Another TikTok video Degeling shared with WIRED showed a slow-motion, close-up angle of the bullet hitting Kirk’s neck. The tone of the video was conspiratorial: The user who uploaded it added spooky music and a digitally narrated voice, asking, “What is the black thing on his shirt and why did it move like this before he got shot?” As of Thursday morning, the video was still online. It had been up for eight hours and had more than 900 comments (with many saying the “black thing” was a microphone).As of Thursday morning, on Instagram, a search for “Charlie Kirk shot”…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Climb Greater Heights? The story behind the story is my life. I didn’t write Climb Greater Heights because it was a clever business move. I wrote it because life demanded it of me—and so did my clients. I was born in Gostivar, a small town in the Republic of North Macedonia, where I grew up amidst illness, bullying, and uncertainty. Then came war. At nineteen, I was conscripted into the Yugoslav army to fight in a conflict I despised. Fourteen months later, I was alive—but broken. My mother, desperate…

Unusual clouds form over the Martian volcano Arsia Mons each yearESA/DLR/FU Berlin/J. Cowart CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO A thin cloud that appears on Mars each year has baffled astronomers ever since it was first spotted, but it may be the result of a moisture-rich atmosphere that was thought impossible. Each winter, an 1800-kilometre-long cloud forms near Mars’s Arsia Mons volcano in the south of the planet, appearing and disappearing every day for nearly three months. The conditions in Mars’s atmosphere are markedly different to Earth’s, such as containing many more small dust particles that can trigger water vapour in the…

It’s sad to have to admit but a certain two word review came to mind while watching Rob Reiner’s belated and wholly unnecessary return to the world of adorably clueless British hair-mettlers, Spinal Tap. Not straight away mind, as the film delivers a scintilla of what turns out to be false hope in its opening scenes in which Christopher Guest (as Nigel Tufnel), Michael McKean (as David St Hubbins) and Harry Shearer (as Derek Smalls) show that they’ve been keeping their character traits and accents in cold storage for all these years, so the potential for magic is there.And yet, no-one has a clue…

Atlantic Music Group CEO Elliot Grainge is contemplating the current and future uses of artificial intelligence in the music industry. And while the young executive believes today’s audiences have a desire to connect with human artists, he’s unsure how future generations will interact with the technology.   “Within music, how will Gen Alpha and Gen Beta, how will their relationship with art and artists be different to these generations that have grown up understanding the importance of artistic integrity and real energy and real people making real music in their art form?” Grainge asked the audience at the 2026 Trapital…

Egg clutch sampled for chronological studies. Credit Dr. Bi Zhao. In the Cretaceous period, Earth was plagued by widespread volcanic activity, oceanic oxygen depletion events, and mass extinctions. Fossils from that era remain and continue to give scientists clues as to what the climate may have looked like in different regions. Now, researchers in China have examined some of them: dinosaur eggs found at the Qinglongshan site in the Yunyang Basin in central China. This is the first time that dinosaur eggs have been dated using carbonate uranium-lead (U-Pb) dating. The team has published its results in Frontiers in Earth…

Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider explained why classic-era bassist Mark Mendoza won’t be joining the band on their newly announced 2026 reunion tour.”I can only simply say irreconcilable differences and leave it at that,” Snider told radio host Eddie Trunk on Wednesday. “I can’t get into the weeds. I can’t go down that path and I won’t, but irreconcilable differences, and people change. I’m not saying he changed. Maybe we changed, whatever it is.”In Mendoza’s place will be Russell Pzutto, who played on Snider’s last two solo albums, 2018’s For the Love of Metal and 2021’s Leave a Scar, and served as Mendoza’s…

I feel like Pixar’s Elio got a little bit of a bad rap. It did not perform well at the box office, and articles in the trades at the time of its initial release detailed its “catastrophic” journey to theaters, including the departure of one director and heavy rewrites of the film’s storyline and characters.I never saw the original concept for Elio. Maybe it would have been a masterpiece that would put the version released to theaters to shame. But … I quite enjoyed the Elio we got. It was a sweet and charming movie about a lonely orphan who discovers the community he’s always wanted among…

The tropical vlei rat has fur that shimmers with iridescent huesJessica Leigh Dobson More than a dozen mammal species shimmer and glint purple and green, like precious opals. Their fur is iridescent, meaning its colour appears to change depending on the animal’s orientation relative to the viewer. The effect is similar to an oil slick’s colourful sheen, or the metallic dazzle of hummingbird feathers – and it’s more common among mammals than biologists thought. Jessica Leigh Dobson at Ghent University in Belgium was studying colour in mammals using specimens at the Royal Museum for Central Africa, also in Belgium, when…

There’s a man face down in the sand, unmoving. Nothing but vast golden sand dunes and endless blue sky surrounds him. Then, his body twitches awake. This is the raspy and rugged Tom (Sam Riley), who regularly wakes up hungover on the beach or by the pool or in his car with no recollection of how he got there. This jarring opening to German director Jan-Olé Gerster’s first English-language film sets the stage for one man’s wandering descent into a shrouded mystery that shifts between thrilling and sluggish.Combining Hitchcockian thrills with a seductive European sensibility, Islands is a slow-burner set in an all-inclusive Canary…
