In 2024, scientists announced the discovery of a new species of giant anaconda in South America. A National Geographic camera crew was on hand for the 2022 expedition that documented the new species—and so was actor Will Smith, since they were filming for NatGeo’s new documentary series, Pole to Pole with Will Smith.

Nestled in the South Pacific Ocean, some 6,000 people live on the most isolated, inhabited island in the world: Rapa Nui.

The loss of the federal EV tax credits may have been a huge blow to prospective buyers, but California wants to fill that gap for its residents.

At CES 2026 in Las Vegas this past week, I finally had the opportunity to go hands on with the Galaxy Z TriFold, Samsung’s first phone that folds twice and transforms from a regular 6.5-inch Android handset into a 10-inch Android tablet. On the surface, the Z TriFold is essentially a thicker Galaxy Z Fold7 with an extra, third panel, but that doesn’t really do it justice.

CES is a time for lots of new gaming tech. Like Razer’s Project Ava, the little AI friend in a jar who hangs out on your desk. Or Project Motoko, a pair of headphones with cameras built into them so it can watch you play games and give you tips. It’s weird. So Kurt and Lucy talk about it in this segment of Kurt & Lucy Gotcha Covered.
