On Thursday (April 10), Jon Foreman joined Loudwire Nights to dive into Switchfoot’s latest song, “Last Man Standing,” which features guitar legend Buddy Guy.”I wrote most of the song thinking through what would I want to sing alongside Buddy Guy,” Foreman told Chuck Armstrong, host of Loudwire Nights. Listen to the full conversation in the player near the end of this article.”I wanted to write a song deserving of this man that had taught me how to play guitar when I was in junior high. ‘Last Man Standing’ is an homage to a true legend. It’s my attempt to say…

The White Lotus costume designer Alex Bovaird told me on the most recent episode of the Who What Wear Podcast that she’s a bit of a handbag freak. Getting to choose the designer bags the characters are going to wear each season has quickly become one of her favorite aspects of the show’s much-discussed costume design.She admits the number of bags these guests pack may seem a little over the top, but Mike White is ultimately creating his little world within the show. And in The White Lotus universe, everyone dresses all the way up for vacation. They have no…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Stuck With The Hot Boss? I’ve always loved the idea that a bit of magic is involved in bringing couples together, so I decided to write a series of books where a type of fairy godmother, Miss Lovelock, makes it easier for couples of overcome obstacles and find their happy ever after. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Stuck With The Hot Boss, what would they be? Evie’s theme song is: “Talk Me Out of Him” by Erin Gibney, and Leo’s theme song…
This burrowing owl was photographed at Markham Park in Broward County, FL. They can be found in various regions across the United States. They inhabit open prairie grasslands and can be found in many urban parks as well. Credit: Brittany Mason, UF/IFAS FLREC. Across the United States, more than 440 national parks and 7,400 urban parks offer a variety of recreational green spaces for people and pets. Yet, the United States Forest Service warns that urbanization, including park development, is reducing natural habitats for plants and animals, infringing on wildlife survival. How can urban parks continue to be vital havens…
Joan Vassos and Chock Chapple fell in love on Season 1 of The Golden Bachelorette and even got engaged at the final rose ceremony. However, unlike Season 1 The Golden Bachelor couple Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner, who divorced in April 2024, they didn’t rush down the aisle. However, Vassos and Chapple also made the surprising decision not to move in with each other after the show aired, leading many cynical viewers to wonder if there was any chance that they’d be able to actually make it work while maintaining a long-distance relationship.

Picking the best movie for every single letter of the alphabet: Contrary to the song, it’s not quite as easy as 1-2-3.After all, some letters are a lot more popular than others. Just take the letter G. You’ve got The Godfather, of course. (And The Godfather Part II, for that matter.) There’s Ghostbusters, that’s a total ’80s classic. Few recent movies are better than Get Out. And arguably the most powerful film in the history of motion pictures starts with the letter G: Gymkata. How do you pick just one? And that’s just one letter! On the other end of the spectrum, there ain’t a whole lot of movies…

Mark Zuckerberg’s well-timed acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, in 2012 and 2014 respectively, helped his social media empire reach billions of people.More than a decade later, the US Federal Trade Commission is targeting those deals in a landmark antitrust lawsuit set to go to trial Monday, alleging that the acquisitions were illegal, should never have been approved and should be broken up.The FTC argues that Meta’s purchases of Instagram and WhatsApp are “killer acquisitions” that prevented those companies from competing and it was a mistake to have allowed those deals years ago. To support its case, the FTC will argue…
The official trailer was just released for the Apple TV+ series adaptation of Martha Wells’s bestselling, award-winning book series, The Murderbot Diaries. In the trailer, we watch as the eponymous sec unit (or “security unit”), which has named itself Murderbot, is hired for security detail by a crew of scientists. Eventually, it’s discovered to have hijacked its own system and gone “rogue.” Going rogue essentially means that it, as a security/killing cyborg, has free will as opposed to being controlled. And it, naturally, uses this free will to watch hours upon hours of “content,” which includes space soap operas like…
On Saturday, April 12, look east at dusk to see the next full moon rise into the sky: the “Pink Moon”.April’s full moon — the first of spring in the Northern Hemisphere — occurs as Earth gets between the sun and moon. Our natural satellite will be 100% illuminated at 8:22 p.m. EDT on April 12, rising in the east during dusk, shining all night before setting in the west at dawn. If you miss that event, the moon will also appear bright and full on Friday and Sunday.Although you may think it’s fine to just look at any phase…
Nothing can get me through Hump Day quite like knowing One Chicago is waiting for me by the end of the night. However, while I tune into all of the series, typically, it’s easy to prioritize Chicago Fire and Chicago PD ahead over Chicago Med. Watching the latter is more a form of habit while awaiting the real action. It’s never been a bad series; it’s just always fallen to third place — an appetizer ahead of the main courses if you will. (George Burns, Jr/NBC) But Chicago Med is having one of its best seasons thus far—so much so…

