Netflix’s new miniseries, Death by Lightning, offers a gripping look at one of post-Civil War America’s most shocking stories. Premiering Thursday, the four-part series explores corruption, a last-minute presidential nomination, and an assassination that ended the life of President James Garfield. The series also probes the question: Who was Charles Guiteau?

The series aims to educate viewers while delivering a…

The Motion Picture Association has raised concerns over Instagram teen filters. The organization sent a legal notice to Meta, asking the company to remove the PG-13 label used on its content moderation tools for users under 18. The association said Meta’s claim that its filters follow the PG-13 movie rating system is misleading because Instagram’s automated systems do not follow the curated process used for films. Meta introduced teen-focused filters last month to limit what under-18 users can see. These filters were inspired by the PG-13 movie rating, aiming to help protect younger audiences. However, the association stated that PG-13…

Elon Musk’s new AI-powered encyclopedia, Grokipedia, has drawn criticism from historians and academics for spreading false information and promoting far-right ideas. The platform, launched last week, claims to deliver “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” using Musk’s Grok artificial intelligence model.

Claims about his education, career, and research were all incorrect, highlighting early problems with the site’s fact-checking. Evans also noted errors in entries…

For many, the arrival of shorter days and longer nights brings more than cooler weather—it can trigger a heavy, persistent sadness. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD), formally recognized in the 1980s, describes depression that appears in autumn or winter and lifts with spring.

Modern research now confirms that seasonal changes in human mood are closely tied to biology. Dr Cathy Wyse, a chancellor’s research fellow at the University of Edinburgh,…

While many in Los Angeles endure long commutes and standard office jobs, Sennott focuses on the social-media-savvy crowd who obsess over trends, microcelebrity status, and cosmetic procedures. The…
