This is an article with a title written in the form of a question but ending with an exclamation point because the obvious answer is of course No, it fucking can’t.

Al Gore on China’s climate rise: ‘I would not have seen this coming’

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-09-24 21:00:00

Twenty-five years ago, Al Gore was in the final stretch of his U.S. presidential campaign, just weeks away from an election that would ultimately slip through his fingers despite winning the popular vote. His platform included ambitious climate action, with America positioned as the natural leader of a global environmental transition. The irony of what has transpired since is not lost on him. “Looking from the standpoint of 25 years ago, I have to say no, I would not have seen this as the most

Scuba-Suit-Clad Thief Steals Thousands of Dollars From Floating Disney World Restaurant in Heist Ripped Right Out of the Movies

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-09-25 13:40:03

When we hear of criminal activity at Walt Disney World, it’s not usually pertaining to an action sequence that feels like it’s come right out of a Disney movie itself. But that was apparently the case this week in Orlando, when over $10,000 was stolen from a Disney World restaurant by a scuba-diving criminal mastermind. WFTV9 (via Cinemablend) reports that in the early hours of today, an unidentified man staged a robbery at the Paddlefish seafood restaurant in Disney Springs, a shopping and din

It was the turn of the millenium when I got my first computer fresh at university. Windows seemed uninteresting, it was impossible to work out how it worked or write programs for it. SuSE Linux 6.2 was much more interesting to try and opened a world of understanding how computers worked and wanting to code on them. These were the days of the .com boom and I went to big expos in London where they showered you with freebies and IBM competed with SuSE and Red Hat for the biggest stall. IBM said tha

The unbearable sameness of Liquid Glass

theverge.com David Pierce 2025-09-28 00:07:08

Liquid Glass is a neat party trick. The new design system, which was built for nearly all of Apple’s products and is rolling out this week, is built on the idea that interfaces should be three-dimensional: in the world of Liquid Glass, buttons and menus sit on top of whatever you’re doing or looking at, changing color and refracting digital light like they’re physical objects. It’s meant to feel like glass does in the real world. It’s visually very impressive, and it all kind of works! You insta

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-09-28 13:00:41

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season was weird as hell. Not just for the wild swings in tone and genre the series went for in its latest round of boldly going, but for a season that veered largely in quality from one episode to the next, including a particularly notable nosedive in its back half. But now that the season is over, and work on the next has already concluded, its producers are beginning to acknowledge that stumble. Speaking to TrekMovie recently after a screening of season 3

Anne Rice Hated This Vampire Movie, but It's Actually a Bloody, Rock-Infused Cult Classic

Vampires have captured the hearts and minds of audiences for over 100 years. From the original Dracula novel, to Abigail these monsters have delivered gore-soaked bloodbaths from creatures that only resemble humans. Novelist Anne Rice's vampire catapulted vampires to super stardom between her 1980s books, and the Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt adaptation of Interview With a Vampire in the '90s. However, her books extend far beyond Louis and Lestat's story. This movie is an adaptation of two novels and wh

Study Directly Links Emissions from Fossil Fuel Producers to Devastating Heatwaves

A new study directly links hundreds of major heatwaves since 2000 to the emissions from fossil fuel and cement producers. Among its fundings, the researchers conclude that as many as a quarter of all heatwaves since the start of this century would have been “virtually impossible” without emissions from any of the world’s 14 largest fossil fuel and cement producers.

When you think of Tron, you think of lightcycles. They’re a huge part of both 2010’s Tron: Legacy and 1982’s Tron. And yet, I had to wonder, were there even lightcycles in this movie?
