| Netflix's Fear Street Trailer Promises a Gruesome Summer Movie Experience Posted: 19 May 2021 07:34 AM PDT  For people who grew up loving R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books, the author's Fear Street series was an excellent way of transitioning to darker, more terrifying stories about teenagers dealing with rather Goosebumps-like, but markedly more dangerous situations in the fictional town of Shadyside. |
| The Biggest Climate Trial of the Year Was a Chevron-Fueled ‘Charade’ Posted: 19 May 2021 07:30 AM PDT  After a week of proceedings, the criminal trial for attorney Steven Donziger—who won a multibillion-dollar case against Chevron over pollution in the Amazon rainforest—wrapped up on Monday. In his estimation, the trial was a "charade." And yet he was relatively pleased with the outcome. |
| China’s Zhurong Rover Sends Back Its First Images of Mars Posted: 19 May 2021 07:18 AM PDT  On Sunday, China became the second country to successfully land a mission on Mars. The Zhurong rover, now comfortably sitting just above the dusty plain of Utopia Planitia, has sent back its first images of the Martian landscape. |
| Justin Trudeau Uses Fake Mac, Like a Commoner Posted: 19 May 2021 06:20 AM PDT  More news from Canada, nation of paradoxes, which printed the wrong leaf on its currency and where a mayor's approval rating can rise after a world-famous crack scandal. This week's mystery from the north: Justin Trudeau has been photographed masquerading as a Macbook user. Why, Canada? |
| Doctor Who May See Another Classic Villain Return Posted: 19 May 2021 06:09 AM PDT  Godzilla: Singular Point is full steam ahead. The Conjuring team dives into the '80s for totally radical possessions. Plus Steven Moffat's The Time Traveler's Wife adaptation gets a first look and The Flash is having more Speed Force drama. Spoilers coming at you fast! |
| The iPad Pro Is as Powerful as It Can Be—Now What? Posted: 19 May 2021 06:00 AM PDT  The new 12.9-inch M1 iPad Pro is an incredible device. It's powerful. It's fast. It's future-proof. Its screen is ridiculous, and I mean that in the best possible way. It's also overkill—for now. |
| Help Wanted: Nuclear Weapons Courier, Serious Inquiries Only Posted: 19 May 2021 04:00 AM PDT  Have you ever wanted to guard nuclear weapons as they crisscross the United States? Well, the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration has a job opening for precisely that.

| Eli Roth and Zak Bagans' The Haunted Museum Will Explore the Stories Behind Real-Life Spooky Objects Posted: 18 May 2021 05:30 PM PDT  Horror movies are scary, but things get downright terrifying when objects in real life seem to have horrifying powers. Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada, is a 14,000 square foot mansion filled with actual artifacts, all of which have their own creepy stories attached. Whether you choose to believe them… |
| Here's Everything Announced at Google I/O Posted: 18 May 2021 05:15 PM PDT  Google I/O is back, baby, and that means a metric crap-ton of updates for the Google ecosystem. Although it was virtual, the annual developers' conference did not fail to be a spectacle that featured opera-singing digital blobs, a bizarre cameo from Michael Peña, and AI bots pretending to be Pluto. |
| Amazon Has Extended the Moratorium on Police Use of Its Facial Recognition Software Posted: 18 May 2021 05:03 PM PDT  Law enforcement officials are still banned from using Amazon's facial recognition technology "until further notice," the company said on Wednesday, a decision that effectively extends a yearlong moratorium that had been set to expire on June 1. |
| Google Wants to Make the Next Pixel Camera More Inclusive Posted: 18 May 2021 04:53 PM PDT  Android is used on 3 billion smartphones worldwide, but most of the cameras on Android phones don't accurately capture people of color. This is why Google announced it's striving to develop a "more accurate and inclusive camera" for its next batch of smartphones. |
| A Black Lady Sketch Show's Fairy Auntmother Reveals an Inevitable Truth Posted: 18 May 2021 04:00 PM PDT  Once people born in the early-to-mid '80s started having fits on TikTok over literal children telling them their hairstyles were dated, it was only a matter of time before the internet coalesced around the term "geriatric millennial" as part of our larger conversation about the current generation of 25-to-35-year-olds. |
