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

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

📺 Charlie Rose May 23, 2017
Caroline Hyde of Bloomberg TV and Ray Kelly, the former New York City police commissioner, discuss the investigation of the deadly suicide bombing at Manchester Arena on Monday. Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, discusses former CIA Director John Brennan's testimony in the Russia probe. James Beard award winner Stephen Starr, the owner of more than 30 restaurants across four states and two countries.
📺 Charlie Rose May 19, 2017
Ian Bremmer, the president of the Eurasia Group, and Michael Hanna, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation, on Donald Trump's first foreign trip of his presidency. A discussion of Robert Mueller's special counsel appointment with John Carlin, the former assistant Attorney General for national security and Chief of Staff to Robert Mueller. Gabe Sherman and Jim Rutenberg reflect on the legacy of the late media titan Roger Ailes, known for launching Fox News in 1996. Adam Lindemann, an art collector and gallery owner who held the previous auction record for a Jean Michel Basquiat painting with his sale of Untitled (Devil) for $57.3 million last year.
I haven’t been following the deeper analysis of Trump’s Middle East trip, but Ian Bremmer’s pre-analysis here which I’ll synopsize as Trump is taking a cheese-puff trip to areas where he’s likely to be loved, adored, and appreciated (surprise!!) and which the US won’t really benefit from in the coming decades seems sadly correct. I suppose it’s better for him to focus on his vanity rather than destroying value.
I could have appreciated another 20 minutes on Ailes and analysis on his ongoing influence, but then again, it’s just as well to relegate him to the dustbin of history.

📺 Gerrymandering: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) | YouTube
Lawmakers often reshape voting districts to shift the balance of political power. That's unfair to voters, even those of us with questionable judgment.
Gerrymandering has become a very precise science, and interestingly it’s one of the few remaining types of science in which the republican party currently believes.

📺 Dialysis: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
For-profit dialysis companies often maximize their profits at the expense of their patients. John Oliver explores why a medical clinic is nothing like a Taco Bell.
The lack of humanity showed by these corporations is simply horrific. Certainly a market failure which is causing some painful externalities. We need something more significant to fix the inequities that are happening here.
Also, what a terrifically hilarious episode!
