If you’re feeling particularly spiteful this Valentine’s Day, HawkWatch International has got you covered. For as little as a measly five bucks, the charity will feed their “Raptor Ambassadors” a rodent named after your ex or other object of hatred. And for you lovebirds out there, the organization also has a gift…

Tubi has tons of movies, but it also has a robust TV selection, particularly in the realms of curiously specific reality shows. But if sci-fi and horror series are what you seek, the free, ad-supported streamer is a great go-to; in addition to an entire channel dedicated to classic Doctor Who, it has plenty of other…

Buying all the 194 paid apps available for Apple’s Vision Pro will only set you back $1,100.08, according to app intelligence firm Appfigures. Considering you just coughed up $3,500 to buy the company’s newest headset, that’s kind of a bargain.

iMessage, once considered an exclusive messaging service for Apple users, was just deemed too lame to regulate by EU officials. The European Commission said it would not regulate iMessage as a “gatekeeper service” on Tuesday, along with Microsoft’s Bing and Edge, which allegedly have a similar level of importance. Oof.

It’s safe to say that most people walking out of The Rise of Skywalker for the first time were left with a lot of questions, but one at the forefront of our minds back in 2019, and frankly, still even now, is perhaps the darkest ever raised by Star Wars: when, exactly, did Palpatine fuck? We’re just glad to know that I…

23andMe is in a death spiral. Almost everyone who wants a DNA test already bought one, a nightmare data breach ruined the company’s reputation, and 23andMe’s stock is so close to worthless it might get kicked off the Nasdaq. CEO Anne Wojcicki is on a crisis tour, promising investors the company isn’t going out of…

Typically, the Perseverance rover is looking down, scouring the Martian terrain for rocks that may reveal aspects of the planet’s ancient past. But over the last several weeks, the intrepid robot looked up and caught two remarkable views: solar eclipses on the Red Planet, as the moons Phobos and Deimos passed in front…

The search for Bigfoot is one of those wild concepts that gets tossed around and discussed but never taken quite seriously. Surely Bigfoot, a giant, humanoid creature called a Sasquatch, doesn’t exist. Surely the idea is just silly. But, if he did, he’d come from somewhere. He’d have a family. And maybe that family is…

Thousands of Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash drivers and delivery workers will go on strike across the United States on Wednesday, Feb. 14. The drivers seek fair wages, safety protections, and more job security from ridesharing and delivery apps.

Elmo celebrated his birthday earlier this month. The beloved children’s entertainer made his first appearance on Sesame Street in 1980, so it seems like a fair guess that he would have turned at least 44 years old this year. By any normal measure, Elmo should be a middle-aged man, but lurking in the details of his…

An unspecified defect in early model Starlink satellites has prompted SpaceX to preemptively deorbit the units before they potentially fail and become hazards in low Earth orbit. While the company remains confident that the deorbiting of these problematic units will prevent any issues, this incident underscores the…

The Bad Batch has had to, for obvious reasons, spend a lot of time revolving around the characters of its masculine stars—Omega aside, the series must look beyond the rank and file of the former Clone Army for a feminine perspective. But as the third and final season looms, it’s setting the stage to center three very…

Once upon a time, the heroes of the DC and Marvel universes teaming up wasn’t too uncommon a thing. From Spider-Man and Superman to Batman and Devil, or to the wild world of ‘90s comics in the Amalgam universe—where DC and Marvel heroes literally got mashed together—the two “rivals” of the comics industry have a long…

Get a look at Kung Fu Panda’s return in a new clip. Oscar Isaac still has hope for Moon Knight season 2. Ben Mendelsohn talks Andor and the chances of a return to his Rogue One character. Plus, it’s Beth vs. Tammy in a new clip from the Rick and Morty anime. Spoilers, away!

After causing a stir by mysteriously grounding its new Airbus A321neo planes on Monday, United Airlines wants people to know the decision has nothing to do with safety and isn’t even that exciting. Rather, it has to do with the aircrafts’ “No Smoking” signs, which are required by a 1990 law to be operated by the…

Madame Web is a two-hour trailer for the movie you think you’re watching, but actually aren’t. If that’s confusing, welcome to the world of Madame Web, where everyone—the characters, the actors, the audience, and everyone in between—is confused about basically everything, all of the time. It’s a film that sets…

The creators behind the popular Flipper Zero multi-tool device have teamed up with computing renegade Raspberry Pi to create a video game integration that will turn your Flipper into a low-key game controller.

The ability to remember the past—to learn from our mistakes—is perhaps one of humanity’s greatest survival advantages. But as crucial as memory is to our daily lives, it’s far from perfect.

The Flipper Zero is having a bit of a moment: it’s by no means a new device, but it is now grabbing more headlines than ever, thanks to its ability to brick iPhones, potentially get you into cars, and plenty more.

I had just 30 minutes to test out Apple’s $3,500 Vision Pro headset. Others who received a review unit from Apple or purchased one themselves have spent a week or more with it by this point. We’ve seen a lot of interesting use cases for the headset and an equal number of people hawking dumb and potentially dangerous…

Welcome back to the Connected States, the project that involves me living in a van for a year, driving around and telling stories. After going live last week I was absolutely overwhelmed by the positive response. I received so many tips, well-wishes, and offers of help that I haven’t been able to respond to them all…

Isabela Merced’s resume is already stacked, but the star of underrated gem Dora the Explorer and The Lost City of Gold is just getting started. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the young actress—who’s soon to enter Sony’s live-action Marvel universe as Anya Corazon (whose spider-sona is Araña) in Madame Web

Italian horror master Lucio Fulci is best known for his gruesome Gates of Hell trilogy—especially The Beyond—and the immortal Zombi 2, but his career also contained excellently off-kilter giallo movies, including Don’t Torture a Duckling and The New York Ripper. The Psychic, coming soon to Shudder, has fewer of those…

Amazon allegedly tricked users into buying more expensive products through the use of its “Buy Box,” according to a class action lawsuit filed last week. The Buy Box, which features a “Buy Now” and “Add to Cart” button next to eligible items, funnels users into terrible deals through the ease of one-click shopping…
