From Wired:
Everyone’s favorite garbage nerd, Meredith Danberg-Ficarelli, is here to answer the internet’s burning (well, maybe we’ll ease up on the burning) questions about waste. Why don’t we just throw all our garbage into a volcano? What does zero waste actually mean? Does recycling actually do anything? Meredith answers all these questions and much, much more!

A Red Dead Redemption 2 screenshot has won a virtual photography contest at the London Games Festival.
Joe Meizies took the prize with a landscape shot at virtual sundown, taking advantage of the game’s environmental lighting.
The submissions selected as finalists were displayed on pop-up stands in London’s Trafalgar Square during the festival.
Perhaps controversially, entrants were allowed to use post-production techniques after taking the screenshot. However, that could be argued as being as much of a skill as finding the image in-game (and adjusting game camera settings) in the first place.
The judges, drawn from both the games and photography industries, were looking for shots that were “evocative, aesthetically impressive and [where entrants had] proven technical awareness where using post-production tools.”
There was no limit on the age or platform of the game. Other subjects included The Last of Us, Horizon Forbidden West and Cyberpunk 2077.
The full set of finalist entries is available in a Google Drive folder.

From John DiMarco:
“Beam me up, Scotty!” This saying is commonly associated with Star Trek–but ironically, this exact phrase was never used in dialogue. However, there are many examples of very similar phrases in Star Trek (such as “beam us up”), which are documented in this video. Note: These examples are predominantly from TOS because, on later series, it would be more typical to hear a command along the lines of, “[number] to beam up.”
