Mike Lindell is an entrepreneur. Unsatisfied with the MyPillow empire built on a product he literally invented in a dream, Lindell set out for political fame during the Trump administration. He’s spent years hawking bogus cures for COVID-19 and promoting feverish conspiracy theories about the 2020 election—some of which sparked a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit. Now the internet’s sweatiest pillow salesman is back with a new venture: he’s taking on Amazon. Top 5 Shopping Tips for Amazon Prime DayOver the past few days,…

Elon Musk will provide financial support to a project using artificial intelligence to digitally unfurl ancient scrolls that'd been unreadable for centuries. Bloomberg Businessweek reported this week on a breakthrough in the project, which is known as the Vesuvius Challenge and run by Nat Friedman, the former chief executive officer of GitHub. A group of contestants successfully took scans of scrolls from the Roman town of Herculaneum, which had been charred by the volcanic eruption that buried Pompeii, and used AI to…

Image: Warner Bros.The Oscars are quickly approaching and the anticipation to see if Ryan Gosling will perform “I’m Just Ken” from the Barbie movie continues to build. Recently Gosling politely declined an invite from Clive Davis to perform it at a Grammys gala, so the film’s music producer Mark Ronson tapped Lainey Wilson to sing the iconic number for the event instead. When it comes to the Academy Awards, however, the hopes are bigger since Gosling is nominated for his role as Ken and the music is also up for a golden…

Bored Panda got in touch with Jhona Yellin, the editor at Bespoke Bride to learn more about what veteran wedding planners have seen. Naturally, we wanted to hear about their experiences with “ruined” weddings and horrible guests.“As our team has been occupied with weddings for the last 13 years (!) we heard our fair share of horror stories about guests who turned weddings into their own personal circus acts. From drunken escapades on the dance floor to dramatic confrontations during the toasts, it seems like some…

All Tara (Mia McKenna-Bruce) wants to do is get to the coastal Greek town of Malia, get some quality time with her BFFs — Em (Enva Lewis) and Skye (Lara Peake) — and spend the next few days getting royally fucked up. This unholy trinity of 16-year-olds have just finished their final exams back in London, and now they’re heading to one of those sunbaked Mediterranean resorts favored by British teens looking to blow off steam. The plan is to use “party” as a verb as much as possible, and the fact that they manage to…

Birdlike dinosaur Eoneophron infernalis was about the size of an adult human. Credit: Zubin Erik DuttaNew findings, including the discovery of Eoneophron infernalis, suggest that dinosaurs, particularly caenagnathids, were not declining in diversity before the asteroid impact, contradicting earlier theories of their vulnerability.Were dinosaurs already on their way out when an asteroid hit Earth 66 million years ago, ending the Cretaceous, the geologic period that started about 145 million years ago? It’s a question that…

Were dinosaurs already on their way out when an asteroid hit Earth 66 million years ago, ending the Cretaceous, the geologic period that started about 145 million years ago? It's a question that has vexed paleontologists like us for more than 40 years.In the late 1970s, debate began about whether dinosaurs were at their peak or in decline before their big extinction. Scientists at that time noted that while dinosaur diversity seemed to have increased in the geologic stage that spanned 83.6 million to 71.2 million years…

Palworld has taken the world and the internet by storm. As of writing, it’s cleared over 7 million copies sold on Steam alone, has the second most concurrent players of all time, and is lighting up Twitter feeds with, you guessed it, discourse. From Nintendo fans upset by its similarities to Pokemon to those accusing the game of plagiarism and AI-generated art, it seems like the internet can't stop talking about the cynical creature capture game. Of course it doesn't help that recent game industry layoffs…

Stay calm, everybody stay calm. But it’s finally happening: The European Space Agency is committing itself to the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), a gravitational wave observatory that will study some of the universe’s most enigmatic phenomena.Alex Winter on the Most Important Modern Horror Movie On Thursday, LISA was formally adopted, meaning that ESA “recognizes that the mission concept and technology are sufficiently advanced,” according to an agency release, and construction on the observatory can officially…
