gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-11 18:21:15

Magic: The Gathering is having an even bigger moment than usual this year, thanks to a lot of attention around its splashy crossovers and its rapid rollout of sets. But with that attention, there’s definitely been some consternation about just how wide-reaching Magic‘s aesthetic is getting, between experimental in-universe sets and those aforementioned “Universes Beyond” bringing more and more licensed material into the game.

Jellyfish Overpower Nuclear Power Plant in Show of Force From Mother Nature

Jellyfish may be spineless, but they showed the backbone of a dedicated environmentalist over the weekend. A swarm of the gelatinous sea dwellers overwhelmed a nuclear power plant in northern France, forcing its shutdown on Sunday. The incident started when a “massive and unpredictable” swarm of jellyfish started to overwhelm the filter drums, which remove debris from cooling water systems, at the Gravelines nuclear power plant that sits on the coast of the North Sea.

These are my favorite Switch 2 accessories

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2025-12-11 18:30:25

The Switch 2 can be enjoyed right out of the box, but it’s even better with the right accessories. Some of these add-ons are more crucial than others, especially if you’re deciding what to buy early on. For example, a case and a screen protector can keep your console safe from scuffs, scratches, and drops, so both are what I’d consider to be essential. On the other hand, a microSD Express card lets you add even more digital games to your library, although the console’s somewhat generous 256GB o

In 1959, 25-year-old meteorologist Dennis Bell disappeared into a glacial crevasse in the Antarctic before the eyes of his horrified colleague. 66 years later, a Polish team has finally discovered his remains in the wake of a receding glacier.
