This Scammer Used an AI-Generated MAGA Girl to Grift ‘Super Dumb’ Men

This Scammer Used an AI-Generated MAGA Girl to Grift ‘Super Dumb’ Men

Published by skeptic

Like many medical school students, Sam was broke. The 22-year-old aspiring orthopedic surgeon from northern India got some money from his parents, but he says he spent most of it subsidizing his licensing exams, and he’s still saving up to hopefully emigrate to the US after graduation. So he started searching for ways to make additional money online. Sam, who requested a pseudonym to avoid jeopardizing his medical career and immigration status, tried a few things, with varying degrees of legitimacy and success. He made YouTube shorts and sold study notes to other med students. It wasn’t until he started scrolling through his Instagram feed that he landed on an idea: Why not make an AI-generated girl using Google Gemini’s Nano Banana Pro and sell bikini photos of her online? But when Sam started posting generic photos of a beautiful, scantily clad woman on Instagram, he was dismayed to find that none of the content was hitting. He turned to Gemini for advice. “If you create a generic ‘hot girl,’ you’re competing with a million …

Pedro Pascal Didn’t Know He’d Be in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show

Pedro Pascal Didn’t Know He’d Be in Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Show

Published by Daniella Wilson

Pedro Pascal didn’t know he’d be involved in Bad Bunny‘s 2026 Super Bowl halftime performance until right before he was being brought onto the field. The Last of Us actor reflected on his cameo in the Grammy Award winner’s monumental Super Bowl performance in a profile with Fantastic Man. Pascal admitted that he reached out to Bad Bunny’s team about participating somehow, even if that meant he’d be volunteering or serving coffee. “I wanted to participate in any way — literally a volunteer position, like serving coffee if needed — and I put the feelers out through people I work with,” he said. “When it comes to representation synchronized with celebration there’s no one better than Benito at the moment, and that fills me with inspiration outside of just being super into his music.” The Emmy nominee explained he went into shooting Tony Gilroy’s Behemoth! and hadn’t heard back from Bad Bunny’s team, so he “sent someone an email with a selfie of me sticking my tongue out, being, like, ‘It’s really me.’ Within 25 …

The Pinter countertop home brewing machine can now automatically make super popular Lagunitas beer at home

The Pinter countertop home brewing machine can now automatically make super popular Lagunitas beer at home

Beer is easy to drink and even easier to screw up when you try to make it at home. It literally feels like working in a lab. There are carboys, airlocks, hydrometers, wort chillers, mash temperatures, sparge water ratios, and more cleaning than most people anticipate. Even getting a passable first batch requires a modest equipment investment and a willingness to troubleshoot. I have tried a few friends’ home brews that obviously didn’t work out just right. Blech. The Pinter is a countertop machine that automates most of those issues away. You load in an ingredient pack, add water, seal it, and wait a few days. The same vessel that ferments serves as the tap. Now Lagunitas has partnered with Pinter to put an adapted version of one of their recipes into that system. The collaboration starts with Sumpin’ Easy, a citrus and pine-forward American …

UK weather: Temperatures to rise again as Met Office says ‘super El Niño’ is brewing

UK weather: Temperatures to rise again as Met Office says ‘super El Niño’ is brewing

Published by Sam Flores

Temperatures are set to rise again this week after Britons basked in one of the warmest recorded starts to April. Last Wednesday, 26.6C was recorded at Kew Gardens in southwest London, making it the hottest day of 2026 so far. Following a cooler weekend, temperatures are expected to rise slowly and could reach 18C by Friday in London, and 16C in Manchester. Springtime temperatures are forecast into the weekend, with highs of 17C on Saturday and 16C on Sunday. The news comes as forecasters suggest a brewing El Niño weather event could reach “super-strength”, further intensifying global warmth over the next year or so. The term El Niño is used to describe the warming of the sea surface temperature that occurs every few years, usually in the central-east equatorial Pacific. When sea temperatures in the tropical region rise by more than 0.5C, the long-term average, an El Niño event is declared. El Niño is felt strongly in the tropical eastern Pacific with warmer-than-average weather. Warm springtime temperatures expected this week with highs of 18C forecast …

Is a super El Niño imminent, and what could the impacts be?

