Manitoba could be the first province in Canada to establish a social media ban for kids, but the proposal’s details aren’t very clear yet. The province’s premier, Wab Kinew, announced during a fundraiser event on Saturday and on X that Manitoba would put in place a ban for social media and AI chatbots for its youth.”They’re doing these very awful things to kids all in the name of a few likes, all in the name of more engagement, and all in the name of money,” Kinew said at the event. “Our kids will never be for sale and their attention…
Something strange has been swirling in the waters around Antarctica. From the 1970s until a decade ago, the floating sea ice that radiates from the continent had been expanding, even with climate change already in full swing. Then, in 2016, it suddenly and dramatically contracted — and has yet to recover — as rising global temperatures seemed to catch up with the Southern Ocean. Far from being just a local issue, the loss of sea ice has huge implications for Antarctica’s vast ice sheet, which would drive sea levels up 190 feet if it disappeared.Now, scientists say they’ve identified what’s…
If your spider-sense is tingling, perhaps it’s because Prime Video released the official full trailer for its upcoming live action series, Spider-Noir, at CCXPMX26 in Mexico City over the weekend. As it did with the first teaser back in February, the streaming platform released the trailer in two formats: one in black and white (above)—very Raymond Chandler-esque—and another in color (below), which the showrunners are calling “True Hue.” As previously reported, Marvel Comics created its “noir” line in 2009, reinterpreting familiar Marvel characters in an alternate universe, usually set during the Great Depression in the US. A version of the…
In My Hero Academia, protagonist Deku is a typical shonen hero: naive, brave, determined, and really, really corny. The voice actor behind Deku, Justin Briner, is a certified shitposter who’s been known to channel Deku’s whiny pleading for a laugh (with great power comes great responsibility, and even greater joke potential). Briner’s latest such foray involves a now-deleted Tweet and a streamer scandal. Sykkuno, a popular livestreamer known for his gaming content and “wholesome” personality, has been having a rough go of it lately as accusations that he’d been unfaithful to his girlfriend reached a fever pitch, ultimately resulting in…

According to screenshots shared with The Washington Post, board members received a message that their position was “terminated, effective immediately.The NSB establishes policies for the National Science Foundation (NSF), the independent US agency responsible for apportioning about 25 percent of federal support towards research conducted by the country’s colleges and universities.

Underneath the park, red-hot magma reservoirs flow, superheating hot springs and geysers like Old Faithful. This vast volcanic system is known as the Yellowstone Caldera, and with one blast it could plunge the world into chaos. About two million years ago, as sabertooth tigers and mastodons roamed the future United States, Yellowstone was a powder keg. Large amounts of hot magma accumulated beneath the Earth’s crust, building pressure and volcanic gases that…

The team conducted a second metal-detector survey, geophysical survey, and then a more targeted archaeological excavation. The dig revealed two more concentrations of coins, which expanded the excavation area even more. The…
Day two of the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival 2026 kicked off in Anaheim, California, yesterday, following the announcement on April 24 that a new expansion for the MMORPG, titled Evercold, will be dropping in January 2027. While reactions to the upcoming expansion have been positive, the inclusion of AI-generated art during a panel by Square Enix localizer Christopher Koji Fox struck a discordant note that bummed some fans out.
