I’m writing to you from the first week of the second Trump presidency, and there’s already been an onslaught of attacks on transgender and nonbinary people’s rights, including an executive order to only recognize two binary genders. It’s exhausting, and we’ve barely begun these four years. But I’m reminded of an illustration I saw recently by artist Elise Schuenke: in two panels, they say, “I may be scared of 2025. But 2025 should be scared of me too.“ There is so much to…

Archaeologists excavating in Ecuador have discovered the rich burial of a pregnant woman and fetus who died around 1,200 years ago. But the woman’s bones revealed that she was bludgeoned and dismembered and that another person’s head and burnt offering were placed in the grave, which led archaeologists to suspect she was sacrificed.”The fact that it was a woman who was pregnant might indicate that women held important positions of power, and thus their power needed to be ‘managed,'” Sara Juengst, a bioarchaeologist at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, told Live Science in an email.In a study published…

Critic’s Rating: 3.5 / 5.03.5In this golden age of broadcast television, medical procedurals are a dime a dozen, and new ones are released every season. So, leave it to CBS to revive the classic character Watson and give audiences something ironically refreshing.  It also doesn’t hurt that the network has given viewers the tall drink of water, Morris Chestnut. (Colin Bentley/CBS) Making it all the way to the end of the pilot episode certainly had its benefits.  However, despite numerous things that work for Waston, a few ends still need tightening if this show is to become a long-standing series. …

There are some occasions that, no matter how many times I try to plan for them, I’m still left stumped on what to wear. Dressing for a sporting event, for example, always feels like a balancing act between going casual and embracing a thematic approach. But if there’s one occasion that truly throws me, it’s airport dressing. Torn between craving maximum comfort on board and wanting to touch down looking chic, this particular style conundrum never gets easierOver time, I’ve become something of an airport-style magpie, constantly on the lookout for in-flight outfits that strike the perfect balance between comfort,…

Coal power plants contribute to global warmingWalaiporn Sangkeaw Current policies of governments around the world are likely to result in Earth warming by anywhere between 1.9 and 3.7°C by 2100, with potentially more to come in the 22nd century. “Every year we keep emitting CO2 after 2100 results in higher and higher global temperatures,” says Zeke Hausfather, a climate scientist at Stripe, a California-based software company that invests in carbon-removal technology. His conclusions are based on a review of more than a dozen studies published in the past five years looking at the implications of current policies. According to these…

It is a terrible thing to realize you have become An Old.I bought a few movies on DVD, Blu-ray, and 4K recently; I’m working on a project, and I need access to their special features, most of which are not available in any form on streaming or online. As a result, the space next to my TV is filling up with lots of little black and blue plastic cases. When my youngest daughter spotted them sitting there recently, she asked “What are those things?”“Movies,” I said.“There are movies in there?” she replied in a voice steeped in confusion. (She sounded exactly like Christine Taylor tells Owen Wilson the…

Timothée Chalamet made the ultimate “one of us” gesture for Bob Dylan fans while delivering a powerful message to Oscar voters with two incredible musical performances on Saturday Night Live. Marking his first-ever public performance, the 29-year-old actor, who stars in the Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, began with a medley of “Outlaw Blues” and “Three Angels.” The latter number is a particular deep cut, a gospel-hued song appearing on Dylan’s 1970 album New Morning. Later, Chalamet returned to sing “Tomorrow Is a Long Time,” a beloved Dylan bootleg dating back from the early 1960s that didn’t properly receive a…

With so much change all at once from Fire Country Season 1, it’s a miracle that viewers didn’t get whiplash going into Season 2. While some adjustments were appreciated, not every change is exactly logical.  It’s very clear from the abrupt story progression and the amount of time between the episodes that the sophomore season was another show affected by the SAG-AFTRA strikes.  Max Thieriot plays Bode Leone in a scene from Fire Country Season 2. (Sergei Bachlakov/CBS) However, Fire Country made the most of the story they built up before the Season 1 finale. But in trying to redirect…

I’ve been to London quite a few times and have done every touristy thing in the books, but I rarely used to go to afternoon tea. Ever since my first experience a few years ago, I decided I must see all of the best tea sites in the city.

During my most recent trip, I stopped by the Beaumont Hotel and absolutely loved the experience, I’ve also found Sketch London to be quite a fun journey into an Alice in Wonderland–like world. I…
