SportsCenter anchor Gary Striewski is taking flak for an awkward interaction with the PGA golfer Sahith Theegala’s fiancée, Juju Chan. Striewski said in a TikTok video that he ran into Theegala and Chan at a coffee shop in Connecticut during the Travelers Championship, which took place just a half hour from ESPN’s campus in Bristol. The 39-year-old explained he recognized Chan from her social media videos and just so happened to be sitting next to her, so while Theegala was waiting for their coffee, he leaned over and said, “Has anyone spotted you yet?” Striewski said Chan looked at him…

Researchers have proposed creating a novel satellite constellation, dubbed StormWall, that could shield Earth from the worst effects of solar “superstorms” that we are otherwise unable to mitigate. The innovative idea, which would essentially create a giant airbag in front of our planet, could prevent trillions of dollars in potential damage and is “quite feasible,” experts say.Over the past few years, we have been bombarded by dozens of solar storms as the sun reached the most active phase of its roughly 11-year solar cycle, called solar maximum. These events are often triggered by large clouds of incoming plasma, or coronal…

Meta secretly hired hundreds of contractors to pose as teenagers online and bombard rival artificial intelligence chatbots with prompts about suicide, sex, drugs and eating disorders in an effort to test their safety systems, according to a report.

Contractors were instructed…

The democratic socialist darling has frequently been tipped to run for either the White House or Senate two years from now. Last year, she gloated…

With age comes wisdom — and hormonal changes. Conan O’Brien found that out after an unexpected exchange revealed a surprising reason behind a shift he’d noticed in himself. Andropause — often dubbed “male menopause” or “manopause” — describes the age-related decline in testosterone levels that many men experience later in life.
