Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is exhausted. He’s back at home having taken 19 flights in 20 days to promote his first novel Chain-Gang All-Stars, which came out in the US in May. “It was kind of brutal,” he says, though he admits that one of those flights served to transport him to his best friend’s bachelor party in Cartagena, Colombia’s Caribbean party town. How is he holding up? “The events were good. Everything else in between was a little rough. I’ve been acting as though I’m done, but I’m not – yesterday, I realised I…

Rogues are always an enticing class to play as in RPGs like Diablo 4. These characters have plenty of different tricks and options open to them, making them versatile, but always deadly, no matter what World Tier you’re on. With so many options to pick from, such as melee or ranged, trap types, and different status effects, it can feel overwhelming when trying to figure out what is worth investing in to make a powerful Rogue. Rather than tinker endlessly with all the possible combinations of this class, we’ll give…

President Joe Biden has vetoed an effort by Congressional Republicans to roll back the first update to heavy truck pollution standards in 22 years. The new soot standards targeted by Republicans are estimated to save thousands of lives and tens of billions of dollars.

via 20th Century Fox Thanks to the latest speculation to sweep the internet, optimists are taking a rumor and running with it as confirmation that Marvel Studios has finally settled on a principal cast for the long-gestating Fantastic Four reboot. Of course, it probably shouldn’t need to be pointed out that it’s best not to take anything at face value until it comes directly from the studio, but that hasn’t stopped the daydreamers from fantasizing about what WandaVision director Matt Shakman’s blockbuster could…

Imagine a physicist observing a quantum system whose behavior is akin to a coin toss: it could come up heads or tails. They perform the quantum coin toss and see heads. Could they be certain that their result was an objective, absolute and indisputable fact about the world? If the coin was simply the kind we see in our everyday experience, then the outcome of the toss would be the same for everyone: heads all around! But as with most things in quantum physics, the result of a quantum coin toss would be a much more…

Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 premiere in Los Angeles yesterday was certainly a doozy. Bringing an end to an MCU storyline unlike anything the franchise had seen before or since, it seems fans are in for an intergalactic finale set to stun.

Senate republicans, joined by Joe Manchin, have voted to roll back the first update to heavy truck pollution standards in 22 years.

But it’s just another sign from Senate republicans that they want to kill Americans and cost them money. Heavy duty trucks are a primary contributor to harmful air…
