While there’s no evidence of anyone interpreting the meme as a violent threat to school kids, there was a “national uproar” when Bushart’s story started spreading online, his complaint noted. Bushart credits media attention for helping to secure his release. The very next day after a local news station pressed Weems in a TV interview to admit he knew the meme wasn’t referencing his county’s high school and confirm that no one ever asked Bushart to clarify his online remarks, charges were dropped, and Bushart was set free. Morrow and Weems have been sued in their personal capacities and could…
We here at Kotaku have…complicated, multifaceted feelings on Mega Starmie. The Mega Evolved starfish started out being seen as one of the silliest new transformations in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, then turned out to be one of the MVPs of the RPG. Despite all the endearment I feel toward Mega Starmie and its weird long legs and arms now, seeing the thing in the Pokémon anime series has reawakened my innermost disgust reflex. I have many questions about this creature, but as far as the show goes, one comes to the forefront: Why does it look like Mega Starmie has been…
Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, may be hiding a habitable world of slushy sea ice, new research hints.Back in 2008, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft gathered data on Titan that suggested an open ocean might lurk beneath the moon’s frozen crust. But the new analysis hints that what lies underneath is instead “slushy tunnels and pockets of meltwater,” according to the investigators.The results, published Wednesday (Dec. 17) in the journal Nature, have large implications for our understanding of how common water is on other worlds. If confirmed, the work may also influence our search for life on other worlds, as water is a…
NASA has a leader again. On Wednesday, the US Senate confirmed Jared Isaacman as the agency’s administrator, with a 67-30 vote. The billionaire entrepreneur (and Elon Musk ally) will have his hands full navigating political waters while managing a severely downsized workforce.You might recall that this wasn’t Isaacman’s first shot at the job. He was nominated to the post earlier this year. But days before he was scheduled for a confirmation vote, President Donald Trump withdrew his nomination.The reversal reportedly came after the president was told that Isaacman had donated to prominent Democrats. (Trump’s description of his decision, as based…
Now, finally, he will get a chance to act, rather than react to everyone else. As the Project Athena plan clearly demonstrates, Isaacman has a good handle on the problems besetting NASA, an aging and increasingly bureaucratic agency. NASA can still do great things, but it has become almost infinitely harder since the heady days of Apollo six decades ago. Isaacman has ideas to shake things up, but not to the extent of wanton change for the sake of change. It is clear from the interviews he has given to others, and in talking to him myself, that Isaacman is…
Animal Crossing: New Horizons hasn’t received a major update since 2021, and Nintendo previously showed no interest in continuing development on the five-year-old game. It was a huge surprise when Nintendo, in October, announced that Animal Crossing: New Horizons would get not only a Nintendo Switch 2 edition, but a 3.0 content update, too. On Oct. 30, Nintendo dropped a 12-minute video breaking down the new details and gave press an early, hands-off look earlier in December. Nintendo previewed the update in a 25-minute demo covered by IGN, which said the update is largely focused on design and decor and…
Written by Margaret Deahn, Ph.D. student at Purdue University NASA’s Mars 2020 rover is currently trekking towards exciting new terrain. After roughly four months of climbing up and over the rim of Jezero crater, the rover is taking a charming tour of the plains just beyond the western crater rim, fittingly named “Lac de Charmes.” This area just beyond Jezero’s rim will be the prime place to search for pre-Jezero ancient bedrock and Jezero impactites — rocks produced or affected by the impact event that created Jezero crater. The formation of a complex crater like Jezero is, well… complex. Scientists…
LG is teaming up with Dolby for a new collection of speakers that the companies are unveiling ahead of CES 2026.

For most of photography’s roughly 200-year history, altering a photo convincingly required either a darkroom, some Photoshop expertise, or, at minimum, a steady hand with scissors and glue. On Tuesday, OpenAI released a tool that reduces the process to typing a sentence. It’s not the first company to do so. While OpenAI had a conversational image-editing model in the works since GPT-4o in 2024, Google beat OpenAI to market in March with a public prototype, then refined it to a popular model called Nano Banana image model (and Nano Banana Pro). The enthusiastic response to Google’s image-editing model in the…
Extraction shooter and recent Game Awards winner Arc Raiders just dropped a massive, winter-themed update. Cold Snap, as it’s called, adds a map condition that can cause frostbite, a timed event that lets players earn rewards (including Raider Tokens), a Candleberry Banquet project that also offers up some currency and cosmetics, and, apparently, way more generous blueprint drops. A popular post on the official Arc Raiders subreddit titled “Keep the blueprint drop rate” argues for developer Embark Studios to make the alleged changes to said drop rate permanent. “Instead of sitting on gear and going with free loadouts, this incentivizes…
