The Austrian is set to depart Red Bull after 20 years, having overseen six Teams' titles and eight Drivers' titles.

Lost & Found is a series of releases pulling from the archives of Obey Giant Art. This week, we are excited to announce the release of a limited number of Cold Chillin screenprints from 2008 in red or blue, which will be available on Thursday, December 11th at 10 AM PT in the Obey Giant Store. A limited number of screenprints will be available as matching numbered sets.

*Price Note: These highly sought-after limited edition prints are priced according to the increased value of the print over time.

The “Cold Chillin” print was created when I was working regularly on my series of faux 12” LP sleeves that were a tribute to album covers and the influence music has had on my aesthetics and philosophy. While working on a hip hop penguin for one of the album cover tribute pieces, I decided that the “Cold Chillin” penguin worked well enough as a two color image to make print editions in two color ways. I found it amusing to take the metaphor of “cold chillin” and present it very literally with the penguin on a floating bit of ice with a fan that doubles as a turntable literally and metaphorically blowing cool air on him. The frame is inspired by the hip hop/graffiti device of making tag stickers out of “Hello My Name Is” labels. Track suit and dookie rope chain are also tributes to the gear of hip hop pioneers like RUN DMC, LL Cool J, etc… if you speak the lingo you get it!

Pepel reported that Alyona Liskova was detained and released after police officers “had a conversation” with her, without pressing any charges.

At least six senior executives from major Indian state and private firms as well as drone and military-AI startups took part in the talks, Reuters said.

Brussels probes whether unpaid web and YouTube content – and rivals' lock-outs – amount to abuse of dominance

The European Commission is launching an antitrust probe at Google for allegedly using web and YouTube content to train its AI algorithms while putting competitors at a disadvantage.…

​Mensen die binnen een straal van 500 meter van een geitenhouderij wonen hebben 73 procent meer kans op een longonsteking, zo blijkt uit een rapport van de Gezondheidsraad. BBB-minister Femke Wiersma twijfelt of deze cijfers kloppen. Zij kijkt liever naar de cijfers van de Ongezondheidsraad.

Het is niet de eerste keer dat de Gezondheidsraad met een alarmerende conclusie komt. Wiersma is niet te spreken over de werkwijze van de raad. “De Gezondheidsraad noemt zichzelf een onafhankelijk orgaan, maar waarom werken ze juist ons dan continu tegen?”

“Als je kijkt naar de cijfers van de Ongezondheidsraad, kun je hele andere conclusies trekken”, vervolgt Wiersma. “Zij adviseren bijvoorbeeld juist meer gebruik van chemische bestrijdingsmiddelen in de landbouw. Ook pleiten zij voor een veel lossere norm van PFAS in het drinkwater. Dat zijn nou conclusies waar we als land mee vooruit kunnen.”

Femke Wiersma benadrukt dat de BBB nog steeds levert: “Wij zijn er juist voor de hard hoestende Nederlander.”

Teamwork makes the dream work

Webb confirmed the earliest supernova to date; this dying star exploded when the universe was only 730 million years old. Webb’s sharp infrared capability also allowed astronomers to locate the supernova’s very faint and distant host galaxy.

Webb supported a whole chain of observations of international telescopes which began when a rare and super bright flash of light, called a gamma-ray burst (GRB), occurred in mid-March.

The GRB was initially detected by the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Object Monitor (SVOM) mission, a joint Franco-Chinese telescope which launched in 2024.

Within an hour and a half, NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory pinpointed the location of the source of the GRB.

11 hours later, the Nordic Optical Telescope on the Canary Islands observed an infrared-light GRB afterglow, also giving the indication that the GRB might be from a very distant object. Light from very distant objects can be stretched as a result of the universe’s expansion, from visible light to the infrared.

Four hours after that, the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile gave an estimate that the object existed 730 million years after the big bang. Only a handful of gamma-ray bursts in the last 50 years have been extremely distant, so this was a rare occurrence.

Not much is known about the first billion years after the big bang, so being able to analyze this ancient supernova gives astronomers some more insight. Surprisingly, this one is very similar to modern, nearby supernovae. Why? More data is needed to figure that out.

To the right of this is a large box, which zooms in on an area at top right. Within the box is a faint red dot at the center, with the label GRB 250314A.

In Nederland vinden vooral „anti-institutionele” complottheorieën over bijvoorbeeld klimaatverandering een vruchtbare bodem. Dit past volgens experts in het „toegenomen wantrouwen van burgers in de overheid”.

Het wereldberoemde stripboekenfestival van Angoulême is afgelast na een massaal gesteunde girlcott van stripboekenschrijfsters en collega’s uit de sector. „Wij houden van het festival, maar we willen kunnen werken in correcte omstandigheden.”
