Your daily NFL trivia game, Friday edition

Think you can figure out what NFL player we’re talking about? You’ll get five clues to figure him out.

We’re back for another day of the SB Nation in-5 daily trivia game, and we’re returning to our system of a new article each day for the game.

We tried using a single article for the game, updated with the latest game each day, but it was creating a bit of an unwieldy experience in the comments. So, we’ll have the current day’s game plus the previous three days in each...

This famous designer changed the way cities think about public lighting

Poul Henningsen hated bright lights and glare. So he designed better lights that today are in cities worldwide.

Danish designer Poul Henningsen’s collaboration with Copenhagen-based heritage brand Louis Poulsen produced some of the most recognizable icons of 20th-century modernism. The Artichoke pendant and PH table lamp are part of the permanent collection at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art, while Henningsen’s other designs make frequent appearances in the stylish homes featured...

7 miles off the Oregon Coast, scientists are about to start harnessing power from the ocean’s waves

PacWave handled all the permitting and construction, so wave energy developers can test their tech in the ocean.

One of the biggest challenges with renewable energy is its inconsistency: clouds might block the sun one day, or winds die down. But there are always waves in the ocean—even on calm days, and even at night. Harvesting wave power, though, has been historically difficult. Now, a project off the coast of Oregon hopes to change that, by providing a testing ground for wave energy to...

Bluesky has a growing problem: fake accounts

Is that really Ben Stiller? Or Mark Hamill? Bluesky has more than 21 million members now—but it lacks a robust verification system.

On Wednesday afternoon, billionaire activist investor Bill Ackman appeared to post on Bluesky a plan to destroy the burgeoning social media platform. Though the poster turned out to be an impostor, whoever it was so thoroughly captured the long-winded Ackman’s rhetorical style on X, they managed to briefly convince many people—including some high-profile...

Can Democrats win back podcasting? We asked 6 popular show hosts to weigh in

It seems opinions are mixed on whether Democrats can—or should—build a level of influence in the podcast space to rival Trump’s.

Plenty of questions remain around Democrats’ election loss. What seems beyond dispute, however, is that the Republican candidate got a big boost from appearing on—and being otherwise supported by—a loose network of simpatico podcasters.

How Sol de Janeiro became the crown jewel of Sephora

The bodycare line Sol de Janeiro launched in 2015. Today, it’s the top-selling brand at Sephora.

Historically, perfume ads have followed the same plot: the heroine cinematically spritzes herself with a scent, immediately rendering her irresistible to everyone she encounters. But this formula may no longer be working. For Gen Z, the point of perfume isn’t to make others swoon with desire. Spraying yourself with fragrance is a form of self-care, an opportunity to boost your mood. At least...

How ‘Flow’ turned a $4 million budget into an animated work of art

The filmmakers used open-source software to create an unexpectedly fresh animation style.

Nearly every still of the animated film Flow, directed by Latvian filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis, feels like an art piece that could stand on its own. The movie—which centers around a group of animals surviving in a post-apocalyptic, human-less world—combines the edge-of-your-seat feeling of a survival video game with the painterly brushstrokes of an Impressionist artist. And, somehow, it manages to be...

Astronomers have been able to look at the sun and a handful of other stars in the Milky Way up close, thanks to modern advances in telescopes.

But getting a detailed view of a star outside the galaxy has eluded top scientists in the field, until now. 

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer, astronomers have captured the first close-up picture of an extragalactic star. The image showcases WOH G64, a star some 160,000 light-years away from Earth in...
