The New ‘Good Boy’ Trailer Puts the Dog in Dog Horror

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-19 09:25:26

Good Boy is a horror movie told from a dog’s point of view, and the film’s final trailer makes sure you understand that by emphasizing what looks to be an extremely charismatic canine performance. While it’s a bit of a gimmick, it makes sense: dogs have vastly superior senses of hearing and smell compared to humans. It’s not that much of a stretch to imagine they could detect lurking ghosts if they suddenly moved into a haunted house! World, meet Indy—owned by Good Boy‘s director Ben Leonberg a

Here’s a Mandela effect event that you probably thought was real: The Department of Government Efficiency, the pseudo-agency run by Elon Musk to cut “fraud, waste, and abuse” from federal operations, didn’t actually exist. At least, that is what Google’s AI Overview response will tell you if you search certain content related to DOGE’s operations.

Was Your Dog Harder to Train During the Pandemic? Science Says You’re Not Alone

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-09-30 13:00:54

Lockdown during the covid pandemic was hard on everyone, including our dogs. New research out today suggests dogs were harder to train in the years following 2020 but became more teachable as restrictions loosened. A study published Wednesday in the journal PLOS One analyzed owner-reported behavioral data for more than 47,000 companion dogs during and immediately after the covid-19 pandemic. The researchers looked for trends in fear, attention, aggression, and trainability, finding that average

The internet is filled with questions like “How to clean your dog's ears?” to “Do you really need to brush your pet's teeth?” Thanks to the crowdsourcing nature of the web, there's a bevy of instructional TikToks and fellow pet parents engaging in heated debates on everything from what your dog's poop means to how to best clip your cat's nails.

The U.S. isn’t doing very well right now. The nation’s capital is under military occupation, the president is pursuing a campaign of retribution against his political enemies, and the wealthiest people in the country have suddenly embraced government ownership of their companies if it means they don’t have to pay more in taxes.

Elon Musk's DOGE Was Far More of a Dismal Failure Than We Thought

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-16 02:50:33

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency originally promised to save the government $2 trillion in waste. That target quickly dropped to $1 trillion. Then in April, Musk started intimating that the savings would only be in the region of $150 billion, making it clear to all but his most diehard supporters that DOGE was failing on its own terms — even going by its own dubious estimates of its progress. Now, it's looking like those purported "savings" are somehow even more pitiful than onc

The Trump Administration’s Department of Government Efficiency has been a project largely defined by ever-diminishing expectations. At the outset of DOGE’s journey, its chief operator, Elon Musk, famously claimed, in a bout of wild optimism, that he hoped to cut “at least” $2 trillion out of the federal budget. Not long after the election, Musk reduced his ambitions to $1 trillion. Throughout the first few months of Trump’s second term, DOGE claimed to be saving Americans billions, but analyses
