Collin Mayfield is an American journalist who has covered conflict in countries around the world, in Ukraine , Haiti , Syria , Lebanon , and Myanmar . While I was sitting at my desk the other day, he messaged to say he’d had his foot blown off by a landmine, and did I want to know more? I said, yes, absolutely! We caught up with him as he recovered in Poland.   VICE: How did you come to step on a landmine in Myanmar? Collin Mayfield: I was on a reconnaissance mission, embedded with the People’s Defence Force-Zoland, part of the Chin Brotherhood Alliance, in Tedim Township, Chin State. I was with the commander, Gideon, another officer, and a few soldiers. The officer and I were in an SUV and he flew a drone. Some soldiers rode motorcycles to scope out different areas. Everything was going perfectly fine. No o...

Today, Nickelodeon is synonymous with neon green slime. The disgusting, gooey substance has become part of their brand identity. Generations of children all dreamed that one day they’d have the opportunity to be slimed. But just how did this idea come to be? Well, according to Nickelodeon legend, it largely happened by mistake. This Forgotten Nickelodeon show is responsible for slime In 1979, Nickelodeon premiered a kid-friendly version of Saturday Night Live! The show, You Can’t Do That On Television, featured a sketch where a young boy had a bucket of slop dumped over his head. According to the legend, due to long filming days (those child labor laws), the slop transformed into a green, gooey substance resembling slime. From there, Nickelodeon realized they’d struck gold, and kids received a $50 bonus for each sliming. The recipe changed over time, too. On Double Dare , it was reportedly a mixture of vanilla pudding, oatmeal, applesauce, and green food coloring. However...

There’s a low-grade restlessness in the air today that most people will feel before they can name it. The Moon is moving through a tense stretch of the sky, squaring some of the heavier hitters along the way, and emotions have a way of showing up uninvited on days like this, and expecting to be dealt with. Something about what you need versus what you’ve been willing to say out loud is getting harder to ignore, stargazer. The Sun squaring Eris is giving everyone a sharper edge than usual — that’s not a warning, just good to know going in. Let what’s true have some air today. It’s been waiting long enough.

A new leak claims that Resident Evil Requiem DLC won’t be released until after the Resident Evil Veronica remake. If true, that means the RE9 story expansion won’t be out until 2027. But is this latest rumor true? Resident Evil Requiem DLC Release Date Reportedly Pushed to 2027 Screenshot: Capcom Although Capcom has already released the Leon Must Die Forever mini-game in May , there have still been no updates about the Resident Evil Requiem DLC. However, a new leak now claims that the RE9 story expansion could be further out than many players might have initially expected. According to Capcom leaker Dusk Golem, the Resident Evil Requiem DLC isn’t releasing until after Resident Evil Veronica in 2027 . If accurate, it would mean the story expansion potentially releasing a year and a half after RE9 originally launched. This would be quite the long wait! Dusk Golem made the claim in a recent post on X. Screenshot: X @AestheticGamer1 “Word in the grapevine is ...

Wednesday has some tension in it. Mercury squaring Saturn puts a wall between thoughts and words for most of the day, so don’t be surprised if conversations feel harder than usual or if something comes out wrong on the first try. The Moon conjuncts Saturn in Aries, too, stargazer, which adds a heaviness that’s less about drama and more about accountability — something that’s been sitting on the back burner is ready to be dealt with. The saving grace is that Venus is still holding its conjunction with Jupiter, which means underneath all that pressure, there’s true warmth available. Today asks the people willing to feel something instead of manage it. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 When things get too still, you start poking at them, and you know exactly what I’m talking about. Not because anything is actually wrong — just because calm has nev...

Tonight, June 9, Venus and Jupiter will appear just 1.6 degrees apart in the western sky during twilight, about three times the width of a full moon, and close enough to fit inside a standard pair of binoculars. The nights on either side will look nearly identical, so don’t stress if clouds roll in. To put that distance in perspective: hold up a single index finger at arm’s length. That’s the gap. Both planets will be visible to the naked eye, no gear required. Your best window is roughly 45 minutes to two hours after sunset, and you’ll want a clear view of the western horizon, according to Live Science . Here’s the part that’ll mess with your head a little: the whole thing is an optical illusion. Venus and Jupiter aren’t actually anywhere near each other. Venus sits about 1.2 astronomical units from Earth right now; Jupiter is about six. One AU equals the distance between Earth and the sun, which means Jupiter is five times farther aw...
