Saw Samsung’s planning a Galaxy Fold 8 Wide for this summer. Looks pretty cool, but wait—didn’t Google basically do this w/ the first Pixel Fold? Makes me wonder if this is all about Apple. Are they scrambling becuz a foldable iPhone might actually happen?

Photos: they may not be the final designs.

Randomly asked: In which countries do the most adults smoke? Got me curious, so I looked it up.

Top 5:

  1. Nauru (Pacific island nation)
  2. Serbia
  3. Bulgaria
  4. Papua New Guinea
  5. Croatia.

Nauru’s rate is wild—never would’ve guessed a tiny Pacific island would lead. Geography doesn’t predict habits. Link

Gas dropped from $3.13 last year to $2.90 now. Thirteen cents. That’s what we’re celebrating? With all the talk about what Trump’s doing for prices, I expected more than pocket change. Not exactly the massive improvement promised. 😕

So turns out Jupiter’s been catfishing us for 50 years. Juno just revealed it’s smaller and flatter than we thought—only by a few miles, but enough that textbooks need updating. Wild how we’re still learning basic facts about our own solar system. Link

And the photo is amazing!
