The largest uninhabited island in the world is a cold, empty, bleak place. It’s a perfect spot, perhaps, if you’re a muskox. Or hellbent on getting to Mars. Otherwise, Devon Island, in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago west of Greenland, remains uninhabited for a reason. It is a barren 21,000-plus square miles of rock and ice that is so unsuitable for living that the indigenous people of the island, the Inuit, left there for good in the 1930s....

Pickling is enjoying a comeback in American cuisine. Once a standard kitchen practice, home food preservation dwindled in the pro-industrial, pro-consumer climate that reigned over the last half of the 20th century. Today however, small-batch artisanal pickled products are popping up at specialty food shops and farmers markets across the country. These next-generation picklers offer everything from classic sour pickles to spicy pickled okra. The DIY community has also jumped in the proverbial pickle barrel, filling their crafty, food-focused blogs with odes and how-to recipes for all things briny and stuffed into mason jars....

When Tatiana Maslany was cast as Jennifer Walters, some fans were shocked as they had expected Marvel Studios to cast an actor of equal stature to She-Hulk. Those even acted surprised when it was confirmed that She-Hulk would be entirely CGI.Although, it didn’t help when the first trailer for She-Hulk: Attorney at Law didn’t give audiences the best impression of the effects. However, that criticism seems to have softened as the series has aired....

Over the past couple of years, comic book movies have begun to dip their toes into the concept of the multiverse, an idea that’s been well-utilized for decades in the pages of DC and Marvel comics. After the overwhelming success of Sony’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the floodgates opened and more studios appeared much more open to expand on the multiverse in their big-budget projects. Both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Extended Universe are set to embrace the multiverse, starting off with WandaVision for Marvel and The Flash for DC....

Back when Loki was properly announced, fans had no idea what to expect. Sure, it was going to at least solve his hanging plot thread from Avengers: Endgame, but how? A little tease during 2020’s Super Bowl commercials gave fans a small indication as to where the show was going in the form of the Time Variance Authority. Additionally, many rumors pointed to the series having multiple different Lokis. ADVERTISEMENT...

Marvel Studios’ forthcoming streaming series Echo will see the return of Alaqua Cox’s Maya Lopez. Maya originally debuted in Hawkeye, where she proved to be a thorn in both Clint Barton’s and Kate Bishop’s sides. As the series progressed, it was eventually revealed that Lopez was actually working for none other than Wilson Fisk, with Daredevil actor Vincent D’onofrio once again playing the role of the fearsome New York crime boss....

Natalie Portman’s Jane Foster shockingly appeared in a newly revealed set design photo from Disney+’s first season of Ms. Marvel. Portman’s astrophysicist took on the powers of Thor himself in Thor: Love and Thunder, but she seemingly died and went to Valhalla in that movie’s post-credits sequence The future for her MCU hero is currently unknown with no confirmed next appearance on the docket. Portman has said she is “open to anything” when it comes to another MCU return, but with her character having only appeared in Thor films up to this point, the next Asgardian adventure could be years away....

Master of Disguise This article isn’t about a news item. Rather, it’s more a celebration of how fascinating nature can be, and how it can sometimes be so damn cool that it actually blows our mind! The Mimic Octopus aka Thaumoctopus mimicus, which was only discovered in 1998 off the coast of Indonesia, is simply amazing (Brian wrote about it a few years ago). I’ve compiled a few videos that show it in action....

There is more to a house than just walls. Danish company COBOD tells the truth about it. We have long been skeptical about 3D printing of buildings, calling it a solution looking for a problem. Most of the printers we have seen and shown squirt concrete out of a nozzle on a robotic arm and slowly build up layers of wall. But in normal construction, walls are the quickest part of a building and only a fraction of the cost of the finished, useful structure....
