The boxy model strongly resembles the company’s Soul (Kia did make an electric Soul at one point) and has very similar dimensions, though it’s slightly shorter in height and length.

As age-verification laws continue to dismantle the adult industry—and determine the future of free speech on the internet—a Utah lawmaker proposed a bill this week that would enforce a tax on porn sites that operate within the state.Introduced by state senator Calvin Musselman, a Republican, the bill would impose a 7 percent tax on total receipts “from sales, distributions, memberships, subscriptions, performances, and content amounting to material harmful to minors that is produced, sold, filmed, generated, or otherwise based” in Utah. If passed, the bill would go into effect in May and would also require adult sites to pay a…

At magnitude -2.7, Jupiter will outshine every star for many weeks.(In astronomy, a lower magnitude corresponds to a brighter object. Sirius, the…
