Bloodborne, the 2015 PS4 exclusive by Elden Ring developers From Software, is one of the best video games ever made. There's simply no way of getting around that. Its dark, moody world, its razor's-edge gameplay, its unsettling cosmic horror – other games have tried to captur...
'A thunderous sneeze is a learned behavior,' says Mas Takashima, chair of the otolaryngology department at Houston Methodist. He told The Washington Post that 'you hardly ever hear anybody sneezing boisterously in Japan. It's frowned upon to create such a loud noise, to...
'It's not practical to think we can do due process for 8 million people,' says a born US citizen who reads the news for a living. As if discussing returning a product to Costco, Fox host Brian Kilmeade determined due process of the law to be cumbersome and thus not...

Unsurprisingly, the Trump Administration is openly taking corporate sponsorships. The White House Easter Egg Roll has long been funded by the American Egg Board, which is funded by a 'self-tax' on cases of eggs by their producers and authorized by Congress under the Egg...
23andMe, the company that provides a tentative review of your ethnic history in return for drinking your family's genetic milkshake, is bankrupt. CEO Anne Wojcicki is out. 23andMe is using the Chapter 11 proceedings to facilitate a sale process to maximize the value of its...
Detentions of tourists, often in unpleasant conditions for extended periods, are in the news. One academic was denied entry to the U.S. because his phone reportedly contained comments critical of Donald Trump. Is it safe to travel into the U.S with your devices? — Read the re...
Minecraft can be made more beautiful with shaders, but it can be quite a chore to set them up and the game's default look is long in the tooth. The forthcoming 'Vibrant Visuals' update promises to bring the latest graphical trickery to the blocky world without losing the...
The tone is angry ('Poorly Analyzed US-Centric Garbage') but the point is a salient one: the European world of 8-bit and 16-bit computer gaming is improbably excluded from retrospectives. Put simply, American journalists think nothing was going in in Europe because so few...
Homeworld, the slow-burning deep space strategy game, is one of my favorites of all time. Coldly evocative of the artwork of Chris Foss, Peter Elson, John Harris and others, the art stuck with me longest. I remember noticing the odd style of the backgrounds, technical yet...
Three million views in two days might sound like a lot – until you remember this is Kanye we're talking about. Avowed Nazi and acclaimed rapper/producer Kanye West's reputation has utterly tanked recently, likely due to that 'avowed Nazi' thing – if you haven't scrolled...
Sometimes art imitates life in the most beautiful ways. When artist Anh Dang first drew a cute little one-off piece of a crab-shaped Playstation console – or maybe a crab shaped like a PlayStation console – she likely expected it to stop there. — Read the rest The post...
There are a surprising amount of rules and regulations on lobster fishing – at least in Maine, which has been the forefront of the industry for decades. Egg-bearing females, as well as lobsters over or under a certain weight, have to be thrown back by law, but of course...

2019's Control (read our review here) was an excellent singleplayer experience from Remedy, a studio specializing in excellent singleplayer experiences. Their trademark (and weakness, to some detractors) is the way they put storytelling first, weaving together gameplay,...
I fell in love with the American woodcock—what CornellLab's All About Birds website describes as a 'plump little shorebird'—at the beginning of the year, after seeing this video of the charming bird strutting its stuff, which was taken by Keith Ramos at Moosehorn...
The proboscis monkey doesn't get enough attention, in my opinion, so I'm here to spread some long-nosed love! I recently heard some of the noises that male proboscis monkeys make, and boy, I was NOT prepared. Have you heard them? Sometimes they sound like they're saying...
Psychrolutes microporos, a deep-sea fish with the unflattering nickname 'blobfish,' has gone from being called the World's Ugliest Animal to Fish of the Year. The fish gained internet fame when a photo of a pink ball of goo with a big nose called Mr. — Read the rest The...

AOC joined Bernie on his 'Fighting Oligarchy' tour and drew a record-breaking crowd together. An estimated 34,000 people gathered in Denver's Civic Center Park to hear US Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) advocate...
