Snickers, get off the cat!

Cat? What cat?

Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

I respect these vets too

Thank you, Sir, for speaking plain truth.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

The Human Flatus Atlas plans to measure the explosivity of farts Feedback is New Scientist’s popular sideways look at the latest science and technology news. You can submit items you believe may amuse readers to Feedback by emailing feedback@newscientist.com It’s a gas Feedback is feeling bold, so here is a prediction: the research we are about to describe is going to win an Ig Nobel award within the next decade. The entire project feels tailor-made for the Igs. It is an effort to objectively measure human flatulence using biosensors, or “Smart Underwear”. We learned of this from a press release from the University of Maryland, flagged to us by physics reporter Karmela Padavic-Callaghan with the phrase: “Surely, Feedback can do something with this.” The essential problem is that we do not know the normal range for flatulence, unlike other key biomarkers like blood glucose. Most studies have relied on self-report, which doesn’t really work because people often don’t remember all their farts and are poor judges of how big each was. Plus there is “the impossibility of logging gas while asleep”: anyone who has shared a bed with anyone else knows that everyone farts in their sleep. Hence the Smart Underwear developed by Brantley Hall and colleagues. The press release calls...

Rep. Massie:  “I've not seen any arrests from the revelations in the Epstein files…Over two dozen people have resigned, CEOs, members of government worldwide. But I haven't seen any arrests or investigations here in the United States from this DOJ.”
