McDonald's Snack Wraps, a chicken-tortilla entree that's been missing from US locations of the Golden Arches, flew back into US restaurants on July 10 -- and after all this build-up, I had to try both flavor varieties right away. McDonald's Snack Wraps first came out in 2006 and were meant to be a chicken item that would appeal to drive-thru customers because they're less messy to eat while traveling.

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-08 01:06:24

The Trump administration's plan to gut the Office of Space Commerce and cancel the government's first civilian-run space traffic control program is gaining plenty of detractors.

A spokesperson for the military's Space Operations Command, which currently has overall responsibility for space traffic management, said i

Democrats and Republicans Unite in Last-Ditch Effort to Save NASA

Earlier this year, the Trump administration revealed its proposed 2026 budget for NASA, a horrifying plan to chop up dozens of important science missions alongside thousands of jobs. The proposal suggested slicing the space agency's science budget in almost half, in "nothing short of an extinction-level event for space science and exploration in the United States," as Planetary Society chief of space policy Casey Dreier told Ars Technica in March.

Trump Wants Border Surveillance Towers That Only Palmer Luckey Can Build

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-08-08 08:35:56

Part of Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill—the massive spending bill that will make permanent tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans while gutting social services like Medicaid—calls for new surveillance towers for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to use on the northern and southern borders. That’s pretty standard procedure, except for one catch that The Intercept picked up on: the description of the project basically only fits the work of Palmer Luckey’s Anduril Industries.

A Bold Mission to Hunt for Aliens on Venus Is Actually Happening

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-08-08 09:15:31

A UK-based mission is aiming to settle, once and for all, whether life exists on Venus. The mission plans to send a probe to the planet in search of microbial life, not on the surface, of course, but in the Venusian clouds. Over the past half-decade, scientists have detected the presence of phosphine and ammonia—two potential signs of biological activity—in Venus’s clouds.
