We’ve Seen ‘Primate,’ the First Big Horror Movie of 2026

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-09-21 23:00:29

We’ve seen into the future. Each January, Hollywood provides a few horror movies to kick off the new year and, in 2026, one of those movies is Primate. It’s a down-and-dirty, sub-90-minute horror movie about a killer chimpanzee starring Oscar winner Troy Kotsur, which just had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2025. And, we think, slotting it in early January is perfect because the film meets, but doesn’t quite exceed, expectations. Directed by Johannes Roberts (47 Meters Down, Resident Evil

The Math of Catastrophe

news.ycombinator.com Gregory Barber 2025-09-23 00:34:58

In the 1960s, the Soviet climatologist and mathematician Mikhail Budyko set out to investigate the potential future of a planet on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. He started by looking some 600 million years into the past. Back then, some scientists claimed, the ancient planet was an iced-over snowball. Most researchers considered that a crackpot theory. Ice over the equator? Please. But Budkyo developed a mathematical model to back it up. If sea ice had been able to expand past a critical lat

Al Gore on China’s climate rise: ‘I would not have seen this coming’

techcrunch.com Connie Loizos 2025-09-27 19:00:00

Twenty-five years ago, Al Gore was in the final stretch of his U.S. presidential campaign, just weeks away from an election that would ultimately slip through his fingers despite winning the popular vote. His platform included ambitious climate action, with America positioned as the natural leader of a global environmental transition. The irony of what has transpired since is not lost on him. “Looking from the standpoint of 25 years ago, I have to say no, I would not have seen this as the most

After a tenure of eight years, a Tesla engineer has quit the company — and directed a seething missive toward his boss, Elon Musk.

Last year, the United Nations predicted that Earth’s average temperature could rise more than 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) by 2100 if we don’t reduce global emissions. That level of warming would cause catastrophic, irreversible damage to ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need to slow the pace of climate change.
