Critic’s Rating: 4.5 / 5.04.5Do you ever wonder if maybe you’re just ornery when it comes to characters on TV? The Way Home Season 3 Episode 2 just introduced Colton, Del, and Evelyn, among others, from the 1970s, and I’m immediately drawn to and rooting for Evelyn. Evelyn (Evie), of all people! (©2024 Hallmark Media/Photographer: Peter Stranks) The Dawn of Del I’ve never been all that fond of Del if I’m being honest. She’s so cold. We’ve seen her with Colton, and at least some of that time, she seems much warmer. I always chalked up her frosty demeanor to…

When I think about trainers, my mind immediately drifts to the classic styles that I fell in love with first—the pairs that defined my teenage years. White plimsolls, Vans, and Converse were my go-tos—the ones that saw me through every moment that mattered. Each pair worked hard to keep up with my evolving style, until all of a sudden, they fell out of my rotation, making way for loafers and ballet flats instead. But still, I always held a soft spot for each in my heart. So, you can imagine my delight when whispers of a Converse revival began circulating…

Imagine a photograph of your great-grandparents, grandparents and parents side by side. You’d see a resemblance, but each generation would look distinct from its predecessors. This is the process of evolution in its simplest form: descent with modification.Over many generations, a staggering amount of modification is possible. This is how the diversity of life on Earth came to be.This idea, though, has long been misunderstood as a path that leads in one direction toward “higher” or “better” organisms. For example, Rudolph Zallinger’s famous 1965 Time-Life illustration “The Road to Homo Sapiens” shows humans evolving in a stepwise fashion from ape-like…

Since I have been met with a variety of emotions, numbness, peace, complete udder sadness, and even at times guilt.” She went on to recall how her dad was “everyone’s…

Though Trent Reznor helped bring industrial rock to the mainstream as the frontman of Nine Inch Nails, he has revealed himself to be a pop fan in recent years. During a red carpet interview at the Golden Globes, he continued that trend while naming his favorite song of 2024. This past weekend, Reznor caught an interviewer from the Los Angeles alternative radio station 98.7 off-guard when he chose Sabrina Carpenter’s hit “Espresso” as his song of the year. Sadly, he didn’t elaborate on the choice. Get Sabrina Carpenter Tickets Here Last summer, Reznor admitted he previously had a stance that…

As a series of massive fires continues to blaze through the Los Angeles area, blanketing neighborhoods with smoke and forcing thousands of people to evacuate their homes, air quality remains unhealthy throughout many parts of the county.Wildfire smoke is a mixture of water vapor, gases, and microscopic particles known as particulate matter. The smallest of these particles, known as PM2.5 because they have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, pose the most danger to human health. They can lodge deep in the lungs and sometimes enter the bloodstream. Earlier this week, PM2.5 around Los Angeles rose to “hazardous” levels,…

Spaghetti cacio e pepe is made with black pepper and pecorino cheesemyViewPoint/Alamy Physicists have discovered the key to a consistently delicious cacio e pepe pasta, a traditional Italian dish made with black pepper and pecorino cheese. Cooking cacio e pepe involves melting the cheese with some of the water the pasta is cooked in to create a smooth sauce, but achieving this is notoriously tricky. If the mixture becomes too hot or has the incorrect balance of cheese and starch from the pasta water, then the sauce will become unpleasantly lumpy rather than smooth. View Original Source Here

Critic’s Rating: 4 / 5.04John Carter, is that you? No, The Pitt’s Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch is definitely not John Carter, but Carter is the character that made Noah Wyle famous, and it’s the first to come to mind when you think of the actor. Putting a stethoscope around his neck was guaranteed to bring about comparisons. And, frankly, Dr. Robby is who I would imagine John Carter becoming years into his career. After decades in the trenches of emergency medicine, Dr. Robby knows who he is, what works in the ED, and how to handle cases that would turn…

With the fall shows making their midseason returns, renewals and cancellations are bound to be on the mind for creators and viewers alike. TV ratings are the numbers that make or break a TV show. The success of a show is measured primarily in audience size and ratings among the various age demographics. The 18-49 demo is the most coveted age group, as advertisers believe they have the most disposable income and are more likely to be swayed by ads than older viewers who perhaps have brand loyalty. A popular show means broadcast TV networks can charge more for advertisers…

Megan Thee Stallion won a restraining order against Tory Lanez on Thursday (Jan. 9) after tearfully testifying before a Los Angeles judge that she’s scared he’ll “shoot me again” when released from prison and “maybe this time I won’t make it.” A month after the star’s lawyers warned that Lanez has continued to “terrorize her” with a “campaign of harassment” even as he sits behind bars, Judge Richard Bloom granted her a civil restraining order that will bar Lanez from any harassing conduct for the next five years. The ruling came after emotional testimony from Megan herself, who fought back…

However, with such little movement on the project over the years, many fans assumed that the movie was effectively caught in development limbo.

As a fashion editor with a serious case of handbag-obsession, uncovering new bag styles on the market has become a bit of a weakness for me. I may be the only person among my friends who sets an alarm for release dates, and if there’s a limited edition drop to be found, you can guarantee I’ve already added it to my wish list; but my real passion comes from finding bags that look like they cost the earth but are really much more affordable finds. In the wake of Walmart’s trending take on the Hermés Birkin, or should I say…
