Puka Nacua, a star wide receiver for the NFL‘s Los Angeles Rams, apologized Thursday for a gesture he performed earlier in the week on a livestream with Adin Ross and N3on. As seen in footage shared on social media from the livestream Tuesday night, the athlete rehearsed the action after Ross and N3on suggested that he include it in a forthcoming touchdown celebration during a game. The gesture has been criticized as antisemitic. “When I appeared the other day on a social media livestream, it was suggested to me to perform a specific movement as part of my next touchdown…

CubeSats have been a ubiquitous part of the satellite industry for nearly a quarter-century. They are based on a cube-shaped design, measuring about 10 centimeters per side, but can be scaled from a single cube “unit” to three, six, 12, or more, depending on mission requirements. The CubeSat standard has become a popular choice for commercial companies, the military, NASA, and universities looking to build small satellites on a tight budget. By one measure, nearly 3,000 CubeSats have launched since the first one soared into orbit in 2003. After originally being confined to low-Earth orbit, they have now flown to…

Presenters and winners soldiered on bravely with a traditional award presentation that felt awkward for the lack of video clips to demonstrate the nominees’ work, although audio of each clip did run. The video clips did run without interruption on the live stream.

Imagn Images The Seattle Seahawks tied the Los Angeles Rams in the fourth quarter off one of the strangest plays you’ll ever see … and yet another reminder to play through the whistle.With Seattle down 30-28 after Sam Darnold’s touchdown pass to A.J.

Can swearing help you push through a workout or other challenging physical task? According to a new study published on Thursday in the journal American Psychologist, dropping that F-bomb does more than express your frustration at a physically intensive situation. It can help you focus more, let go of whatever is holding you back and help you finish the task. The study proposes that “swearing, a simple and universally accessible linguistic tool, can function as an effective intervention to counteract tendencies to hold back, and enhance performance,” says Richard Stephens of Keele University’s School of Psychology.The study was conducted by four researchers from…

Congress named the center after President John F. Kennedy in 1964, after his assassination. Donald A. Ritchie, who served as Senate historian from 2009-2015, said that because Congress had first named the center it would be up to Congress to “amend the law.” Richie said that while Trump and others can “informally” refer to the center by a different name, they couldn’t do it…
