Ever since narratives of the enslaved began to be published in the 18th century, writers have wrestled with how to convey the visceral brutality of slavery without robbing the subjects of their humanity.

Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward.The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London…

With the introduction of the villainous Kang into the MCU in Loki, and now his reappearance in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, diehards fans are reading as much as they possibly can into… well everything. One fan believes that this recently released image of Kang may have been foreshadowed. The image shows Kang sitting on his throne, a symbol that is hugely important to the character in the comics.

Earth was struck by a powerful solar storm event today, December 9, with solar winds traveling as fast as 500 km per second. More storms are expected to follow. In the last couple of days, the threat of fast-moving solar winds has been building up for Earth. An active region on the Sun spewed these magnetized solar particles towards the Earth which have been galloping towards the Earth at a reckless speed of 500 kilometers per second. Yesterday, the first batch of these solar winds struck the Earth and created a…
