Another day, another raft of confusing new celebrity picks from Trump.

The latest of these are TV's Dr. Oz for to lead Medicare and Medicaid ("I'm impressed he didn't pick Dr. Pepper," says Daily Show host Desi Lydic in the clip above), and Linda McMahon – wife of infamous WWE boss Vince McMahon – for Education Secretary.

The Daily Show's response? A parody training video for these new recruits. "If you're watching this, you're a random television personality Donald Trump just appointed to run a huge federal agency," says correspondent Grace Kuhlenschmidt, in character as an instructor. "Right now you may be wondering: 'How did I get this job?' 'So I'm just in charge now?' And, 'Wait, what is my job again?' Well I can I assure you, the answer to all these questions is: I don't f***ing know."

You know you live in the space age when solar storms knock out farmers' GPS-reliant tractors and a camera in Earth's lofty orbit films a rocket launching through the atmosphere.

This camera attached to the International Space Station — the SpaceTV-1 instrument operated by the Earth-monitoring company Sen — captured the launch of SpaceX's colossal Starship rocket on Nov. 19, the nearly 400-foot-tall vehicle's sixth test flight. Such footage, showing the rocket's plume from 250 miles up, is rare, if not unprecedented.

"This is believed to be the first time ever a rocket launch has been filmed in real time from space," Getty Images posted online.

SEE ALSO: NASA scientist viewed first Voyager images. What he saw gave him chills.

In the video below (which plays after a short ad), you can see the white plume appearing on the top of the screen at center-right at eight seconds into the video. The plume becomes more apparent as the footage progresses closer. (The plume is also pointed out in the post from Sen, below.) Starship launched from SpaceX's Starbase, located in Boca Chica, Texas, and the body of water below the plume is the Gulf of Mexico.

Tweet may have been deleted

Some 65 minutes after liftoff, the Starship traveled around much of the world before intentionally splashing down in the Indian Ocean. The company's ultimate goal, however, is to catch the rocket in giant mechanical arms at its Starbase, allowing for a rapid reuse and launch of the rockets.

Each of these test flights, of which there will be many more in 2025, are part of the company's "rapid iterative development" of Starship, which, once it successfully launches cargo (and later crew), will become the largest and most powerful operational rocket on Earth, surpassing NASA's Space Launch System.

Already, Starship will play a significant role in the space agency's Artemis mission, its endeavor to establish a permanent presence on the moon. The large spacecraft, for example, will provide a human landing system, or HLS, for when NASA astronauts return to the moon later this decade during the Artemis III mission.

One of the major players in this category is, of course, Garmin's Forerunner range. Designed with runners and athletes in mind, this range suits anything from beginner runners to serious athletes.

If you fall somewhere in the middle, you'll love this latest Amazon discount on the Forerunner 165. As of Nov. 21, this great watch is on sale for $249.99, the lowest it has ever been priced at Amazon.

The Garmin running smartwatch combines some of the most useful advanced features, without being over complicated. It features a bright AMOLED touchscreen with traditional button controls. In smartwatch mode, you can enjoy up to 11 days of battery life and in GPS mode, 19 hours.

The watch also gives you personalized daily workout suggestions, Garmin Coach adaptive training plans, and over 25 built-in activity profiles, including running, cycling, and HIIT. You'll also have all the standard health metrics including a sleep report, training outlook, weather, and HRV status.

However, if you're looking for specific training metrics including training status and training readiness, you'll want to look at the higher-end watches in this range. But for a general smartwatch for tracking a range of sports and health stats, you can't go wrong with this Amazon deal.

This is one of Amazon's best Black Friday deals, so head there now to avoid missing out.

While we wait for Apple to launch its smart home display, Amazon is already delivering the goods.

On Wednesday, the company launched two new versions of its Echo Show smart display, one with a 15-inch, and the other with a 21-inch, display.

Just like the previous Echo Shows, these are smart, Alexa-enabled devices which can display your photos, the weather, a calendar, and the latest news.

Amazon's previous Echo Shows vary from bulky little standalone displays and displays perched upon an oval or circular base, to the flat 15-inch version that's meant to be mounted on a wall.

And while the 15-incher has been upgraded, the star of the show is the new, equally flat, 21-inch version.

It has a 21-inch display with a 1080p resolution, a built-in, 13-megapixel wide angle camera with auto-framing, and four speakers (two woofers and two tweeters). The new version of the 15-inch Echo Show has essentially the same specs, only with a smaller, 15.6-inch Full HD display. Both devices are equipped with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity.

As for why you'd want to have the Echo Show in your home, Amazon suggests using it as a smart kitchen TV, an audio and video entertainment hub, a smart home control hub, a picture frame, or a video call device.

These models of MacBook are incredibly similar, but there are differences. As you would guess, the 15-inch is the same but in more ways than just screen size, bigger. For sound, the 15-inch features a six-speaker sound system with force-canceling woofers, while the 13-inch comes with a four-speaker sound system.

Both 2024 models of the MacBook Air benefit from the new and improved M3 chip, which, according to extensive Mashable testing, means the M3 is around 20% faster than the previous generation M2 chip.

Both boast an impressive 18-hour battery life, perfect for working or studying away from home when you don't have access to a charging outlet. They also both include all the essential MacBook Air features, such as a backlit keyboard, Touch ID, Wi-Fi 6E, and Bluetooth 5.3 for faster wireless connections.

The 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air laptops are listed as limited-time deals at Amazon, so if you're interested, move fast.
