Has the world's oldest baby just been born? 'It's like something out of a sci-fi movie!'
His birth was decades in the making! Thaddeus Daniel Pierce may look like a typical infant in a lot of ways, but there's something very unique about him: He was the result of an "adopted" embryo created over thirty years ago. Linda Archerd and her then-husband were attempting IVF in the early 1990s, and produced four embryos. While one became her now-adult daughter, the rest were frozen. Then, three decades passed. 'We didn't go into it thinking we would break any records,' Lindsey Pierce, baby Thaddeus's mother, told the MIT Technology Review. 'We just wanted to have a baby.' Lindsey and Tim Pierce had been trying to get pregnant for seven years, so this was something they have been wanting for a very long time. "We had a rough birth but we are both doing well now. He is so chill. We are in awe that we have this precious baby!" Pierce told MIT Technology Review.. Solve the daily Crossword

Spider-Man: Brand New Day's Tom Holland Costume Reveal Is A Serious Upgrade
What Fantastic Four box office drop? We're talking about Spider-Man now! In an effort to shift the conversation to Marvel's next, must-hit film, we're now seeing reveals and rumors left and right about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a return to huge-grossing trilogy that is shifting things in a number of ways. First and foremost, after teasing it yesterday, Marvel just had Tom Holland walk out in his full Spidey costume (minus mask) to drive the internet wild. It's a very, very sharp look, a combination of the raised webbing of the Maguire and Garfield eras, mixed with elements of his final suit from No Way Home, though with more muted reds and blues. Of course, Holland's Spider-Man has had many suits through the years, including the Iron Spider and a black stealth suit, but it's certainly a departure more generally from his 'base' suit, especially the one he had initially in Homecoming: Spider-Man has had dozens if not even hundreds of different suit variants over the years, but I find the franchise can be a little too obsessed with them at times. I'm hoping he has this new suit, it's cool (big webshooters, too, interestingly) and we move on and focus on the rest of the movie rather than some sub-storyline about how he gets a new one. If we're doing symbiotes…sure, that's different. But we're not doing that, we know that much. The other news this week is the revelation from the trades that the film may also soon be recruiting Bruce Banner/The Hulk and Scorpion to appear, the latter being played by Michael Mando in Homecoming eight years ago, and the former, 'Smart Hulk,' not being seen since the She-Hulk Disney Plus series. Before this, we already knew officially that Jon Bernthal's The Punisher was showing up in Brand New Day, and the word is there will be some sort of fight between him, Spidey and Hulk before they figure out they're not actually enemies, or something like that (hopefully, Savage Hulk, not Smart Hulk, is present). In addition to this, there is a persistent rumor that previously-announced cast member, Stranger Things' Sadie Sink, may be playing Gwen Stacy, but that as of yet remains unconfirmed. It would be the second time a famously red-haired actress played Stacy instead of Mary Jane (the first being Emma Stone, opposite Andrew Garfield's Peter). So, confirmed: This suit and Punisher. Likely happening: Hulk and Scorpion. Who knows: Who Sadie Sink is playing. But no doubt we're going to start hearing more soon. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
