Lavish clothes worn by royalty and clergy in medieval Christian Nubia have been re-created based on 1,200-year-old murals of these elite people painted in a cathedral.These costumes were made using only fabrics and dyes that were available in medieval, northeastern Africa; Nubia was located in what are now parts of Egypt and Sudan. The clothing then donned by models and presented in performances that brought onlookers to tears.The live portrayals of these elite individuals — two kings, two royal mothers and one bishop — are a “powerful means of communication,” Karel Innemée, an archaeologist at the University of Warsaw who…
When you think of Star Wars, you think of lightsabers. Right? What could be better, from a movie-making standpoint, than a futuristic sword that lets you create awesome fencing duels like in old-time Errol Flynn swashbucklers. (So much better than watching Stormtroopers fire their blasters into walls and ceilings and anything else except their targets.)Lightsabers come in a cosmic rainbow of hues (color-coded blue or green for good guys, red for bad) and a variety of shapes. There’s even a double-bladed version in Phantom Menace. (I don’t want to start a nerd fight—yet—but the best lightsaber battle in the canon…
Since the early days of WordPress, Contact Form 7 has been helping website owners add simple forms to their sites. If you’ve trusted it on your own site, then you made a perfectly reasonable choice that millions of other site owners have made, too. But things have officially changed. At WordCamp Asia 2026, Contact Form 7 creator Takayuki Miyoshi confirmed on stage that the plugin will no longer receive new feature updates after version 6.2. Miyoshi’s focus is shifting to a separate project called Contactable.io, which is currently targeted for 2028. Your existing forms aren’t going to break overnight, but…

“Do you think about me?”So asks a disembodied voice at the beginning of a TikTok from user @velvet.mind. The question is followed by hypnotic synth pulses, hissing static, and sped-up, garbled human speech. An accompanying visual: a montage of immaculately made-up and stylish women who could all be models—indeed, some of them probably are. The text overlaid on the video reads “extreme beauty subliminal.”The minute-long clip has nearly 300,000 likes and 1.4 million views. Why all this engagement for a bit of vaporwave ephemera? Because an online community of young women sincerely believe that sustained exposure to these sounds and…
Ask just about anyone what’s wrong with modern dating and they will likely tell you the same thing: The apps suck. They’re built on a pay-to-win model. Fewer people are finding quality partners. Some studies have even suggested that increased time on them leads to higher depression and anxiety while also contributing to loneliness among men. All told, the pursuit of finding love through a swipe has created a generation of burned out, sexless singles distrustful of dating apps.But the dating apps aren’t the only problem—at least not the main one anymore. According to recent research, the cost of dating…

I’m thinking about turning eBay into something worth hundreds of billions of dollars,” he…
The drip-feed of reveals for the spiritual successor to Marvel vs. Capcom continued this weekend at EVO Japan. Sony and developer Arc Systems took the opportunity to announce two new additions to the roster for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, and they probably won’t be surprising anyone. Savage Hulk and Shuri as Black Panther will be rounding out the Avengers side of the fighting game’s initial 20-character roster. It’s Savage Hulk because in Tokon, S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain America have “exiled” Hulk to the Savage Land because of his “overwhelming power and instability.” Hence, the dinosaur bone armor. Hulk will have a…
An upcoming PvP Assassin’s Creed with the codename “Invictus” has been rumored to be in the pipeline for years. Youtuber Jonathan, who has shared accurate leaks in the past, now claims to have been told about a private playtest for the spin-off held last month. The results, they claim, aren’t so great, leading to speculation that the negative feedback could imperil the game’s ongoing development as Ubisoft cuts projects right and left. The alleged leaks compare Assassin’s Creed Invictus to Mediatonic’s slapstick mega-hit Fall Guys. Given the codename and the team behind it, For Honor’s Ubisoft Montreal, it should be…
