Conspiracy

Across the 75 years since something—something—crashed outside Roswell in early July 1947, the very name itself has taken on a life of its own: Today, it’s shorthand for UFOs, extraterrestrials, and a vast government conspiracy, perhaps even where the very idea of the deep state itself was born. The city of 50,000 in southeastern New Mexico, about three hours from Albuquerque and El Paso, has leaned into its infamy: There’s a UFO museum, a space walk, and even a flying-saucer-shaped McDonald’s, not to mention any number of…

Naturally, there are spoilers ahoy for Oppenheimer. For the first time in his filmmaking career, Oppenheimer features a full-blown sex scene directed by Christopher Nolan, so it’s only fitting that it’s ended up generating controversy and potentially offended up to a billion people worldwide. If anybody else had directed the biographical thriller about the father of the atomic bomb, you can guarantee they’d have turned the legendary “I am become Death, destroyer of worlds” quote into a money shot for the trailers and…

And it’s creeping into the Republican race for president. Some conservative opponents of sustainability have focused their attacks on a concept of urban development popularized in Europe called the 15-minute city — the idea that resources like grocery stores, schools and hospitals would be within walking distance of people's homes to lower the…

If you’ve ever felt like you need more hours in the day, well how does 60 sound? A new study suggests we’d have 60-hour days by now if a stalemate between the Sun and Moon hadn’t interfered with Earth’s rotation for over a billion years.A day seems like a pretty stable amount of time, but in fact today is longer than this same date was a century ago – albeit by a mere 1.8 milliseconds.

After hanging up the phone, she called her brother’s girlfriend, telling her the same story before pulling onto the shoulder of the road. According to Russell’s mother Talitha, the last thing that could be heard on the phone was Russell asking someone if they were alright. “ never heard the child say anything but then she heard our daughter scream,”…
