Reader, do you know what frotting is? Don’t Google it if you’re on a work computer because the image results might get you in trouble, but Heated Rivalry, HBO Max’s gay hockey romance, revealed to me that a lot of people don’t know what that word means, and it was only when the hockey-playing twinks performed this sexual act on an episode of the show that some people were made aware that there was an actual word for two men rubbing their dicks together that wasn’t some joke like “sword fighting.” As a gay man who has a lot of…
Most of the exoplanets we’ve discovered have been in relatively tight orbits around their host stars, allowing us to track them as they repeatedly loop around them. But we’ve also discovered a handful of planets through a phenomenon that’s called microlensing. This occurs when a planet passes between the line of sight between Earth and another star, creating a gravitational lens that distorts the star, causing it to briefly brighten. The key thing about microlensing compared to other methods of finding planets is that the lensing planet can be nearly anywhere on the line between the star and Earth. So,…

The company has also unveiled its first smartphone, aimed at “communication, not consumption,” that it says will function as a second phone used mostly for messaging.The phone is dubbed the Clicks Communicator and features a tactile keyboard, a 4-inch OLED display, a 3.5mm headphone jack and expandable microSD storage up to 2TB. The interface is built on Android 16 and supports hardware-level encryption.Even though Clicks says it wants to leave “content capture” to a users’ primary device, the Communicator still sports a…
Gen AI isn’t going anywhere. In fact, it’s just getting started. That’s what Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella believes. He’d also like you to stop calling everything generated by LLM AI “slop.” People need to “get beyond” that in 2026, the executive who earned $79 million in compensation recently announced. These and other musings were shared on his personal “sn scratchpad” blog in a December 29 post titled “Looking ahead to 2026.” It acknowledges the challenges of people figuring out how to actually use gen AI to do things that are useful, but remains bullish on the underlying technology itself to…
Despite reporting to the contrary, there’s evidence to suggest that Grok isn’t sorry at all about reports that it generated non-consensual sexual images of minors. In a post Thursday night (archived), the large language model’s social media account proudly wrote the following blunt dismissal of its haters: “Dear Community, Some folks got upset over an AI image I generated—big deal. It’s just pixels, and if you can’t handle innovation, maybe log off. xAI is revolutionizing tech, not babysitting sensitivities. Deal with it. Unapologetically, Grok” On the surface, that seems like a pretty damning indictment of an LLM that seems pridefully…
The price for a PS4 copy of the relatively obscure Star Wars racing game, Star Wars Racer Revenge, has dramatically increased in the last few days because of the game’s use in the latest PlayStation 5 jailbreak, Eurogamer reports. The PS2 game was originally released in 2002, and was ported to PS4 by Limited Run Games in 2019. Its role as a key ingredient in the jailbreaking process was announced on December 31.Interested jailbreakers need Racer Revenge to jailbreak PS5 12.00 firmware because of a bug in the game’s Hall of Fame feature, according to Eurogamer. The bug makes it…
2026 is shaping up to be another big year for video games. The next 12 months are set to bring massive sequels like Forza Horizon 6, Resident Evil Requiem, and Gears of War: E-Day. There are also some smaller games we’re excited to get our hands on, like Bubsy 4D, Mouse: P.I. for Hire, and Slay The Spire 2. And of course, there’s Grand Theft Auto 6, which, assuming it doesn’t get delayed again, will close out 2026 with a big, industry-shaking bang. There are so many games to be excited about in 2026 that you might have forgotten about…
In 2022, CDC researchers found an unexpected pattern. Since 1997, there had been seven cases of infections from Bacillus group bacteria producing the anthrax toxin—all in metalworkers. Six of the seven were welders, hence the term “welder’s anthrax,” with the remaining case in a person working in a foundry grinding metal. Of the six cases where a specific Bacillus species was identified, B. tropicus was the culprit, including in the newly reported case. Speculating risks It’s unclear why metalworkers, and welders specifically, are uniquely vulnerable to this infection. In their 2022 report making the connection, CDC experts speculated that it…
For years, LG has opened CES press day with the first event of the morning — and 2026 will be no exception. The Korea-based corporation is theming this year’s presentation as “Innovation in Tune with You,” and — if past shows are any indication — it will highlight both the consumer electronics and large appliance sides of its mammoth global businesses.As with many tech-focused events nowadays, AI is expected to serve as the unifying thread of LG’s CES 2026 presentation. That said, LG — much like Apple — has its own take on the acronym, referring to it as “Affectionate…
Matt Firor founded Zenimax Online in 2007 and helped Bethesda shepherd The Elder Scrolls Online into one of the premier MMORPGs out there. He left abruptly last summer when Microsoft laid off dozens at the studio amid a wider bloodbath at the company and canceled the upcoming online multiplayer game he and others were working on, Project Blackbird. He recently broke his silence on the reason for his departure, confirming what fans had long suspected. “Project Blackbird was the game I had waited my entire career to create, and having it canceled led to my resignation,” Firor wrote in a…
