It was a small gesture, but an important one, and in theory, it could…

[analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/08/Scented-Cleaning-Products-Generic-Wow-1200×675.jpg”] At long last, empirical research has made headway on a pervasive domestic dispute that’s vexed cohabitating couples, spouses, families, roommates, cubicle neighbors, probably cellmates, and (I strongly suspect) astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Should one use scented cleaning products with artificial and/or essential oil-based fragrances in shared spaces and common areas?…

[analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/08/trump-lake-ontario-lake-america-1200×675.jpg”] The Wikipedia entry for Lake Ontario became a battleground for the dumbest culture war of the month on Thursday as supporters of President Donald Trump repeatedly tried to rename the entry as Lake America. Trump signed an executive order in the Oval Office on Thursday declaring Lake Ontario would henceforth be known…

Star Wars fans know that, at the end of the show, Cassian Andor goes off and goes on an adventure that ends in his death. And yet, the show’s finale showed that his long-time love, Bix Caleen, had a child…

The future of the sci-fi mainstay may be in flux, but there’s still plenty to look back on and enjoy. As you’d expect, a host of screenings are planned in celebration, but there are…

[analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/08/DarkMatter_season2_review-1200×675.jpg”] Dark Matter getting a second season was a pleasant surprise. Season one followed Blake Crouch’s acclaimed novel quite closely from start to finish, leaving an open road if the story were to continue. In a recent interview with io9, Crouch called season two “the closest thing that will ever be to a…

[analyse_image type=”featured” src=”https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2026/08/One-piece-heroines-1200×675.jpg”] Watching shonen anime is similar to viewing the world through a magnifying glass. The moment you peer beyond the rim, the world outside of its confines becomes harder to perceive. Only here, the confines tend to be male-centric stories where women in the hero’s ensemble play only a supporting role in the…

It’s not that gaming headsets aren’t great—I’ve used a few impressive pairs this year—but there’s something appealing about the idea of being able to plop my ass on the couch and play cooperatively…

The salad years, y’know? Nothing is gonna beat who you are now. You can’t see all the fucked up shit that’s looming on the horizon. Enjoy this, dude.
