Local Grifters Discover Superman Is From Another Planet

It is unsurprising to anyone with even an iota of experience with Superman—whether they’ve picked up a comic, watched a TV show, or seen a movie at any point over the last nearly 90 years—that the character has had an immigration parallel at the heart of his story. A child of two worlds, created by immigrants, Kal-El’s escape from Krypton to find a home where he is raised to embrace the values of the American ideal is a touchstone that has been woven through almost a century of storytelling. And

Rivian’s new Quad-Motor R1T and R1S beat the competition in any conditions

Rivian provided flights from Albany, New York, to Reno, Nevada, and accommodation so Ars could drive the quad-motor R1s. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. It's getting harder to find hyperboles to describe the performance of modern EVs. Horsepower figures measured in four digits and acceleration figures clocking in well under three seconds aren't exactly de rigueur, but they're well short of rare these days. Rivian's latest generation ticks those boxes, joining the automaker's range

It’s Prime Day, and these are the best deals we could hunt down

Greetings, Arsians! It's Prime Day, where we celebrate liberation from our Cybertronian oppressors, the Decepticons, and the mighty Autobot leader who fought for our freedom, Optimus Pr—hmm, one moment. I am once again being told that in spite of the name, Prime Day does not in fact have anything to do with the veneration of Optimus Prime, and is in fact all about buying things. All right, in that case, let's shift gears and engage in some commerce! Our partners over at the Condé mothership hav

How to Spot Fake Beauty Products on Amazon: Tips and Advice

You’d expect your pimple patches to heal blemishes, not cause them. But when you're buying beauty products on Amazon, there’s a risk you’re getting more than you bargained for. And you wouldn’t be alone. According to a 2023 study from Michigan State University, nearly seven in 10 consumers were fooled into purchasing counterfeit items online. That same year, Amazon reported blocking more than 700,000 attempts by “bad actors” trying to open new storefronts and seizing more than 7 million counter

DOJ Releases Video of Jeffrey Epstein’s Jail Cell, but There’s a Minute Missing

The U.S. Department of Justice has released video from the jail in New York where Jeffrey Epstein was held, recorded the day he died in 2019. The release is part of a campaign by the Trump regime to convince skeptical Americans that the child sex offender really did kill himself. But the video is only creating more conspiracy theories because there appears to be about one minute missing. The video released by DOJ, from inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, begins at 7:30 p.m. on August 9

How scientists are trying to use AI to unlock the human mind

Compared with conventional psychological models, which use simple math equations, Centaur did a far better job of predicting behavior. Accurate predictions of how humans respond in psychology experiments are valuable in and of themselves: For example, scientists could use Centaur to pilot their experiments on a computer before recruiting, and paying, human participants. In their paper, however, the researchers propose that Centaur could be more than just a prediction machine. By interrogating th
