Bougatsa in Thessaloniki: inside a basement bakery making a Greek breakfast legend

Bougatsa is a traditional Greek pastry made from filo dough filled with semolina cream, cheese or meat, served warm with icing sugar and cinnamon. In Thessaloniki, the best versions are made in unassuming bakeries off the tourist trail, where craftsmen work in basement workshops from the early hours. A visit to one such spot, a short drive from the city centre, reveals the hands-on process of layering filo and hand-portioning each piece.

Is it worth seeking out local bakeries instead of restaurants when travelling?

Faintest exoplanet ever seen from Earth identified as Beta Pictoris d

Astronomers have detected Beta Pictoris d, the faintest exoplanet ever observed from Earth, which had been hiding in plain sight near its host star. The novel detection method used in the discovery could open the door to spotting other extremely dim exoplanets. The findings were published online on 21 July 2026 in Nature.

Should this new exoplanet detection method become the standard in astronomy?

"King of the Hill" showrunner clarifies why John Redcorn's story changed in season 15

The showrunner of the revived "King of the Hill" has clarified that Jonathan Joss's death was not the reason for John Redcorn's storyline change in season 15. The show returned after a 15-year hiatus, and season 14 saw Nancy Gribble secretly resuming her affair with Redcorn. The decision to alter that storyline in the new season was made for separate creative reasons, the showrunner says.

Should "King of the Hill" writers drop Nancy and Redcorn's affair storyline?

Polish tourists on all-inclusive holidays: "They thought they'd bought the staff"

Agnieszka, who worked as an entertainer at five-star hotels in Turkey, Egypt and Greece, describes the behaviour of Polish tourists on all-inclusive holidays. Some arrived drunk, queued for free alcohol before even getting their room key, and treated staff as though they had purchased them. The phenomenon was notable among wealthier guests who felt entitled to everything included in their package.

Movement Labs files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following MOVE token scandal

Movement Labs has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following months of upheaval. The firm faced a controversial market-making agreement, an internal investigation into its MOVE token launch, a Binance ban linked to its market maker, and a last-ditch pivot away from Ethereum scaling toward cross-border payments. The combination of scandals and strategic failures has now culminated in the bankruptcy filing.

Parting and Ears: The Spots You're Missing When Applying SPF Sunscreen

Cosmetologist Małgorzata Misiejuk of BasicLab highlights the body areas most commonly missed when applying SPF sunscreen: the hair parting, ears, eyelids and hairline. The parting is especially vulnerable because the skin there is delicate and fully exposed to UV radiation. She recommends using a spray sunscreen on the scalp or covering the parting with a hat.

Should daily SPF application be a year-round standard for everyone?

AI-generated slop mods are flooding Skyrim — even the adult ones

Skyrim's modding community is being swamped by AI-generated mods produced using LLM "vibe coding" tools. The mods feature polished thumbnails and confident descriptions but frequently fail to work at all once downloaded. The wave of low-quality AI content has reached even the adult modding scene, traditionally the domain of dedicated creators.
