First in a series on lessons learned at Boom on how to develop hardware quickly and efficiently XB-1 is the world’s first independently-developed supersonic jet, breaking the sound barrier for the first time in January, 2025.

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-11-28 21:00:11

After The Marvels and Deadpool & Wolverine laid the groundwork for more Fox X-Men to return, Avengers: Doomsday is going all in by bringing back several non-Wolverine (or Professor X) characters from the original films. Among them is James Marsden, who played Cyclops in that initial trilogy and didn’t really get to do much in them. Speaking to Vanity Fair, the actor recalled “20 years of listening to people say, ‘When are you coming back? When are you coming back? Are you coming back?’ But I’m

What is Laura Loomer?

theverge.com Tina Nguyen 2025-11-30 22:51:24

For the uninitiated, watching a Jeffrey Epstein truther such as Laura Loomer have such influence over the White House’s decisions is nothing short of baffling. ABC News attributes “the ouster of at least 15 individuals from Trump’s second administration” to Loomer’s influence — partially, at least. For Washington veterans who grew up in quote-unquote normal times, it’s unprecedented.
