    Upmarket looks, mass-market price: The 2027 Kia Telluride, driven

    Can confirm, I've seen several of these in-person and they look fantastic. I did a double-take at the grille emblem when approaching from the front and had to walk around back to see what model it was. Also can confirm in-person it looks like it could easily be a new model of Range Rover. If...

    Americans trust Fauci over RFK Jr. and career scientists over Trump officials

    It's my strong opinion that Anthony Fauci should be given a medal (as recognition for his service to the country) and some kind of lifelong stipend where he wouldn't need to work again should he not choose to. The job he did during Covid wasn't perfect but guess what? Nobody knew exactly what to...

    Hyperion author Dan Simmons dies from stroke at 77

    Wow, thanks for this Eric. I read Hyperion in high school many (many!) years ago and it actually had a profound effect on me. It's one of the only novels I've actually re-read multiple times and I actively tell people if they enjoy science fiction they should definitely read it. I can't quite...

    Lawsuit: EPA revoking greenhouse gas finding risks “thousands of avoidable deaths”

    The maggot faithful see the term 'environmentalists' exactly how they see the word 'libs' - just another inferior animal that's fun to piss off and if the environmentalist libs are whining then whatever they're doing must be correct.

    Netflix to pay all cash for Warner Bros. to fend off Paramount hostile takeover

    US government finds new excuse to stop construction of offshore wind

    I've been trying to figure out any kind of actual, real, intelligent justification for NOT diversifying our power generation capabilities as a nation. You know, trying to find the 'why' behind all the vitriol Republicans aim toward renewables. The advantages that come from advancing technology...

    Supreme Court appears likely to approve Trump’s firing of FTC Democrat

    And guess who has appointed THREE of the judges. No president should be able to appoint three judges to the Supreme Court, and especially not Dear Leader.

    CDC vaccine panel realizes again it has no idea what it’s doing, delays big vote

    I had to jump through the legal hoops to fill out my son's vaccine exemption forms this morning and get them turned into his school before the deadline... he is immunocompromised and cannot get some vaccines. Vaccines being attacked in the USA is affecting me and my family. It's truly...

    Republicans once again thwart Trump’s push to block state AI laws

    Thank you! I suppose we can assume that him having a bachelor's in Computer Science is also true.. :eng101:

    Republicans once again thwart Trump’s push to block state AI laws

    Quick question for clarification, does Alex Bores have a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in Computer Science? TFA mentions he has a bachelor's degree but then the final paragraph quote from Bores he says he has a master's degree.

    California says landlords can’t make tenants pay for an ISP they don’t want

    I was part of a scheme like this about 15 years ago when my newly wedded wife and I moved into a townhome with an HOA and come to find out (much to my disdain, this was the era of cord-cutting after all) that the entire community had an ~$30 portion of the monthly HOA dues going to Comcast for...

    Trailer for del Toro’s Frankenstein is pure macabre mythology

    Can't wait for this! I had no idea it was even a thing until this article so thank you for making me aware Miss Ouellette. Checked my local theater listings and it's not showing here, dang it. Also, can't miss a chance to convey my hope for At the Mountains of Madness to see the light of day...

    Oklahoma’s big “TV nudes” scandal was… a Jackie Chan movie on a Samsung streaming service

    What a nice late-Friday surprise! I'm so glad we got the conclusion to this story so soon. It definitely wasn't the explanation that I thought was coming but it is pretty hilarious. The pearl clutchers, the guy fumbling with the remote and hurrying to turn it off.. if they just left it on for a...

    Despite congressional threat, National Academies releases new climate report

    I'd just like to say - I love your comment and it is spot on. You did miss one, though. The nutters I've spoken to that hit all those points also like to point to news articles stating how CO2 is actually a good thing because plants thrive on it and why don't "green" people want more plants on...

    Some dogs can classify their toys by function

    My dog does the same thing! At this point I swear they must make dog toys with some substance on them that dogs learn to know it means 'toy!' Couple examples, one similar to yours. We have kids and they have a ton of stuffed animals. Never once has Dog claimed one for himself and they're always...

    RFK Jr’s anti-vaccine delusions—not science—steer CDC now, ex-director testifies

    So when does brain worm get removed (forcibly or otherwise) out of his position for recklessly endangering the American people? (among about a thousand other egregious offenses that would fall under the same category) If this testimony doesn't get the wheels turning, finally, what will? Also...

    Republicans want to tax EV drivers $200/year in new transport bill

    I bought an EV for my business. I drive it about 10 miles per day on average over the span of a month. How is a flat-rate tax (see also: petty grievance fee) across the entire spectrum of EVs even remotely fair? If my new business car was an ICE vehicle I would be paying a pittance in gasoline...

    Resist, eggheads! Universities are not as weak as they have chosen to be.

    Thank you, Ars Staff! We don't get Opinion pieces from you very often but when we do they're always spot on and greatly appreciated. Got my shiny new badge after freeloading for many years and looking forward to the all the years yet-to-come, may they be many with any luck! Keep up the great...
