One of the most enduring symbols of those “times that try men’s souls” is the bright yellow Gadsden flag. With its coiled timber rattlesnake, emblazoned with the infamous words “Dont treat on me” (without the apostrophe), the cryptic reptile slithered its way into the American imagination long before the bald eagle. “The next time you see a rattlesnake, or hear its warning rattle, consider it a reminder,” the United States Fish &…

“Big combined libraries push companies to double down on proven IP because it travels, merchandises, and reduces marketing risk,” said Robert Rosenberg, a partner at the New York law firm Moses Singer focusing on intellectual property, entertainment, technology, and data law. Rosenberg also expects to see a “tilt toward” live events, sports, and unscripted content “for retention” if HBO Max sells. In the shorter term, Rory Gooderick, research manager at analyst firm Ampere Analysis, predicted that WBD will be “cautious when greenlighting new large-scale projects until” the acquisition is finalized. Beyond the potential HBO Max sale, more merger activity could…

When drought hits, tropical forests in Panama have a “rescue strategy” to adapt to the lack of water by sending their roots deeper underground, a new study has found. But scientists warn this may not be enough to save them from the ravages of climate change.Tropical forests are home to more than half of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity and store large quantities of global carbon. A lot of this carbon is held in their roots below ground. However, climate change is pushing up temperatures in these forests and is expected to bring extreme droughts.In a new study, published Nov. 21…

Most Apple products are pretty expensive, but some of the most affordable (and useful) ones are AirTags. The Bluetooth trackers are priced pretty reasonably even when not on sale, but they can be a steal if you can get them on a discount — like right now. A four pack of AirTags is on sale for $65 at Amazon, which is only a few dollars more than the record-low price we saw during Black Friday a couple of months ago.AppleThat’s a near-record low price on the Bluetooth trackers.  $65 at AmazonAirTags can be useful for people who travel frequently, helping…

Once you’ve created appointment types, set calendar availability, the last step is to customize the design. (Acuity also makes it easy with step-by-step instructions with an easy-to-navigate design that tells you what percentage of the scheduling page is complete.) The design comes prefilled, but you can customize the text to say anything you want, with different options for font and color palette. You can go with one of the dozens of premade color presets, or make your own palette from a specific color or image. I thought the premade palettes were well-designed with tons of options, so I decided to…

One of the many concerns about artificial intelligence these days is how the rush to build data centers is impacting local communities. Data centers can create a drain on resources, and some utility companies have already said customers can expect to see their electricity bills growing as these facilities increase demand. There have been some discussions of what other power sources could support the AI engine, and wind power specialist Airloom is one company that’s looking to address the problem. Ahead of the business’ upcoming appearance at CES, we’ve learned a bit about what Airloom has accomplished this year and…

The winter months and post-holiday slump are notorious for their ability to turn even the most prepared person into a lethargic lump until the spring thaw. But if it makes you feel any better, you aren’t alone in the sluggish lifestyle. The staff at the Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore, Maryland, recently extended a sympathetic hand to the slimy mollusks with a few bits of trivia on their neighborhood slug population, who they describe as the “ultimate slow movers.” For one thing,…

Obsidian’s Avowed is one of the better action-RPGs released in 2025. While it doesn’t reinvent any particular wheel, it benefits from an engaging campaign, fun combat systems, and charming characters. Aside from the occasional bug–a common element of Obsidian’s open-world games–and an overabundance of homicidal bears, I liked nearly everything about the game. That includes Avowed’s most controversial game mechanic: enemy respawns, or the lack thereof.When it comes to RPGs, players often think of a few key elements. Some sort of leveling system, quest-granting NPCs, obtainable loot that bolsters certain “builds” or playstyles–you know, the basics. One feature that’s common…
