This December marks the 50th anniversary of iconic horror films The Exorcist and The Wicker Man. Whilst the former is enjoying a reappraisal due to the death of director William Friedkin and a forthcoming movie in the series, The Exorcist: Believer, The Wicker Man’s legacy is still stained somewhat by what happened 17 years ago today. In the original Wicker Man, Police Sergeant Neil Howie is sent to a remote island village in search of a missing girl. The locals claim she doesn’t exist, and Howie finds the island’s ways to be increasingly troubling. Unfortunately for Howie, he’s not able…
FACEBOOK users used to have a lot more friends. The social networking site pursues a commercial strategy of trying to persuade people to “friend” as many others as possible. However, sometime around 2007, users began to question who all these people they had befriended were. Then, someone pointed out that we can only manage around 150 relationships at any time. A flurry of “friend” culling followed and, since then, the number 150 has been known as “Dunbar’s number”. Thank you Facebook! Modern technology may have brought me notoriety, but Dunbar’s number is rooted in evolutionary biology. Although humans are a…
The Bucknoll Cottage Chronicles by Mary Lowengard “Sex and the City” meets “Under the Tuscan Sun” — but no sex, no city and in the Poconos. A wild ride following the author’s journey that begins with her impulse purchase of a little more of a country house (aka cottage) than she really needed. In for the penny, in for the pound, she relays her tales of fixing it up and entertaining house guests, in addition to battling bugs, supporting the local economy (rodeo, anyone?), and dealing with the vicissitudes of weather, storage, gardening, yoga, installing an illegal clothesline and more.…

Creator (and Rogue One co-writer) Tony Gilroy has already promised that season…

Researchers who created a soft robot that could navigate simple mazes without human or computer direction have now built on that work, creating a “brainless” soft robot that can navigate more complex and dynamic environments. “In our earlier work, we demonstrated that our soft robot was able to twist and turn its way through a very simple obstacle course,” says Jie Yin, co-corresponding author of a paper on the work and an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at North Carolina State University. “However, it was unable to turn unless it encountered an obstacle. In practical terms this meant…

Modern Family co-creator Christopher Lloyd is sharing loving memories of his life wife, Days of Our Lives alum Arleen Sorkin, following her death last month. The couple met when they were both hired as staff writers on a sitcom, Lloyd reveals in an essay for Variety. “My name is Arleen, and I’m an empath,” she told him at lunch on the first day. “I hear a clicking in your jaw that may be TMJ. Here is the number of a dentist who can help.” In his remembrance, Lloyd recounts Sorkin’s many achievements from her life before and during their relationship:…
Photography by Getty Images With a series of subtle looks, under-wraps details, and an undoubtedly high budget, the actor’s nuptials bring quiet luxury into the bridal game. By Natalie Michie Date August 22, 2023 Celebrity nuptials are famously fussy affairs. So it feels pretty unusual when an A-list wedding can wrangle half of Hollywood and still feel…chill. And yet, this was the vibe curated by bride Margaret Qualley over the weekend.

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain We’re thinking more about the food on our plates, and where it comes from, these days. To cater to changing tastes and dietary preferences, menu options are being rewritten across Australia and the globe. There will be an extra two billion mouths to feed come 2050. So, we’re going to need to produce more protein, sustainably, and from more sources. That’s where innovative science and technology step in. The proteins we eat and how they’re made are changing. There are almost endless possibilities for foods of the future. Here are four surprising and tasty options our…
“What do you mean my actions have consequences? I’m literally just a girl.” This year, your feed has likely been blessed by the avatars of machinic girlhood: angels, bimbos, and the collective entity of “girls,” divine creatures who have transcended earthly bodies, curiously evacuated of anger, pain, attachment, who have nonetheless become wildly popular on every social platform. Which is to say that, while angels and girls have existed since time immemorial—and bimbos as we know them since at least the 1980s—it’s only recently that they’ve become a bit, floating away from history and into memetic shorthand. Whether it’s the…

All year, Disney has been celebrating 100 years of, well, itself. While it’s mostly been visible on the “Disney 100” logos that has appeared on the front of all of the company’s recent theatrical releases, the company has now announced a massive — and I mean massive — Blu-ray box set that commemorates the company’s centennial by bundling together 100 animated movies from across Disney’s history.And these aren’t 100 shorts; we’re talking 100 animated features, starting with the company’s first, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and going right on through their most recent release, Elemental. (That’s technically a Pixar title, but Pixar features are also…

WHETHER on page, stage or screen, the story of human health and happiness is often presented as an inevitable arc between birth and death. William Shakespeare captured this best with his “seven ages of man” speech. We enter the world “mewling and puking” as an infant, pass through the awkwardness of childhood and adolescence into our physical and mental prime, before a slow decline. Until recently, science appeared to confirm this view. For many abilities, we seemed to reach our peak well before midlife. But it is now becoming clear that this picture is far too simplistic. Childhood and…
Prepare for more of those clicker sounds bouncing around your brain. After setting HBO viewership records, zombie apocalypse thriller The Last of Us is headed for a second season, bringing Bella Ramsey and Pedro Pascal back as emotionally traumatized psuedo-father-daughter duo Ellie and Joel. And now that the series has multiple Emmy nominations under its belt, expect an even splashier season 2. The HBO adaptation is the media giant’s second largest debut, falling only behind Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon in viewership, and having experienced a 22 percent audience jump from its first episode to its second.…

FEW of us have fully digested the transformation of economies and our own behaviour that is implied by the existential fight against climate change – even as last month’s report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) laid bare how little time we have left to accelerate the transition to a cleaner world. It isn’t that the world is lacking in commitments. If you live in the UK, EU, US or scores of other places, the declared aim is that you should be living somewhere with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within three decades. Eleven nations – Canada, Denmark, France,…

For those of us who aren’t quite ready to smell like a pumpkin spice latte yet. By Souzan Michael Galway Date August 23, 2023 “It’s OK; September is always pretty warm, too!” This phrase has been on the tip of my tongue, making a near-constant appearance lately, as August approaches its end. It’s my immediate, automatic response to any mention of summer being “almost over” (horrible) or crisp autumn days being “just around the corner” (cruel and unnecessary). No longer able to hide the sheer desperation in my voice, which reveals itself through hurried sentences and shaky optimism, I unconvincingly…
