Science Reveals the Right Way to Treat a Man O’ War Sting

Stings from a Portuguese man o’ war are as common as they are dangerous, yet there’s a lack of consensus over the best way to treat these painful pricks. New research published in the journal Toxins reveals that stings from the man o’ war (Physalia species) shouldn’t be treated any differently than stings from jellyfish,…

Everything the Defenders Trailer Tells Us About What’s Going on in Marvel’s New York

We got a good look at Netflix and Marvel’s Defenders today. As usual, we’ve broken down the trailer and examined every scene, comparing it to what we know for certain and what we’ve heard rumored. Join us, won’t you? Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) is once again in custody. She’s got cuffs on that I think…

Farms Could Be Changing the Climate in Ways You’d Never Expect

Back on a crisp January day in 2016, I slipped around on a frozen lake in Wisconsin to ask a bunch of portly men in grey hoodies and trucker hats how the fishing had been compared to when they were kids. Secretly, I wanted to know what they thought about the changing climate. The men…

Chill Out to This Galaxy-Sized Wave of Hot Gas Swirling Through the Void

It’s another casual day in space discovery: Apparently, an international team of scientists has found a giant wave of hot gas chugging along through the Perseus galaxy cluster, located about 250 million lightyears away.

Here Are a Bunch of People Mark Hamill Freaked Out During ‘Force For Change’ Promo

Wow, Brad Pitt Is Paranoid as Fuck

Brad Pitt’s had a rough few months. His soon-to-be ex-wife kicked him out of the house, amidst allegations that he was drinking and smoking too much weed. Pitt ended up sleeping on a friend’s floor, where apparently, hackers got involved. A splashy new GQ Style feature on the Twelve Monkeys star details Pitt’s newfound sobriety,…

Facebook Will Add 3,000 More People to Watch Murders and Suicides

Facebook has a problem. Not the one where they admitted to being a megaphone for propaganda and psy-ops. Or the one where they narced on at-risk teens. No, today’s news concerns how the social giant/massive data collection scheme has (increasingly) become an unwilling platform for users to broadcast violent crimes, sexual acts, child exploitation, and…

The Handmaid’s Tale Gives More Proof That Men Are Monsters

I’m guessing the fourth episode of The Handmaid’s Tale will go down as the slowest episode of the season. It’s a lot of set-up and world-building, going further into the role that women are forced to play in this man’s world. However, that’s kind of a blessing. In a horrific dystopia like Gilead, sometimes you…

The First Look at Hulu’s Runaways Is Full of Angsty Teens With Terrible Parents

The Defenders trailer gave you a team of foul-mouthed adults with bad coping skills, and now the first look Runaways are its lighter teen equivalent. Less binge drinking, similar amounts of angst, and a whole lot more mommy and daddy issues. Also, one of these kids is clearly an outspoken feminist. From the looks of…

Why the Hell Doesn’t the Surface Laptop Have a USB-C Charger?

Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop yesterday, and our first impressions of the device were great. It’s super thin, looks like a Macbook, and somehow manages to cost less. But there was one glaring weakness we couldn’t get over: It uses a proprietary charging cable rather than USB-C, the new standard that many other modern laptops…

A 80-mile-long crack along Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf has remained stable since February, but scientists have now detected a new branch, one that’s extending about six miles from the main rift.
