A Chinese satellite almost bit the dust on Tuesday when debris produced by Russia’s 2021 anti-satellite test zipped past at an uncomfortably close distance.
Every time Marvel Studios makes an announcement about its upcoming Moon Knight show, social media is typically blanketed with one of the most famous panels featuring Khonshu’s fist: the hero hunting down Dracula, to get his goddamn money. But, as beloved as it is, it’s not actually a real panel from the pages of…
“I’m gonna find Jake,” the five-time Grammy winner told Stephen Colbert when asked if she’d heard from Swift’s ex about the scarf’s whereabouts.

New Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal is continuing to revamp the company’s leadership. After removing the chiefs of engineering and design last month, Agrawal is bringing in new leaders for the security team.
The company confirmed to The New York Times that former head of security Peiter Zatko has departed, while chief information security officer Rinki Sethi will leave Twitter in the coming weeks. Agrawal is said to have told employees this week that the personnel decisions were made after “an assessment of how the organization was being led and the impact on top priority work.”
Twitter hired Zatko, who’s known as “Mudge” in the hacker community, in November 2020 in the wake of an incident that compromised many high-profile accounts. He previously worked at DARPA, Google and Stripe, and was a member of hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow in the ’90s.
Sethi, a former IBM vice president of information security, also joined the company in the wake of the July 2020 Bitcoin hack. According to the Times, Twitter’s head of privacy engineering Lea Kissner is taking over Sethi’s former position on an interim basis.
Agrawal, who was previously chief technical officer, has wasted little time in reshaping Twitter after taking over the top job from Jack Dorsey in late November. The following month, Michael Montano and Dantley Davis, the former engineering and design heads, were ousted in service of “setting Twitter up to hit its goals.”

Personally, I’ve always been hung up on one thing: I don’t want to wear something on my wrist that…

Oil companies love to tell the world about the super cool technologies that have that will allow us to keep burning fossil fuels without cooking the climate. But those technologies are largely bullshit.
Google’s week of combative antitrust pushback came to a fitting conclusion on Friday with the company filing a motion to dismiss large parts of an antitrust case filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and a coalition of other states.

You can add pet hamsters to the long list of animals known to carry the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2.
