The'Parasite of Parasites' Has Been Discovered in the Tropical Forests of Borneo A newly identified species of fungus attacks the famous "zombie mushrooms" that control ants. Scientists from the Universiti Malaysia Sabah have discovered a newly identified "parasite of parasites " in the tropical forests of Borneo. More specifically, it is what the researchers describe as a hyperparasite--an organism capable of parasitizing other parasites. In this case, its targets are zombie fungi. The new fungal species, named for its distinctive horn-shaped structure, has been described in the journal Phytotaxa.

Temperatures may be soaring, but there's an unseasonable chill on screens right now--at least when it comes to some of the movie offerings hitting streaming services this month. Director Yorgos Lanthimos delivers a twisted take on in on Netflix, while Shudder digs up painful family secrets and adds a side of demonic possession in If you fancy some summer scares that are a bit more Halloween-grade, Netflix also has a mesmerizing tour of a world of monsters and living nightmares, brought to life in stunning stop-motion. There are also plenty of retro delights surfacing on streamers this month that are more than worth a rewatch. Hulu reinstalls Spielberg's, which lands very differently in 2026; Criterion Channel is declassifying Sean Connery's first outings as 007, with, and coming to the specialist platform; and Prime Video brings all three films back to the future (sorry). Here are WIRED's picks of the best movies to watch right now.

The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a cheap way to stream content and is especially tailored for Prime Video devotees. The Fire TV stick still looks the same but has new capabilities. And, if you have a newer TV, it probably has a built-in streaming interface. You may be just fine with that, but if you're still rocking an older and dumber TV, or want to better tailor your experience, a stand-alone streaming device is the way to go. If your home is already using Alexa devices, an Amazon Fire Stick streamer will fit perfectly into that system.

The new Meta-branded glasses have the same camera, microphones, and chatbot as the Ray-Bans. They come in three styles, one of which was codesigned with Kylie Jenner. Smart glasses are like public transportation, according to Peter Bristol, Meta's vice president of industrial design. "People will use it when it's good enough." To reach "good enough," Meta is making its smart glasses more accessible, more customizable, and comfier to wear.

The New Movie Is Sparking a Right-Wing Backlash. Emily Wilson's 2017 translation of Homer's epic--the first by a woman--was called a woke "abomination" by online reactionaries. Christopher Nolan's film is facing similar critiques. Who'd have thought Helen of Troy would cause so much trouble? Earlier this year, certain quarters of the internet spun out at news that Kenyan-Mexican Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o was rumored to appear as the impossibly beautiful Spartan noble Helen--whose face, it was later written, launched a thousand ships--in Christopher Nolan's forthcoming Hollywood Homeric epic, The Odyssey The confirmation of her casting in May kicked off another wave of conniption fits.

President Trump probably can't get rid of her yet, but FCC commissioner Anna Gomez still checks her email every day to see if he has. Until then, she wants to stand up for the First Amendment. If you've given much thought to the Federal Communications Commission in recent years, it probably had something to do with Brendan Carr . The group's chairman since 2025, Carr has been on an ongoing, public rampage against freedom of speech: he's gone after late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, threatened to revoke broadcast licenses over Iran war coverage, and targeted networks for their DEI policies. Disturbing as Carr's rhetoric and actions have been, he does count at least one opponent within the agency: Commissioner Anna Gomez, currently the lone Democrat among three FCC commissioners, has been vocal about the damage she thinks the agency is doing to American press freedom--and has repeatedly urged the public and the press, namely major networks like ABC, CBS, and NBC, to fight back. In May, Commissioner Gomez penned a stunning public letter to Disney CEO Josh D'Amaro, wherein she warned that the company--which owns ABC--was being subjected to "a sustained, coordinated campaign of censorship and control, carried out through the weaponization of the FCC's authority as a federal regulator and aimed at pressuring a free and independent press." Gomez urged D'Amaro to fight the actions her own agency was taking, adding that "this is a fight worth having, and one that I am confident you will win." I wanted to talk to Commissioner Gomez about that bold letter, the risks she sees for the media and the American public under the Trump administration, and how she works alongside a chairman with whom she disagrees so fiercely. Gomez, whose FCC term ends this month, was generous enough to sit down and talk about all of it. You can read our conversation below, or listen to it on the podcast platform of your choice. KATIE DRUMMOND: Welcome, Commissioner Gomez. Thank you for being here. It's great to be here. I want to start, before we talk more about Disney and your letter and all the rest of it, with a very basic question for our listeners. What is your agency's basic role?

Summer is for relaxing, not cleaning. Upgrade your backyard setup with a robot that cleans your pool for you. As the owner of an above-ground pool, I can attest that cleaning leaves, bugs, and other detritus is an everyday chore if the cover is off. I put up with it since my pool is only in use seasonally, but WIRED reviewer Chris Null has an in-ground pool he uses year-round, so he does not have time for foolery like nets, brushes, and manual vacuums. He has been testing pool robots for years, and his favorite robot he's ever tried has been from Beatbot.
