  • North Korea fires intercontinental ballistic missile as US tensions grow - BBCNews

    North Korea has fired a suspected intercontinental ballistic missile Japanese and South Korean officials report.

    Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, speaking at the Nato summit described these actions as a threat to “Japan, the region and the international community” following the missile landing in Japanese waters.

    Pyongyang's launch comes after it threatened retaliation against what it said were recent US spy plane incursions over its territory.

    Washington has dismissed the accusations, saying its military patrols are in line with international law.

    Tensions have been growing in the region, as North Korea has already fired 12 long range missiles this year.

  • Seeing things that aren't there? It's pareidolia - Susan G. Wardle

    Dig into the phenomenon of face pareidolia, which is the tendency of our brains to see faces in everyday objects.

    --

    Imagine opening a bag of chips, only to find Santa Claus looking back at you. Or turning a corner to see a building smiling at you. Humans see faces in all kinds of mundane objects, but these faces aren’t real— they're illusions due to a phenomenon known as face pareidolia. So why exactly does this happen, and how far does this distortion go? Susan G. Wardle explores why we see illusory faces.

    Lesson by Susan G. Wardle, directed by Oksana Kurmaz.

  • Zelensky tells G7 summit Russia does not occupy Bakhmut - BBC News

    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has insisted Bakhmut "is not occupied" by Russia after a Moscow-backed mercenary group had claimed control.

    Ukraine's president was speaking during a scene-stealing visit to Hiroshima, Japan, for the G7 summit.

    Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin had earlier claimed victory in Bakhmut.

    But Ukrainian military sources told the BBC they still had control of a handful of buildings on the outskirts of the city.

    Harry revealed all his nicknames, including “Harry Haz Baz” and “Bazarooney.” The author of “Spare” also showed off the necklace he says brother Prince William broke in that dust-up at Kensington Palace.

    Meanwhile, the tailor from Meghan and Harry’s wedding is speaking out about that time.

  • A Conversation with Kylian Mbappé | Complex

    Six months before winning the World Cup Golden Boot, Kylian Mbappé sat with Complex’s Aidan Galassetti in San Francisco for a rare sitdown interview in June 2022.

    Any nerves Aidan had before speaking to the best young footballer on the planet quickly subsided as the cameras started rolling: just two kids who love football, chopping it up.

    Massive thanks to EA Sports—Mbappé appears on the cover of FIFA 23—for bringing this conversation to life. Let’s run it back soon!

  • Barney Frank on passage of Respect for Marriage Act

    Former Massachusetts Rep. Barney Frank, the first member of Congress to voluntarily come out as gay, attended Thursday’s House vote for the Respect for Marriage Act.

    Speaking after the vote, the 82-year-old Frank said, “I was here for the birth of [the Defense of Marriage Act] so I am very grateful to be here for the funeral. It’s kind of a New Orleans moment: We are tooting our horns for the funeral, a much happier occasion than the birth.”

    DOMA, which banned the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriage, was passed by Congress in 1996 and signed into law by then-President Bill Clinton. Frank was one of 67 House members to vote against the law.

    Frank also touted the work of Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., and defended her decision to not push for a vote before last month’s elections.
