There’s a certain allure surrounding episodes set almost exclusively in one location, thus bringing together all the characters. Maybe it is the anticipation of all the drama, and one expects it to be juicy. It was the case in The Chi Season 6 Episode 3 when Emmett and Keisha invited everyone and their friends to the housewarming party, and a lot went down. We will do a deep dive into it all, so if you’re yet to get caught up on the episode, beware of spoilers. Otherwise, let’s get started.

Despite doing well in its first season, Prime Video has sadly reversed its renewal of The Peripheral. The change of heart likely stemmed from the dual strikes occurring across the industry. The series starred Chloë Grace Moretz as Flynne Fischer, a woman who discovered a secret connection to an alternate reality as well as a dark future of her own. What is one of the first of likely many strike-related cancellations, The Peripheral seemed to fare well on the streamer (although Amazon Prime does not release numbers, the reviews performed well on TV Fanatic). Each week, Twitter would be abuzz…

Add high winds—gusts of up to 80 miles per hour drove the flames a mile a minute across Lahaina—and all it takes is a single spark to ignite a fast-moving blaze. “There’s no firefighting capabilities for structure-to-structure urban fire in winds like that,” says Cova. “Once one structure catches on fire, if the wind’s blowing like that, it becomes like a blowtorch against the neighboring home.”These winds across Maui were dry as well, helping to suck the remaining moisture out of vegetation to turn it into fuel. That fuel seems to have been invasive grasses that European colonizers brought when…

Harvestment can remove one of their own legs to escape a predatorErin Powell Losing a leg early in life makes a male harvestman much more likely to grow up into a sneaker than into a fighter. Young male harvestmen (Forsteropsalis pureora) – sometimes known as daddy longlegs – regularly mature into slim, meek adults if they lose a leg. Researchers think this may be because missing limbs make it more difficult to gather the food required to grow into a brawny, belligerent arachnid. Males of many harvestmen species have evolved weaponry such as leg … Read The Full Article Here

And since they tend to roll in the same circles, a billionaire is almost guaranteed support from his filthy rich friends.

You’re going to be sleeping for roughly 23 years of your life on average, so it makes sense to give some thought to what you’re lying on. Unfortunately, mattresses often have questionable materials in them. Everything from formaldehyde and TCEP (a flame retardant) to phthalates can end up in nonorganic mattresses. How much these substances impact you isn’t scientifically settled, but one way to avoid possible harm is to get a mattress made from natural, organic materials. As a bonus, these mattresses are usually less ecologically harmful. Most ecofriendly mattresses are made of a combination of wool, natural latex, and…

Kennedy, a source of endless fascination amongst the American people, then and now.So why have most people reading this never seen (and maybe never even heard of) Winter Kills until…
