Jeff Goldblum Riffing On the Meaning of ‘Ragnarok’ Is Absolutely Delightful

Here’s What You Missed at io9 and Kotaku’s Cosplay Ball

Thanks to everyone who came out to last week’s annual io9 + Kotaku Cosplay Ball during New York Comic Con! It was packed with great cosplayers—to the point that not everyone who showed up could get in (to be fair, we throw a hell of a party). Luckily, we have a massive gallery of those…

Ever since climate change become a widely-recognized problem, international leaders have been looking at forests as one of the best opportunities for greenhouse gas mitigation.

Experiment Confirms a Crucial Property of Electrons, Unfortunately

When it comes to physics, fewer things are more exciting than proving something wrong. Proving theories wrong has led to entirely new fields of study.

Porgs. You haven’t even seen them in a movie yet but you probably already have a strong opinion on them.

The Apple Watch Is Good Now

The Apple Watch Series 3 is crazy expensive for a smartwatch—$100 more than its closest competitors. Many of the third party apps are still slow enough to drive sane people to the brink. It also only lasts a day on a charge. I should hate this watch and everything it stands for, but after three…
