Perhaps the three contestants in today’s match — research scientist Claire Sattler from New York, philosophy professor Ben Chan from Wisconsin, and radiologist Shane Whitlock from Arkansas — will fare better. Here is the question and answer for Final Jeopardy for 2/26/2025, plus the wages and winner for the episode. Final Jeopardy…

A judge has dismissed a 2021 lawsuit against Jeff Koons that alleged his seminal ‘Made In Heaven” series violated copyright protections. The lawsuit, filed in 2010 in New York’s Southern District Court, accused the American artist of infringing on the copyrights of set designer Michael A. Hayden by depicting his sets and props in paintings, as well as other works, in Koons’ sexually explicit series. But US District Judge Timothy Reif concluded Hayden’s claim was time-barred and he waited too long to sue Koons as the works were made more than three decades prior.

For centuries before the dominance of wristwatches, pocket watches were the ultimate symbol of sophistication, status, and technological advancement. They can be traced back to the 16th century, when the development of spring-driven movements allowed for the creation of smaller, portable timepieces. The first truly portable timepiece was the Nuremberg Egg, a small, drum-shaped clock developed in the early 16th century. These early timepieces, often worn on a chain around the neck or carried in a pocket, are considered precursors to modern watches. Unfortunately, they were bulky, inaccurate, and more decorative than functional.By the 17th and 18th centuries, pocket watches…

Generally speaking, the whole reason to make a sequel is name recognition. Studio executives don’t bankroll Space Zombies From Beyond the Stars 4 because they believe deeply in the concept of space zombies and have something personal to say about them; they do it because Space Zombies From Beyond the Stars 3: Brain Drain made a lot of money, and they hope another sequel just like it will also make a lot of money. That’s how the system works.Or at least that’s how it’s supposed to work. Every so often, a sequel emerges from that system that’s a little different than the norm. Maybe it took years or even decades…

Before the Russo brothers return to Marvel to direct two new Avengers movies, they’re releasing The Electric State on Netflix. The film features Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt, in a sci-fi adventure tale about a ruined future after a failed robot uprising. (Apparently a robotic Mr. Peanut also plays a role? I didn’t even know Mr. Peanut was a robot. I thought he was a peanut. You really do learn something new everyday.)The cast and creators involved make The Electric State one of the biggest titles coming to Netflix in March. But that’s all it is; one of dozens of films and shows…

No matter how dragged-out Oscar season can seem, I’m a fan of this time of year—mostly because the focus is on the quality of films, not how much they make at the box office. But there is one aspect of these months of build-up that can be really wearying: Once the Academy Award nominations are announced in January, that means a lot of great movies that didn’t receive a single nod basically drop out of the conversation, leaving us with only a handful of films that are discussed and debated ad nauseam. And in a year as rich as 2024,…

Each year Stonehenge draws more than a million visitors to a spot in southern England about 90 miles from London and 35 miles from Bath. Many of these visitors flock to the site on solstices and equinoxes: On those four dates each year, the barrier surrounding the megalith is lowered and visitors can move freely among the stones. Last year, it even became the site of a major climate change protest. Despite being a magnet for visitors, there’s still much we don’t know about this prehistoric monument, including two important details: why it was built, and what it was used…
