Wes Anderson isn’t the biggest fan of people imitating his art on TikTok or other social media platforms, he earnestly emphasized in a recent interview with the French publication Le Monde. Though stylizing photos with that signature Wes Anderson flair isn’t necessarily new, the recent release of Asteroid City has seen an uptick in the mimicry, from #aesthetic memes romanticizing mundane activities through hazy filters to AI-generated takes of other films and TV series with his twee spin. Nearly all of these tributes are set to Alexandre Desplat’s “Obituary,” written for Anderson’s 2021 romp The French Dispatch. “I protect myself from…

Actresses Iris Apatow and Leslie Mann made a mother-daughter date night out of the occasion, getting glam at the Hotel Bel Air together before hitting the show in complementary Chanel…

The device captures carbon from air and recycles waste plasticAriffin Mohamad Annuar A solar-powered device could help remove carbon dioxide from the air and convert plastic waste into sustainable fuel and useful chemicals, in a double-whammy of recycling. Previous research on solar fuel cells, a technology that uses sunlight to drive chemical reactions that produce fuels, have used pure CO2. Now, Erwin Reisner at the University of Cambridge and his colleagues have developed a device that utilises CO2 captured from industrial processes or directly from the air, filtering out other gases as needed. “There has been a tremendous advance in…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Search for Complete? I was inspired to write this story after a conversation my husband and I had had over brunch with some friends, the husband commented on how similar I was to his wife, and that when I spoke, he could swear I was his wife talking. This got me to think about a man who possessed both a male and female essence. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Search for Complete, what would they be?

The effects of the ground on propeller noise have been measured experimentally for the very first time by researchers in the Aeroacoustics research team at the University of Bristol. In findings, published in the Journal of Sound and Vibration, the team found clear differences in the noise characteristics of propellers when over ground, known as ‘Ground Effect’, compared to when operated normally. They noted an overall noise increase when measuring at angles above the ground, with hydrodynamic and acoustic interaction effects being a key factor to the overall noise trends. It is hoped this research, tested in the National Aeroacoustic…

Multiple reunions occur on The Witcher Season 3 Episode 3, and it’s hard to tell which the title refers to or if it’s meant to encompass all of them. When Yennefer is reunited with her Aretuzan sisters, Ciri discovers a different side to her mentor and friend. This triggers all the entitled outrage a Cintran princess can muster. Not a good look for her, really, even if it does attract the Wild Hunt. Meanwhile, Geralt reconnects with Anika and, in a way, his mother. In Redania, Dijkstra and Philippa bring Vizimir back into their fold. And, in Cintra, Ehmyr and…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Shadow Realm? Since I was a kid, I loved all things horror and paranormal. Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Clive Barker are just some of my inspirations. I love how they twist something normal into the terrifying. I watched many Angels, Demons, and Exorcists movies. One of my favorites is Constantine. I did not want to write a book about the same old demon and angel storyline. I wanted to create a story that took the reader beyond what humans understand about these beings and crafted the storyline into…

My ultimate tips? Try out the petite sections first—anywhere with an option to choose a shorter leg length saves a lot of hassle. M&S and ASOS impress me the most. But don’t let that stop you shopping elsewhere. Zara and Mango trousers are often much too long in the leg for me, but make friends with your local tailor or download the Sojo app, and your options are endless. Our favourite petite influencer Monikh swears by alterations.Lastly, if you’re shopping online from non-petite collections, don’t be fooled by the length of the trousers on the (usually very tall) models. I always look for styles that look slightly cropped on…
