Political Influencers Are Ramping Up Security—and Posting Through It

As news broke that conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot at an event on a college campus last week, Hasan Piker’s Twitch chat was spiraling. Messages flooded onto the streamer’s channel. “Disavow quickly and vehemently for your own safety,” one chatter urged. “Pleeeeeeaaaase don’t do public debates anymore,” begged another. Piker, one of the most prominent progressive creators online, was set to face Kirk in a live debate at Dartmouth University on September 25. Now, still on air with new

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Ends Its Bumpy Season With a Similarly Bumpy Finale

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season has been its bumpiest ride yet, with more lows than highs. But in something that feels like somewhat of a reset for the series, its finale brings together elements from a few of those highs (and a few of those lows, for good or ill) to deliver an ending that at the very least brings the Enterprise into proverbial spacedock smoothly… if not without a few scrapes along the hull. Yes, the mostly good news is that “New Life and New Civilizations” (which g

We Finally Know What the Upcoming ’28 Years Later’ Sequel Is About

This summer’s 28 Years Later ended on a maddening, disturbing cliffhanger. Spike (Alfie Williams) decided to leave his family and its safe village to explore the world, only to run into the insane Jimmy (Jack O’Connell) and his jumpsuit-wearing gang. What did this have to do with the film we’d been watching? What did it have to do with what’s coming next? We finally have some answers. Those answers are coming in 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, which opens in theaters January 16, 2026. That’s a

New dinosaur species is the punk rock version of an ankylosaur

Ankylosaurs, with their squat, armored bodies and bizarre, weaponized tails, are an iconic group of dinosaurs. While there were plenty of species present in the Cretaceous, they're thought to have origins that trace back to the Jurassic. It has been hard to say much about those origins, however, because the fossil evidence was so sparse. One of the earliest potential ankylosaur species, Spicomellus, was known from only a single partial rib; others are known only by jaw fragments or teeth. Now,

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Pulled Off Something Better Than a Classic Zombie Story

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds loves itself a trope, and sometimes that really is a “for better or worse” kind of situation. So when this week’s episode, “Shuttle to Kenfori”, revealed that its antagonists were some very fast-running plant-based zombies (The Last of Who?), I braced myself to hit all the very well-worn marks of the genre. But thankfully “Kenfori” surprised me, and sidestepped a thematic cynicism to deliver a surprise sequel to one of season 2’s standout episodes. “Shuttle to Kenf

Let’s Talk About the Ending of ’28 Years Later’

One of the few flaws in Danny Boyle’s new film, 28 Years Later, is that it ends a chapter, not a full story. That’s because this new zombie tale is the first film of a proposed trilogy, one that has its second film coming in January of 2026. With at least one sequel guaranteed, Boyle and his writer, Alex Garland, can safely leave several threads lingering, offering hints of what’s to come. Let’s break it down with full spoilers. One of the biggest shocks in 28 Years Later is its manic ending. A

Before the Cult TV Show, the Buffy Movie Proved How Fun Slaying Monsters Can Be

Buffy the Vampire Slayer may soon make a TV comeback with Sarah Michelle Gellar—and the cult-classic series will always be the most beloved version of Buffy’s story. But in 1992, five years prior to fans becoming obsessed with Sunnydale and the Scoobies, a different version of Buffy’s story hit the big screen. The same broad strokes are there; the script is by (now-disgraced) Buffy series creator Joss Whedon, and it follows a chipper blonde named Buffy saving the world from monsters. But it’s go
