Disney’s latest live-action remake, The Little Mermaid, has been engulfed in controversy ever since the casting of singer Halle Bailey was announced.

A brutal, potentially record-breaking heatwave is setting over the US west, the latest in a string of extreme temperature events that’s putting communities on high alert for heat-related illness and death.

To be clear, the practice of nepotism — people parlaying their own success to benefit their friends and family members, children primarily — predates all of us, going back to the days of the old gods and young Earth. As does the act of identifying, bemoaning, and maybe even admiring it. “Nepo baby” is simply an extension of the “see something, say something” approach to nepotism.

The study, conducted by researchers at National Institutes of Health, found that those who consumed two or more cups of tea a day had between a nine per cent and 13 per cent lower risk of mortality.

A former security chief for Twitter has turned whistleblower and testified that the company misled users and US regulators about gaps in its security. Peiter Zatko also claimed that Twitter underestimated how many fake and spam accounts are on its platform. The accusations could affect a legal battle between Twitter and billionaire Elon Musk, who is trying to cancel his $44bn (£37bn) deal to buy the company.

At the beginning of July, Nancy Davis started feeling nauseous. The Baton Rouge resident considered COVID-19 or the flu, then decided to take a pregnancy test just in case. She saw the two blue lines denoting a positive test and ran to the living room to tell her boyfriend. They were both elated. But their happiness was short-lived. At the first ultrasound, at Woman’s Hospital, the largest birthing center in Louisiana, the technician looked troubled and left the room. A woman in a white coat e...

More major casting is emerging for the upcoming sixth season of Black Mirror, with Under the Banner of Heaven and Signs star Rory Culkin the latest to sign up.

Humans tend to take a lot for granted, even something as simple as a breath of fresh air. It’s easy to forget how much our bodies depend on oxygen—until it becomes an invaluable resource, such as aboard the International Space Station. Although astronauts are typically sent to space with stores of necessary supplies, it’d be too costly to keep sending tanks of breathable air up to the station. Instead the oxygen that astronauts rely on for primary life support is created through a process ...

City lawmakers in San Francisco have introduced a resolution to decriminalize naturally occurring psychedelics, or “entheogens.” The measure would remove criminal penalties for possession of drugs like psilocybin or mescaline—both to reduce criminalization in itself, and to make it easier for people to use these drugs for therapeutic purposes. If successful, San Francisco would join a growing list of cities to adopt similar measures, including Denver, Oakland, Seattle, Detroit and Washingt...

Boss fights are great. Except when they're terrible! Things got heated when the PC Gamer staff debated whether the boss fight is good design or an antiquated videogame trope, so we decided to present our strongest evidence for each case.

Just putting this out there: Joe and Anthony Russo are not filmmakers. The brothers — best known for helming Avengers: Endgame — have just released their latest business venture, The Gray Man, on Netflix. To say they directed it would be a questionable assertion, at least in the traditional cinematic sense. Directed like a VP of Finance might direct a project to implement a new accounting system, perhaps.
