In a scene seemingly pulled straight from Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David reportedly accosted Elon Musk over his support of the Republican Party at a wedding in May of last year. According to author Walter Isaacson’s authorized biography, Elon Musk, the incident occurred at Hollywood power player Ari Emanuel’s wedding in Saint-Tropez, France. David, who officiated the ceremony, shared a table with Musk and “seemed to be fuming” when he confronted the Tesla and Twitter executive. “Do you just want to murder kids in schools?” David asked Musk, appearing to reference the school shooting that took place in Uvalde, Texas…

These days, when you think of moneymaking wars between vampires and werewolves onscreen, you’d likely point in the direction of the Twilight series. Still, before Robert Pattinson and Kristin Stewart enraptured a generation with their brooding take on beasts and bestiality, Kate Beckinsale lived on chicken and cabbage to climb into a PVC bodysuit for a supernatural saga that quietly became a big deal. With Underworld, we got a campy action horror franchise that mirrored much of what happened with the Resident Evil film series. Big dumb glossy fun with a horror tinge to it. The results were not to…
A Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus) in captivity, circa 1930. (Image credit: Popperfoto / Contributor via Getty Images)Scientists have extracted RNA from a Tasmanian tiger, marking the first time this molecule has ever been sequenced in an extinct animal.Like DNA, RNA (ribonucleic acid) carries genetic information. But instead of having a double strand of nucleotides as DNA does, RNA is made of a single strand. That makes it more likely to degrade over time and harder to extract from long-dead tissue.But understanding RNA is necessary for learning about the biology of an animal, said Emilio Mármol Sánchez, a postdoctoral…
BookTrib is proud to present to our readers the Writers, Ink podcast, a show about the business of writing. J.K. Rowling was nearly homeless when she wrote the first Harry Potter book. Stephen King penned Carrie on a small desk wedged between a washer and dryer. James Patterson worked in advertising and famously wrote the Toys “R” Us theme song long before becoming an author. Whether you’re traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author. The days of just turning a manuscript in to your editor and walking away are gone. If…

While I love the winter, I’m usually far less prepared for the brisk temperatures…
Recently, Elon Musk told X employees that he wants the platform to become a WeChat-style super app, a one-stop shop for social media, communication, travel, on-demand labor, payments, and more. But the realities of our tech ecosystem—in which the largest players seem committed to surveillance, labor exploitation, weaponizing tech, algorithmic discrimination, and privatizing every part of the public sphere in the name of profit—indicate that a new super app might not be such a great idea.At the moment, the US tech sector is all too eager to play up fears about an impending Cold War 2.0 with China, and snuffing…
If you’ve been keeping up to speed with The Real Housewives of Orange County, you know it’s not been the best season for longtime star Shannon Beador. Over the weekend, though, things reportedly took a dangerous turn when she got arrested for driving drunk in Southern California. TMZ reports that Beador “drove her car onto a residential property in Newport Beach Saturday night, and actually clipped the house.” Even more concerning, the star left the incident scene and parked her car in the middle of the street before emerging with her dog. Sources told TMZ, “She tried to act like…

Pied tamarin – photograph by Jacob Dunn, Anglia Ruskin University. Credit: Jacob Dunn, Anglia Ruskin University New research has found that monkeys increase their use of scent markings to compensate for human noise pollution. Pied tamarins (Saguinus bicolor) use both vocal calls and scent markings to communicate, and the new study, published in Ethology Ecology & Evolution, is the first to investigate how primates change their communication strategies in response to noise pollution. The pied tamarin has an extremely narrow geographic range in central Brazil, much of which now lies within the city of Manaus. The city’s expansion has restricted…
Since before there was ever a ScreenCrush (which means at least 10 years now) there has been talk of a remake/reboot of The Crow. A stroll through the ScreenCrush archives will reveal articles about Tom Hiddleston possibly playing the title role, or Luke Evans becoming the Crow, or a period where Corin Hardy became the director, or Jason Momoa looking into the project pre-Aquaman, or a moment where the whole project got resurrected at Sony after falling apart at Relativity Media, and then the moment a little while later when that project collapsed too.So keep all that in mind when I say this:…
Wellness by Nathan Hill What’s it About? NYT best-selling author of “The Nix” is back with a poignant and witty novel about marriage, the often baffling pursuit of health and happiness, and the stories that bind us together.

Here’s a simple truth: Wellness by Nathan Hill (Alfred A. Knopf) is one of the best books I’ve ever read. It is poignant, thought-provoking, all-encompassing, insightful and expertly written — and packed…
PSA: TikTok merch is now acceptable attire for dinner with Taylor Swift. On Sept. 19, Swift and Sophie Turner made headlines for their spontaneous New York City dinner date, linking arms while walking out of Via Carota following the news of Turner’s split from Joe Jonas. Although the two initially sparked interest for the timeliness of their meeting, our eyes were glued to the actor’s unique sweatshirt instead. The design seemed inconspicuous at first, the black sleeves wrapped tightly around her waist to hide any discerning details. Thankfully, as the city temperatures dropped, Turner layered the sweatshirt over her sparkly…
Many people who have long COVID—a condition in which health issues persist months after infection—report struggling with “brain fog,” recurring memory and concentration lapses that make it difficult to function in everyday life. Now a new study has found these cognitive problems could result from blood clots triggered by infection, possibly through mechanisms like those that cause some types of dementia. These clots leave telltale protein signatures in blood, suggesting that testing for them could help predict, diagnose and possibly even treat long COVID. The findings, published on Thursday in Nature Medicine, suggest that existing blood tests for detecting these…

Growing pains and migraines might share a common underlying causeZdan Ivan/Shutterstock Children who have growing pains are more likely than their peers to experience migraines later in life. The finding suggests that growing pains could be an early indicator of migraines. Growing pains – or sore, aching limbs in adolescence – are often attributed to rapid childhood growth. However, there is no evidence to support this, and their cause remains unclear. Like migraines, growing pains develop rapidly and often recur. So, Raimundo Pereira Da Silva-Néto at the Federal University of the Parnaíba … Read The Full Article Here

The climate-driven advance of beavers into the Arctic tundra is causing the release of more methane — a greenhouse gas — into the atmosphere. Beavers, as everyone knows, like to make dams. Those dams cause flooding, which inundates vegetation and turns Arctic streams and creeks into a series of ponds. Those beaver ponds and surrounding inundated vegetation can be devoid of oxygen and rich with organic sediment, which releases methane as the material decays. Methane is also released when organics-rich permafrost thaws as the result of heat carried by the spreading water. A study linking Arctic beavers to an increase…
