The editor in chief of a once-highly respected science publication has issued an apology after descending into an expletive-laden meltdown on election night when former President Donald Trump emerged the winner.Last Tuesday night, Laura Helmuth, the editor in chief of Scientific American — the oldest continuously published magazine in American history — reportedly took to social media to unleash a series of invectives against those of her generation who voted for Trump."I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of f****** fascists," she wrote, according to screenshots shared by the Daily Mail."Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f*** them to the moon and back," she apparently added.Helmuth even apparently expressed shame for her Midwestern roots, decrying the entire state of Indiana as a haven for bigotry."Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist," she said, according to the Daily Mail."The moral arc of the universe isn't going to bend itself."As might be expected, these alleged comments did not go over well, and soon social-media users began to call for Helmuth's resignation."Wow you should fire your unhinged editor. She needs a long rest somewhere padded," one user commented, according to the Daily Mail."She should be stripped of membership for any science organization she’s a member of. Trust in science is tanking because of these egregious, pathetic, bigoted scientists," reportedly added another.'I am committed to civil communication and editorial objectivity.'By Friday, Helmuth had backpedaled, issuing an apology for allowing the "shock and confusion" of the election results to get the best of her."I made a series of offensive and inappropriate posts on my personal Bluesky account on election night, and I am sorry," Helmuth wrote in a statement, according to the New York Post. "I respect and value people across the political spectrum. These posts, which I have deleted, do not reflect my beliefs; they were a mistaken expression of shock and confusion about the election results."Despite evidence to the contrary, Helmuth also insisted that she does have the necessary temperament to separate her personal views from her professional responsibilities. "I am committed to civil communication and editorial objectivity," she said.However, Scientific American has hardly steered clear of political matters under her leadership. In 2020, the same year Helmuth took the reins as editor in chief, the outlet broke a nearly 200-year-old tradition of officially remaining above the political fray and endorsed Joe Biden for president. The outlet likewise endorsed Kamala Harris for president in 2024.Perhaps even more abhorrent, Scientific American has seemingly embraced junk science, especially regarding gender. In April, it republished an interview in which a man posing as a woman accused those who oppose gender ideology of peddling "misinformation" and perpetrating "epistemological violence," as Blaze News previously reported.The outlet also denied the possibility that wealthy elites profited from the pandemic, stressed the COVID-19 vaccine was safe, and declared the lab-leak theory regarding COVID-19 "false." Scientific American even wasted ink, time, and money on multiple articles claiming that math, the NFL, and fighting obesity are racist.In a post following the election, Helmuth also indicated that others at the outlet were having similar difficulty accepting the outcome, allegedly posting, "Any advice on what workplaces can do to help people who are devastated by the election? Thanks so much."Despite an obviously leftward lurch at the outlet, Helmuth claimed in her Friday statement that her offensive insults of Trump supporters "of course do not reflect the position of Scientific American or my colleagues."Scientific American did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.Like Blaze News?

President-elect Donald Trump announced his choice for United Nations ambassador on Sunday evening. He confirmed to the New York Post that he had offered the position to New York Rep. Elise Stefanik (R).Trump told the Post, "I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter."'Still not tired of the winning.'Stefanik, a staunch Trump ally and the fourth-highest-ranking House Republican, has been credited for her role in driving out two Ivy League presidents after questioning them about anti-Semitism on campus.Stefanik confirmed that she had accepted Trump's offer.

Trump's restoration of America First peace through strength leadership on the world stage on Day One at the United Nations."Trump's decision to appoint Stefanik followed an announcement on Saturday that former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley would not be joining his incoming Cabinet. "I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation. I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" he wrote on Truth Social.Haley responded to Trump's announcement, writing, "I was proud to work with President Trump defending America at the United Nations. I wish him, and all who serve, great success in moving us forward to a stronger, safer America over the next four years."Trump's appointment of Stefanik received mixed reactions, with some voicing concerns about the narrow Republican majority in the House.Political commentator Ben Shapiro wrote on X, "Tom Homan as border czar. Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador. Still not tired of the winning."New York City Councilman Joe Borelli (R) called Stefanik's appointment a "huge win for America.""[Stefanik] will whip them into shape. So proud to call her a friend," Borelli added.One X user wrote, "I have no problem with the choice but we have a razor [thin] majority in the House. Remember how the Republicans botched replacing George Santos?"Another X user stated, "We need Elise in the House. Tulsi [Gabbard] is perfect for Amb to UN - she's a peace seeker!"Like Blaze News?

A significant number of non-white voters supported Donald Trump for president, a fact that hip-hop radio host Charlemagne tha God appeared shocked to learn over the weekend.During an interview on ABC News' "This Week," anchor Jonathan Karl asked Charlemagne — a stalwart Kamala Harris surrogate whose real name is Larry McKelvey — about the "demographics" of Trump's victoryWhat followed was a viral exchange in which McKelvey had a difficult time believing that a large number of non-white voters helped send Trump back to the White House."Trump got one out of every three voters of color," Karl told McKelvey."No," the radio host responded."Yeah — 33%," Karl affirmed."Really?!" McKelvey asked again."Yeah," Karl responded."When you say color, you mean like black, brown — everything?!" McKelvey asked, to which Karl responded by nodding his head in affirmation. To his credit and despite his shock, McKelvey appeared to understand exactly why those non-white voters supported Trump and hand-delivered Harris a humiliating loss, citing identity politics, the economy, and immigration."I think some of this is a backlash to race and gender and identity politics. But man, most people, they just care about keeping food on they table and keeping a roof over their head. And I think sometimes people forget about that," he said. In another moment of liberal self-awareness, McKelvey added that he believes the Democratic Party "forgot" about the working class — but Trump did not.Later in the interview, Karl asked McKelvey why he thinks Trump performed well in liberal strongholds like Chicago and New York City."Because of dinner-table issues. Yo, it's literally that simple. Everyday people wake up, and all they want to do is have more money in their pocket, and they want to feel safe. I don't care if you're black, white, gay, straight, whatever religion you are, those are the two things that you're thinking about every day," McKelvey responded. "How can I keep some money in my pocket, and how can I stay safe?"Not only that, but McKelvey slammed Democrats for largely ignoring the border crisis."Trump is saying build the wall. And when [Republicans] were telling you that it was a problem, [Democrats] would say, 'No, it's not a problem. Let's create sanctuary cities and let's bring the people into our cities,'" he observed. "And so when they started putting those illegal immigrants on the buses and on the planes and sending them to those sanctuary cities, what did they say then? 'No, don't come.'""So it looked like the Republicans were right and Democrats were wrong," McKelvey admitted.Like Blaze News?

The Half-Life fan remake is nothing short of incredible. With Black Mesa, the team at Crowbar Collective somehow managed to modernize Valve’s epochal FPS in a way that felt earned, faithful, and new in equal measure.

If there's one thing I'll always praise Rockstar for, it's the studio's undying creativity. Between the western-inspired world of Red Dead Redemption, and its post-war 1947 epic LA Noire (which I contend is the best videogame ever made), Rockstar has consistently showcased its ability to straddle various genres, time periods, and gameplay styles. With John Marston's debut adventure finally on Steam, a lot of us have been reminded just how good wild west games are, making the news that Neowiz (the creator of Lies of P) is creating a "noir western RPG" even more exciting.
