The CW is getting prepared for the fall season. The network on Wednesday unveiled its fall premiere dates, and there are some changes vs. the schedule the network revealed earlier this year. All American, which was set to remain on Mondays in the fall, has been pushed to midseason. The scheduling shift isn’t surprising: The WGA strike is ongoing, and there’s a good chance a SAG-AFTRA strike will go ahead later this evening. Moving the show off the fall schedule is a good move because there’s no telling when new episodes will be ready for air. The decision means all…
Digital reconstruction of the ancient club moss Asteroxylon mackieiMatt Humpage, Northern Rogue Studios A 400-million-year-old fossil reveals that, unlike most modern plants, some of the earliest land plants didn’t have leaves radiating out at angles that follow the Fibonacci sequence. The discovery could force a re-think of a century-old theory of leafy plant evolution. Most modern land plants grow leaves in a spiralling pattern where their angles in relation to one another settle on the “golden ratio” derived from the famous Fibonacci sequence – a set of numbers where each is the sum of the two preceding ones, as in…
Redmi Pad is the company’s entry level tablet that was launched in India last week. This entry-level tablet is competitive when it comes to specifications and pricing.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have a surprising amount in common. It’s not just that they’re Marvel movies involving a multiverse; it’s way more specific than that. Both movies begin with a prologue where a young female hero is betrayed by an older mentor figure. Both follow their central characters as they grapple with the fallout of their previous movie and a previous crossover event in their cinematic universe. Their respective heroes — who recently prevented a multiversal crisis involving Spider-Man variants — are conflicted over their personal and private lives, and they wind up in an even deeper…

Ashley Park is having a hell of a year — as evidenced by our interview with the star, when mere seconds into the phone call she jokingly tells POPSUGAR: “I’m in Utah in the middle of a mountain.” She’s working on a new project, of course. But contrary to her remote location at the time of our chat, Park is seemingly everywhere these days.…
When it comes to a keen sense of smell, dogs get all the glory. But cats have a pretty well-developed sniffer, too—and a new study may explain how it works. Researchers created a computational model of a cat’s nose based on computed tomography scans and tissue slices from a deceased house cat whose body was donated for research. When a cat takes a sniff, airflow is diverted into two different streams for breathing and smelling. The model showed that the animal’s nasal passages then direct the smelling stream through an extensive network of tightly coiled, sensor-studded channels called turbinates. The…

It doesn’t get as American as apples, and like everything else in this country, the noblest of fruits presented our chefs with more than a few problems. The mystery box challenge was back on MasterChef Season 13 Episode 6, and things got kicked up a notch when the regions had to present the judges with sweet or savory dishes featuring whatever variety of apples tickled their fancies. And King Kyle showed his strategic and lowkey evil streak by assigning regions to dish styles perfectly, with mixed but overall effective results. Also, when is the last time we’ve seen Joe this…

Love it or hate it, the DC Extended Universe was a unique creation in the history of Hollywood: An ongoing series of interconnected franchises overseen, at least at its inception, not by an executive but a filmmaker: Zack Snyder, who launched the DCEU with his Man of Steel in 2013, and wound up directing three films in the franchise — four if you count his Zack Snyder’s Justice League director’s cut separately.Snyder left the DC Extended Universe after that, and now that the franchise has given way to a new DC movie and TV universe overseen by James Gunn and Peter Safran, it’s fair to say that…
Megan Hall: When you release a carrier pigeon into the air, how does it know its way home? How do we navigate city streets without getting lost? John O’Keefe has found the very cells in the brain that help animals and humans know where they are in space. In 2014, he shared The Kavli Prize in Neuroscience with Brenda Milner and Marcus Raichle for their work uncovering the special networks in our brains that deal with memory and learning. That same year, he also won the Nobel Prize. Scientific American Custom Media, in partnership with The Kavli Prize, spoke with…
Photography courtesy of Cheekbone Beauty Meet four brands that have made it their mission to support the well-being of communities around the globe. By Lauren Knowles Date June 20, 2023 The beauty industry’s sustainability issues are complex, layered and constantly evolving, but while its gaze is often set on creating a future that is more environmentally responsible (with major strides being made when it comes to things like reusable, recyclable and refillable packaging), brands’ social efforts can be overlooked.

The Four Swords by Paul Tozour What’s it About? As a “leadership fable,” The Four Swords illustrates valuable lessons and perspectives on leadership, management, culture, values, and team-building through an entertaining fictional narrative. “Game design is not rocket science.” At least not to one fictional video game developer in Paul Tozour’s The Four Swords: A Parable of Leadership, Video Games and Dead Dragons. Yet anyone reading this most unusual study into the world of game building and the lessons garnered from the process might beg to differ. The market for video games is slated to hit about $217 billion in…
Beloved NBA analyst Jeff Van Gundy has been laid off by ESPN just before the long July 4 holiday weekend as a cost-cutting measure, confirmed by multiple sources. The 61-year-old analyst has been part of ESPN since 2007 and, for 16 years, has called the longtime NBA Finals broadcast alongside co-analyst Mark Jackson and play-by-player Mike Breen. The network’s cost-cutting is expected to have around 20 on-air layoffs, according to the New York Post. And even though Van Gundy’s exact salary is unknown, he made millions. Although he has declined to comment, his team has confirmed that he was part…
Weed killers of the future could soon be based on failed antibiotics. A molecule which was initially developed to treat tuberculosis but failed to progress out of the lab as an antibiotic is now showing promise as a powerful foe for weeds that invade our gardens and cost farmers billions of dollars each year. While the failed antibiotic wasn’t fit for its original purpose, scientists at the University of Adelaide discovered that by tweaking its structure, the molecule became effective at killing two of the most problematic weeds in Australia, annual ryegrass and wild radish, without harming bacterial and human…
The North Face may be the poster child of the Gore-Tex jacket that swept 1990s fashion, but if it has a real icon among its catalog pages, it’s the Base Camp duffel bag. Introduced in 1979, the Base Camp duffel has undergone few iterations and changes. Somewhere along the way, it became Alaska’s third unofficial state symbol, alongside the grizzly bear and the bush plane. Yet that’s more a function of how sparse the competition is when you need to haul 130 liters or more in a duffel and less a testament to its features, which are sparser than its…
Last month, Loudwire reported on Megadeth mastermind Dave Mustaine’s claim that former guitarist Marty Friedman – with whom Megadeth reunited in Japan this past February – is the only ex-member who’s “ever done anything significant.” Now, another departed member, Jeff Young, has fired back at Mustaine over his blunt assessment.During his recent appearance on the Disturbing the Priest podcast (posted on July 7, 2023), Young – who appeared on 1988’s So Far, So Good… So What! before exiting Megadeth the following year – was asked about Mustaine’s evaluation.“What about that little number one Brazilian world music album I did over…

We’ve heard it time and time again — the Mediterranean diet is great for our health. But despite the significant health benefits of this eating plan, a common deterrent is often the expected costs, especially when budgets are tight. Now, new research from the University of South Australia shows that the Mediterranean diet is not only good for your health but also for your weekly budget, saving a family of four $28 per week (or $1456 per year) compared to the typical Western diet. The study compared the nutrition profile and weekly costs of three food baskets based on: the…
