📺 Assembling the World’s Smallest (old) 8mm Rubik’s Cube | YouTube

Watched Assembling the World's Smallest (old) 8mm Rubik's Cube by Tony Fisher from YouTube
Assembling the World's Smallest (old) 8mm Rubik's Cube<br /> This puzzle was 3D printed at Shapeways. The CAD work was done by Evgeniy Grigoriev. It was previously the smallest Rubik's Cube in the world though it was broken by Callum's 6mm cube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pnm8LO7JWs ) and more recently Evgeniy's 5.7mm cube. We have experimented with 5, 4 and 3mm cubes but so far the technology available to us isn't good enough.

Watched 11x11 Barrel from YouTube
A real 100% fully functional 11x11 barrel that also happens to be the largest barrel in the world! Bringing this out a little early to avoid it coming out on April fools day. I bet some people would think it was a hoax like Tony Fishers 9x9

Friday on the NewsHour, gunmen in Egypt attack a Christian group, killing at least 28. Also: An exclusive interview with Aya Hijazi, what President Trump accomplished on a trip abroad, Shields and Brooks analyze the week's news, a humorous take on getting out of your bubble, being a veteran of a war that never ends and more.
I liked the W. Kamau Bell interview. They’re doing some great marketing for him, his show, and his new book. I’m putting his show (and back episodes from season 1) into my queue.

The snippet on Mr. Rogers at the end was very moving and useful. I kind of wish there were rerun episodes of his show still on television.

👓 Why Do Coptic Christians Keep Getting Attacked? | The Atlantic

Read Why Do Coptic Christians Keep Getting Attacked? by H.A. Helyer (The Atlantic)
Egypt’s preexisting climate of pro-Islamist sectarianism is an important, and sometimes overlooked, reason.
If we replace Egypt with America, ISIS with the KKK or alt-right, and Copt Christians with African Americans are the optics really that much different?
