California’s monarch butterflies have almost completely disappeared in just two years
Humans have a complicated relationship with planet Earth. We love it here, we love the sights and sounds, and we sit glued to our television screens as documentaries show us how awesome our planet and its various life forms are. We’re also actively making it less awesome by killing off countless species — sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident — and we can’t seem to stop.
The latest example comes from California, where the western monarch butterfly population has absolutely plummeted over just a few years, and it’s getting worse. In fact, the population of the eye-catching insects has dropped by a stunning 86% since 2017.

Bose makes wireless earbuds that help you sleep better, and they really work for lots of people
If a company ever tries to sell you a sleep aid that it guarantees will work for everyone, don’t even bother with it. It’s bologna. There’s simply no such thing as a sleep solution that works for everyone and there never will be. That said, when something new does pop up and it gets good reviews from a lot of people, it’s definitely worth checking out. If you think sound sensitivity might be part of the reason you have trouble staying asleep at night, you should definitely check out the Bose Noise Masking Sleepbuds. They’re worth every penny if they work as well for you as they have for many other people who have tried them, and you can always just return them if they don’t help you out.
Bose Noise Masking Sleepbuds: $249.00
Here’s some additional info from the product page:
- Noise-masking sleepbuds are the latest Bose innovation. They use engineered soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noise — like snoring partners and noisy neighbors — so you can fall asleep, and stay asleep
- They may look like tiny headphones, but instead of streaming music, the sleepbuds play pre-loaded soothing sounds for sleep and relaxation
- Super-tiny sleepbuds stay comfortably in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. Choose from three included eartip sizes for the best fit
- Although Bose pioneered noise cancelling technology, its research found noise masking is the better option for sleep
- Rechargeable battery provides up to 16 hours of use for deep, peaceful sleep
- The sleepbuds work exclusively with the Bose Sleep app so you can control and customize how you sleep. Select your soothing sound, control the volume, set an alarm, and even choose how long you want your sleepbuds to play
- Compact and convenient storage case keeps your sleepbuds safe, charged, and ready for next time. Provides one additional charge without having to plug it in
- Your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) must support Bluetooth Low Energy (also called Bluetooth Smart) to work correctly with the Bose noise-masking sleepbuds. Apple devices with iOS 10 or later are compatible, and most devices with Android 5.0 and newer versions support Bluetooth Low Energy

Early Galaxy S10 Lite benchmarks are nowhere close to matching Apple’s iPhone XR
One of the prevailing story lines that we’ve been covering in depth over the past several weeks has been the array of smartphones Samsung is expected to launch in just a few weeks. The cheapest of those — referred to as the Galaxy S10 Lite in leaks — should, in theory, compete with Apple’s iPhone XR. But a benchmark that popped up online this week seems to suggest that the S10 Lite will struggle to come close to its rival.
Spotted by GalaxyClub on Tuesday, the benchmark for a phone with model number SM-G970U (supposedly the S10 Lite) offers up multiple revelations about the highly anticipated device. First and foremost, it seems to confirm that the S10 Lite will ship with a Snapdragon 855 processor on board. Second, Samsung looks to be including 6GB of RAM on this “budget” phone — double what the XR offers. But that’s just part of the story.

Scary new ‘Avengers: Endgame’ theory says the ‘Infinity War’ deaths might be permanent
Each day that brings us closer to that April 26th launch date for Avengers: Endgame brings us fresh theories from fans who are still trying to guess what Marvel will do next in the upcoming new Avengers movie. Many of these theories say that time travel will fix everything Thanos did, though many of them still involve tragic outcomes for some of the characters. Just as Thanos had to sacrifice something to get what he wanted, Tony Stark and the gang will have to make their own sacrifices to win. But the following theory goes one step further than others, saying the Infinity War deaths are real and all those fallen heroes might not be resurrected.

Hubble snapped a super high-res image of a neighboring galaxy, and it’s too big for the internet
Hubble, the trusty space telescope that has been delivering gorgeous views of the cosmos for decades now, just delivered another gift. In a new composite image made up of many individual photos, Hubble shows us the nearby Triangulum galaxy in incredible detail. No, seriously, the final image is so huge that you’d never want to wait for it to load on a web page.
To create the image, Hubble snapped 54 individual photos of the galaxy. Those shots, totaling a jaw-dropping 665 million pixels, were carefully aligned to create a single image that weighs in at over one and a half gigabytes.

The 9 best Netflix shows you’ve never heard of
The sheer volume of new and original content that hits Netflix every month is absolutely staggering. To be quite honest, it’s practically impossible to keep up with all of the new content that arrives on Netflix every month unless you’re watching TV 24/7. As a prime example, this month alone will see Netflix debut 38 new original TV series and movies.

Not to fear, we figured we’d make things a bit easier on you and give you a few can’t-miss show recommendations that will have you hooked from the jump. So while you’re undoubtedly familiar with popular Netflix shows like Stranger Things, Ozark, and Black Mirror, the list below will clue you in on some top-tier content you likely haven’t heard of or watched yet.