| Fans of Andy Weir's The Martian Will Love Project Hail Mary Posted: 18 May 2021 03:15 PM PDT  Project Hail Mary, the third book by Andy Weir, finds the author going back to what made him famous in the first place. Weir rose to fame with The Martian, a book (and eventually a movie) about a man stranded on Mars who uses complicated, compelling science to get himself home. While Weir's second book, Artemis, … |
| Venmo Stops Payments for Palestinian Relief Funds, Citing 'Security Concerns' Posted: 18 May 2021 03:03 PM PDT  We're officially entering the second week in a row of fighting between Israel and Palestine, which means we probably haven't seen the last of the hundreds of deaths and countless injuries inflicted on Gaza residents thus far. If you're looking for a way to donate to the victims, then a quick word of advice: maybe… |
| Anonymous Donors Keep the Climate Denial Machine Chugging Posted: 18 May 2021 02:10 PM PDT  There's lots of talk from the GOP and fossil fuel companies these days about changing their tune and finally getting really serious about climate change. But new research shows that not much has changed in the world of organized climate denial: It's still massively funded by mostly anonymous donors shielding major… |
| Before Going Underground, Hackers Behind the Colonial Attack Cleared $90 Million in Bitcoin Posted: 18 May 2021 02:10 PM PDT  New research into the ransomware gang who attacked the Colonial Pipeline shows just how much money they were able to extort during a fairly short crime spree: about $90 million in approximately seven months. |
| RIP Charles Grodin, Star of The Great Muppet Caper, King Kong, and Midnight Run Posted: 18 May 2021 02:00 PM PDT  Charles Grodin, one of the great comedic actors of all time, died this week at the age of 86. When people hear Grodin's name, the first movie they probably think of is Midnight Run. The 1988 Martin Brest action comedy is a classic of the genre and showcases Grodin's smug, everyman persona beautifully. |
| Researchers Find ‘Forbidden’ Quasicrystal in Wake of Nuclear Bomb Test Posted: 18 May 2021 02:00 PM PDT  It's reasonable to think of nuclear bombs in terms of their destructive capabilities; splitting the atom means obliteration for anything in the blast radius. But, as a team of geologists and physicists recently figured out, it also means creation: specifically, the transfiguration of ordinary crystalline structures… |
| The Most Terrifying Things TikTok Says Will Kill You Posted: 18 May 2021 01:50 PM PDT  Everything you've never heard of could kill you. It is statistically unlikely that you will die by space crystal or poltergeist, but how do you know that you won't? TikTok has every single detail about catastrophes looming beyond the event horizon, threatening to wipe you off the face of the Earth unless you eat some… |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 01:37 PM PDT One of the most popular YouTube videos of 2020 was from former NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory engineer Mark Rober who attempted to build a squirrel-proof obstacle course. Spoiler alert: it wasn't, so a year later he's trying again, and this time taking inspiration from movies like Mission Impossible and Ocean's Eleven… |
| Bill Gates Hoped Jeffrey Epstein Could Help Him Schmooze His Way to Nobel Peace Prize: Report Posted: 18 May 2021 01:31 PM PDT  Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates appears to have hopelessly lost control of his efforts to do damage control on his once-budding bromance with fellow billionaire and notorious serial child abuser Jeffrey Epstein. |
| The Hunger Remake Rises From Its Sexy Vampire Grave Posted: 18 May 2021 01:30 PM PDT  The 1983 vampire movie The Hunger didn't exactly win over critics when it was first released, but since then it's become a cult film for its stylish looks, its bisexual lead character, and its influence on goth culture. These are presumably three of the reasons Warner Bros. has decided to reboot the movie, with the… |
| Posted: 18 May 2021 12:41 PM PDT As much as video-calling technologies like Facetime and Zoom have helped the world stay connected over the past year, they've also demonstrated their severe limitations, as it's hard to feel emotionally connected to someone through a low-quality video feed. Today, Google revealed a technology that's not quite ready… |
