looks like a small drone. Just one more buzzing thingy doing its flying thing. Then you see it crashing against a tree. A regular drone would crash and fall to the ground, but this one bounces back from the tree trunk and happily keeps flying along. The key to this trick is a hollow ring design crafted from flexible materials.

These tests, which usually involve solving simple puzzles or deciphering distorted text, help websites determine whether a visitor is human, thus helping prevent malicious bot attacks.

In the aftermath of the Democrats sweeping the midterms, the internet has anointed this moment as “Woke 3.0”: an extension of the terminology people have used to describe the political and cultural movement that took hold during the pandemic, particularly after George Floyd’s murder. New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently referenced this shift during a widely discussed interview in which she appeared to distance herself from that brand of progressivism.

College tuition just hit a surprising milestone. It’s not what you’d expect
Here’s something that might seem unbelievable: The cost of attending college has actually become cheaper in the past decade. Between the 2016-2017 and 2026-2027 academic years, the average tuition and fees declined 8.3% for in-state students at public four-year colleges and universities after adjusting for inflation, according to a new report from the College Board.
