Kerry Wan/ZDNET The Google Pixel 9a might be the best-value phone of 2025, especially now that it brings flagship-level AI tools, a bright 120Hz display, and a massive battery into a more affordable price tier.

‘American Empire? What American Empire?’ You Can Ask With This Reagan-Adjacent Stormtrooper Helmet

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-03-03 02:30:33

To be a kid in the 1980s meant absorbing the last years of the Cold War through pop culture that played into fears about a World War III everyone assumed was coming—think WarGames, Red Dawn, and “99 Luftballoons.” Somehow that script got flipped when President Ronald Reagan announced the “Strategic Defense Initiative,” a system intended to protect the U.S. from missiles that quickly acquired its own pop culture nickname: “Star Wars.” While Reagan’s Star Wars never actually got off the ground, i

Foundation, Apple TV+’s adaptation of the famed Isaac Asimov novels, takes place in a galaxy facing an imminent, mathematically predicted age of darkness. It’s troubling, especially for Empire, the genetic dynasty of clones named Cleon that’s been in power for centuries, but it’s not as bad as all-out extinction. But as season three begins, certain among Foundation‘s characters learn the math has changed, and total doomsday is all but certain. Some react to this news—signaled by worrisome chang
