The small town of Avdiivka, which is right on the front lines, has become the center of the war in Ukraine. It is still – just – in Ukrainian control, but Russian troops and guns surround it on three sides. The Russians hit the town so hard that it’s hard to recognize. What used to be the town’s largest buildings are marked by concrete shells that float in small hills of rubble. A bomb hit the town’s church and broke the cross on top of it in half. It now points accusingly at the Russian lines. In the rubble, Russian…

Microsoft said on Friday that a hacking group called Midnight Blizzard, which is also known as APT29 or Cozy Bear and is thought to be backed by the Russian government, had hacked into some corporate email accounts. These accounts belonged to the company’s “senior leadership team and employees in our cybersecurity, legal, and other functions.” It’s strange that the hackers didn’t try to get customer data or other common company data that they might have.

In her lawsuit, Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird says that TikTok hosts “sexual content, drugs, alcohol, intense profanity, self-harm messages, and other X-rated content,” which means that kids and teens in the state can easily find videos that aren’t appropriate for their age. The lawsuit says that TikTok tells Iowa parents and kids that inappropriate content on its platform, like drugs, nakedness, drinking, and bad language, is “infrequent.” The lawsuit calls those claims “lies.” The state is…

This is a big step forward in an observation that was first made in the early 1980s. What they saw was: The research team, led by molecular biologist Masatsugu Toyota from Japan’s Saitama University, published their findings in the journal Nature Communications in October 2023.

Not At All, But… Scientists are more excited than ever about the rumour that the James Webb Space Telescope has found a planet with clear signs of life, according to Ars Technica.

A deputy…

You probably remember the last time you heard a loud boom. When an aeroplane flies faster than sound, it makes a loud bang that sounds like an explosion. It can be scary and even break windows. Sonic booms are one reason why there aren’t any supersonic passenger planes flying right now. They were also one of the things that kept Concorde from being successful after it stopped flying in 2003. The supersonic airliner could only fly at subsonic speeds over land or near coastlines. Today, international rules still say that commercial flights over land can’t go faster than Mach 1,…

His followers had braved the bitter cold to give him the win. Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis, two of Mr. Trump’s top opponents, did not emerge as a clear front-runner, so the vote against Trump is still split. At the same time, Vivek…

NASA had hoped that the Artemis II mission would bring humans back to lunar orbit in November 2024, but those big plans have been put on hold. NASA officials said on Tuesday that Artemis II won’t take off until at least September 2025. They said this was because the equipment needed to keep astronauts safe is still being tested. The next mission, Artemis III, to land on the moon has been pushed back to 2026 because of this delay. It looked like 2024 would be a big year for space. To be fair, it still is.

The year 2023 was known as “superhero fatigue.” If the problem is real or not, it seemed like the movies that used to seem as bulletproof as their main characters were having trouble at the box office. Some superhero movies did okay, but a lot of them did not do at all what people thought they would. Even though Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is one of them, the movie is still doing much better than some of its peers. Aquaman 2 has made about $334 million around the world so far, which is a lot less than the $1…

The Golden Globes were useful because they helped “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things” with their Oscar campaigns and started the farewell tour for “Succession.” However, Sunday’s televised event also reinforced the idea that Hollywood has a hard time saying goodbye to people who give it awards. The 81st Golden Globes ceremony took place, but similarities to earlier events should be done with a warning. That’s because the Globes have gone through big changes as an organization. They got rid of the scandal-plagued Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. (HFPA) and set up a new, improved voting group with more members under the direction…
