"Smartphones are now part and parcel of the way North Korea tries to indoctrinate people." Autocomrade North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jong Un, is tightening the leash to stop the influence of South Korean media from crossing the border, where it's often smuggled on USB sticks and SD cards. As the BBC reports, consuming foreign media is punishable by imprisonment and even death in the dictatorship. In 2023, Kim even made it a crime for people to use South Korean phrases or speak in a South

Clearly, a movie about a killer robot who looks like a young child has to have a sense of humor about it. Without that, it’s hard to take the character seriously. It’s a big part of why, back in 2022, M3GAN became a breakout hit. It was gory and thrilling, but also very self-aware and completely hilarious. Now, for its sequel, it’s taking all of that and dialing it way, way up, where the lines between humor and horror are basically completely gone. In other words, it looks amazing. The latest

For over a decade, researchers have suggested a high possibility of our Milky Way galaxy smashing into neighboring galaxy Andromeda around 5 billion years from now. The collision would merge the two galaxies into a single (very creatively named) “Milkomeda”—but new research now indicates that this is less likely than previously assumed. Integrating new data from the Gaia and Hubble telescopes, an international team of researchers has simulated our galaxy’s movement for the next 10 billion years

Self-driving cars might be taking the world by storm, but that doesn't mean everyone's happy about it. Some residents unfortunate enough to live next to the Waymo depot in Santa Monica, California discovered a dreadful byproduct of Alphabet's self-driving cars: their insanely irritating backup noise. "It's one of the most annoying noises I could think of," one resident told local station KTLA. As the Los Angeles Times recently reported, local regulations require self-driving vehicles to emit

Almost 60 million years ago, a series of natural events—including volcanic eruptions, erosion, glacial movement, and sea level rise—created Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway: a coastal area made of over 40,000 hexagonal basalt stone pillars.

In a new study published in the journal Acta Astronautica, researchers from NASA and CalTech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory admitted they could not rule out the chance that the twin star pulses they detected within Ursa Major, some 100 light-years away, were related to alien life.
