A NASA-built spacecraft will deliberately crash into an asteroid as part of a test mission later this month. The spacecraft, known as Double Asteroid Redirection Test (Dart), is expected to collide with a 170-metre wide (560ft) asteroid named Dimorphos at 12.14am UK time on 27 September. Dimorphos is no threat to Earth but it has
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng has announced that April’s National Insurance hike is to be reversed from 6 November. The 1.25 percentage point increase was introduced under former chancellor Rishi Sunak, but during the Tory leadership race Liz Truss pledged to change it.

A new wave of a mobile surveillance campaign has been observed targeting the Uyghur community as part of a long-standing spyware operation active since at least 2015, cybersecurity researchers disclosed Thursday.

From Weird Science to Bella Porch’s “Build a Bitch,” there’s no shortage of stories about people using technology to fulfill a fantasy. So the moment A.I. art generators hit the mainstream, we knew that legions of horny nerds would use them to make their own porn. But alongside the more juvenile attempts to render the
I already like this song 1000 times better. Kip Moore put out two new live performance videos of his recent singles, “If I Was Your Lover” and “Fire On Wheels.” He actually just released the duet version of “If I Was Your Lover” with Morgan Wade last week, and of course, Morgan made the most of
Julian Taylor “Seeds” Toronto’s Julian Taylor has followed up his award-winning album The Ridge with a forthright protest album, Beyond the Reservoir. On “Seeds,” Taylor adapts the evergreen resistance phrase, “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” The song is a joyous affirmation of what makes us all unique —
Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin are moving towards a settlement in their ugly divorce, putting a hold on court proceedings to hammer out a deal in private … and shockingly, we’re told there was no prenup in place. According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Sly and Jennifer both requested an order of abatement
Redmi Note 11 Pro variant could be unveiled soon by the Chinese smartphone company. The Redmi Note 11 lineup, which included the Redmi Note 11 Pro and the Redmi Note 11 Pro+ 5G, debuted in India earlier this year. It appears that the Xiaomi sub-brand will soon launch a refreshed model from this series, believed
It’s both awe-inspiring and humbling to peek at Nile Rodgers’ day-to-day schedule. Earlier this month, to borrow one slightly extreme example, the producer-guitarist left Monaco the morning after a gig so he could get to London in time for a Taylor Hawkins tribute show. Immediately after that, he’d fly back to Monaco to perform a
The interest rate has been raised to 2.25% – the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis. The Bank of England’s half a point hike followed a three-way split in the voting. Financial markets had widely expected the Bank to follow the US Federal Reserve last night with a 0.75 percentage points rise but economists
“Boys don’t cry” — this stale narrative has done a lot of harm. Men’s emotions are devalued. They are pressurized into a performative model of masculinity that completely removes empathy out of the equation. As a result, men are always expected to be strength personified. Their breakdowns and mental health issues are pushed under the
Albert Cheng is moving up at Amazon.

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and his opponent, retired Long Beach Police Chief Robert Luna, agreed on very little at their first debate ahead of a face-off in November, save for their mutual love of “The Big Bang Theory” and the Dodgers. Their appreciation of Sheldon and his friends elicited a high five between
The US central bank has imposed its third major interest rate rise in a row. The Federal Reserve has once again hiked rates by 0.75 percentage points in an effort to curb soaring inflation. The widely-expected rise will mean more expensive borrowing for the likes of mortgage holders and those paying credit card debt. American
Vladimir Putin’s nuclear threats are part of a desperate attempt to justify his “catastrophic” failure in Ukraine, Liz Truss has said. In her first speech on the world stage as prime minister, Ms Truss accused the Russian president of “sabre rattling” after he said that his country would use “all the means at our disposal”
A now-patched critical security flaw affecting Atlassian Confluence Server that came to light a few months ago is being actively exploited for illicit cryptocurrency mining on unpatched installations. “If left unremedied and successfully exploited, this vulnerability could be used for multiple and more malicious attacks, such as a complete domain takeover of the infrastructure and
Nobody would want their sexts entered into the public record, and thankfully, most of us will never suffer that humiliation. But if you’re Adam Levine, the married frontman of Maroon 5 who “crossed the line” (his words) in conversations with Instagram model Sumner Stroh, you might reasonably expect those lewd messages to leak at some
If you’re still replaying Logan Mize’s older songs, know that you’re not alone. But Logan just dropped another single to add to the mix, and it kind of snuck under the radar. Titled “Albuquerque,” it is a break-up ballad guaranteed to draw your listening ear with a catchy metaphor comparing betting in roulette to betting on
New music from Scotty McCreery is on the horizon. The country hitmaker has surprise-announced an upcoming deluxe edition of his 2021 album, Same Truck.
