‘Wednesday’ Star Evie Templeton on Agnes’ Progression From Stalker to Friend

During a chat on the official Wednesday podcast—or rather, woecast—Nevermore newcomer Evie Templeton discussed Agnes coming into her own after being an unhinged stalker fan of Netflix’s favorite Addams. After Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) lays into her at the end of the second season of the Tim Burton show, seemingly to push her to be herself in the meanest way possible, Agnes gets gutted emotionally in a way that could have been a villain origin but goes in a surprisingly positive direction. “I th

Uber and partner Momenta will start testing robotaxis in Europe next year

Uber and its new partner Momenta will start testing an autonomous ride-sharing service in Europe in 2026, Momenta announced. The service will kick off in Munich, Germany using Momenta's self-driving tech and Uber's ride-sharing platform, with the goal of future European expansion. The companies chose Munich to kick off the operation due to the city's "deep-rooted engineering heritage, top-tier automotive ecosystem and openness to innovation," Momenta said. Momenta and Uber announced a "strategi

Momenta,

Oscar Isaac Will Bring a ‘Rock Star’ Energy to His Victor Frankenstein

Entertainment Weekly recently sat down with Oscar Isaac to discuss Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein movie, which will hit theaters in October before rolling out on Netflix. While the article breaks down the overall thrust of the movie—namely, that Dr. Frankenstein is haunted by the specter of an abusive father (Charles Dance), prompting him to create new life in an attempt to break the chains of generational trauma more than scientific achievement—the piece hones in on Isaac’s quote that his po

Netflix updates its Moments feature to give users greater control over scene clipping

Netflix launched a scene-clipping feature for mobile last year called “Moments,” which lets users quickly save their favorite scenes from shows and movies within the Netflix app. The streaming giant rolled out an update on Wednesday, allowing users to specify both a starting point and an endpoint when saving a scene. People now have the option to adjust the scene’s ending, allowing them to create clips that are as long or as short as they prefer. Previously, users could only set a starting poin

Coinbase shares slide Tuesday as crypto play takes double-digit fall from July record

Shares were last down more than 5%. The decline occurred as investors adopted a risk-off stance on Tuesday and the three major averages declined. Coinbase is now off more than 30% from its all-time high of $444.65, reached on July 18. Shares popped in mid-July as legislators voted on a series of crypto-related bills, ending with President Donald Trump signing the GENIUS Act stablecoin legislation — the nation's first-ever crypto law. Shares have been collapsing since then. Shares of the crypto

Season one of Murderbot wrapped up in a way that was sad yet hopeful—read io9’s recap here—with the underlying joy for fans that the Apple TV+ series will be returning to adapt more of Martha Wells’ Murderbot Diaries stories. And Alexander Skarsgård, who plays the title character, felt plenty of human emotion welling up while he was portraying the self-aware robot in the finale. Speaking to Collider, the actor, who’s also one of Murderbot‘s executive producers, spoke about the scene, in which h

Physicists Solve a 50-Year Mystery About a Critically Important Molecule

After relying on an educated guess for decades, scientists have finally confirmed the dipole moment of aluminum monochloride (AlCl), an elusive but important molecule known to sneak around the interiors of ancient galaxies. An electric dipole moment is a measure of polarity—a crucial determinant for many physical properties of any system, such as its boiling point or solubility. Given its importance, the new result, published last month in Physical Review A, presents exciting opportunities for

The whiplash of covering Summer Game Fest 2025 in LA

I love going to Summer Game Fest. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with my colleagues and friends in person, as well as listen to developers talk about why they make their games. In some ways, this year’s SGF gave me everything I love about the event. But while I was comfortably ensconced in a happy bubble, the escalating conflict between demonstrators protesting against immigration raids and the Los Angeles Police Department cast a dark and soul-shaking pall that could not be ignored. Everyt

Twitch’s new storage limits will purge huge swaths of Internet gaming history

Popular Amazon-owned game streaming platform Twitch announced Wednesday that it will be imposing a 100-hour limit on the archived video highlights users can preserve permanently on the site. And while Twitch says that only 0.5 percent of users will be affected by these new limits, gamers are warning that the move threatens to eradicate large swaths of recent gaming history from the Internet. Highlights, in Twitch's own words, are a way for Twitch streamers to "show off your best moments to new
