Today I learned that the bees on the Candyman in the original movie were real, including those in his mouth. Actor Tony Todd was fitted with a mouthpiece to protect him from stings. Todd negotiated a $1,000 bonus per sting - and earned $23,000 on top of his base salary.

[NEW VIDEO] In my latest, I apply the first principles of archaeology to the GREAT PYRAMID OF GIZA. It’s a real banger.
It’s got evidence you’ve never seen before, some fun debunks on fake archaeologists, and it features an interview with Dr Zahi Hawass. 🏺🏺🏺

Their goal was straightforward: to establish whether 3I/ATLAS could be seen in radio waves. And their findings now confirm: it behaves like a comet, and not a technological artefact broadcasting radio signals.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

For the first time ever, astronomers have unveiled the shape of a supernova explosion just a day after detection, as the blast was breaking through the star’s surface.
Achieved by our VLT, this feat will help us understand how massive stars die: https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2520/

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004.
Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.
