1 day ago | grunge.com | S. Flannagan

On June 12 and 13, 2025, Jewish Israel, which at the time was already embroiled in a war with Hamas in Gaza, undertook a surprise attack against the neighboring country of Iran, striking several targets related to Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile sites. The bombings killed swathes of leading military figures and nuclear scientists in Iran and led to a continued exchange of strikes in the days that followed.
The Unexpected Australian Fossil Hiding In Plain Sight For Decades

5 days ago | grunge.com | S. Flannagan

Roughly 200 million to 174 million years ago, the continents as we know them today had yet to form, and the earlier supercontinent of Pangaea had just begun to split into two landmasses — Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. The discovery of fossils from this time, the Early Jurassic period, are a cause for great excitement among paleontologists.

1 week ago | grunge.com | Amy Beeman

Lands and people ruled by kings and queens seem built into human civilization, but it all had to start somewhere. Prior to that, it's hard to know what leadership looked like amongst our ancestors largely because there wasn't written language. That all changed during the so-called "cradle of civilization," in Mesopotamia, a territory that covered parts of modern-day Iraq, Kuwait, Syria, and Turkey.
Royals Who Were Absolute Nightmares In Real Life

1 week ago | grunge.com | Kathy Benjamin

There have probably been very few royals in all of history who were anything approaching "normal." After all, everything about their lives is, by definition, far from ordinary. It's impossible to be raised in an environment where you are seen as being better than other people purely by an accident of birth, and walk away with a pleasant personality and rational way of looking at the world.
Why Many Amish People Don't Actually Have Social Security Numbers

2 weeks ago | grunge.com | Amy Beeman

Social Security numbers are part of our identities in the United States. Most parents apply for them when their baby is born — the same time they send off the info required for a birth certificate. From the get, that number follows us everywhere as an identifier. Like a fingerprint, it's unique to us while we're alive, and no two are the same.
'80s Musicians Who Became Unbelievably Poor

2 weeks ago | grunge.com | Kathy Benjamin

No matter how much success you have, it is still possible to end up flat broke. Actors have lost all their money, athletes go bust all the time, and even billionaires have filed for bankruptcy. So, of course, musicians are not exempt from the difficulties of managing both their fame and their finances. Plenty of bands and solo artists who hit it big in the 1980s have found themselves looking at an empty bank account even though they had spent years — sometimes decades — recording and touring.
Why Texas Is Called The Lone Star State

2 weeks ago | grunge.com | S. Flannagan

Texas is the second-largest American state behind Alaska in terms of area and behind only California in terms of population. Today, it's considered one of the Union's biggest success stories, with a strong heritage and world-famous identity as a cultural and economic powerhouse. Its identity among its people is so strong that they sometimes refer to the U.S. state as the "greatest country in the world," a tongue-in-cheek reference to its scale and power.

For more than 260 years, a grand spectacle has taken place in London, England, involving more than 1,400 British troops with hundreds of musicians, horses, and other martial pageantry to celebrate the reigning British monarch's birthday. It's called Trooping the Colour (aka the King's Birthday Parade) and it's just one of the strange British royal rituals that are still carried out today.
