50 years ago, 'The Electric Company' used comedy to boost kids' reading skills
When The Electric Company debuted in October 1971, television hadn't seen anything quite like it. Psychedelic graphics, wildly creative animation, mod outfits, over-the-top characters and sketch comedy all functioned to serve the same goal: teaching kids to read. Brought to you by the Children's Television Workshop (CTW) — the same producers behind Sesame Street, which debuted in 1969 — The Electric Company won two Emmys, aired on more than 250 public TV stations and became a teaching tool in thousands of classrooms nationwide.

Bugatti's newest take on its $3 million Chiron Sport is a very pink custom supercar named 'Alice'
Redeem now Bugatti announced one of its most recent creations Friday: a very expensive, very pink Chiron Sport. The Chiron Sport is a $3.2 million supercar with 1,500 horsepower and an 8.0-liter W16 engine. Bugatti said this one shows the "near-infinite possibilities in the Bugatti customization journey." One thing I'll never understand about wallet-busting supercars — and perhaps this is because, to my disappointment, I am not the target demographic for wallet-busting supercars — is how they so often rely on the same old style choices.

Is There a Jewish Spider-Man in Into the Spider-Verse? An Investigation
Still from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. For most of the history of superhero fiction, religion was something of a taboo, especially when it came to Judaism. Superman, Batman, Captain America — these were all figures invented by Jews, but the characters never evinced any particular spiritual beliefs, and certainly weren’t depicted as being Jewish. Spider-Man was no exception. Co-created by the Jewish Stan Lee and the Gentile Steve Ditko in the early 1960s, we never saw the wonderful wall-crawler heading to any churches, synagogues, mosques, or temples.