Is a super El Niño imminent, and what could the impacts be?

Published by skeptic

A super El Niño led to flooding in China in 1998 ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images In the past month, weather models have begun to show that a very strong El Niño climate phase could develop later this year, potentially the strongest we have ever seen. Many are calling this a “super El Niño” or even a “Godzilla El Niño”. It could bring droughts to some areas of the world, floods to others and set the planet up for the hottest year on record. “The forecast from now is warming faster in the tropical Pacific than at any other time so far this century,” says Adam Scaife at the Met Office, the UK’s national weather service. “So something unusual is going on.” What is a Super El Niño? El Niño is a natural climate pattern that raises temperatures and disrupts weather around the world. It typically happens when the trade winds blowing east to west over the tropical Pacific weaken, reducing the upwelling of deep cold water and allowing warm surface water to slosh back …

Super El Niño 2026: What It Means And What To Expect

Super El Niño 2026: What It Means And What To Expect

Published by Sam Flores

Expert comment provided by Professor Emeritus of Geophysical and Climate Hazards at University College London, Prof Bill McGuire. He is also the author of The Fate of the World: A History And Future Of The Climate Crisis, due out on 21 May. The start of spring is usually considered a little early to predict a weather phenomenon known as an El Niño, which involves the warming of the ocean surface and is linked to extreme weather events. That’s down to a factor called the “spring predictability barrier”; from March to May, the climate systems of the Pacific Ocean are unusually unpredictable. But many experts have cautiously done so anyway. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association has given greater odds than ever that we’ll have an El Niño in place by midsummer. Every single model ensemble member involved in the recent European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts release – and there were over 20 of them – said there’s likely to be a pretty strong El Niño by June. In fact, some predict a “super El …

Nintendo drops new Switch 2 ‘Super Mario Galaxy’ bundle

Nintendo drops new Switch 2 ‘Super Mario Galaxy’ bundle

Published by skeptic

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has not been especially well received by critics, but it is serving one important purpose: introducing new people to the two excellent games it was named after. And for a limited time, you can get in on the fun with a discount. Nintendo announced a temporary promotion from April 12 to May 9: anyone who buys a Nintendo Switch 2 console alongside Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 (the official name of a package containing both games) will get $20 off. This offer works with either the physical or digital version of the Galaxy games, but only if you get a Switch 2 at the same time. You also need to buy them from a participating retailer, which includes Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target, and GameStop. If my math is right, participating in this promotion would cost a total of $500 between the Switch 2 and the games, down from a total of $520 before taxes. It’s not a huge discount, in other words, but considering how infrequently Nintendo discounts …

Super Mario Galaxy Crosses $600 Million Globally

Published by Daniella Wilson

Illumination and Universal’s The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is enjoying a stellar second weekend, soaring past the $300 million mark domestically and $600 million worldwide. The sequel is the first Hollywood pic of the year to accomplish either milestone. It’s expected to top the weekend chart with nearly $70 million in domestic ticket sales for an estimated North American tally of $308.1 million through Sunday. Overseas, it is on course to earn another $90 million from 81 markets for a foreign tally of $327 million. Amazon MGM Studios’ Project Hail Mary, now in its fourth outing, also remains a force of nature. The Ryan Gosling-led space adventure looks to earn another $28 million this weekend for a domestic cume in the $258 million range through Sunday. A24’s provocative film The Drama, starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, is holding in better than expected, dropping just 21 percent to $9 million for an early domestic total of $31 million for A24. That leaves Universal’s new romancer, You, Me & Tuscany, looking at a solid fourth-place finish with …
