The Latest ‘Demon Slayer’ Movie is Another Record-Breaking Hit

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-09-26 17:15:52

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle came to the United States this weekend, and it’s doing numbers well ahead of projections. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the film—the first of a trilogy meant to bring the shonen fantasy series to a close—made an estimated $70 million domestic, double the $35-40 million predicted by analysts. But Sony’s been aggressive with marketing it, not to mention the anime itself is pretty popular on its own. It’s the biggest opening ever for an anime film in North America, the

The Genetic Trick That Helped Humans Ride Horses

gizmodo.com Ellyn Lapointe 2025-10-22 13:00:55

Roughly 4,500 years ago, humans forged a bond that would shape the history of our species. The domestication of horses led to significant advancements in transportation, hunting, and warfare, literally carrying human society into the modern era. Despite how influential horses have been for humans, scientists still have many fundamental questions about their domestication. New research published Thursday, August 28, in the journal Science, offers new insight into the genetic shifts that helped t

Lawmaker: Trump’s Golden Dome will end the madness, and that’s not a good thing

"The underlying issue here is whether US missile defense should remain focused on the threat from rogue states and... accidental launches, and explicitly refrain from countering missile threats from China or Russia," DesJarlais said. He called the policy of Mutually Assured Destruction "outdated." President Donald Trump speaks alongside Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in the Oval Office at the White House on May 20, 2025, in Washington, DC.

Why Trump’s “golden dome” missile defense idea is another ripped straight from the movies

technologyreview.com Becky Ferreira 2025-11-19 18:00:00

In January 2024, Donald Trump revived the space-shield dream at a primary campaign rally in Laconia, New Hampshire, using the Star Wars nickname that Reagan hated. It didn’t work in the 1980s, Trump said, because the technology wasn’t there. But times have changed. Whether in Golden Age Hollywood or Trump’s impromptu dramatizations, the dream of a missile shield is animated by its sheer cinematic allure. “I’ve seen so many things. I’ve seen shots that you wouldn’t even believe,” Trump said. He

Trump’s Golden Dome Sparks Unprecedented Surge in Space Force Funding

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-11-27 22:50:40

The U.S. Space Force’s budget for 2026 could see a 40% increase compared to this year, which is mostly driven by President Donald Trump’s fantasy of creating a futuristic missile defense system that uses space-based sensors and weapons. A recent report by the Center for Space Policy and Strategy highlights the Golden Dome’s role in driving the increase in funding allocated toward the Space Force.

Trump’s ‘Golden Dome’ May Be Ready for Testing Just Before the 2028 Election: Report

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-09 03:00:36

As far as I know, spending over a hundred billion dollars to build a giant, missile-guided protective “dome” that will probably never work is not something many Americans have ever asked the government to do. Nevertheless, Trump has made it a point to do just this. In January, Trump initially announced the “Golden Dome,” a project to protect Americans from the “threat of attack by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, and other advanced aerial attacks.” The project, which is intended to u

Golden Dome may not be the golden ticket Silicon Valley is hoping for

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-12-19 17:00:00

Golden Dome, the Trump administration’s gambit to build a next-generation missile defense system, has startups and longstanding defense contractors preparing to duke it out for a piece of a $151 billion multi-year contract. The process to qualify for the $151 billion contract vehicle, essentially an umbrella program, is stacked against most startups – not because of their tech. Instead, smaller companies may be thwarted by a multi-layered, expensive bureaucratic process used to ensure a company

Fantastic Four: First Steps came to a theater near you this weekend, and its opening numbers are looking good. Per the Hollywood Reporter, Marvel’s latest earned $218 million worldwide in its first three days. While it’s slightly behind expectations and the similarly solid $220 million global opening of Superman two weeks prior, this is already more than the 2015 Fantastic movie made in its theatrical run.

Welcome to Edition 8.04 of the Rocket Report! The Pentagon's Golden Dome missile defense shield will be a lot of things. Along with new sensors, command and control systems, and satellites, Golden Dome will require a lot of rockets. The pieces of the Golden Dome architecture operating in orbit will ride to space on commercial launch vehicles. And Golden Dome's space-based interceptors will essentially be designed as flying fuel tanks with rocket engines. This shouldn't be overlooked, and that's

A Sweltering Heat Dome Is Pummeling the Middle of the US. Here's What That Means

You've probably heard of the heat index, and you might be aware of the National Weather Service's HeatRisk tool, but do you know what a heat dome is? If not, it's the perfect time to learn -- nearly a third of the US is about to be exposed to temperatures above 100 degrees because of one. The NWS has issued a bulletin warning that 100-degree temperatures will likely hit residents in the middle of the US today. The cause for that thermometer spike is a growing heat dome in the Mississippi Valley

Netflix’s first original series, House of Cards, launched in 2013, and television was never the same. But even as Netflix and other platforms began to gain popularity, old-school network and basic cable channels continued to create edgy (and sometimes a bit unhinged) genre shows—the sort of programming that just a few years later would come to dominate the streaming landscape.

The findings challenge long-held assumptions about the scale and intent of William the Conqueror’s great survey. Drawing on the earliest surviving manuscript of the survey, known as Exon Domesday, researchers argue that the survey was not simply a means of maximising tax but a far more ambitious and intricate exercise in governmental control - akin to an 11th-century form of big data processing.
