is a reporter focusing on film, TV, and pop culture. Before The Verge, he wrote about comic books, labor, race, and more at io9 and Gizmodo for almost five years. When NBC’s adaptation of The Office first debuted in 2005, the series was panned for being a pale and uninspired imitation of its English predecessor.

“Mockery of science”: Climate scientists tear into new US climate report

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-20 00:14:42

More than 85 climate scientists declared the Department of Energy’s new climate report unfit for policymaking in a comprehensive review released Tuesday. The DOE’s report cherry-picked evidence, lacked peer-reviewed studies to support its questioning of the detrimental effects of climate change in the US and is “fundamentally incorrect,” the authors concluded. Scientists have accurately modeled and predicted the volume and impact of excess CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere since the 1970s, when Exx

The First Trailer for ’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’ Expands the Zombie-Infested World

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-20 04:19:06

If the first trailer for 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple was just the words “Aren’t you excited you only had to wait three months to see this footage?” it would be enough. The fact is, in modern Hollywood, it’s incredibly rare for a movie to come out in June and for its sequel to be heading to theaters six months later, in January. But that’s what happened with 28 Years Later and its sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which will be out January 16, 2026. And, lucky for us, the trailer is mu
