Here’s a clear shot from the daily Ice Machine, with crystal blue linkage of stories that will refresh you before you start your day (on this inaugural Chicago bank holiday):
- Light posting day today. Please feel free to leave red and black streamers on the site until Janitorial Services arrives.
- The new SI cover combines two of our unnatural passions: Rays and pencils. Please enjoy.
- Leon Theremin was a badass in a time where badasses got crushed.
- This one’s pretty much J-No fanservice. No apologies here.
- We needed this one. We almost fell down this rabbit hole earlier this week.
- Please watch this brief video. No sound necessary:
Fairly dull, right? Just a bit of Pong-esque on YouTube, right? What if we told you that all of this happened on a space the size of a grain of rice and that little robotic figure is six times smaller than an amoeba? What if we then told you it’s part of a Nanosoccer tournament?
You may now breathe again. Carry on.
And the Question of the Day: Let’s get this party started in here. Rose or Beasley? The thought of Simeon’s finest playing in the city makes us giddy, but Beasley’s not exactly a slouch. Hinrich’s only the answer if the question involves increasing turnovers or bowlcuts, but Gooden’s only there because who doesn’t love Dorie?
