| Fortnite star Ninja is getting his own 12-hour New Years Eve broadcast in Times Square Posted: 26 Oct 2018 03:52 PM PDT  Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, the Twitch streamer and Fortnite star who's profile only continues to increase, announced today that he and his sponsorship partner Red Bull will air a New Years Eve live stream from New York's Times Square. The event, which will run from 7PM ET to 7AM ET the following day and stream on Ninja's personal Twitch channel, will feature him playing Fortnite with a series of notable guests as he rings in the new year for various time zones around the world. The news was announced today at TwitchCon, the streaming platform's annual community convention for streamers and gaming personalities. "When I started in gaming, I never thought that something like this would be possible. NYE has always been fun for gamers because... |
| That Trump tank meme on Cesar Sayoc’s van was made as a joke, creator says Posted: 26 Oct 2018 03:19 PM PDT  Today, the FBI arrested Cesar Sayoc, a man from Florida who is suspected of having mailed bombs to a number of prominent critics of President Donald Trump, including Democratic politicians and former officials. Footage from the site of the arrest — an auto parts store, according to The Guardian — shows Sayoc's van under a tarp. As a news helicopter followed the covered vehicle, the wind blew the tarp off, revealing windows packed with decals of Donald Trump and other Republican figures. Soon thereafter, several Twitter users tweeted photos of what appeared to be close-ups of the same van, taken prior to Sayoc's arrest. Many of the decals were memes that had circulated in right-wing social media spaces. The most recognizable of them: an... |
| Suspiria is an ambitious remix of a horror classic Posted: 26 Oct 2018 03:01 PM PDT  Remaking horror classics is a tried-and-true tradition, but it's still a little mystifying why anyone felt 1977's Suspiria was a good candidate. Dario Argento's giallo classic, about a dancer training in a school that is secretly home to a coven of witches, isn't influential for its setting and premise, so much as for its bold visual style, its mood, and the hypnotic score by prog-rock band Goblin. Many of the elements that made the original Suspiria unforgettable were the precise things any remake would necessarily lose. Director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name) seems to acknowledge that fact in his remake, which arrives in theaters on October 26th. Set in 1977, the year of the original film's release, it's less a traditional... |
| Volcanologists just ranked the most threatening volcanoes in the United States Posted: 26 Oct 2018 02:48 PM PDT  Researchers just released an update to the definitive list of most threatening volcanoes in the United States. It's the first update for the volcano rankings, which were originally published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in 2005. "There are a lot of volcanoes in the US, and they erupt more frequently than most people know," says Angie Diefenbach, a geologist at the USGS and a co-author of the report. "We have a lot of volcanoes and there aren't limitless resources. It helps to prioritize where we're going to be working." The United States has 161 active volcanoes, and it has experienced 120 volcanic eruptions since 1980. The highest priorities for geologists like Diefenbach are the 18 volcanoes ranked as very high... |
| Snapchat will debut a longform sci-fi thriller story told in a series of texts Posted: 26 Oct 2018 02:37 PM PDT  Hooked, an app that makes "chat fiction" on mobile, is making its first longform story on Snapchat. It's a hybrid of science fiction, mystery, and thriller called "Dark Matter" that takes place in Silicon Valley, as reported by Variety. In "Dark Matter," a South Asian-American college student at Stanford investigates her twin sister's mysterious death, while discovering that she has the ability to interact with dark matter. There are five installments to the story, and they'll be released daily starting today and ending on October 30th. The stories will be translated into Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Norwegian. Snap and Hooked will share ad revenue from the series, Variety reports. |
| 2018 saw record growth in LGBTQ roles on television Posted: 26 Oct 2018 02:16 PM PDT  2018 has been a bad year for the LGBTQ community in politics, but it's been a record-breaking year in media, according to GLAAD's annual TV diversity report. LGBTQ representation on television hit a record high this year, with 8.8 percent out of 857 series regulars on broadcast TV openly identified as on the gay, trans, or queer spectrum. And for the first time, LGBTQ people of color outnumbered white LGBTQ characters on-screen by 50 to 49 percent. GLAAD counted 26 trans characters on TV, which is nine more than last year. A significant percentage of that progress was driven by Ryan Murphy's new series Pose on FX, which has five new trans characters. For the first time in three years, the number of bisexual+ men rose, clocking in at 33,... |
| Apple reportedly announcing iPad Pro with USB-C, MacBook Air successor, and new Mac Mini next week Posted: 26 Oct 2018 01:49 PM PDT  Apple plans to announce updated iPad Pros with USB-C ports, a 13-inch laptop meant to replace the MacBook Air, and long-awaited updates to the Mac Mini during its event Tuesday morning, according to Bloomberg. Just about all of this has been rumored before, but Bloomberg's Mark Gurman is usually the definitive name when it comes to nailing exactly what we'll see on event day, and with a few days to go, we now have those answers. Gurman confirms rumors that the iPad Pro — seemingly both sizes of it — will be getting a redesign, giving it a nearly edge-to-edge display, Face ID, and a USB-C port. That'll be a huge deal, as it'll mark the first time that Apple has traded out its exclusive Lightning port in favor of the increasingly universal... |
| MIT Media Lab will let the internet control a human’s actions for one Halloween evening Posted: 26 Oct 2018 01:19 PM PDT  The MIT Lab has an excitingly creepy way for you to celebrate Halloween, if parties or candy aren't your speed. Next week, you'll be able to work with other internet users to control one person's actions for an evening, as spotted by Business Insider. Researchers at the lab made a program that lets a group of users control a human being while hearing and seeing everything the person does as if they were inside the person's mind. The human is an actor hired by MIT Media Lab. The project is called BeeMe, and it's billed as a web-based social experiment. Starting on Halloween at 11PM ET, people can log onto the BeeMe website and start suggesting and then voting on what action the actor should take next, like opening a door or entering a... |
| Lucasfilm canceling its Boba Fett film could be good news for Star Wars’ future Posted: 26 Oct 2018 01:10 PM PDT  Lucasfilm's standalone Boba Fett movie has apparently been Sarlacced. Rumors of the film's development broke right as Solo: A Star Wars Story was hitting theaters, but last night, a reporter for Sirius XM radio said Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy told him the film was "100% dead," and that they're "100% focusing on The Mandalorian," a new show destined for Disney's streaming service. The film's halt can be seen as the end of the studio's standalone film experiment, but can a film that was never officially announced actually be considered dead? When word of the film first spread, a new standalone Star Wars film looked like a no-brainer. Solo was projected for a big box office haul prior to its premiere, and the film seemed primed as the... |
| California strikes deal with FCC to delay state net neutrality law Posted: 26 Oct 2018 12:19 PM PDT  California has agreed to delay the enforcement of its "gold standard" net neutrality bill, according to a statement from the law's sponsor Sen. Scott Wiener. The net neutrality rules were set to go into effect next year, but California officials have agreed to wait until the courts have resolved any pending litigation over the Federal Communications Commission's roll back of the federal rules late last year. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai cast the delay as a victory for the Commission. "This substantial concession reflects the strength of the case made by the United States earlier this month," Pai said. "It also demonstrates, contrary to the claims of the... |
