Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run was a landmark moment for Walt Disney Imagineering when it opened in 2019. It was the first Disney ride that allowed guests to directly control their experience and interact with the story. But for the next Smugglers Run mission, the company is going one step further and making the ride feel a lot more like a traditional video game, complete with branching choices and sophisticated enemies.

It’s been 28 years since that vengeful hook-handed killer targeted Julie (Jennifer Love Hewitt), Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr.), and their friends—but 29 since the hit-and-run that set their misery in motion. In the new I Know What You Did Last Summer, a direct sequel to 1998’s I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (the one set in the Bahamas), Julie and Ray are back, though the focus is clearly on the next generation of good-looking kids who haven’t yet learned the importance of taking responsibility

“Have we no shame?”: Trump’s NIH grant cuts appallingly illegal, judge rules

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-11 21:19:05

The Trump administration has locked horns with a federal judge who ruled on Monday that more than $1 billion in DEI-fueled cuts to federal health research clearly discriminated against racial minorities and LGBTQ+ people. In what The New York Times dubbed a “damning assessment” of Trump’s motives, Judge Williams G. Young ruled from the bench that the cuts were “void and illegal,” saying it was his “duty” to immediately order funding restored. “I would be blind not to call it out,” Young said,

Borderlands 4 recommended specs call for an RTX 3080 and 32GB RAM

A hot potato: Now that people are no longer angry over Borderlands 4 possibly costing $80 (it's actually $70 for the standard edition), something else is causing plenty of outrage: the game's PC requirements. Asking for an RTX 3080 as the recommended GPU does seem excessive, and even the minimum specs are higher than expected. Borderlands 4's system requirements on its Steam page are certainly higher than one would expect. Even the bare minimum requirements, where we usually see ancient and/or

Gardyn Indoor Hydroponic Garden Review: Better Growing Through AI

Senate GOP bill spares nuclear and geothermal energy while hammering wind and solar

One month after the House passed its version of a reconciliation bill, Senate Republicans released their take on the budget bill Monday night. The Senate Finance Committee’s language would take a sledgehammer to some parts of the renewable-friendly Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) while sparing others.
