As its name suggests, this supernova — the fabulous astronomical term for the explosive death of a star — was first spotted back in 2023, when Southern California's Zwicky Transient Facility zeroed in on it thanks to new AI algorithms designed to detect such brilliant blasts. This supernova, however, was different. It appeared,

MAGA Congresswoman Claims UFOs Might Be ‘Interdimensional Beings’

What are those unexplained objects zipping around in the sky? They could be aliens; they could be secret government aircraft; they might even be Superman. Or, if you believe the latest MAGA politician to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast, they’re beings from another dimension. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, has held hearings on Capitol Hill to investigate UAPs, unidentified aerial phenomena, and the congresswoman told Rogan on Wednesday’s episode that she’s seen evidence they co

The real reason is this: The negativity of online technical discussions makes me bitter, and even though I'm sometimes drawn to them I need to stay away.

The Gear You Need to Keep Fit, Rested, and Balanced

A Tesla robotaxi inexplicably drove into a parked car

One of Tesla's fully autonomous robotaxis grazed a parked car after completing a ride recently in Austin, Texas.

Tesla's robotaxi service launched in Austin just two weeks ago with a small fleet. According to DirtyT
