On Saturday morning, as hundreds of far-right activists and lawmakers from across Europe gathered outside a conference center in the central Portuguese town of Figueira da Foz, a group of half a dozen men dressed in identical uniforms of khaki chinos, dark blue shirts, and sunglasses marched into the parking lot.On the lapels of their jackets, some wore the red and blue circular emblem of Patriot Front, the US white-supremacist group formed in the wake of the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and known for marching in large numbers while wearing masks and targeting left-wing events. When…
I love some gore. Peter Jackson’s 1992 gross-out flick Braindead is my number one zombie movie. The Thing is one of my favorite films ever. I’m currently being delighted by the absolutely horrific goings on in season four of From. Please know that when it comes to grisly violence, I’m no prude. Yet, when I watched last night’s lengthy reveal of Insomniac’s Wolverine, I emerged exhausted and disappointed by the bloodshed. And I think I know why. Like most sentient people, I’ve long admired the films of David Cronenberg. To be overly obvious, The Fly is my favorite of his works, but…

If there’s one thing that’d convince someone to be mindful about their news consumption, it’s becoming the maligned subject of a political scandal at 24 years old. So when Google began offering news alerts in 2003, Monica Lewinsky made the deliberate decision not to partake. “In the first handful of years, when there was still legal stuff happening, I would panic if I was away from my phone and I had a lot of missed calls,” Lewinsky says. “I would think, Oh, I’ve been indicted, or something’s happened.’’ It’s not surprising, then, that Lewinsky has “never been a notifications person.”…

Tom Holland is going to be starring in two of the biggest movies this summer, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey. But working on Christopher Nolan’s next epic blockbuster seemingly revealed to Holland that Marvel’s approach to moviemaking is more like a messy factory and less like the set of a talented auteur director. He seemingly wasn’t happy about it and kept bugging the people in charge, asking, “Why are we making this movie?” In a recent interview with GQ, via Variety, Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Tom Holland talked about how he had to convince Sony to delay production on…
Earlier today, Google posted its plan to invest $80 billion in scaling AI infrastructure, and now we have a Gemini update. That was fast! Jokes aside, the latest update makes Gemini’s “thinking levels” available to everyone across different platforms.Gemini 3.5 models are free for allGoogle started rolling out the different “thinking levels” around Google I/O 2026 last month. There are two options available — Standard and Extended. As the names suggest, one is simpler, while the other taps deeper into Gemini’s resources and allows for advanced reasoning and more complex responses. Josh Woodward, VP of Gemini at Google on X.…
On Monday, SpaceX amended its initial public offering to state that water conditions—including water scarcity, regulations around water, and drought—could constrain data center development.It isn’t the only tech company trying to assess how water scarcity might impact its business. Water use is emerging as one of the most contentious data center issues. A recent Gallup poll found that seven out of 10 Americans are opposed to data center development, with water scarcity ranking as the top resource concern. Facing increasingly fierce resistance, some tech companies are scrambling to assure the public that they’re facing the issue head-on.Data centers primarily use…
Does anyone remember when that awful mobile developer cloned Venba but replaced its mouth-watering South Indian food with… peanut butter and jelly? How about when Peak’s developers encouraged players to turn to piracy rather than playing a Roblox ripoff of the game? Or even when Hoyoverse allegedly stole an indie dev’s minigame in Zenless Zone Zero?Stolen concepts are everywhere, especially on mobile app stores and Roblox, but they’re often able to evade takedowns by using new assets, names, or tweaking the formula juuuuust a little bit (or apparently, in the case of that last example, being made by Hoyoverse). However,…
S Pen and Circle to Search with GoogleWith the S Pen, using Circle to Search with Google[1] becomes less of a burden, especially for users with bigger fingers. Offering better precision than using your finger, it lets you mark even the smallest objects, such as the brand logo of a watch. You can also scribble additional queries right in the search bar with the S Pen. Is having an S Pen a game-changer for Circle to Search with Google? No, of course not. But it’s really convenient as an option for those times when you’re already holding the stylus in…
