Pokémon Champions App Icon Found in Pokémon HOME Datamine Screenshot: The Pokémon Company Despite being featured in multiple Pokémon Presents, we still do not have a Pokémon Champions release date. In fact, the competitive multiplayer has only had a “2026” release window since it was first revealed at the Pokémon Day 2025 celebration last year. However, the wait may finally be over, as a new leak might have just hinted at its potential launch window. According to a leak posted by Kurt ‘Kaphotics’ on X , a datamine of Pokémon HOME recently revealed the Pokémon Champions app icon. This means that the cloud service is now having assets from Champions added to it. Of course, this has also sparked speculation among Pok...

5 Ways Tonight’s Moon Phase Will Impact You: February 26, 2026

Image
Do you feel in tune with the moon? Many ancient cultures and spiritual practices worship the moon as a deity. Some even say it affects our emotions and energy levels.  I have always felt connected to the moon. Even as a kid, I would stay up late into the night, using the full moon as a reading light. Whether the celestial object actually impacts our internal world is up for debate, but I like to believe in its magic. Today, we are in the waxing gibbous moon phase—the fourth phase of the lunar cycle. This is the last phase of the first half of the cycle. Once we reach the full moon, we enter the second half of the lunar cycle. “The waxing gibbous phase is between a half moon and full moon. Waxing means it is getting bigger,” NASA explains. As such, the waxing gibbous moon symbolizes momentum, inspiration, and perseverance. As the moon gains more light from the sun, you might feel yourself gaining more energy. Today’s moon is also in the water sign of Cancer, an empathetic, se...

‘It Was a Struggle’: Soundgarden Producer Reveals the Album He Was Sure He Would Get Fired Over

Producer Michael Beinhorn has a lengthy and impressive resume, star-studded with the likes of David Byrne, Brian Eno, Hole, Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, and many more. But there was one album that gave him so much trouble he almost feared for his job. Around December 2025, Beinhorn participated in an Ask Me Anything session on the grunge subreddit. There, he took questions from fans about his work, creative process, collaborations, and anything else in between. But many questions and praises centered around Soundgarden’s 1994 album Superunknown . This album process, according to Beinhorn, caused seemingly endless grief for everyone involved. “It was… quite an experience,” Beinhorn recalled when asked about the process. “One of the most difficult recording sessions I’ve ever done. The band and I didn’t see eye to eye on the overall approach, so there was a lot of tension throughout. In a way, I’m surprised they didn’t fire me early on!” Producer Michael Beinhorn Recalls Frustrating Work on...

The ‘Mind Control Latina’ Who Relays Messages From an Invisible Orb

You may have already seen Cristina Méndez ’s videos and mistaken them for an acid flashback. On TikTok , Instagram, and X, Méndez shares mysterious messages she’s received from something called The Orb. She’s often seen gesturing towards the camera with her hand outstretched and her palm open (“take a look”), presenting her 300,000 combined followers with this cosmic ball of energy. The only thing is, most of us would probably describe The Orb as being “invisible” or perhaps even completely made up. Still, that hasn’t stopped thousands of viewers from tuning in to her “orbology lessons.” With dreamy, chopped-up editing and repeat phrases, the videos feel like the kind of on-the-nose subliminal messages you’d find in a cyberpunk b-movie. Meanwhile, Méndez speaks in softly-spoken, paranoia-inducing code about a “crow party,” “the sandwich dimension,” and “the man in the velvet mask”—any of which could plausibly pass for a Manchurian Candidate activation phrase. It’s no wonder some pe...

Daily Horoscope: February 25, 2026

Confidence is easier to access today, but communication can still get scrambled. The Moon supports Mars, then clashes with Venus and Mercury, so desire, feelings, and words don’t always match up. Add Neptune and Saturn in Aries, and we get a collective “enough” mood, with Pluto and Mars in Aquarius pushing people to be blunt and a little unpredictable. Stargazer, keep it simple and keep it honest. Ask one direct question, answer one direct question, and don’t pad your boundaries with apologies. If feelings run high, let them be real without turning them into a spectacle. We can stay human without making everything a scene. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 The urge to overthink finally loosens its grip, and your body remembers what “yes” feels like. A Moon–Mars trine puts wind in your sails, especially with Mars in Aquarius craving bold, slightly unhinged solutions. Aries, say the thing you’v...

Energy’s sharper today, with the Half Moon in Gemini pushing decisions and conversations into the open. Mars and Pluto in Aquarius keep things blunt and a little rebellious, while Venus and Mercury in Pisces make people sentimental, suggestible, and prone to saying too much. Stargazer, expect hot takes, mixed motives, and a few “wait, did I really say that?” moments. The move is simple: ask one practical question, make one real choice, and stop negotiating with your own exhaustion. If someone wants access to you, they can show up clean. If you want something, say it without turning it into a joke. Keep it direct, keep it human, and let the day reveal who’s solid. Read your horoscope for the week , and see what the stars have in store for your sign today.  Aries: March 21 – April 19 Someone’s testing boundaries, and the temptation is to respond like a flamethrower. Mars in Aquarius prefers a smarter burn: say it once, clean, and walk away. Aries, pick the hill worth dying on, th...
