Uragasaurus kalasinensis: New dinosaur discovered in Thailand
Palaeontologists in Thailand say they have discovered a new species of dinosaur from fossils found in Kalasin Province in the country's north-east.
The plant-eating dinosaur, named Uragasaurus kalasinensis, is thought to have lived about 150 million years ago.
It had an unusually long neck and measured up to 20m (66ft) - roughly the length of a cricket pitch.
Dr Apirut Nilpanapan from Thailand's Mahasarakham University, the study's lead author, told BBC Thai that the specimen was part of a large fossil collection from a site first identified in 2008, when a local man found fragments resembling serpent scales.
This Incredibly Successful Retro-Style Video Game Just Added a Classic Hyundai Pickup Truck
- Dave the Diver is a deceptively simple game with a retro look that's hugely popular.
- The latest expansion pack takes the titular Dave into the jungle, and he's got a 1976 Hyundai Pony pickup truck to help out with the adventures.
- The Pony has developed something of a cult following in South Korea, despite its humble beginnings.
Automakers doing crossovers with video games isn't a new thing, but generally, the games involve realistic racing. For instance, about 10 years back, Hyundai's N division released a wild fuel-cell-powered racing concept specifically meant to be a playable car in Gran Turismo. In this case, however, we've got a global manufacturer lending a battered old red pickup truck to a plucky aquatic hero who's a bit more beluga than shark.

Google's new wearable foundation model was not built to make a smarter step counter. Trained on a trillion minutes of sensor data from five million people, SensorFM was built to replace the entire category of single-purpose health algorithms with one generalist model, and its results show exactly where the wearable industry is headed next: away from dashboards full of numbers, and toward an AI layer that interprets those numbers for you.

John Fetterman joins forces with Republican counterpart in Senate for fundraising committee
The Democratic senator John Fetterman, who has faced mounting political challenges, is joining forces with the Republican senator Dave McCormick to launch a new joint fundraising committee, a move that is likely to fuel additional questions about Fetterman’s increasingly rightward lurch.
Pennsylvania’s two US senators have established a shared fundraising committee that will collect donations benefiting both of their campaigns in an unusual bipartisan arrangement.
Federal Election Commission records filed on Monday show the creation of Common Ground PA. The filing identifies the leadership Pacs and principal campaign committees for both Fetterman and McCormick as participants in the joint committee. Politico first reported the formation of the fundraising committee this week.

If you live in New York city, cancelling subscriptions should get a lot easier starting October 1. New York City Mayor Mamdani has announced a new "Click-to-Cancel" rule, enforced by the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, that requires companies to provide "simple, straightforward subscription cancellation." As the name suggests, the rule forbids companies from letting you breezily click on a few boxes to sign up online, while requiring you to navigate a byzantine network of phone calls and carrier pigeons to unsubscribe. Besides making good on campaign promises, the new rule also revives one of the Federal Trade Commission's proposed protections under former FTC Chair Lina Khan.

After 2 years, Marvel Rivals finally made Black Widow fun to play
Image: NetEase GamesMarvel Rivals' Black Widow rework is here — finally. The erstwhile spy's been in an odd, controversial place since the hero shooter launched in December 2024, occupying a role that barely fit her background in Marvel comics and added little to the Rivals roster. However, season 9, which started on July 10 and added Jubilee to the mix, included a major rework for Black Widow, and she's a blast to play now.
