In a move that adds depth and meaning to in-flight dining, Turkish Airlines recently began serving bread made with wheat sourced from Taš Tepeler in Southeastern Anatolia, one of the first regions where humans cultivated grain and baked bread some 12,000 years ago. The initiative connects directly to the airline's sponsorship of archaeological excavations at Taš Tepeler, where findings indicate early agricultural communities transitioned from gathering wild seeds to establishing the foundations of farming.The small, warm loaves are served to business class passengers on overseas flights departing from Istanbul and come in cloth bags explaining their origin. In doing so, Turkish Airlines transforms a typically forgettable aspect of airline catering into a tangible marker of Turkey's role as a cradle of human civilization. The carrier's (re)introduction of 'the world's oldest bread' taps into an enduring consumer desire for products with genuine heritage and still-made-here appeal. The initiative goes beyond simply celebrating Anatolia's agricultural legacy through its support of the Taš Tepeler excavations, Turkish Airlines demonstrates how brands can both honor and nurture the places they call home.

If theres one tradition I can count on every fall, its the annual rewatch of Over the Garden Wall. The leaves start changing color, pumpkins begin to pop up everywhere, and I start thinking about venturing into the Unknown with Wirt and Greg. Something tells me Im not the only one. But this year is extra special today marks the 10-year anniversary since the miniseries debuted on Cartoon Network, and theres a new stop-motion short to celebrate it. The short, from Cartoon Network and Aardman Animations, features some of the shows original voice actors, including Elijah Wood as Wirt, Collin Dean as Greg and Melanie Lynskey as Beatrice. Over the Garden Wall creator Patrick McHale pitched the idea for the stop-motion special to directors Mikey Please and Dan Ojari earlier this year, Ojari told Fast Company. All of the figures are hand-carved wooden puppets, and filming took place in miniature sets (including a 10-by-10 square meter forest) that took two months to build. The only thing thats digital is the facial animation, Please told FC. The end result is really beautiful, and the perfect primer for your yearly return to the strange world of Over the Garden Wall. Its available to watch now on YouTube and X.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/entertainment/cartoon-network-just-released-an-over-the-garden-wall-stop-motion-short-174926664.html?src=rss

The FBI issued a statement on Saturday about deceptive videos circulating ahead of the election, saying its aware of two such videos falsely claiming to be from the FBI relating to election security. That includes one claiming the FBI had apprehended three linked groups committing ballot fraud, and one about Kamala Harris husband. Both depict false content, the FBI said. Disinformation including the spread of political deepfakes and other forms of misleading videos and imagery has been a major concern in the leadup to the US presidential election. In its statement posted on X, the FBI added: Election integrity is among our highest priorities, and the FBI is working closely with state and local law enforcement partners to respond to election threats and protect our communities as Americans exercise their right to vote. Attempts to deceive the public with false content about FBI operations undermines our democratic process and aims to erode trust in the electoral system.