Nothing signals warm weather season quite like linen fashion. It doesn’t matter if it’s a flowy dress or skirt or a crisp linen button-down. There’s no better sign to start wearing to wear the lightweight breezy material than sunnier and sunnier days. If you haven’t hopped on the linen train yet for 2025, then you’ve come to the right place. As a fashion person and warm-weather enthusiast, I’ve been so excited to grab a few new linen pieces myself. I’ve dug through the depths of the online retail world and found some seriously beautiful linen clothing worth snatching up ASAP.…
Louise Matsakis: Yes, that is an absolutely beautiful quote that I really want to put on a hat or a T-shirt or a bumper sticker. Just an absolutely incredible picture that Secretary Lutnick is painting there. There’s two basic camps within the Trump administration here, and I think that that’s part of why you’re seeing this confusion because these two camps are sort of warring with one another. They’re both going on TV. So in one camp is the Art of the Deal crowd. Let’s call them that. The Art of the Deal people say Trump is the ultimate negotiator.…
Stepping onto the scene as a why-choose romance author, I’ve been met with all sorts of generalizations and inquires like: “Why-choose romance is all spice and no plot, right?” or “When there’s more than one love interest, there’s no time to develop real connections between the characters” or “Why-choose romances are too niche and there’s no place for them in the mainstream market.” After discussing these topics at length, I can confidently say I respectfully disagree with all the above sentiments. Of course, every reader is entitled to their opinion and should read what they love, but if you’ve ever…
Allison Bailey/NurPhoto/Shutterstock What does science get us? That’s always the question from those who fund it, but not from those who do it. This tension is in full swing in the US right now, as the Trump administration takes a hacksaw to the scientific ecosystem. But it isn’t new. In 1969, as Robert Wilson was testifying before the US Congress to get funding for a new particle collider at Fermilab, he spoke on the topic. The senators were grilling him on how this scientific endeavour would contribute to national defence or help compete with Russia during the cold war. He…

No offensive language will be tolerated on Celebrity Big Brother UK. Mickey Rourke was issued a warning from the reality television series’ producers after a series of comments he made toward fellow competitor JoJo Siwa, according to BBC. During the 24th season, the actor asked Siwa if she liked “girls or boys,” to which the “Karma” singer explained that she’s attracted to women and that her partner Kath Ebbs is non-binary. “If I stay longer than four days,” the 72-year-old then responded, “you won’t be gay anymore.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Certainty: How Great Bosses Can Change Minds and Drive Innovation? The spymaster—CIA’s Deputy Director and one of the most powerful people on Earth—once asked me, “Why don’t the levers work?” Meaning: why don’t all of our leadership and management practices actually change anything? I had no good answer. Worse, his predecessor had asked the same question in a different form. Then, two CEOs asked it again. I realized we keep pulling levers that don’t fit with human nature. That question haunted me—and ultimately, it became the foundation for this…
Cherry blossoms symbolise the fragility of life in Japanese culture as full blooms only last about a week before the petals start falling off trees. Japan’s famed cherry trees are getting old, but a new AI tool that assesses photos of the delicate pink and white flowers could help preserve them for future generations. The “sakura” season is feverishly anticipated by locals and visitors alike, with the profusion of the stunning blossoms marking the start of spring. But many of the trees are reaching 70 to 80 years old, well beyond their prime blooming age. This means increasing costs to…

For the first time in its 35+ year history, Predator is getting an animated movie. Predator: Killer of Killers is an anthology film with three different stories (set in three different historical periods). The film is bypassing theaters and premiering on the Hulu streaming service this summer.Perhaps the most promising aspect of the project is that it was co-directed by Dan Trachtenberg (with Josh Wassung), who previously made the live-action Predator prequel Prey. That film was set in 18th century America; Killer of Killers takes place in feudal Japan, the age of Vikings, and World War II. You can see all three in the first teaser for the…
Richie Kotzen is known for his stints in Poison, Mr. Big and The Winery Dogs, but his career almost took a decidedly different turn when at one point he almost joined Nine Inch Nails.Kotzen revealed the little known fact about his career during a chat with Australia’s Hot Metal Magazine when responding to a fan question of if he had ever come close to joining any bands that people didn’t know about.”The closest band that I ever came to joining was Nine Inch Nails – and nobody knows that. This is a true one,” remarked Kotzen.How Richie Kotzen Almost Joined…
Let me start with a confession. Dresses and I have a bit of a love-hate relationship. I don’t know what it is, but I really struggle to find a dress that I feel truly suits me. But once I find one, I treasure it even more than my go-to jeans or trousers. So this year, I’m determined to find an easy, everyday dress that can fit seamlessly into my wardrobe and break up my daily jeans-and-top rotation.During the spring months and as we move into summer, the definition of an easy, everyday dress really broadens. And at the end of…
Three live dire wolf pups have been born using reconstructed DNA. The extinct species had last roamed North America around 12,500 years ago. The milestone was reached by a Dallas-based biotech firm that focuses on genetic conservation. Ancient DNA samples from fossilised remains were analysed. Modern gene-editing tools were used to mimic key characteristics of the extinct predator. These pups were brought to life by implanting modified embryos into domestic dog surrogates. The young wolves have been named Romulus, Remus and Khaleesi.Ancient DNA edited in lab to recreate speciesAccording to a study shared by Colossal Biosciences, DNA samples had been…
