Can you feel that chill in the air? Are the trees in your neighborhood shifting shades from verdant greens to crisp reds and oranges? Notice that the sun is setting earlier? Though these are all markers of the beginning of fall AKA the beginning of my seasonal depression, they are also, gratefully, signs of spooky season. Yes, we are entering the period of Halloween, of candy and costumes and creepy things, and the colder temps mean it’s also the perfect time to curl up on the couch with some warm apple cider and a thematically appropriate movie. This round-up originally…

Treasure to Trash and Back AgainAccording to Erin Merani, Hatch’s vice president of marketing, this series of events was not, in fact, a planned marketing stunt, and Hatch is still figuring out the ramifications of the demon discourse. While Merani is glad the ads and programming “caught people’s attention,” she wants to clarify they were all meant for fun, and she’s heartened by how many users have rushed in to defend Hatch.“We saw a lot of community jumping into the comments and saying, ‘Wait a minute, we missed the plot here!'” she says. “This is a Halloween-themed ad about their…
Pokémon Legends: Z-A’s Lumiose City-centric story gestures at the darker sides of living in a metropolis, but it usually does so in an all-ages-appropriate way that might not register for the kids playing the RPG. The supposedly harmonious city’s urban redevelopment plan includes anti-homeless benches? If we’re supposed to be living alongside Pokémon in the Paris-inspired city, why do they live in walled-off Wild Zones? Yeah, they thankfully have free healthcare, but why is Nurse Joy having to take on two jobs as both healer and shopkeeper in this city? Those are questions that hang over a game that is…

3I/ATLAS is the third interstellar object ever discovered in our solar system. Telescope observations suggest it is a roughly 7-mile-wide (11 kilometers) comet zooming at more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h). Astronomers discovered it in early July as it emerged from beyond the orbit of Jupiter. An analysis of the comet’s composition and unusually flat, straight trajectory revealed that it did not originate within our cosmic neighborhood, and was likely ejected from a distant star system long before our sun ever formed.The exotic comet has many peculiar properties, from its chemical composition to its large size. This has fuelled speculation…
In a letter to a House committee last month, legal counsel for Alphabet, YouTube’s parent company, claimed that president Joe Biden’s administration sought to “influence” the company to crack down on Covid-19 misinformation.
