In June, Spider-Man fans learned that one of the character’s most enduring cliffhangers was finally going to get resolved. But if you’ve been wondering since 1998 how Peter Parker managed to reunite with MJ, whose whereabouts were unknown when Spider-Man: The Animated Series concluded, it seems the new comic Spider-Man ’94 isn’t going to get into the gritty details just yet.

Horrifyingly Huge New Stick Insect Discovered Exactly Where You Think

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-19 23:05:48

Australia is famous for hosting the weirdest creatures we’ve ever seen. Sometimes, these weird creatures also come extra-large—like the newly discovered stick insect that researchers believe may be the heaviest of all Aussie insects. The insect, named Acrohylla alta, is about 15 inches (40 centimeters) long—about the height of a bowling pin—and weighs around 0.1 pounds (44 grams), slightly lighter than the heaviest golf ball.

Microsoft catches Russian hackers targeting foreign embassies

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-12-19 23:43:51

Russian-state hackers are targeting foreign embassies in Moscow with custom malware that gets installed using adversary-in-the-middle attacks that operate at the ISP level, Microsoft warned Thursday. The campaign has been ongoing since last year. It leverages ISPs in that country, which are obligated to work on behalf of the Russian government. With the ability to control the ISP network, the threat group—which Microsoft tracks under the name Secret Blizzard—positions itself between a targeted

The Space Station’s Russian Segment Won’t Stop Leaking Air

A pesky air leak on the International Space Station (ISS) just won’t quit. Although the crew hoped they had sealed the last crack on the Russian module, long-term observations revealed that the ISS is still leaking air. During a recent press conference, a Roscosmos official told reporters that recent attempts to fix the leak have slowed down the rate of air leaving the space station but that it’s not yet completely sealed. “The leak is ongoing,” Russian news agency TASS reported. “We continue o

The move follows outcry from meteorologists and public officials blindsided by the planned cancellation at the start of hurricane season.

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man films serve as the blueprint for many superhero movies that have sprung from comic book pages and onto the big screen in the last quarter-century. The spectacle, action, and hero’s journey of one Peter Parker captivated audiences, thanks in part to the stellar casting of Tobey Maguire as the Marvel icon.

This Week’s ‘Strange New Worlds’ Is a Little Too Cute for Its Own Good

Strange New Worlds loves being Star Trek. That’s different from, say, Lower Decks, a series that loved being about Star Trek and the metatextual acknowledgement of that to the nerdiest of degrees. Strange New Worlds knows that it is Star Trek and enjoys that: its connection to the original, the warts-and-all embrace of episodic storytelling, its desire to poke and prod at itself endlessly, and its willingness to vacillate its tone from high drama to high camp on a dime.
