The National Labor Review Board (NLRB) has dropped a case accusing SpaceX of illegally firing eight employees who criticized the company's CEO Elon Musk, The New York Times . The employees were originally fired in 2022 after circulating a letter that referenced reports of Musk's sexual misconduct and called the executive "a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment." The NLRB filed a complaint claiming the firing was illegal in 2024. Originally, SpaceX's opposition to the NLRB's case was that the agency is unconstitutional, The New York Times writes. Complaints about the NLRB's independence and power are not uncommon. Amazon has previously claimed that the board's structure "violates the separation of powers," a critique the company has made even more recently about the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The NLRB dismissed its SpaceX case following an even more unusual line of argument, though: that regulating SpaceX actually f...

Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl made waves even among porn watchers. During the game, Pornhub's traffic crashed the hardest not during the (admittedly snoozy) four quarters, but during the Benito Bowl. Credit: Pornhub Compared to an average Sunday, Pornhub's traffic dropped 46 percent at 8:31 p.m. ET — right around the ending of Bad Bunny's performance. The big dip began between 8:11 and 8:19, and according to Men's Journal, the halftime show started at 8:12 . Football and non-football fans alike turned off explicit content for a few minutes to tune in. SEE ALSO: 11 Super Bowl ads from the past that were actually funny Despite the Patriots' performance, Massachusetts fans had a bigger drop-off on Pornhub around halftime than fans in the Seahawks' home state of Washington: Massachusetts traffic was 44 percent below average at that time, while Washington's was only 14 percent below average. Once the game was over, though, Pornhub t...

The Benito Bowl is only a few days away, and the hype is real. As Bad Bunny prepares to headline the Super Bowl halftime show , fans are already speculating about possible surprise guests. SEE ALSO: Bad Bunny slams ICE during Grammys speech When the Puerto Rican superstar headlined Coachella in 2023, he filled his set with collaborators tied directly to his biggest songs — from Jhayco and Ñengo Flow to Jowell & Randy, Post Malone, and José Feliciano. And he's seen firsthand how powerful the Super Bowl stage can be: In 2020, he appeared as a guest during the Super Bowl LIV halftime show , joining headliners Jennifer Lopez and Shakira at a pivotal moment in his global rise. Now, in position to offer that same spotlight to others, his guest list is likely to be just as intentional. From Cardi B to Young Miko and longtime collaborators like Jhayco, several artists stand out as realistic contenders. Here's who might appear alongside him. Cardi B If there's one g...

Amazon MGM just released the final trailer for its upcoming film starring Ryan Gosling, Project Hail Mary , and it provides our first good look at his five-legged alien co-star, Rocky. The movie adapts a 2021 Andy Weir ( The Martian ) novel of the same name, and follows Dr. Ryland Grace, a scientist who wakes up on a spacecraft far from Earth with no recollection of how he got there or why, only to discover he's on a seemingly impossible mission to stop an extinction event.  If you've read the book, you already know we're in for an emotional rollercoaster with this one, and the latest trailer aptly tugs at our heartstrings with a glimpse of the friendship that grows between Grace and an alien he meets after waking up — and the incredibly high stakes they're facing. The movie will be released nationwide on March 20, but Amazon announced alongside this trailer that it'll be offering tickets for early screenings in premium formats including IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 4DX...

It's Bad Bunny's world, and we're all just living in it. Or at least that's how pop culture feels right now. After winning Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys — a milestone moment for Latin music — and topping Spotify's global charts for a fourth time in 2025 with 19.8 billion streams, Benito now heads to the biggest stage of all as the Super Bowl LX halftime show headliner on Feb. 8, 2026. With that level of cultural gravity, every move feels intentional. Throughout his rise, the 31-year-old rapper has centered his Puerto Rican identity even as his audience went global. In a moment when immigration is once again a flashpoint in American culture — underscored by his recent anti-ICE remarks at the Grammys — that commitment feels sharper than ever. So, as Bad Bunny heads to the Super Bowl stage, the obvious question is simple: What does he choose to perform when the entire world is watching? With a catalog that spans reggaetón, trap, pop, and traditional isla...

The State Department is wiping the post history of its X accounts and making it so you'll have to file a Freedom of Information Act request if you want to access any of the content it removed, according to NPR . The publication reports that the State Department is removing all posts from before President Trump's current term — a move that affects several accounts associated with the department, including those for US embassies, and posts from the Biden and Obama administrations. Posts from Trump's first term will be taken down too.  Unlike how past administrations have handled the removal of social media content and the transition of accounts, these posts won't be kept in a public archive. A spokesperson for the State Department confirmed this to NPR, and said the move is meant "to limit confusion on U.S government policy and to speak with one voice to advance the President, Secretary, and Administration's goals and messaging. It will preserve history while p...

This is probably not something that the Fortnite social media team ever thought it would need to address in public. Epic Games, the developer behind the mega-popular battle royale shooter, had to set the record straight regarding the idea that deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is still alive and playing Fortnite . The company's comms team took to X to publicly denounce the conspiracy theory, which had gained some traction online over the past few days. If that wasn't enough, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney put another nail in the coffin with a post of his own . This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. You may be wondering how, exactly, people came up with the idea that Epstein (who died in prison in 2019) was an active Fortnite player in 2026. Well, with the release of countless documents in the Epstein files , some people on the internet found Epstein's YouT...
