The Marvel Cinematic Universe has something for all fans coming in the next couple of years, especially with the franchise fully embracing the cosmic storyline going forward. One of those cosmic movies is 2022’s Thor: Love and Thunder, which will bring the first time any MCU hero has starred in four solo films. Leading actor Chris Hemsworth is back for his ninth outing as the God of Thunder with an all-star cast of Guardians and As-guardians by his side....

Although a house can feel empty when you’re the only one home, it isn’t really. A typical human household includes roughly 100 species of insects, spiders and other arthropods, and according to a new study, there isn’t much we can do about it. Arthropods might make lousy company, but their presence shouldn’t necessarily bug us. Many come inside by accident, researchers say, and very few cause any trouble. The vast majority are harmless, and some can even be helpful....

Puffins are famous for their colorful bills, but they only sport such vivid oranges and yellows during part of the year. As spring as breeding season starts, the puffins’ beaks become brightly colored. The larger and more colorful beaks may be a sign of being more experienced and healthy, and thus a better mate. But during the winter when puffins have no need to show off, the bills are just faded ghosts of their vibrant summer selves....

National almond, walnut and pistachio crops are very thirsty, and predominantly grown in drought-stricken California; if you’re looking for alternatives, consider these. The great nut hubbub of 2015 reared its head earlier this year when Mother Jones published an eye-opening exposé on the incredible demands that California’s almond crop requires of the state’s dwindling water supply. A gallon of water per almond seems like a lot to be asking from the parched state, which is facing one of the most severe droughts on record....

Animal rights refers to the belief that animals have an intrinsic value separate from any value they have to humans and are worthy of moral consideration. They have a right to be free from oppression, confinement, use and abuse by humans. The idea of animal rights may be difficult for some people to fully accept. This is because, throughout the world, animals are abused and killed for a wide variety of socially acceptable purposes, though what is socially acceptable is, of course, culturally relative....

November’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever brings the Marvel Cinematic Universe back to T’Challa’s home country for the first time in over three years. While the sequel will move forward without its king, Black Panther 2 promises to be both a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman and a critical introduction to two major MCU players. Aside from the debuts of Namor and Ironheart, Wakanda Forever will bring back most of the ensemble from 2018’s Black Panther....

It has been known since at least the early 1980s that director Steven Spielberg said he had plans to direct a film adaptation of DC’s Blackhawk with Dan Aykroyd attached as the titular hero.Decades later, on April 17, 2018, it was announced that Spielberg would not only produce but direct his long-proposed adaptation of the DC character. It would be a thrilling tale of a mysterious man leading a small team of ace pilots during World War II....

When you look on the website for the Boar electric fat bike you see all the images of young people going up and down hills in Whistler, BC.

There is no “fixing” climate change. But the biggest wins are still ahead. I’ve been fairly clear about my belief that disasterbation turns you blind, and I’ve argued that climate change could still be compatible with a brighter future. Indeed, many of my frequent disagreements with dear Lloyd Alter stem from my optimist tendencies and his pesky habit of asserting a dose of reality into the mix. But I must say, recent headlines have me spooked....

Anthony Thistleton makes a persuasive case in a new book, 100 Projects UK CLT. A year ago, after listening to Anthony Thistleton of Waugh Thistleton Architects speak, I wondered what’s the best way to build in wood? Should we be using mass timber when alternatives are more efficient in their use of material? Now, Anthony Thistleton answers loud and clear: essentially, yes, and the more, the merrier. He has just published a new book, 100 Projects UK CLT, which shows the phenomenal growth in the use of wood, demonstrated in “100 hundred ground-breaking CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) projects, demonstrating the UK’s leading position in the use of cutting edge technology to develop buildings from precision engineered timber modules....

Here is a pretty cool idea that holds a lot of potential for being green and effective, and yet is using already-out-dated technology that strips it of that status. Altierre Corp. is working on getting supermarkets to replace the price tags on aisle shelves with LCD screens that can update prices at a whim in seconds. They say this is “green” but we have some serious issues with their concept. Facts first....

When mint juleps are served at the Kentucky Derby, they’re made with mint simple syrup. It’s a way to make the cocktails more quickly than muddling fresh mint and sugar together for each individual drink. The celebrated horse race is on hold this year until September, but that doesn’t mean all the traditions need to be tossed. If you’re planning on hoisting a Derby Day drink, using mint simple syrup can make it easier for you to make mint juleps for guests, too....

Who could Zoe Saldana play in James Gunn’s upcoming DC Universe (DCU)?That’s a question many were asking after the filmmaker revealed that he’s likely to hire the actors from his Guardians of the Galaxy projects in new roles over with DC Comics and Warner Bros. (WB). Their final solo movie will bring the final story for this version of the team, meaning many of them will be free from their Marvel obligations after 2023....

After years of technical hiccups and plenty of fan outcry, Marvel’s Avengers even botched the announcement that it would be shutting down. The Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics-developed Marvel multiplayer title has been suffering since it hit PlayStation and Xbox back in 2020. After the title was met with dismal reviews, technical issues, and a lack of end-game content, the Avengers team has been behind the eight ball, shifting content road maps, adjusting in-game purchases, and doing the best they could to patch the significant number of holes in this leaky ship....
