Earlier this week, KISS announced the dates of their final shows ever, culminating with a two-night stand at Madison Square Garden on December 1st and 2nd. Fans wishing that founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss will be welcomed back for those last gigs may not want to keep their hopes too high. In a new interview, singer-guitarist Paul Stanley said he thinks the original lineup would sound more like “PISS” than KISS these days. Stanley and the rest of the current KISS lineup — Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer — appeared on The Howard Stern Show to…

Licensed video games aimed at kids don’t have the best reputation because they were often low-effort titles that were rushed to market in order to make a quick buck. However, that isn’t always the case as evidenced by games like SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake. Justice League: Cosmic Chaos definitely has some of that patented licensed game jank, but its top-notch presentation and attention to detail help elevate this basic action game above any accusations of being a cash-in. Three of DC’s most iconic heroes are at the forefront, as players can control Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Each character…

[]Archaeologists accidentally discovered the world’s earliest horseback riders while studying skeletons found beneath 5,000-year-old burial mounds in Europe and Asia, a new study finds.[]The ancient riders were part of the so-called Yamnaya culture, groups of semi-nomadic people who swept across Europe and western Asia, bringing the precursor to the Indo-European language family with them. The findings strengthen the hypothesis that the horse played an integral part in the expansion of this group, and therefore, in the spread of the Indo-European language.[]The new analysis came from 217 human skeletons from the Pontic-Caspian steppe, a geographical area that runs roughly from Bulgaria…

Here’s the thing that a lot of people may not realize about the United States: it may be recognized internationally as a singular country and culture, but it’s really more like a bunch of cultural regions dressed up in a trench coat and trying to pass itself off as one group, a la those kids who try to sneak into a R-rated movies by standing on each other’s shoulders.

A depiction of an earthquake in a 14th-century Apocalypse. Credit: British Library The catastrophic earthquakes of February 6, 2023 in Turkey and Syria are so far known to have claimed the lives of over 41,000 people. This number will likely grow as rescue and recovery efforts continue. The region has known earthquakes before. In the past century alone, Turkey has seen nearly 20 earthquakes of a magnitude 7.0 or above. Seismic activity is so frequent in this area because it sits on three continually grating tectonic plates. This means the region has a history of earthquakes that stretches far beyond…

As if we learned nothing from the clown panic of 2016, Paramount has reportedly sent a cast of Ghostfaces around the United States over the last few days. Apparently, it’s all part of their marketing ploy for Scream 6, sources close to the film told Variety. Sightings of Ghostface, the knife-wielding villain who haunts Wes Craven’s beloved horror franchise, have prompted 911 calls in cities including New Orleans, St. Louis, and Sonoma, the latter of which being the stand-in for the series’ fictional setting of Woodsboro. Much of Ghostface’s scare factor relies on the fact that his nondescript white mask and hooded black…

Untold Power: The Fascinating Rise and Complex Legacy of First Lady Edith Wilson by Rebecca Boggs Roberts The White House has been home to many deceitful acts. One of the lesser-known frauds occurred between 1919 and 1920, after President Woodrow Wilson suffered a stroke during the peace negotiations following World War I. In the course of several months of diplomacy in Europe — largely at Versailles — Wilson’s condition deteriorated. His wife, Edith, and personal physician would spend the remaining year of the 63-year-old president’s term covering up his physical and cognitive decline.   In her new biography of First Lady…

IT IS the only part of your body that fossilises while you’re still alive,” says Tina Warinner at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany. To see what she is describing, stand in front of a mirror and examine the rear surfaces of your lower front teeth. Depending on your dental hygiene, you will probably see a thin, yellowish-brown line where the enamel meets the gum. This is plaque, a living layer of microbes that grows on the surface of teeth – or, more accurately, on the surface of older layers of plaque. If…

The White House says that China has been working on a balloon surveillance initiative in recent years “that it has used to violate the sovereignty of the US and over 40 countries across five continents,” according to a statement by National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson.

The quail could be the unknown reservoir of the Toscana virus (TOSV) and the Sandfly Fever Sicilian virus (SFSV), mosquito-borne pathogens that can infect domestic animals and also cause disease in humans. This conclusion is drawn from a study published in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology, and which is led by Jordi Serra-Cobo, professor at the Faculty of Biology and the Biodiversity Research Institute (IRBio) of the University of Barcelona, and Remi Charrel, from the Aix-Marseille University (France). This is the first time that researchers find neutralising antibodies to TOSV and SFSV in wild birds. “To date, the reservoir for…

Many educational approaches assume that integrating complementary sensory and motor information into the learning experience can enhance learning, for example gestures help in learning new vocabulary in foreign language classes. In her recent publication, neuroscientist Katharina von Kriegstein from Technische Universität Dresden and Brian Mathias of the University of Aberdeen summarize these methods under the term “multimodal enrichment.” This means enrichment with multiple senses and movement. Numerous current scientific studies prove that multimodal enrichment can enhance learning outcomes. Experiments in classrooms show similar results. In the review article, the two researchers compare these findings with cognitive, neuroscience, and computational theories…
