| A Jedi, Like His Father Before Him Posted: 03 Feb 2022 03:00 PM PST  As one of, if not often the, primary protagonists of Star Wars, the saga at large has often existed in various forms to ask one single question, with a thousand answers: who is Luke Skywalker? Farm boy, pilot, Jedi, teacher, learner, master, legend, Luke has been so many things across his life, in so many stories,… |
| Amazon Prime Raises Price as Jeff Bezos’ Yacht Attracts Unexpected Costs Posted: 03 Feb 2022 02:25 PM PST  If you rely on Amazon Prime to get necessities delivered to your door (or just for a hit of serotonin), we've got some bad news: Soon you'll be paying more for the convenience.

| DC Pre-Emptively Wins Comic of the Year With Jurassic League Posted: 03 Feb 2022 02:00 PM PST  In the grand tradition of JLApe: Guerilla Warfare, the superheroes of the Justice League are about to make another transcendent transformation.

| The View of Earth From Space—as Seen by a North Korean Missile Posted: 03 Feb 2022 01:35 PM PST  An apparently successful weapons test on Sunday included a camera mounted onto the warhead of a North Korean intermediate-range ballistic missile.

| Star Trek: Prodigy's Latest Finale Just Set Up One Hell of a Chase Posted: 03 Feb 2022 01:15 PM PST  Star Trek: Prodigy almost seems to have left us again as quickly as it returned at the start of the year, but that doesn't mean that the latest animated series in the franchise is made of lighter stuff. If anything, it just went out having finally delivered a truly fascinating premise for the series... and some very… |

| Wayne's World Is a Landmark Piece of Pop Culture Cinema Posted: 03 Feb 2022 12:30 PM PST  Watching Wayne's World in 2022 is like riding a time machine that's going backwards and forwards at the same time. Going one way, it's a picture perfect snapshot of the early 1990s. The music, clothes, references, attitude, all of it is as 1992 as you can imagine. And yet, looking in the other direction, it's ahead of… |
| Google’s Cruel for Killing This One Posted: 03 Feb 2022 12:05 PM PST  At a Glance on Android presents contextual information on a phone's home and lock screens, so users can quickly view relevant details without sifting through apps.

The Biden administration on Wednesday made a last-minute plea to halt the USPS' fleet, claiming the new trucks' laughably poor fuel efficiency would further worsen the… |
| You Can Now Buy 'Non-Fungible Animals,' And I Hate It Posted: 03 Feb 2022 11:20 AM PST  Got a bunch of cryptocurrency burning a hole in your digital wallet and want to own a piece of the wild? You're in luck. The World Wildlife Fund UK announced this week that they will sell NFTs in the form of digital art of 13 endangered species, which they're calling "non-fungible animals," or NFAs. Thanks! I hate it… |
| Netflix Is Bursting With Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy Films in 2022 Posted: 03 Feb 2022 11:10 AM PST  Just when you thought you had a handle on all the big blockbuster genre films coming in 2022, Netflix smashes through the door like the Kool-Aid Man. The company just released a bonkers three-minute trailer highlighting only some of the movies it has coming out in 2022, including new films from directors like Paul Feig |
| A Highly Virulent Variant of HIV Has Been Discovered in the Netherlands Posted: 03 Feb 2022 11:00 AM PST  Researchers in a new paper this week say that a highly virulent variant of HIV has been silently circulating in the Netherlands, likely for decades.

| Give Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power's Character Posters a Hand Posted: 03 Feb 2022 10:10 AM PST  Amazon has spent years being very cryptic about just what its Lord of the Rings streaming show was going to be about. We got a rough time period, give or take a few thousand years. Hell, we very recently just got a name—The Rings of Power—which only tells us that this Lord of the Rings show will be about rings! And… |

| Gadgettes: RIP Wordle, Plus What the Hell Is Going on at Spotify? Posted: 03 Feb 2022 09:30 AM PST |
| British People Love Those Darned Sandworms Posted: 03 Feb 2022 09:20 AM PST  In what could be a prophecy for the future of this year's Academy Awards, Dune: Part 1 has conquered this year's nominations for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards like a potential Kwisatz Haderach might conquer fear, aka the Mind-Killer. The sci-fi epic will be featured in 11 categories, more than… |

| Scientists Deliberately Infected People With Covid-19: Here's What Happened to Them Posted: 03 Feb 2022 08:27 AM PST  The first results from a UK trial that deliberately exposed people to the coronavirus are finally here.

None of the volunteers became severely sick, though a… |
| Facebook's User-Growth Machine Comes to a Halt Posted: 03 Feb 2022 08:15 AM PST  Though at times it seemed unlikely this day would ever come, the Facebook era of unrelenting user growth has finally come to an end.
