As much as I’ve enjoyed the renaissance of skinny jeans, the past few seasons of embracing baggy and wide-leg styles have firmly cemented my love for a little extra volume in the denim department. There’s just something about the relaxed, flowing silhouette that feels effortlessly cool and endlessly wearable. So, naturally, the emerging palazzo jeans trend has captured my full attention.A bold evolution of the wide-leg styles we’ve grown accustomed to, palazzo jeans take things up a notch with exaggerated proportions and an ultra-dramatic silhouette. Unlike traditional flares, which typically hug the thighs before flaring out at the knee, palazzo…

Angel of Vengeance by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child Better late than never, right? Because, somehow, I also missed Angel of Vengeance, the latest in the iconic Agent Pendergast series from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. What better time to read a summer book than in the dead of winter, though? Actually, there’s never a bad time to jump back into another series that, like fine wine, keeps getting better with age. Complex mechanizations aside, this is a deeply personal tale that pits Pendergast and company against serial killer Enoch Leng who’s terrorizing New York City. I say “and company”…
Air pollution can have a cooling effect on the climateCheunghyo/Getty Images James Hansen, the climate scientist best known for alerting the US Congress to global warming in the 1980s, has redoubled his warnings that we are underestimating the climate impact of declining air pollution. “Humanity made a bad deal, a Faustian bargain, when we used aerosols to offset almost half of greenhouse gas warming,” said Hansen at a briefing hosted by the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network. But other researchers say this conclusion is based on shaky foundations, and we still don’t know how much reductions in air pollution…
Jeopardy!‘s Tournament of Champions continues as the Semifinals kicked off with Adriana Harmeyer, Will Wallace, and Ryan Manton on February 4th. It was an exciting match for Ryan and Adriana who went head-to-head for most of the match, with Will admittedly not delivering his best performance. “It was obviously not my game. Adriana and Ryan are amazing players, and whereas I had my buzzer locked in on my quarterfinal, I never found my rhythm this game. It threw me off and I never recovered,” Will wrote on Reddit. Ultimately, Adriana came out on top, winning the game with 25,000 total…
Galactus has arrived in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.And this ain’t no sentient cloud. This is a big old alien in purple and blue armor. (We bet you ten space bucks that he’s even got a big “G” somewhere on his outfit like the original Stan Lee / Jack Kirby Galactus did.)Galactus makes a blink and you’ll miss it cameo in the end of the new teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Boeing executive Mark Nappi had been the face of the company’s Starliner program during its beleaguered Crew Flight Test to the International Space Station that ultimately left its crew of two NASA astronauts behind when the spacecraft returned to Earth last year. After NASA made the call to keep its astronauts safe on the ISS because of concerns about Starliner’s thrusters, Nappi was noticeably missing from press conference updates as the spacecraft made what turned out to be a safe return in September, albeit minus crew. Now 64, Nappi announced he was retiring from Boeing this…
Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.03.5For once on NCIS: Origins, the call was coming from inside the precinct. Lately, the series has been introducing well-crafted self-contained episodes to the season, and it is paying off. How do you keep an episodic police procedural from getting stale?

It creates a fresh perspective while giving viewers a chance to get to know supporting characters more intimately. For one, I thought for sure this was the episode of NCIS: Origins where we were finally going to see Mary Jo…

“Which one is which?” my husband asked, peering at the side-by-side maidenhair ferns in 6.5-inch pots I’d left on the dining room table. One had been planted in regular hardware store potting soil, the other in a mixture of potting soil and compost made from the previous month’s kitchen scraps. “The one on the left,” I said, gesturing to the shorter, yet visibly fuller, fern. It wasn’t hugely larger than the other one, but it did look healthier.The size of this victory depends on one’s experience with the compost process—and in-home electric composters—in general. While throwing excess food outside in…
Penitence by Kristin Koval “Nora Sheehan sits in a jail cell in Lodgepole, Colorado, surrounded by three cinderblock walls and the kind of steel bars she’s only seen on television, gray and cold. She’s thirteen, the woman she might become still a shadow even though she’s ready to discard her childhood. A longing for her stuffed penguin – a gift on her fourth birthday from her older brother Nico – grips her with an intensity she doesn’t understand, and she twists her thin arms around her shoulders, a featherless bird warming herself with naked wings. She doesn’t look like the…
Rat sightings are on the rise in New York CityFatih Aktas/Anadolu/Getty Images It has long been predicted that many pest species will thrive as the planet warms – and now a study of 16 major cities has found that rat populations are growing fastest in areas where average temperatures are rising quickest. It is extremely difficult to estimate the number of rats in a city, so Jonathan Richardson at the University of Richmond in Virginia and his colleagues didn’t attempt this. Instead, they got a sense of how populations are changing by looking at the number of complaints about rats…
Critic’s Rating: 4.4 / 5.04.4Many new mysteries began in Hope Valley, including discerning a suspicious heiress’s motives. When Calls the Heart, Season 12 Episode 5 was fun and mysterious because several characters tried to play personas that weren’t themselves. This worked for Nathan, who looked handsome and confident as a high-roller poker player. It didn’t work either for Allie, who couldn’t fit in with a bad boy, or for Ava, who had difficulty fooling the locals with her poor me routine. (©2025 Hallmark Media) However, the storylines were entertaining as they explored the characters’ motivations and relationship dynamics. When Calls…
Like all good slasher movie killers, M3GAN is back.The artificial intelligence in the form of an eerily lifelike children’s doll was seemingly destroyed in the first film. But the film was a surprise smash, grossing more than $180 million worldwide. So M3GAN is back in a new movie — fittingly titled M3GAN 2.0.The original film’s non-killer-doll stars, Allison WIlliams and Violet McGraw, are both back as well, although neither appears in M3GAN 2.0’s first teaser. It mostly contains M3GAN dancing, likely because that became a focal point of the memes that sprung from the first film. You can watch it below.READ MORE: Horror…
