These Are the 15 New York Officials ICE and NYPD Arrested in Manhattan

Police arrested more than a dozen New York state and city elected officials Thursday at 26 Federal Plaza, the Manhattan immigration court and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office, many as they pressed to gain access to the building’s 10th-floor lockup, where recent court rulings—including a temporary restraining order—directed ICE not to cram immigrants into overcrowded, unsanitary conditions. The lawmakers and other officials, arrested around 3:45 pm local time, say they w

These Smoked Human Remains May be the Oldest Mummies Known to Science

Researchers have discovered what they believe to be the earliest evidence of artificial mummification known to science, pushing back the timeline for the burial ritual to far before the time of the ancient Egyptians. Hunter-gatherers in Southeast Asia who lived some 20,000 and 4,000 years ago buried their dead in tightly crouched or squatting positions. Not only that, but these communities also practiced a form of mummification that involved drying out the human remains over a fire, as research

New PS5 Update Lets DualSense Controllers Pair With Multiple Devices at the Same Time

All you PlayStation 5 players can now pair your wireless DualSense controllers with up to four devices at a time and toggle among them. For some time, you've been able to pair your DualSense controllers not just with PS5s and other PlayStation consoles, but also with PCs, Macs, smartphones and other Bluetooth devices. But that pairing could happen with only one device at a time; using a different device with a DualSense required pairing all over again. That changes now, with system update 25.0

A New Island Has Popped Up in Alaska

Glaciers along the coastal plain of southeastern Alaska are rapidly retreating, spilling meltwater into expanding proglacial lakes. One such lake—fed by the receding Alsek Glacier—has grown so much that it transformed a small mountain into a new island. The Alsek Glacier once enveloped this rocky mound—known as Prow Knob—near its terminus. Over the past 40 years, both of the glacier’s arms have retreated more than 3 miles (5 kilometers), creating Alsek Lake. Landsat images captured in 1984 and

Being Underweight Might Be Deadlier Than Being Overweight

If asked whether one would prefer to be too skinny or fat, chances are most people would reply that they’d rather be too skinny. Distorted standards of beauty and their propagation on social media are certainly to blame for this, in addition to the knowledge that being overweight typically brings along a host of health risks. A new study, however, suggests that being too thin can actually be deadlier. Researchers used health data to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and
