Kanye West‘s termination from adidas has reportedly led to the company losing over a billion dollars in revenue for 2023, and the athletic brand could lose even more money as the year goes on. Adidas was forced to sever ties with Ye and his Yeezy clothing line after the controversial Chicago rapper went on multiple antisemitic tirades in 2022. Ye has been relentlessly criticized for months over his repeated antisemitic comments, and despite the pushback and financial loss he’s endured, has continued to double down on his love of bigoted German mass murderer Hitler. In his most recent interview with…

Taika Waititi showed the God of Thunder in a new light with Thor: Ragnarok. While the success of the third installment of the Thor franchise can be majorly linked to Taika Waititi’s direction, it is interesting to think about what would have been made of the film if someone else had been sitting in the director’s chair. Taika Waititi Having directed Pitch Perfect 2 and the Charlie’s Angels reboot and moving on to the third one, Elizabeth Banks revealed that she was quite interested in directing Thor: Ragnarok.

Kanye West’s former attorneys have finally tracked down the elusive artist and cut ties with him, even as he faces a slew of lawsuits, according to reports. Many companies and business partners severed ties with West amid his racist and antisemitic behavior last fall, but his lawyers had to serve him with legally required notice before dropping him as a client.

After the “Runaway” performer had dodged the attorneys, including changing his phone…

MODOK’s upcoming arrival in Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania was punctuated by a new promo that showcases his laser-beaming abilities. While Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror is Ant-Man 3’s main villain, marketing revealed that Scott Lang and his allies will face another formidable foe: MODOK. However, there’s a surprising twist as the main trailer already spoiled that Corey Stoll’s Darren Cross (Yellowjacket) is behind the mask. It is unknown how the Ant-Man villain transformed into MODOK, but Quantumania writer Jeff Loveness hyped up his appearance by saying that the character is “maybe my single favorite thing that I got in the movie.” Now, Marvel showed what the villain is capable of.…
The world’s biggest pest-control group is planning to eliminate rats through the use of facial recognition, with trials now taking place in people’s homes.

Following laboratory trials, which helped the software learn about the creatures, it has now been used in real-life settings. Rentokil says rodents are thought to be responsible for more deaths than all the wars over the last 1,000 years. Andy Ransom, chief executive, told the Financial Times: “With facial recognition technology you can see…

Since the release of “Iron Man” back in 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has grown into an unprecedented pop culture phenomenon. Spanning 30 films over the past 15 years, the MCU already covers quite a few stories and characters. Disney only relatively recently began introducing various MCU TV Series that expand upon the films’ canon and introduce new characters into the mix. With so much content and so many viewing hours, it’s not surprising that viewers may have forgotten about some of the universe’s minor characters throughout the years. While some characters, such as Iron Man and Thor, have starred…
Understanding the thought processes of Paleolithic man is not an easy feat.

According to a renowned scientist, aliens are likely to be just like humans, therefore governments should be ready for the worst if they come to Earth. According to Simon Conway Morris, a professor of evolutionary paleobiology at Cambridge University, extraterrestrials may not only look like humans but also possess traits like aggressiveness, avarice, and a propensity to take advantage of others’ resources. Gallup argued his position in “Extraterrestrial Intelligence: A Cognitive Evolutionary Perspective,” an open-access article that was published in the Journal of Astrobiology this month.

How to find evidence of the existence of technologically advanced civilizations in the universe? It all depends on what exactly you are looking for. After all, it is absolutely incomprehensible what opportunities an extraterrestrial civilization can achieve in the process of its development. This question is directly related to the so-called “Kardashev scale”. A Type I civilization in Kardashev’s scheme can capture all the energy falling on its home planet. A Type II civilization can capture all the energy generated by the parent star. And a Type III civilization can do the same to an entire galaxy. Harvesting the energy…

Locals in Sierra Leone, Africa, were searching for diamonds when they discovered a collection of amazing stone figurines portraying various human ethnicities and, in some cases, semi-human beings. These figures are exceedingly ancient, maybe going back to 17,000 BC, according to some estimations.
