The Fourth Wave: How Speedballing Is Creating a New Kind of Drug Crisis

gizmodo.com Andrew Yockey 2025-08-29 02:00:30

Speedballing—the practice of combining a stimulant like cocaine or methamphetamine with an opioid such as heroin or fentanyl—has evolved from a niche subculture to a widespread public health crisis. The practice stems from the early 1900s, when World War I soldiers were often treated with a combination of cocaine and morphine. Once associated with high-profile figures like John Belushi, River Phoenix and Chris Farley, this dangerous polysubstance use has become a leading cause of overdose death

Rian Johnson Feels Fine About ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-08-29 04:25:20

The changeover from Star Wars: The Last Jedi to The Rise of Skywalker had everyone feeling some type of way, and it continues to this day. Was J.J. Abrams spitefully undoing Rian Johnson’s work in Jedi, or are the two more in conversation with one another than they appear? In Johnson’s eyes, it’s the latter, and something he harbors no ill will about. While chatting with Rolling Stone about Poker Face’s just-wrapped second season, he revealed he had “a great time” watching Skywalker and didn’t

As a wellness writer and amateur birder, I appreciate the health benefits of being around birds. Studies show that birdwatching and hearing birdsong can positively impact our mental health, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, lowering stress levels and fostering a sense of connection with nature. Until recently, I lived in an apartment in the heart of a city. I had to actively seek out nature and the advantages of being surrounded by our avian friends. I now live in a house with a back

This story originally appeared on Grist and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. The “one big beautiful bill” that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4 is set to upend many aspects of American life, including climate policy. The law, which Republicans backed en masse, not only derails the nation’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it could also strike a blow to consumers’ pocketbooks.

I’ve waited two years to try out the new Alexa, which was first announced way back in 2023, and this week I finally got access to Alexa Plus. I’ve now spent 24 hours with Amazon’s generative AI-powered voice assistant, and it’s not just an improvement on the original; it’s an entirely new assistant.

How to Watch the Southern Delta Aquariids and Perseids Meteor Showers

If you want to get into stargazing in 2025, there’s no better place to start than viewing a meteor shower. Meteor showers, or shooting stars, happen when Earth’s orbital path crosses a path of debris left by a comet and that material burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere. Watching a meteor shower is one of the most accessible ways to engage with the night sky.
